SteelSeries’ Arctis 1 Wireless Gaming Headset falls 30% in return to all-time low of $70

Amazon is currently offering the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless Gaming Headset for $69.99 shipped. Normally going for $100, this solid 30% discount marks a return to the all-time low price we’ve tracked for this headset. This is also only the third time we’ve seen it at this low price. Here you can game wirelessly with your Xbox, PC, Switch, and Android phones with the USB-C dongle, though you also have a 3.5mm audio cable so you can use the headset with essentially any platform wired. The headset features AirWeave Memory Foam cushions over the earcups to keep it comfortable during those long gaming sessions. The built-in microphone can be detached from the earcup when not in use and will filter out distracting background noise. There are on-earcup controls for volume adjustment and microphone muting as well. In terms of battery life, you can expect up to 20 hours of gaming before needing to recharge.

You can save some cash by instead going with the Razer Kraken Gaming Headset for $44. Unlike the SteelSeries above, this headset is wired only so you retain the wide platform compatibility. The microphone here also retracts into the earcup while you’re traveling or not talking. Audio controls are in-line with the audio cable for on-the-fly volume adjustment and microphone mute toggling. There is even virtual 7.1 surround sound when used with a Windows PC so you can better hear where enemies are coming from. Made from bauxite aluminum, the Razer Kraken headset is designed to be lightweight and portable for on-the-go use.
