According to our gaming headset expert
The SteelSeries Arctis 3 Wireless 2019 makes clever use of the combination of wired and wireless connections. This lets you connect the headset via wire to Switch or console controller for the game sound, while you connected with the Nintendo Chat app or Discord via Bluetooth. Thanks to the closed design and fabric ear cushions, you can disconnect from the outside world for long stretches of time. Thanks to virtual surround sound on your PC you can hear the footsteps of your enemies approach, so you can start pointing your gun in the right direction. The microphone on this headset can be extended when you need it, so it never gets in the way. Note: 7.1 Surround Sound only works on PC.

The headphones are super comfortable, and give nice clear sound with good bass.

Everything you need is included. I was looking for a new one that provides a better experience with gaming (with her 3 for example) but also does not cost 300 euros. I think a lot of gaming headphones are very ugly, with fancy rgb lights... This one is just simple, fits well, my ears don't hurt because it completely encloses the ears, I wear glasses and the cushion is soft enough that the temple is not my skull. Quality is fine, I don't have absolute hearing but it already sounds better than the one I had before (Philips sbh 700)
The long cable for 7.1 and microphone use is quite long, probably intended for the console gamer but very irritating for a laptop.
Pairing via Bluetooth requires a long press on the button until you hear the two beeps, longer than I'm used to from many other devices.

I've been using the Steelseries Artic 3 for a few days now and I was very impressed. Sound quality is fine, not too much bass. Microphone quality good enough to communicate during your game sessions and also for a conference call or your digital meeting. I wear glasses myself and the Artic 3 is very comfortable, you hardly notice that you have it on. The only downside I've found so far is that it sometimes takes a long time before the Artic 3 is found, so a little patience is needed.
