They fit well on my head and didn't weigh me down or anything like that. I asked everyone how I sounded and everyone said crisp and clear with no background interference. I actually had to turn the music down a bit in game. The volume control on the headset isn't great, but that can all be controlled in game so it didn't bother me. Usually my ears get hot and feel weird after wearing head phones, but because these fit completely over my ears, I didn't have any issue what so ever. I played for nearly 5 hours and didn't take the set off once. I literally plugged them in and played my game. Anyways, this was my first time using a headset, so can't give a great comparison, but I will say they were plug and play. I was originally going to get the Turtle Beach 350vr, but it did not have the 7.1 surround sound option and the Turtle Beach Cloud was out of stock. I decided to get a nice headset and after reading reviews all day, I went with the Steelseries Arctis 3.
I recently started playing Tom Clancy's The Division and wanted to communicate, but the provided PS4 ear bud head set made my ears ring after short usage. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but do enjoy playing for a few hours here and there.
