This headset is totally awesome! The sound quality is clear, the headset is comfortable and stylish. It also connects to your phones Bluetooth so you don’t have to take them off to answer a phone call mid game. I totally recommend this headset for gaming.

Great headset with cool features
I love the headset because it is very light, has bluetooth and 2.4 connections. The 2.4 dongle has a great shape for using it with my Rog Ally and Switch. You may need a usb c extender if you have a case on your Ally or Switch. With the 2.4 connection there is no latency as far as I can tell. The bluetooth connection is good for connecting to your phone or listening to music. The headset shows multiple connections on my pc for media, chat, gaming, etc. This way I can changing sound settings for each one separately. Another cool feature is you can use the app and control settings in the headset using your phone. The app has presets for many games. I think its the best headset for the money right now and SteelSeries has had gaming headset of the year before.

Steel series for the win
Headset is solid, very comfortable for long sessions and very good battery life. I like the multi purpose aspect, Xbox versions are always better than PlayStation because these can be used on PlayStation but PlayStation versions cant be used on Xbox.
