Good headphones!
These are a great pair of headphones for gaming and over-all use. They have great sound quality and are very light-weight and comfortable. They have a seamless connection profile when you turn them on and paired with the dongle for my pc. The battery life is great too! With one charge I’ve used them for multiple hours and have yet to use up all the battery in one session.My only complain is that the software is not the best and at times a little confusing. It lacks a user-friendly interface and could be arranged for better profiling but can’t complained. I’ve owned multiple headphones and have messed with different softwares and it took me a little bit to get used to but not impossible.If I had the chance to do it all over again and spend my money somewhere else, I would pick these headphones again. They are genuinely a great product for gaming and generic use I can’t stress it enough.

Huge upgrade from my old headset
Got one of these for the PlayStation 5. I primarily play single player games, so I haven’t really tested the microphone in chat, and I didn’t try the companion app out.I had a cheaper gaming headset that was wired to the controller, and it was so uncomfortable after about 1-1 1/2 hours of play. It actually hurt to wear after that timeframe.These are so much better. Not only is the wireless capabilities more convenient, but they are so comfortable to wear. Sound quality is fantastic, too. I love the ability to just throw these on, and not have to worry about any wires. Weight wise, these are very light. Battery life is awesome, and the initial setup was more simple than I thought.So from that alone, I would definitely recommend these. These are a steal when they’re on sale.

Great, budget friendly headset for many uses.
So far, so good in the past few months. Pretty comfortable, adjustable headband inside of the main band. Clear audio, feedback loop microphone audio (known as sidetone in the comm world), and a lot better than paying $250 Plus for a certain beach turtle that puts such cheap plastic that the headband snaps off. I have not had a problem with these things mixing up my audio unlike the other brand, either, so you will have a USB, corded dongle.Cool thing about these is that they do Bluetooth to your phone simultaneously while 2.4 gigahertz channel to your game system. You can switch between the two, answer calls and hang up. I have not messed with the equalizer settings but I read there are some preset and your own custom equalizer to mess with. I have not because I’m just using it for game chat anyway.I would not suggest expecting super high fidelity audio, but it is crystal clear at this time. The ear cups are comfortable. I also like the fact that mic is on a flexible boom that can be touched back into the left earpiece. There is a push button mute and the microphone itself lights up with a red LED when it’s muted.Overall, this has been a better purchase than the other one I was talked into that didn’t last a year at a $250 price tag at that. Good luck getting one of those fixed, by the way. 🤷This one has been a great alternative in our recommend it at this time. Plus, read the reviews online and decide for yourself. This is a very budget-friendly option compared to many out there with a good balance of features.

It’s perfect…But
If I could give half stars I would. If I could, I’d give it a 4 and 1/2, it’s so close to being perfect, but some small things kind of bring it down for me. Since I have a larger head, and am a particular type.I enjoy the headphones, but there are some things that I REALLY like, and things I DONT like. It’s still OVERALL recommended, and for this price, is okay. Compared to the normal SteelSeries site, which is more expensive…sadly, but I would say, overall a good purchase. Especially if you are coming from a headset that is much quieter, which I was, as a RIG 700HS, to this. It was a nice shift, and change of pace.Pros:Packaging was nice for the headphones, feels very clean, professional, it was a fun opening experience, especially for those like me, who do not often buy the more “luxury” type of brands, or items.Delivery was perfectly fine, thanks to Amazon delivering on a Weekend, that was nice. Too bad the rest of my setup can’t do that, haha, but still good!The band at the top feels really comfortable, doesn’t hurt the head at all, just overall a good feeling headphonesSimple mute button to mute the mic on the microphone, the microphone is also push in, and pull out, so it’s easy to put away, and you don’t have to worry about it, and it looks slick as well, without having a huge mic bulking out of it. Also, be aware, if you push it back, that will NOT mute it; you have to hit the mute mic button, on the back of the mic. It will give you a red LED, but don’t worry…you can remove that in the App!It also a chat mix, and game mix, to where you are able to raise, and lower between if you want things in your chat mix, like people talking, or stream elements going off, like follows and stuff, or you prefer your game, to which you cannot hear any of that. You can also keep it in the middle, where you can hear both.A really nice feature, is the 2.4 ghz, to blue tooth. It’s a simple button, boom, boom, switch back and forth. AND these headphones will lock into like your phone blue tooth, so you can have your headphones in blue tooth on your phone, and hit 2.4 at your computer, and later…when you hit Bluetooth again, your headphones will already be ready, and activated on your phone, if you had not turned Bluetooth off on your phone. It’s a great feature, and really neat!Cons:Size: The headphones can seem…a bit small? I don’t know how to explain it, but the arms that bring the earcups down more, for those like me with a larger head, it really doesn’t go out much. So, those with big heads, can find it a bit worrisome, as I was concerned it might not even fit my head. The arms just simply don’t go down that much, and support that wide variety of heads. But luckily! If you are thick headed, from left to right compared to up and down…SteelSeries has got you covered! It was great when it came to stretching it out to the sides…so that’s a plus!Shape: My ears are slightly too big, so it does sometimes shift and fall a bit for me, so that kind of sucks a bit, but the ears are still comfortable. Fits for long periods of time, so I don’t have a problem with that! It was easy to setup, not a problem at all on the PC.Software: My main problem is the software sadly…The idea is neat, but I will also say that, there are some issues that I would like to point out. Expect to do research to a degree on it, just because it’s a bit more complicated than I would really say it should be. Now…I’m not talking about the EQ’s themselves, that’s fine. I mess with that, and I have experience with that, but for those of you who don’t…Sonar: Expect to rely on SteelSeries’ Sonar. They have over 190 Pre-built EQ’s…Some are really good! But others….or rather most…are not at all. So, expect to use the ones they have as a base model and experiment from there. So, really…to get the most out of these headphones, coming up with your own EQ is pretty beneficial for the best sound quality possible. There are some GREAT videos out there, if you truly don’t know anything about EQ’s, but truthfully? It’s mainly just about going out and experimenting with it, and finding out what you like for your sounds!I will say, another thing…I don’t know, if this is just me not know it yet, (since I just got it today) or if it just isn’t a thing. However, I wish if I was using Sonar, and i had launched Baldur’s Gate 3, it would automatically switch to a Baldur’s Gate 3 EQ, and or another EQ that I have setup for that game to switch automatically too. Then, if I launch another game like Batman Arkham Knight (which DOESNT have an EQ) but I’ve set my own EQ to it, then it’ll automatically sense that game, and switch that set EQ. I think this is beneficial, and really makes it easier for those, who just wish to simply switch games, without having to go through, alt tab, switch EQ’s, etc., etc. It’s more of a small complaint I would say…since, Alt Tabbing really isn’t that much, but you know, it’s the little things!Overall Message: Great Headphones! They work great, they’re simple, they’re fun to use, it’s fun to mess with things, and if you have a quiet pair of headset, don’t worry…This one has you covered! (Little Tip: Turn off Sound Limiter in the settings if it’s too quiet for ya…Don’t worry, we got you head bangers covered!) But other than that, it was a blast to use, and am content with my purchase!

Mon fils l’utilise tout les jours et apprécie sa qualité. C’est un jeune adulte aux études qui vit sous son casque 😉

Długo trzyma bateria. Dźwięk bardzo dobry. Brak możliwości aktualizacji słuchawek na Linuksie. Żeby je zaktualizować muszę to robić na komputerach z Windowsem

It is a pretty good headphone. It came with no problems at all and was not used before.

Muito tone de ouvido e entrega o que se propõe. A bateria dura bastante no bluetooth. Bom som e abafamento. Agora ver a durabilidade
