The ARCTIC Sound P311 incorporates a behind-the-head design. Many people, like me, are not a big fan of this kind of design. The main reason is discomfort. The ARCTIC Sound P311, like many other behind-the-head headphones, can hurt the ears after prolonged use, especially if you are wearing glasses.

The non-adjustable headband should give a tight and secure fit around any person’s head. If you are planning to use this headset while exercising, you should not worry about it falling off.



Like other ARCTIC products, the headset themselves are black and dark grey. The headset is fairly compact and it weights a mere 71g.

As it was mentioned earlier, the ARCTIC Sound P311 is a Bluetooth headset. Therefore, no wires are needed for the device to work properly, with the exception of USB cable for charging the integrated battery.



The headset, being made for portability, can be folded into a small bundle for easier transportation. Both the arms and the ear cups can be bent. Once folded, the ARCTIC Sound P311 fits cozily into its carrying case. The USB cable to charge the device can also be put into the case without any trouble.



The ARCTIC Sound P311 has ear cups with soft pads. The padding is adequate for short term comfort, but, for prolonged usage, a more generous amount or softer padding could have enhanced overall comfort.
