Worth every penny.
Absolutely love this purchase. I use them every day for work 5x a week and they feel comfortable throughout and work flawlessly for about 3 days off a full charge. Sound quality is perfect for phone calls off my work PC and it switches to a Bluetooth connection for music off my phone with the click of a button and over to my Xbox afterwork with little effort. Highly recommended.

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.

The greatest.
These are hands down the best headphones I’ve used. If you are a gamer and are looking for comfy headphones that allows you to modify EQ for not only PC but Console as well, these are them! I’ve definitely recommended these to a few friends. They are not too tight on the head which is nice, but they are also not too loose either. I have a big head. They have a strap so you can make it feel a little more secure. I’ve played games with these, done laundry, flown, these are a must! Especially if you are looking to spend some money, but not like $200.00.
