Overall we are very impressed with the Arctic P311 headset which seems to do all we could ask for and more.  Sure the build quality isn't class leading but the overall construction of the headset feels secure and it should last you a couple of years.  The hands-free functionality of the headset is perfect for people who can't justify a separate headset to use while driving.

Sound quality was perfectly acceptable considering the price point of this headset, even though it doesn’t compare to Arctics range of full size gaming headsets.  Thanks to the light weight of the headset and the soft earpads, it remains comfortable to use for long periods of time.  We found it particularly good to use while running and working out at the gym as it fits very securely and the wireless interface prevents you accidentally dislodging the wires.

For many people, the final decision will depend on the price of the headset.  The Arctic P311 can be yours for the rather reasonable sum of £19 at Overclockers UK.  This makes it very good value for money, especially considering the versatile nature of the product.  At present we couldn't find the Arctic UD2 Bluetooth dongle for sale in the UK, but it is available from Arctic's site at just over €12.

Pros

• Great value for money
• Secure and comfortable fit
• Doubles up as hands-free
• Good battery life

Cons

• Feels a little flimsy
• Multifunction button can be confusing
