What you will find missing from this list is the iPhone. Xbox One owners sadly can only use the Arctis 1 Wireless with the included 3.5mm cable, making them no longer wireless. This means that the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless works on the Nintendo Switch, Android phones and tablets with a USB-C connector, laptops with USB-C, and PC and PS4 with the included USB adapter cable that connects to the USB-C dongle. Of course this only works if your device has a USB-C connector or you can use the included adapter that cones in the box. No pairing necessary as the Arctis 1 Wireless headsets are already automatically paired to them. With the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless, it’s as simple as just plugging in a tiny USB-C dongle to your device and you’re ready to go. Some even had their own connectors that didn’t work on anything else. Some used a 3.5mm audio jack, some 2.5mm. What used to make multi-platform headsets difficult was the fact that many platforms had their own connection requirements.

The acceptance of USB-C as a standard is what makes this possible. Of course if you used a wired headset, you could use that on practically anything, but who wants to be wired these days? SteelSeries has a solution for your multi-platform woes and it’s the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless. If you bought a PS4 headset, it probably didn’t work with anything else you owned or if you have a PC headset, same would be true for that. What used to not be great are all the different ways our various gaming platforms’ requirements for gaming headset connectivity. Not to mention the fact that we can pretty much game anywhere now whether it be at home or on the go. It’s a great time to be a gamer, especially with all the different platforms we can play on.
