Arctic Sound P321 USB Gaming Headset Review

Review Score:
Henry Butt

Arctic are a very new player in the gaming peripheral market, competing with much larger manufacturers like Logitech.  We recently looked at their top-end pair of headphones, the P531 which really impressed us as it performed very well, was comfortable to use and carried a surprisingly low price tag.

Today we are going to look at one of Arctic’s other gaming headsets, the P321, which is not quite as feature-filled as the P531 which we reviewed last week.  So it carries a lower price tag which makes it more available to more budget-restricted users.  We look forward to seeing how they compare with their bigger brother in our tests.

    Fantastic review Henry – for such a low price these should sell bucketloads.

    Only thing that concerns me is that they might fall apart after a while

    The big question on everyones lips is, do they feel like they could last a reasonably long time?

    Excellent, the 5 series is a good price too, but this is just a must have purchase at the price.

    Good review Henry Butt and these appear to be another winner from the far eastern gadget makers ;)

    Man, this is great. I need a cheap pair of headphones with good sound quality for my online matches. I just am concerned these might not be made that great to last. id like them to last a few years. My kid brother uses my headphones and he isnt the most gentle of people. Do you think they could stand up to some abuse from a careless kid?

    The build quality isn’t at all bad… they feel pretty substantial and should last a year or two no problems.
