This means you can easily transition this headset between a headset and headphones, no pesky microphone required. There’s just one key difference here, the microphone is detachable here, which is something that the Arctis 3, 5, 7, 9X, and even Pro can’t offer.

The SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox includes the same ClearCast Microphone that the company’s other headsets offer. While playing your favorite game, be it Apex Legends, Elder Scrolls Online, or Call of Duty, communication can be key. However, should you not have a Switch or compatible Android smartphone, there’s an included wired cable to use with the Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox, giving you the ability to plug into any 3.5mm-enabled device. It also works with most USB-C-enabled Android smartphones, just the same. This is thanks to the USB-C wireless dongle, which natively transmits the Switch’s audio to SteelSeries’ headset without wires. As mentioned above, it’ll also work with Switch and Android devices. This wireless headset isn’t designed specifically to work with Microsoft’s console. That’s right, this one headset functions nearly anywhere you can game, making it a true all-in-one device.

The USB dongle uses SteelSeries’ lossless 2.4GHz ultra-low latency connectivity with all five main gaming platforms: Xbox, PS4, PC, Switch, and even Android. The company’s latest headset uses the same speaker drivers as the higher-end Arctis 9X giving you that signature sound that you’ve come to know and love. Until now, there have only been a few headsets that function wirelessly for Xbox, including the SteelSeries Arctis 9X, which we went hands-on with. Now with a 4-in-1 design, the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox still offers the same USB-C wireless dongle, but now, it includes a switch that can make it function wirelessly with Xbox, including the upcoming Series X console. SteelSeries changes the game with 4-in-1 USB-C wireless headsetĪs if the 3-in-1 nature of the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless wasn’t enough, the company has changed the game yet again.
