Overall, the Arctis Prime continues SteelSeries’ record of great comfort in a headset. However, I didn’t find the leatherette earcups to be nearly as hot as I thought they would, and I could tell a difference in how much better the Arctis Prime is at noise cancellation. I personally prefer the cloth earcups, as they tend to keep my head a bit cooler during long sessions. That differs from the soft cloth found on my Arctis 7 headset. This iteration of the Arctis headset opts for leatherette earcups. A small adjustment in the headset’s elastic band was all it took to completely alleviate that problem. Out of the box, the headset was a little tight on me (mostly due to my abnormally large head). Coupled with the adjustable, snow goggle-like elastic band, the Arctis Prime almost literally floats on top of your head. The Arctis Prime continues with SteelSeries famous lightweight aluminum frame. That has never been a worry with any SteelSeries headset I’ve tried previously, and it’s certainly not an issue with the Arctis Prime.
There’s nothing worse than having a headset that gives you a headache after a long gaming session. But something almost equally important as having great sound is a headset’s comfortability. Comfort Image: Josiah Motley / KnowTechieĪ gaming headset’s priority is obviously offering great sound quality. So let’s jump right into the new Arctis Prime headset. After just over a week of wearing the Arctis Prime, the headset feels very familiar, which is a good thing considering the name that SteelSeries has made for itself in gaming peripherals. The Arctis Prime retails for $99.99 and has a detachable 3.5 mm connection, making it able to be used across any platform. The headset is plug-and-play with powerful on-board drivers that offer stellar sound performance across multiple gaming platforms. The Arctis Prime is part of the new Prime line of SteelSeries gaming accessories aimed at competitive players. The company has now launched its Prime series of accessories and I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the new Arctis Prime headset to give the new series a try.
I’ve personally been using the Arctis 7 wireless headset for years and the company’s Rival 5 mouse has become my everyday mouse across any game I’m playing. SteelSeries is a brand that has been known for years for providing top-of-the-line gaming accessories.
