The Package

The box the SteelSeries Arctis 1 comes in looks great. On its front and back, it depicts the headset and goes over its key features.


The sides of the box are covered in quotes from various glowing reviews of the entire Arctis lineup, the key specifications, and a simple breakdown of the supported types of connectivity.


Inside the box you'll find the headset itself, a user manual, a detachable bidirectional microphone, and a 1.7-meter audio splitter cable, terminated in a pair of 3-pole (TRS) 3.5-mm plugs. You'll need it to connect the Arctis 1 to your desktop PC, which almost certainly still uses a separate audio input (microphone) and output (headphones).
