To enjoy 7.1 surround sound gamers have typically had to choose a USB-enabled headset. Arctis 3 shatters that idea, delivering an immersive surround experience via SteelSeries Engine in an analog headset.
ClearCast Microphone
Every gaming headset has been using the wrong microphone. Even SteelSeries. Until now, nobody ever went back to the beginning and challenged the status quo. All Arctis models feature a bidirectional ClearCast microphone. This re-engineered noise-canceling mic delivers incredibly clear voice communication, focusing on the user’s speech while acoustically eliminating virtually all background noise. ClearCast is setting a new bar in gaming microphones, against which all future headsets will be compared.
