Coupled with the ski goggle suspension band, the SteelSeries Arctis 3 makes for one comfortable headset with just the right amount of clamp. They’re made of memory foam with breathable fabric called AirWeave. One good thing the two have in common is their ear cups. As it turns out, it lives up to the claims. This spreads the weight evenly and eliminates pressure points, according to the company. However, the Arctis 3 has got it beat on this front with its ski goggle suspension band. The SteelSeries Arctis 1 has an adjustable steel-reinforced headband, making it a solid pair of gaming cans. SteelSeries fitted the Arctis 1 (left) with a steel-reinforced headband and the Arctis 3 (right) with a ski goggle headband.

The SteelSeries Arctis 3 arguably looks more stylish than the Arctis 1.
