    Very very average

    I had documented with the various unboxing and testing of the product, it was mentioned that the steelseries engine 3 software supported the arctis 3 (that's why I chose it over the arctis 1) and no longer "Arctis 3 no longer compatible with Engine and does not come with a SteelSeries Engine registration code."
    I find that the sound is muffled and there is no longer the possibility to adjust as it used to be possible.

    Excellent product that I use only for gaming. Very comfortable for hours of gaming. The sound quality and the microphone are perfect.

    The best compromise on the market

    The pluses :
    - Fantastic comfort: rather light, the elastic suspension distributes the weight comfortably without the need for adjustment, the fabric cushions do not heat the ears. More comfortable than the Bose QC35 II (less heating)
    - Good sound isolation
    - Good sound quality for the price (audio signature optimized for clarity of different sounds in play, not for audiophile use)
    - Good microphone
    - Durable construction: Strong but flexible plastic (not brittle like the Tritton Pro+), removable cable (so replaceable), fabric cushions (don't fall off like leatherette ones), removable suspension elastic (washable and replaceable)
    - Comparatively very affordable
    - Standard headphone jack with splitter headphone jack + microphone jack

    The cons:
    - A little less comfortable than the Siberia, falls off the head much more easily (impossible to wear lying down without it falling off)
    - Too long cable that drags on the floor in the microphone jack + headphone jack configuration

    In summary, I highly recommend this headset for anyone who wants to hear and be heard clearly in voice chat, wear a headset from bedtime to bedtime without discomfort, and wants something durable without having to spend a fortune. Compared to the QC35 II, it is easier to wear all day (especially in summer), is more practical for use on a fixed PC without bluetooth (built-in microphone, longer cable), and makes speech clearer in voice chat. Compared to the Siberia V2 and especially V3, there is a compromise that makes it much more durable but a little less comfortable, a compromise I find advantageous. Compared to the HyperX Cloud II, the two headsets are very similar, with the HyperX having a slightly better quality mic, but being less comfortable. Compared to the Arctis 5, I recommend the 3 because the USB connection of the 5 can cause noise.

    excellent product

    The sound is good, the foam is comfortable and the microphone is good.
    The rotation axis of the headphones is a bit strange at first but the headphones fit well on the head.
    The box contains an extension cable to connect to a double jack, and this cable is very long, which can be handy or drag on the floor.

    Poor communication

    The 2019 edition has undergone a major change. This product is no longer compatible with the SteelSeries Engine 3 program, a very useful program that allows you to take advantage of the full potential of this headset. Without this program, this headset is worse than a "white product" headset at 15€. You have to use the Windows Sonic program which is not intuitive at all. SteelSeries doesn't give any warning or else, by the "small lines at the end of the contract"...
    For someone who is not familiar with computers, it takes several hours to understand the situation and to find the solution.

    Excellent

    Excellent but prefer the console version which has no difference except a lower price than the edition and these 200 characters annoy me.
    The headset is great and I highly recommend it.

    good helmet

    Good gaming headset, the built-in microphone does its job well; light headset, makes a little pain at the level of the branches after 2 hours of play, if you are wearing glasses. The elastane fabric band is top, the headset never slips.
