Product Information

Full details

The SteelSeries Arctis 1 is an all-platform, wired gaming headset designed for gamers who need a reliable, high-performance audio solution that transitions easily from PC and console gaming to mobile use. It offers the signature Arctis sound quality and a professional-grade detachable microphone, making it ideal for both dedicated gaming setups and on-the-go listening. One important caveat is that it lacks active noise cancellation, meaning it provides passive isolation only, which may not be ideal for extremely loud environments.

Can I use the Arctis 1 on an airplane?

Troubleshooting

Microphone is not picking up audio

Ensure the microphone is firmly plugged into the headset port and check that the mute switch on the earcup is toggled to the off position.

Audio is only coming from one side

Check that the 3.5 mm connector is fully seated in your device's audio jack and inspect the cable for any visible damage.

Low volume on PC or console
