    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.

    rgb lovers need this headset

    love the customizable RGB! they are super easy to use and lightweight so they wont hurt your head. my only complaint is the audio quality in fps games is not the best even with the audio adjusted in the app. perfect if you are looking for an aesthetic comfy headset.
