    Well-built and useful

    I do like this headset, and I've only noticed 2 negatives about it. 1. The audio fidelity doesn't match comparably priced pairs of wired headphones designed for music listening. 2. The Bluetooth connection cuts in-and-out when connected to my desktop PC. The built-in, retractable microphone is real good to have, the USB wireless connection is pretty flawless, and the bluetooth seems to work fine with my phone, so it might be a driver issue with the computer. Overall it seems great for gaming and streaming. The battery lasts a while: I don't game on my computer every day, so I only have to charge the headset once a week or less. It's built pretty solidly, and it's comfortable around my head and ears. Hopefully the ear cups will last as long as the other components; I know they tend to be the first thing to wear out, so it's good that replacement cups are $14.99 on the Arctis website.

    Okay headphones. Just not for this price.

    Not impressed with the quality of the headset for the price. Sound fine, and are they are quite comfortable besides feeling loose on the head.. messed with the band all I could and they either get too lose and slip past my ears, or they fit fine but it feels like it’s being pulled up while wearing them. They are super light weight which I like but at same time they just feel cheaper.

    Buy them. They're worth it!

    Honestly these headphones are the best purchases a multi platform gamer can choose. The setup was simple and streamlined. I can switch it between not only my cellphone but also my switch, my laptop, AND my ps5. Theyre comfortable even for someone like me with fairly decently sized stretched ears. I dont feel like i need ti take my earings out to be comfortable. The noise cancling on these are right where they need to be. The adjustability of the sound is also nice. All while not being tied down to a wire. For the price they are i would even say these are budget friendly for those who want to spend less than 250$ on a headstep but still get amazing quality.

    I’m actually surprised with the quality ! Also downloading the app made everything so much enjoyable to control volume and certain setting on the headset.
