    Recommend the headset

    They work amazing,Bluetooth is secure and dose not drop with mutiple devices running at the same time, iPhone/laptop or PlayStation and iPad. Also being able to work with a wired connection with out being charged helps.

    Great headset - but not for big ears

    Amazing sound for competitive gaming, sleek design and light. Only downside is that I have somewhat big ears? And the tip of my ears touch the inner part of the headset, which makes a bit uncofortable after a couple of hours. But all the rest makes a pretty solid choice.

    Comfortable and clear sound!

    There are a lot of nice features about this headset, but the main ones that stand out to me are the quality of audio and the comfortability, emphasis on the comfort. In terms of sound its everything you need in a gaming headset, enough said. This headset is very comfortable though and im very impressed. I have a crusher evo headset for the gym and the top of my head hurts after an hour from the support, but with steel series ive played games with these on for 5 or more hours and i have no pain on my head anywhere. I can really get immersed into a gaming session when I know I wont have to ever worry about taking breaks every hour to alleviate discomfort.
