If your phone does have a USB-C port, however, this will be a non-issue.Īt the end of the day, the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless is the kind of headset that you'll be able to take with you on your commute to work, but for longer gaming sessions it may be a bit uncomfortable. Being able to listen to music on an iPhone would have been a nice bonus. One of our favorite things about this headset was the fact that we could plug the dongle into our MacBook Pro to listen to music - but we do wish that there was a Bluetooth option, however. Once it's plugged in, all you need to do is turn the headset on, and you're connected. If you want to connect the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless to your PS4 or PC, you'll find a USB-A to USB-C cable which will let you connect the USB-C dongle. This does mean that the mic is removable, which is good, as it means you can take the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless out in public without having a mic sticking out in front of your face.Īs for how you'll actually connect this headset to your Nintendo Switch, you'll find a little USB-C dongle in the package, which connects to the bottom of the Nintendo Switch. Over on the left, you have a switch that mutes the mic, a volume knob, a 3.5mm audio jack, a micro USB for charging, and the mic slot. You've got a power button on the bottom of the right earcup.

The SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless is controlled through buttons on the body of the headset. And, since this headset is ostensibly meant to be carried around with you, that peace of mind that it's not going to crack in your backpack is valuable.

It's not all bad with the headband – the internals are all metal, so you don't have to worry about it breaking on you.
