The gaming headset from the manufacturer in Denmark weighs just 236 grams.

Comparatively much space inside the ear cupsĪlready during the first inspection, it is noticeable how light the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 is.

Very comfortable to wear thanks to soft padding and low weight.

Bonus points are then again given for the detachable cable and the removable memory foam ear pads, with which the most fragile components can be dipped out without any problems.

Only the microphone arm has a bit too much play for my taste and turns out a bit too wobbly. Hinter dem Bügel sorgt eine kleine Polsterung dafür, das nichts verkratzt. Fortunately, the black model is also relatively insensitive to fingerprints. The adjustment mechanism is pleasantly (but not too) stiff, although it lacks a click-stop. Here nothing wobbles and creaks, the transition between ear cups and headband is reinforced with metal. Microphone arm with relatively much playĪlthough the headset is made entirely of plastic, I feel that the build quality is very good – considering the price.Cable and ear pads removable and replaceable.

Pure plastic construction, yet quite sturdy.Volume dial and microphone mute button can be found on the left How good is the build quality of the Arctis Nova 1? Below that is the 3.5 mm jack input, which is used to connect the Nova 1. Here you’ll find a button inside to mute the microphone, as well as a volume dial. The controls and the hidden, pull-out microphone boom are found on the left side. The ear cups rotate fully inward and are covered in a soft AirWeave Memory Foam fabric. With the exception of the pattern on the ski goggle headband, which can be easily removed and thus adjusted in terms of size. Dabei präsentiert sich das Headset schlicht und zurückhaltend.
