Based on 1 year's data from Mar 17, 2026 How it works
So kinda very stupid question, recently got a pair of audio technica m50xs and was wondering if wearing them with one ear off would cause them to stretch more than if I just wore them normally? I ask as my previous pair of headphones, a pair of arctis 1s got rather stretched out and would fall off my head if I wore them on both ears and looked down. Unsure if those got as stretched as they did due to me mostly wearing them on one ear (because some games I need to be able to hear the audio) or if it was predominantly (it very likely was) because when in a vc/party id put a different set overtop to hear friends with the other ear (said set is a klim puma with a really thin and flexible headband) Tldr will wearing m50xs on one ear stretch them more than wearing them normally?
When you play multiplayer competitive games, you can hear footsteps of the enemies easily. Also you can get good sounding headsets cheaper than a sound system(where i live). I have steelseries arctis 1 headset it sounds so good compared to my tv’s speaker but it is uncomfortable. I am not used to wear headsets so i prefer tv speakers. I played The Last of Us Part 2 while wearing my arctis 1’s and it was an incredible experience. Wish i could use them more often.
Steelseries arctis 1 with mic and it workshop really well
If you don't mind me asking - I've had the Arctis 1 and Arctis 3 before and both have really thin ear cushions to the point where they touch my ears and make them hurt after an hour or two because of the friction. Did the Novas do the same to your ears?
I have the wireless Steelseries Arctis for games and music and such, but get much more mileage out of [these](https://www.amazon.com/NUBWO-HW02-Cancelling-Comfortable-Computer/dp/B0DM7J2CVV); the sound quality isn't completely awful, works on PC/laptop/phone and cheap enough if travel becomes necessary I won't cry if they get lost/broken/stolen. Yah, they're wired, but I prefer the lack of fuss and worrying about running out of charge for wireless, etc.
Dunno what headsets you've been using but I'm on my 3rd SteelSeries headset since I've been buying them since 2015. First pair I bought which is the Siberia v2s (iirc) are still working beautifully and I use them with my PS5 when I travel for work. My second pair is an arctis wireless pair, forget the model, but they only got replaced because I was given my current ones as a Christmas present. Zero issues ever.
The wireless Steelseries Arctis, but you do have to use their software sonar.gg to make it sound sooo good!
Sound is okayish but Sonar brings it to a whole other level. I have a friend who has the same Arctis but didn’t use Sonar because he didn’t know about it. Ingame(Rainbow 6 Siege, Battlefield 6 ,etc) I noticed he didn’t hear enemy footsteps while I was ALWAYS able to tell him where the enemy was coming from if behind him or behind a wall or something. My songs also sound way more immersive with Sonar turned on I noticed. Downside is you always have to swap sound output between the modes: gaming, chat & media. But to me it’s well worth the two clicks. PS: I used to have a G432 predecessor and although it’s in a way cheaper/different class I’d never go back to that. Sound quality wasn’t great, padding started to flake after a couple of years and ultimately one side broke off. It’s another price bracket so there’s no real comparison here I know.
Steelseries arctis wireless sound great and they are the most comfortable headphones I’ve worn.
I love my steel series arctis, the extra battery it comes with on the wireless version to dock in the amp thingy is awesome and truly makes a fully wireless experience. Plus when they get to end of their life you can replace the batteries too
Yeah Idk my steel series lasts for like 8 hours and it comes with two batteries so I always have one ready to go on the dock... Voice sounds great. It's like anything else, some things are shit some aren't.
