The boom mic sounds pretty good despite it being a wireless headset which uses some degree of mic compression while emphasizing bandwidth for the audio portion. I noticed absolutely no lag while in game, at all! That was a huge deal for me as I tried gaming with a bluetooth headset before and there was a horrible delay in audio. This headset is just as comfortable as any other that I tried, the audio sounds really good sound and provides me decent spatial awareness. The fact that the differences between such a price gap were not mind blowing led me to the more logical and tangible factors, cost and appearance. Why are those two the main factors you ask? Because honestly, I really couldn’t perceive the difference between a $70 headset and a $200 headset. So what did it eventually come down to? Well, there were two major factors that lead me to this conclusion, cost and appearance. I’ve decided that the Steelseries Arctis 1 Wireless is my new gaming headset. So after weeks and weeks of experimenting and trying both wired and wireless headsets, I’ve finally made up my mind on which to keep. Bestbuy allows you to return any product within 14 days, so worse case scenario, I’d get a bunch of products to review and I could simply return them if I hated them. However, I decided to bulk purchase a bunch of wireless ones to test out and for comparison to their wired counterparts. I was quite concerned with latency in the audio and that kept me from even looking at any wireless headsets. When it comes to gaming, I was looking to stay on a wired headset.
