Awesome new headset for everything!

I first saw the new Arctis headset on PC Gamer and was blown away by the design. It looks so sleek and slim, way different than all the other spaceship on your head gaming headsets out there. Upon trying it out I was first impressed by the comfort. It's super light and just fits right away without even adjusting anything. The ski band that SteelSeries hypes totally works in make the headset stay comfortable over time.
So I fired up some music and tried out the headphones. The sound is really great. I watched some of the new Star Wars and loved how clear every shot and explosion were. Played some Fallout 4, and again was really impressed with the sound quality for $80!
It comes with interchangeable cables, which is great, because I switch it back and forth between my PC and my PS4. I don't have to crawl behind my desk each time, I just swap out the adapter for the PS4 controller.
Oh, almost forgot the microphone. I've used a Logitech and a TurtleBeach headset before, and the mics were always terrible. SteelSeries definitely did something different on Arctis, because this one is super clear! Good enough to even do some streaming with.
Love the Arctis overall. Job well done, SteelSeries.

My eight year old saw these while shopping at best buy. They are a perfect match with his gaming computer and keyboard.

As the Product Manager for the Arctis headsets this photo made my day. Great to see a kid with a nice gaming rig enjoying the headset!
