![]() The sound is very crisp and clear by default, plus you can use Sonar's excellent tools for changing equalizer settings (like lowering the highest pitches of your voice, a biggie for me), noise cancellation, noise gating and so on. ![]() It's pretty simple, with a power/pairing button to connect to the dongle and USB-C port for charging and a choice of three, different size snap-in ear clips. Lori Grunin/CNET Arena Wireless MicĪ standalone product intended for speaker listeners, SteelSeries' $100 dongle-connecting wireless boom mic is a good chat alternative with a low-key design that makes it an excellent videoconferencing option as well.

As you might expect, the less expensive Arena 7 will probably be the more crowd pleasing model, but there's a boatload of competition for the 2.1-channel buyer. But the flexibility of connections and the high-quality sound may be worth it if you're specifically looking for a full-time speaker system with good software control. The Arena 9 isn't a gaming speaker system you buy just to get a break from a headset it's too expensive for that, and a good surround headset delivers a less expensive, albeit more intimate experience.

The satellites have an organic, functional design that I like, with four-zone illumination on the front satellites that can sync with the content on your screen (once again, that's for PC only).
