We started with the same high performance, low-distortion driver from our best-selling $300 flagship headset.

Our goal: create a soundscape that provides a natural and accurate reproduction of all sounds, not just explosions. We challenged everything to give gamers the speakers and microphones they deserve. We went back to the drawing board and stripped down all the unnecessary components, leaving us with a minimalistic design that’s more efficient at suspending the headset while being as light as possible. Our goal with Arctis was to create a lightweight headset so comfortable, you'll forget you’re wearing it. This breakthrough design keeps you cool and dry while providing the noise blocking needed to focus on the game. Memory foam is wrapped in the breathable, moisture-wicking fabric coated with a special thermoplastic material that provides noise isolation.

Inspired by athletics apparel, we invented AirWeave fabric ear cushions that are insanely cool and soft to the touch. Easily adjust the tension of the band for a perfect fit and comfort for even the longest gaming sessions. The elastic fabric perfectly contours across your head, evenly distributing the weight, eliminating all pressure points. We searched the world to create the most comfortable materials found in gaming.
