Arctis 1 Wireless USB-C Headset

The SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless is a gaming headset built for PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Android devices. It connects through a compact USB-C dongle that uses lossless 2.4 GHz wireless for ultra-low latency. A detachable ClearCast bidirectional microphone provides noise-cancelling voice pickup and is Discord certified. The headset shares the same 40 mm high-performance speaker drivers found in the award-winning Arctis 7.

Best for multi-platform gamers

This headset suits players who want one wireless audio solution across PC, console and handheld devices. The USB-C dongle works directly with Switch in handheld mode and Android phones, while a USB-A adapter covers PC and PS4. A 3.5 mm cable adds wired compatibility for iOS and other sources. Buyers who need Bluetooth connectivity or active noise cancellation for travel should look elsewhere.

20-hour battery and 2.4 GHz range

The internal battery delivers up to 20 hours of continuous wireless play per charge. Lossless 2.4 GHz wireless maintains a stable connection up to 30 ft (9 m) from the transmitter. Frequency response spans 20–20,000 Hz on the drivers and 100–6,500 Hz on the microphone with 32 Ω impedance and 98 dB sensitivity.
