The microphone is also terrible and everyone I've spoken with says there is an annoying echo

The microphone is also quite good

Microphone doesn't seem to work at all as of today

Light and comfortable headphones with decent sound and a less-decent microphone.

Before the microphone stopped working they were great though, comfortable and the audio and microphone quality were nice.

microphone broke

However, this by far has the best microphone that I have used

I love that the microphone is retractable so when I don't need it, I can put it away instead of just having to flip it up.

LOVE the retractable microphone and the over ear design helps for comfort.

Microphone was great and

Microphone was decent for teleconferencing, which was the primarily reason for purchasing this model

Work well and have a great microphone

However, the microphone is also very clear

I bought this headset at the beginning of December 2016, now its just over 2 months later and the microphone has stopped working all together

It has a retractable microphone that you can use

Overall this is a great headset for someone with small ear who likes defective microphones, you can spend less money for a better headset, I recommend a logitech g430.

Microphone also works great.

These sound great and the microphone is fine

Terrible Microphone extremely quiet at even the highest possible settings

Terrible Microphone extremely quiet at even the highest possible settings

It features an adjustable volume and mute button, and its microphone is very adjustable.

The microphone seems to work well on them too.

If I had paid for these, I would return them for replacement, because it seems that the microphone will not be reliably usable without the universal cable working properly

AvoidThe sound is fine, there's a terrible microphone echo if your settings aren't set to filter out quiet sounds, which if you talk quietly is a huge problem

I like the retractable microphone

The microphone is simply awful.

I would fork over a bit more to get a headset with a better microphone

The microphone retracts in the body of the ear which is pretty cool.

I would not recommend this because the microphone doesn't work as well as they say it does.

Arctis 3 is a winner for people who want good headphones with great microphone quality.

They worked great for 3 months and then the microphone completely stopped working

The microphone is an improvement from the Siberia v2

It is unfortunate that an otherwise lovely product is marred by such a terrible microphone

On the other hand, the microphone broke less than 3 months after I got it, only 'hearing' at less than 1 tenth of the original volume now

The microphone works very well, and is high quality.

I haven't recorded with the microphone, but based on what I've seen on YouTube, the microphone has that distinctive nasal "gaming headset" quality to it, and blows out often during "P"s

The design was comfortable and high quality and the sound was superb, and the microphone was probably good as well but I can’t attest to it

Lightweight, long battery, nice microphone build, functions wells, and looks professionalCons

The finish of the headphones themselves is clean, the retractable, inset microphone is fantastic, and having all the

The headphones sounded amazing and works immediately out of the box, the microphone sounds great and is easy to slip in and out of the side of the headphones

My favorite part is the actual microphone, the fact that it can retract back into the body of the headset is fantastic, I can't tell you how many headsets that have broke on the most important part, the microphone

Everything worked but microphone

Microphone is as bad as the headphones are good.

Comfortable, good sounding, very good microphone, value-priced

The retractable microphone is another feature I've not had in a pair of headphones (and I liked

It was unfortunate that the microphone stopped working

The microphone also works really well

The bendable, stowable microphone is brilliant

I am referring to them as headphones, not a headset because the microphone is defective and steelseries support takes a day minimum to respond to one message

The retractable microphone is a big bonus when I just want to listen to music

I wanted to like this headset so bad, but the microphone simply outputs static, nothing I do gives me any output

You get a lot of flexibility, a solid microphone, and a much better audio experience that won't give you a headache
