Arctis Prime Competitive Gaming Headset

The Arctis Prime is a wired gaming headset built for competitive play. It connects via a 3.5 mm jack to consoles, laptops and desktops. The lightweight steel and aluminum alloy frame weighs 1.8 ounces. A detachable cable at both ends simplifies transport and protects against damage.

High-Fidelity Drivers Up to 40000 Hz

The headset uses high-fidelity audio drivers calibrated for detail separation during gameplay. They reproduce frequencies up to 40000 Hz with a 32 ohm impedance and 92 decibel sensitivity. Passive noise isolation comes from the oval leatherette ear cushions. The Discord-certified ClearCast microphone offers bi-directional noise cancellation at 92 decibel sensitivity.

For Competitive Players Needing Wired Simplicity

This headset suits esports-focused gamers who want a durable, lightweight wired option with broad platform compatibility. Buyers who want wireless freedom or active noise cancellation should look elsewhere. The included 4-pole adapter and dual extension cable cover most connection scenarios without extra purchases.

Questions about this item

What does the 40,000 Hz frequency range mean when I am actually playing?

The drivers reproduce audio up to 40,000 Hz, which is over twice the range of a standard headset, so you hear finer detail separation during gameplay.

How does the 3.5 mm jack limit what I can plug into?

The 3.5 mm connector works with any device that has a matching port — consoles, laptops and desktops — and the included 4-pole adapter plus dual 3.5 mm extension cable cover both single and split mic/headphone sockets.

Will the steel and aluminium alloy frame fit my head without feeling heavy?

The headset weighs 1.8 ounces and uses a lightweight steel and aluminium alloy construction designed for a consistent, comfortable fit during long sessions.
