Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset is a top-tier choice for the professional gamer and music enjoyer who wants zero compromise on quality and creature comforts Am a huge fan of the minimalistic styling of these headphones. Matte black, soft touch finish with simple Alienware logos is a far cry from the flashy Alienware designs of the past. The subdued design of these headphones makes clear that they are aimed at both gaming and general usage. They are stylish and can be worn just about anywhere. Memory foam, leatherette earcups are comfortable even for long gaming sessions. Have always been a fan of the comfort of headbands on Alienware headsets. The headband on this is no different. At 315 grams, these headphones are relatively lightweight. Have worn these headphones continuously for over 4 hours comfortably during my testing. To note, earcups are not on a swivel which somewhat limits portability and comfort, especially if wearing the headphones around your neck. Graphene coated 50mm drivers have a frequency response range from 20Hz-40KHz. Headphones sound great out of the box for both gaming and music listening. Active Noise Cancellation is superb and is leaps and bounds above earlier iterations of headphone ANC. There is no feeling of discomfort or pressure on the ears with ANC on. This is the first gaming headset I have reviewed which has ANC, a striking feature which reinforces that these headphones are aimed at both gamers and a general audience seeking high quality sound. Headphones have a decent level of passive noise isolations as well even with ANC off as well. Built-in controls on the headphones include buttons for power, volume, mic, connectivity and noise cancellation modes. These buttons/switches are located on the bottom of the device and have positive tactile response. A large bonus in my book, as I enjoy the convenience of controlling these key functions via physical buttons. Headset connects via Bluetooth 5.3x, or with the included 2.4GHz USB dongle. The dongle connects via both USB-C and USB-A with an included adapter. Backwards compatibility is a huge plus! Battery life is advertised to be 75 hours on Bluetooth and 70 hours on 2.4GHz with ANC off. Dell also claims that the headphones can gain up to 8 hours of playback time with only 15 minutes of fast charging. Of course, these are in perfect conditions with ANC off but is impressive, nonetheless. I am a big fan of the detachable boom mic included with the headset. Microphone quality is strikingly good, and the ability to detach is perfect for storage and using the headphones on the go. Headset also features AI Noise Cancellation to cut down on background noise. Alienware Command Center Software allows for customization of headphones. Great app. If you are looking for top tier headphones which are versatile in and out of the gaming sphere, look no further than the Alienware Pros.

The Alienware Pro Wireless Headset is a well-crafted and high-quality accessory that enhances any gaming setup. Made from premium materials, this headset offers exceptional comfort, allowing you to wear it for hours without discomfort. It comes with a detachable microphone and a USB-C Dongle to USB-C charging cable. The headset claims to last around 70+ hours, which seems to be true for me since I barely needed to charge it. Designed to fit various head shapes, the headset is compact and easy to adjust. The cushions provide a comfortable fit, staying cool and not making me sweat during extended gaming sessions. Visually, the headset has a sleek and modern appearance, feeling lightweight and premium without being bulky. Featuring active noise cancelling (ANC) and transparency modes, the ANC is impressive, while the transparency mode makes it feel like you're not even wearing a headset. The audio quality is excellent, with strong bass that can be customized through the Dolby Access app. It supports both a 2.4GHz USB dongle mode and Bluetooth mode, allowing you to switch between two connections. The detachable microphone makes it convenient for outdoor use, as its design is subtle and comfortable. Overall, the Alienware Pro Wireless Headset is an outstanding choice for gaming, casual use, and outdoor activities, making it an excellent long-term headset option for many.

This Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5, PS4, and Switch in Lunar Light is my go-to headset every time I play a game, listen to music, watch videos, or do anything that requires a headset and microphone. I love how it is so versatile. I mainly use it with my PS5 gaming console, but I also use it with my laptop, gaming desktop, smartphone and tablet. In the box you get the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset, detachable microphone with cover, USB-C Wireless Dongle, USB-A to USB-C Adapter, USB-A to USB-C Cable, user manual, and an Alienware logo sticker that my son immediately took from me. What do I love most about this headset? The sound is over the top. I can hear everything in the game. I can hear things in the game that I have never heard before. I have been playing this game or a version of it for years, and up until using this headset, I had never heard some of the sounds in the game. It really blew my mind. In games where there are a lot of things going on, with a lot of players at the same time, I could actually hear people walking. I could hear the crickets in the background. I could hear a stream or creek. It seemed so real. Also, the noise cancellation is amazing. I couldn’t hear anything but the game and the people in the game. The microphone is great too. The people that I chat with on a regular basis said that I sounded very clear with no feedback at all. No background noise at all. It can’t get better than that. Besides over the top sound, excellent noise cancellation, and great microphone quality, I have to mention something else that really stands out to me. Comfort. This has to be the most comfortable headset that I have ever owned and worn. Ever. It doesn’t surprise me that professional gamers have endorsed this headset. It’s just that good of a headset. I have had so many gaming headsets over the years, and this one is my absolute favorite, and not just for one reason, but for all of the reasons I have mentioned. There is the Alienware Command Center software that utilizes Dolby Atmos that you can use on your PC to help customize your audio. You have to use this with the Dolby app, as it requires bot. This only applies to the PC, and not to PS5, PS4 or Switch. The controls are all on the headset, which make it convenient to use. The controls on the headset are: Power On/Off, Volume, Microphone Mute/Unmute, ANC mode On/OffTransparency, Connection Type 2.4GHz/Bluetooth/Pairing Battery life is stated to be 75 hours in most cases, but it can be less than that depending on settings. 70 hours when in ANC mode. My experience is that I got about that many hours each time, except when I use ANC. Another great thing about this headset is that is charges very quickly. The quick charge time is 15 minutes due 8 hours of game play. It’s pretty cool. All in all, this is the headset to get for gaming!

I routinely try out as many gaming and audio headphones as I can. Many do not live up to their hype or promise, but this set of Alienware headphones was a very pleasant surprise. My first criteria for gaming headphones is comfort. If they're not comfortable, everything else is irrelevant because I can not wear them for hours at a stretch. The Alienware headphones are very comfortable with plush, soft cushions that even after 3-4 hours of usage they still felt great. They are not excessively heavy either. Next up is sound quality and this is where I was impressed. The price might seem to be a little on the higher side depending on what you're looking for, but the 50mm drivers in the Alienware headphones not only deliver very acceptable bass but the mids are lights out good and this is where I think they shine. The highs are also above average but the mids are some of the best I've heard on this range of headphones. I spent the entire first few days just listening to music tracks and watching movies to really soak it in. I compared them to my other few pairs of gaming headphones like my Rigs and Cloud X and they absolutely wiped the floor with them. The real shocker was they were better than my Apple Beats Studio Pros and were on par in an overly bright way with my Sonos Ace headphones for audio and movie playback. I just could not get over how impressed I was with the audio from these Alienware headphones. From classical to hip hop, classic rock and more they delivered. This naturally translates into fantastic gaming performance as everything was crystal clear and sounded fantastic. I logged plenty of hours in World of Warcraft The War Within along with Fallout 76 and the sound was top notch. Everything was bright, crisp and clear. I let my wife try them out as she still is using her pair of "The Haymaker" gaming headphones when playing World of Warcraft which is a $300+ pair of headphones and these Alienware headphones "absolutely wiped the floor with The Haymaker, wow they sound gorgeous!" in her own words. The way she was eying them up after trying them out for a few hours makes me think I might have to secure another pair for her in the future. Moving along to noise cancellation (ANC), the secret sauce of the Alienware is the excellent seal the soft, plush cups make when in use. Even without ANC, you are already getting a bit of noise reduction just from this. Press the ANC button and you are presented with very good ANC. It is on par with my Beats Studio Pro but unfortunately it is nowhere near the insane levels of the Sonos Ace headphones which is the best ANC I've ever used but it is still more than adequate. My litmus test for ANC is my HVAC blower that is about 10 feet outside my door. Only the Sonos Ace can completely remove the sound of it when in use, but the Alienware are a solid second. Next is the mic. One thing I love about the Alienware headphones and I wish more headphone makers would do is make the mic removable. Most times I do not want or need a mic and being able to remove the entire thing is a quality of life improvement I seriously like. When it is connected, there is a mic mute button when you do not want to be heard but being able to remove the entire mic is next level. As for the recording quality, it is very solid and decently removes a bit of the surrounding noise when talking which is nice. It is more than passable and when doing some Expeditions and Raids in Fallout 76, my team could hear me loud and clear using my normal speaking voice and that's good enough. Lastly, is the three tiers of connectivity. You can use the Alienware headphones via a dedicated 2.4ghz dongle, Bluetooth or wired USB. I like the dongle because it is a USB-C dongle that also includes an adapter to USB-A making it compatible with both ports. I tried it in both a USB-C and USB-A port and it worked fine in both. Wired worked well too along with Bluetooth. While it isn't noted in the description, the Alienware headphones are completely compatible with PCs. I had no problems using both the wired and wireless connection with my desktop PC. Since they are Bluetooth, they are also compatible with Bluetooth devices including my AppleTV and iPhone and both connected and worked perfectly with the Alienware headphones. With two types of wireless and wired connectivity, these will be able to connect to just about anything. The button and volume controls are very easy to use and I like the physical positional buttons for most functions. After several days of using and testing the Alienware headphones I could only find a few, small problems and they are not deal breakers. From the ultra picky like I wish the USB cable was white and matched the headphones to a higher degree of an issue like there were a few few pops and cracks occasionally when using the wireless 2.4ghz connection but I've also encountered this before too on other wireless headphones with PCs. I was at first concerned about the price being higher than some of my other gaming headphones but for the quality of sound, build quality, connectivity and aesthetics these are well priced and for those who actually want to use them for audio and movies these are very acceptable for that too. Overall, I like them. In fact I like them so much these are now my new favorite gaming headphones replacing both my Kingston and Rig headphones as my daily drivers they are that good.

The Alienware Pro offers everything you would expect from a headset and then some. With a brand name like Dell you know that quality and design are all going to be rolled in to one package. What it then comes down it is rather or not this is the right fit for you. So out of the box you get everything you need to get you started including the usb-c charging cable, usb-c and usb-A dongle. The headset does come with a detachable boom mic which is also very flexible, allowing you to bend it up and out of the way when not in use. The ear cups are detachable which do allow for replacement and upgrade of the design. One thing to note on first impressions was two things, number one was the comfort. This is hands down the most comfortable, plush headset i have ever worn. Most headsets are rigid and require hours of wear time in order to properly break them in. That was not the case with the Alienware. Out of the box putting this headset on felt almost like having a pillow on my head. After countless hours of runtime i had almost forgotten i was wearing them. Number two, this headset design is geared more towards medium to smaller head sizes. Out of all my head sets that i own, this one in particular definitely felt smaller. Something to note incase you have a bigger head for that bigger brain. The ear pieces are not foldable and do not rotate inward or outward. This was a little disappointing as the unit will telegraph in order to fit proper height but is not foldable for easy stow and go. Full charge yielded about 15 hours of run time and a depleted battery took about 1 hour to recharge. One thing to note on this topic was during testing i ran the battery down and recharged it to full. Upon use the unit would not power on and kept saying "power off" when powering on. This ended up being a firmware issue which fixed it immediately. With that being said it is very critical to keep up with firmware updates on this headset. Sound quality is phenomenal with all sounds, including chat, coming in crystal clear. The unit does have ANC (active noise canceling) which works very well out blocking out noisy roommates. The unit will run both in wireless mode or wired mode incase your battery runs out. In wireless mode there are some things to make mention of. There is definitely a sound quality difference between the USB-C dongle and the USB-A dongle. While using the USB-C dongle quality seemed more distored and during high impact sounds, like explosions and gunfire, the sound quality would keep dropping out and breaking up a bit. The USB-A dongle was perfect with awesome quality and 360 like quality. I was able to tell which direction people were coming from during gaming and when high impact action took place there would be no drops in connectivity. Here is my take away. This unit is awesome for those looking for comfort and sound quality. But keep in mind that there is no app to help access all your features or help with firmware updates. Run time is alot shorter than the claim time and larger head sizes may not be as comfortable. But overall what makes this a good fit for me is the comfort, sound quality and Bluetooth capability. The Bluetooth built in means you can connect to anything with Bluetooth capability including your mobile device for mobile gaming.

I got these headphones to use on my Nintendo Switch and have been blow away by the quality of the sound and their overall feel and construction. I used it on both my Switch Lite and my kid’s regular Switch and it connected quickly to both. I also connected it to my phone to test out the mic with my voice app and it was also a seamless quick connection. The construction of the headset is superb, providing fantastic comfort both over the ears and on top of the head. It is easy to forget I am wearing them. The buttons on the headset are easy to maneuver and intuitively placed. The headset is pretty lightweight, with the majority of the heft distributed through the well-padded headband. The headband has a large degree of extension and is pretty small when fully retracted so it can fit a variety of head sizes and age groups. The sound is outstanding. I can hear every detail, every footstep, and directional audio. There is a lot of bass, but it remains in balance with the other sounds. It is great playing games like Fortnite where the directional audio is extremely useful but also calmer games like Animal Crossing and Zelda, where I have now heard sounds in the game I did not know existed. The headset comes with 3 settings: active noise cancelation, normal, and transparency mode. The ANC does a great job of canceling outside noise. Likewise, transparency mode allows sound to come through so well that it sounds like I have no headset on at all. The mic is AI driven to cancel out unnecessary noise and from my testing it does work quite well. It does not matter if the mic is sticking straight out or close to the mouth, the noise comes through just the same. It hardly, if at all, registers background noise such as clicks and taps. The mic is attached to the headset via audio jack so it can easily be removed when not needed. I feel that this is a great gaming headset for kids and adults alike. The amazing sound paired with cloudlike comfort and intuitive controls make this a worthwhile addition to a gaming arsenal. I personally have trouble taking them off once I am immersed in my game and captivated by the many sound details I never knew where incorporated into every Switch game.

In over 6 years of doing reviews, many of which have included gaming products like gaming headsets, I have had yet to review an Alienware gaming headset that I found to be truly terrific and worth both the price and the name. Well folks, at last, here it is: an Alienware headset that is bound to knock your socks off! The audio experience on this headset, even right out of the box, is phenomenal. Crisp trebles, clear mids, and rumbling bass are all present to a reasonable degree when listening to both music and gaming! I tested this song with Aurora’s Runaway and was taken into utter music serenade with the experience. My performance using this on my Windows Gaming PC with the FPS game Hunt Showdown was excellent with this headset. Hunt Showdown is a game with true binaural audio, and your competitiveness in the game heavily depends on your ability to track enemies’ footsteps and triangulate gunshots with audio cues accurately. I missed no beats with this headset and my friends and I laid waste to our enemies in multiple high MMR games of 5 to 6 stars! The adaptability of this headset is amazing. The Bluetooth was effortless to set up with my iPhone 14 Pro, and I enjoyed taking advantage of this headset without the microphone as I ran around doing my errands and cleaning the house. The 2.4GHZ connection is stable and clear and, much to my gratitude, a gaming peripheral maker FINALLY figured out that a USB-C 2.4GHZ dongle does not have to be a gargantuan piece of plastic! As you can see in the pictures included, it is a tiny little guy; I was actually confused for a moment as I thought that, surely, this was only an extension! But, nope! This is the dongle!! They also have included a charging USB cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter so it is ready to go for other use cases! I did use this with my PS4 Pro as well and was happily rewarded with excellent wireless audio! The build quality of the headset is great, with very comfortable leatherette/vinyl-type earcups and a detachable microphone that actually sounds remarkably good right out of the box! My Discord gaming companions had no complaints about my spoken audio and my OBS recordings sounded great to my ears as well! Altogether, for my first time reviewing multiple Alienware headsets, I can finally give one of their headsets a full 5 star rating and my recommendation!

I needed a new headset for my PS5 Pro but also wanted a headset that was able to work with my gaming laptop along with my Switch and the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset checked all those boxes and more. Right out of the box, the headset made a strong first impression. It comes in both black and white color ways, it has a clean and modern look that doesn’t look too overly "gamer," making it great for both gaming and everyday use and you could easily mistake it as a premium headset. Weighing in at 315 grams, it feels solid yet comfortable and you barely notice it on your head during gaming sessions. The memory foam ear cups and headband, are made of a soft faux leather, which provides a snug fit and seal without excessive pressure. However, that being said the ear cups do not swivel or fold flat, which makes taking it on the go a bit tricky and it doesn't come with a carrying case. The audio performance of the Alienware Pro Wireless is very impressive. With 50mm graphene drivers, it delivers a broad frequency range from 20Hz to 40kHz, producing deep bass and crisp highs. The headset also supports Dolby Atmos (on PC, for a one time $15 fee), enhancing spatial audio for a more immersive experience, which is crucial for competitive games. On the PS5 it has the ability to do 3D-sound, where you can calibrate the 3D-sound which sounds best to you too in order to get the best audio experience out of the headset for your games. These headphones also come equipped with ANC (active noise canceling) and does a great job of reducing background noise, allowing me to keep focus during gameplay and drowning out background noise such as typing, PC fans and air conditioning. The passive noise isolation from the ear cups is already effective, but turning on ANC further minimizes those low-frequency sounds. I found these to be the most comfortable gaming headphones that offer ANC that I have tried. Other headsets that have ANC, place the ANC microphone on top of the drivers in the ear cups, which lead to a lot of discomfort, especially for someone who has bigger ears and it would dig into my ears. This is not the case at all with the Pro Wireless Gaming Headset, where the ANC is built into the drivers of the headset. In the ANC toggle button there is an option for transparency mode, allowing you to hear the sounds in your surroundings. All of these settings can be achieved from a push of a button on the left ear cup, if you want greater customization of these modes, you can download the Alienware Command Center on your PC. The app allows players to adjust the transparency mode and microphone levels. However, the software is quite basic and lacks advanced features like customizable EQ settings or detailed sound profiles. Console players should also be aware that the software isn’t available for PS5, PS4, or Switch, so any adjustments have to be made directly on the headset in the app. The detachable boom microphone is one of the standout features. It captures voice clearly, ensuring solid coms in multiplayer games. The unidirectional design helps filter out background noise, and the flexible boom arm allows for easy positioning, while also having a LED light indicator to let you know that when the light is red, the mic is currently muted. The ability to remove the mic is a great feature for when you are playing single player games or just watching videos or listening to music. The headset offers multiple ways to connect. The 2.4GHz wireless connection with the included USB-C dongle (comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter), provides a stable, low-latency experience on the PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Along with Bluetooth 5.3 support makes pairing to mobile devices or computers easy if you don't have or want to use the dongle . That being said, while offering Bluetooth and a 2.4GhHZ connection, you cannot be connected to the dongle on your PC or PS5, while also being connected via Bluetooth on your phone, to allow for simultaneous passthrough audio while gaming or the ability to answer a phone call while gaming. While this is not the biggest complaint, it is a tad inconvenient, in that other headsets on the market in this price range offer that feature. Pros and Cons Pros: Comfortable design with memory foam padding Excellent audio quality with ANC for immersive sound Multiple connection options for different devices Detachable microphone for added flexibility Cons: Ear cups don’t fold flat, making it less portable No simultaneous Bluetooth passthrough from phone to game audio Overall, the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Headset is a strong choice for any gamer that is looking for a mix of performance, comfort, and versatility. While it has a few minor drawbacks, its high-quality sound, comfortable lightweight fit, and flexible connectivity make it a great addition to any gaming setup.

To say I have had a lot of headphones over the years would be a massive understatement. I've used headphones that range the spectrum from ultra-cheap to audiophile grade and everything in between. In that is, of course, included a number of 'gaming' headsets. Packaging: To start, the Alienware Pro headset is packaged as you'd expect, in a white Alienware box (most of Alienware's current stuff seem to be leaning white instead of the other colors they've used in previous years), well packaged with a charging cord (USB C) and wireless dongle with adapter. Setup: The connectivity is straightforward, whether via USB-C dongle to your PS4/5 or via dongle or Bluetooth to your PC or Bluetooth to your switch. There's a lot of options for connectivity and it is discovered and set up easily. If connecting to your PC you can of course install the Alienware command center software for some advanced settings, otherwise when connecting to the PS5 it is managed through standard audio connections. Use: They sound great. Maybe not audiophile quality, but for a gaming headset they are superb. On top of that they are shockingly comfortable. The earcups are exceedingly smooth and supple, extremely comfortable to wear. In general the entire headset is just nice to touch, very smooth in all the right places and doesn't pick up fingerprints. It doesn't have the excessive buttons all over the place of some other brands and does not need them. The responsiveness in games is good, I'm able to figure position in regards to other players with ease. The microphone is decent without being wonderful, but it does detach if you choose to do so. The noise canceling is great. Overall: All in all these are an excellent set of gaming headphones and you could do well to pick them up. I'm thrilled to have them and use them.

Works great, can be used wired or wireless. Noise canceling works good.

Works great as a replacement for the older AW gaming headset that broke apart around the ear cup to headband link. This feels more premium and durable. Sounds great as you would expect from a high end gaming headset.

[Employee of bestbuy] The active noise cancelation is amazing the 7.1 surround sound slaps as well. the only thing i dislike is that white gets dirty quickly.

My husband loves them. It matches his whole Alienware set.

Build and sound quality are top notch! From music to footsteps checks my boxes. Friends say mic is solid

Great Headset - I could walk all the way to the back corner of my back yard and still had connection. Sound was superb. Connection was amazing!!!! I just cant tolerate over ear headsets. I would buy these again if I could rig them to be on ear instead of over ear.

This was a gift for my grandson. He absolutely loves them. Just what He wanted.

With so many options in the market for gaming headsets, it's always hard choosing the right one. Recently, my old Logitech headsets died on me and I needed to get a replacement ASAP. My old Logitech headset was comfortable and provided crisp clear sound and communication. So, I wanted something comparable, and at a decent price point. Last week, I got my hands on the Alienware Pro Wireles Gaming Headset. One thing that is immediately noticeable is the overall quality of the headset. The headset is not too bulky, is lightweight, and feels good around my head. For connectivity, they do include adapters, so you are able to use these on much more than just your gaming console. The sound quality on the Alienware - Pro Wireless Gaming Headset is incredible. The large earmuffs/pads do a great job at blocking out background noise, yet feel incredibly soft around my ears. Unlike other gaming headsets in the market that feel tight around my head, these provide just the right amount of pressure that allow me to continously play for long periods of time. Another big plus is the battery life. It's been about three days since I fully charged them and the battery is still going strong. Bluetooth distance is also great. I would highly recommend the Alienware - Pro Wireless Gaming Headset to anyone.

I love the world we’re in with gaming audio almost having an arms race to out clarify and outperform the battery life of the last headset that came out. I’ve owned some pretty incredible headsets that ranged from bare bones to all the bells and whistles and all along the in between spectrum. I believe that the Alienware Pro headset is all that you NEED without the razzle dazzle of some other company’s headsets. In the box is the headset, a USB-C dongle, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, a USB-A cable, a detachable mic and shield, and some paperwork including a Alienware sticker. What you need and a sticker…that’s it! The package itself is nice too, its a slip case and very slick but not flashy or unnecessarily complex. The headset itself feels compact but very comfortable, the cushions are memory foam with a soft leatherette coating outside (this seems to be pretty standard but mentioning it in case it matters). The headband isn’t as “springy” as some I’ve used but the cups slide up and down to adjust and I didn’t feel like I wasn’t getting it to sit right on my head and it didn’t feel tight. I was able to easily pair the headset with both my laptop and my TV to get my game audio but you can also use the included dongles to connect to anything that doesn’t take the bluetooth connection. Once I had it connected and adjusted to my head I was impressed with how loud and clear they are. I’m not an audiophile by any means but the sound at times felt like it was mimicking surround sound (audio on one side feeling like it was from behind). There box says the sound is from 50mm graphene coated drivers, which I’ll take their word for and that its a good thing but there are zero complaints about the sound being delivered through this fairly compact headset. With the detachable mic you can get good sound in and out with noise cancellation, the box says it uses “two mic AI noise cancellation” and the friends I used to talk with couldn’t hear all the noise I was apologizing for on my end (kids and conversations aren’t compatible without apologizing). I’m not a big online gamer but I could see this working great for Zoom meetings or the like as it seems to be excellent microphone quality. I mentioned the headset is compact but that doesn’t mean there’s not an abundance of features built right into it. Obviously power on and off as well as a switch to connect via bluetooth or 2.4gHz, a mic on/off button, three ANC modes (Active Noise Cancellation: on, off, or passthrough so you can hear your surroundings with it on both ears), and the all important volume knob so you don’t bust your eardrums. You can customize your audio experience with Alienware Command Center too. Lastly, these advertise running for over 70 hours per charge and offering a quick charge where you get 8 hours from 15 minutes plugged in charging! I haven’t used them for 70 hours but I’ve used them for over 30 this past week and haven’t gotten any indication they’re low on battery at all. As a whole these are comfortable, well performing, and long lasting headphones which pair easily with your computer, gaming system, or TV through bluetooth or 2.4gHz connections. They aren’t the most flashy headset on the market, no LEDs or unnecessary bells and whistles, but they’re going to out perform whatever you have on your head now and its going to do that for longer than you should be able to stay awake without a break. These are EXCELLENT headphones and you’d be a fool not to check em out if you’re in the market for quality headphones no matter how you plan to use them.

To briefly sum up my thoughts…this is a good headset, more or less across the board, and I think just about everyone would be happy with them, but there is no real defining feature. Not really a negative, but just something to note. Everything you would expect is there, the headset itself, a mic (which thankfully is detachable), a USB-C dongle, as well as A-C adapters and cables. All quality and feel good. The build seems solid, and I think they should last over time. My only concern would be the leather-like material covering a fair amount. It should be fine, I think, and to be honest, it is much like many other cans out there. As for the looks? Simple. Plain. Clean. Lots of matte black. I suppose some, or many, may want something more “gamery,” but this look is perfect for me. Setup was easy for me, and I did not run into any issues. Mostly a plug and play experience, some software adds, and a little fine tuning. I also appreciate having a couple of ways to connect them, as well as them being so cross platform. In use, I really liked them. I found them to be quite comfortable, the cups fit my ears well, and the materials choices were solid. They do get a little warm after using them for a while, but that is just kind of normal and could be a me thing. I didn’t mention it above, but I also liked their use of buttons. Fairy tactile, and I got used to their placement and feel very quickly. As for sound, I generally liked everything here. I think they do deliver very good sound. Clear. Clean. With some punch. I also feel they “largely” delivered on the ANC. They do provide a nice seal, which is important here, and in most cases did a nice job of isolating me from the outside world. It just is not the best, so keep your expectations in line. Lastly, battery life has been outstanding so far. Frankly, I am quite surprised. I will have to see how this holds up over time, but I don’t think this will be an issue going forward. Ultimately, as I said above, I think this is a good headset, and I am very pleased with them. Just solid across the board. It would be nice if they folded for travel, not really a dig, but just something I would like. Beyond that though, the build is good, I like the look, they’re comfortable, and they sound quite good. Perhaps nothing to wow you, but I do think the value is there.

Been using Astro's for a minute and they're pretty good headsets. However, after using these Alienware ones, thinking I may have to switch up and start using these for my gaming sessions. Really liked the sound from my Astro A40s however the earpads that come with them aren't that great at blocking outside noise. They're those fabric type pads so quite a bit of sound can seep through while playing. Thinking of having some noise cancelling headsets would be great but haven't really seen ones that fit the bill. These Alienware seem to pick up where the Astro left off and in great style. The fit is quite nice on these headsets. I have a big head and these fit quite well without pinching my ears or noggin. Used them for a few hours and didn't have any issues with discomfort. The sound is quite nice. The 50mm drivers deliver great audio quality and sounds come in pretty nicely. The sound is enhanced by the active noise cancellation. This is a huge upgrade for me as now I game in my own little audio world without outside noises distracting me. Much like some of your higher end music headsets, these deliver very good noise cancellation which allows you to hear everything better in game without the need of jacking up the volume. Connectivity is great as you have several different ways to connect the headset to your PC/console. The buttons on the headset are laid out quite intuitively which is nice so everything you need to push or adjust is right where you'd expect it to be. The white color is nice too in that it matches my Alienware laptop. Great little headset for gaming.
