Our Verdict
SteelSeries Arctis 1
Xbox Stereo Headset
The SteelSeries Arctis 1 are better wired gaming headphones than the Xbox Stereo Headset. The SteelSeries have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, a better passive soundstage, and their mic offers superior overall performance. However, the Xbox headphones are more comfortable and feel better built. They also have a virtual soundstage feature.
