SteelSeries Arctis Prime Review: A balanced audio workhorse with surprisingly good performance

 

If you need an affordable pair of headphones that gets the basics done right, this is your stop.

Excellent audio quality for its price point ; Extremely comfortable to wear even for long periods ; Capable of handling intense audio types without suffering distortions ; Small but reliable array of controls

Relatively unimpressive in terms of appearance ; Lacks any distinctive features or customisation options ; Cable management can be a nuisance to deal with

SteelSeries Arctis Prime review

 

The SteelSeries Arctis Prime is a wired headset I actually like

Great gaming and music performance ; Comfortable ear cups ; Sleek premium design ; Decent microphone

Doesn’t work with SteelSeries software ; A wireless model would be nice

The SteelSeries Arctis Prime features great audio as well as a comfortable and sleek design, but it could benefit from SteelSeries software support.

The SteelSeries Arctis Prime are satisfactory for neutral sound. While they have a fairly neutral sound profile, the high-mid to low-treble is recessed, so vocals and lead instruments sound somewhat weak and veiled. Our unit's L/R drivers are also...

SteelSeries Arctis Prime Review: Pro Gaming Audio, Simplified

 

The Arctis Prime giveth, and the Arctis Prime taketh away.

+ Well-balanced and comfortable ; + Wide frequency response ; + Above average mic performance

- Bass can get in the way of other frequencies ; - 3.5mm only ; - Hi-Res performance could be better ; - No ChatMix, Sidetone

The SteelSeries Arctis Prime is a stripped down, pro gaming-grade headset with a curious mix of features.
