    Amazing sound, mic quality, light weight

    Light weight but feels quality. Adjustable head strap and super soft fabric cups make for a comfortable extended playtime. Easiy to go from wireless connectivity, to type-c without loosing sound or chat with friends. Then switch to Bluetooth when i am away from my pc on my phone and need to listen to something privately. Mic attaches easily and sounds excellent. Can be muted with the push of a button. All buttons are easy to push unlike some headsets with tiny buttons. Adjustable strap can be taken off for cleaning. All audio input and output, as well as the RGB can be djusted using the Ghub app on your pc, or download the app on your phone. This is. Much quicker method and you dont need to exit out of your game. The app is straight forward. Not that you need to use Ghub. Its pretty much plug and play. I can walk through most of my house and still listen to music on my PC. The only con i can think of is the price, but with the quality of everything combined, its well worth the price.

    Excellent headset for my work from home job!

    I really love my new headset! I I previously got another Logi headset, however, it was bulky and I decided to go with this one. I am so glad I did! The noise cancellation on this is great, the headset feels really comfortable on my head, and I love the RGB lights on this as well! The audio output and input quality is exceptional. And I like that it has triple connectivity. It is very light on my head as well. It is beautiful and well-made.

    Terrific product

    I was skeptical because I usually only wear noise cancelling headphones, especially for video games because I play sound heavy games like rainbow 6 siege and apex, but I was not disappointed with these at all. You can also download dts surround sound to improve quality in game. They’re lightweight, they last me easily 20 hours before needing a charge, and the biggest thing is they are comfortable. Love these and will buy another once my current ones die out!
