Best in the league
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROCCAT Syn Pro Air wire headset performs superior above the rest. First off, this headset is by far on par in performance compared to other high end leading brand gaming headsets. Its superhuman hearing capability along with immersive 50mm 3D audio drivers undoubtably deliver performance without limits. Not to mention its rapid USB-C charging capability and ergonomic design that boasts both memory foam earpads and headband that are in line with pro gamer specifications. I’ve worn this headset for gamming sessions that last a minimum of seven hours without any issues or discomfort. The fabric is breathable and wicks moisture away. The mic is detachable with a flip-to-mute option. The added AIMO RGB lighting is a plus and adds to the esthetics of the headset. I like the fact that I can customize my in-game sound with the EQ which paired with the 3D audio, helps me determine what direction and about how far away my opponent is. In other words (above, below, left, right, or at a diagonal vantage point. 3D audio is not like traditional surround sound but rather a third dimension that helps push the boundaries of traditional surround sound giving you sound coming in at all directions. As for the superhuman hearing, I can clearly hear an opponent’s footsteps, door breaching, multiple sets of footsteps, etc. with absolute distinction of what I am up against in the game before I even see what’s coming at me. The volume rocker is ok and works as it should. Lastly, the wireless technology packed into this headset and USB dongle are second to none. After three weeks of solid everyday use, I can attest to not experiencing any connectivity or latency issues. The battery on this headset performs exactly how its described to perform. With 15 minutes of charge, I get roughly six hours of use. With a single charge I have gotten four hours a day for six and a half days or 26 hours before I got a beeping sound for charging. If you are serious about enhancing the sound quality when gamming, I recommend picking up a pair of ROCCAT Syn Pro Air, you won’t be disappointed. They have enhanced my gaming experience both on my laptop and Asus ROG Ally.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my kids, they love it. They've gotten compliments from other players about the mic quality. My kids say the battery lasts a long time, neither had it get low on them. They say the longest they played with them was about 4hrs. We have 2 of these.

Solid Wireless Headset
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first thing I noticed about the Roccat Syn Pro Air Headset was that it was on the lighter side of wireless headset. The build quality felt solid despite being almost all plastic. Putting them on the headset felt light and comfortable. The earcups were made from an interesting weave of fabric that has a bit of a rough texture. It probably has to do with how it wicks moisture and it's not at all uncomfortable, but it is different. The ear cups are not removeable, which seems to be a bit lacking in a headset at this pricepoint. Isolatoin is average, and this headset does not support noise cancelling. Controls are simple and effective. A rotating dial on each earpiece handles volume and mic monitoring, respectively. A power button and a USB C port are located on the left along with a removeable mic. The felxible mic plugs in once a detachable cover is removed, and it has a notch in it so it goes in one way. This is so you can mute the mic simply by moving it upward. Sound is exactly like the high end Turtle Beach headsets, using the same 50mm nano clear drivers (Roccat is owned by Turtle Beach). Sound Quality is excellent, with fine tuning available via the Neon app which you have to download. The app is required the 3D audio. The RGB lighting adds a nice, subtle look to the headset, however the earcups tend to show fingerprints easily. Aside from that, they're one of the better looking heasets out there. Lighting can be controlled by the app mentioned earlier. The wireless connectivity is solid, though the range may be a bit lacking compared to other headsets. Battery life is claimed to be 24 hours, and I had not issue with that. The USB C allows for a quick charge, giving 5 hours of charge for a 15 minute charge. From a hardware standpoint, the Roccat Syn Pro Air Wireless Headset is very good. It does the core things very well -- it sounds great, it’s comfortable, it has a solid microphone, and its battery life is good. Aethestically it's one of the nicest headsets available, despite it's tendency to show fingerprints. I was disappointed the ear pads are not removeable for a headset at this pricepoint and I felt the wireless range could be better.

High-Quality Audio with Stylish Aesthetics
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROCCAT SYN Pro Air Wireless Headset is a solid choice for PC gamers looking for quality sound and style. The audio performance is impressive, delivering crystal-clear highs and deep, resonant bass, which makes both gaming and music listening a delightful experience. The 3D audio support is particularly noteworthy, providing an immersive soundscape that enhances gameplay. Comfort-wise, this headset is a winner. The ear cups are cushioned and fit snugly, making long gaming sessions comfortable. The headset is lightweight, which adds to the overall comfort. The AIMO RGB lighting is a standout feature, offering a touch of personalization and style that looks great in any gaming setup. It's a fun addition that doesn't compromise the headset's performance. Wireless connectivity is reliable, with minimal lag and a strong signal, ensuring smooth audio delivery during gameplay. The battery life is also commendable, lasting through extended gaming sessions without needing a frequent charge. One minor drawback is the microphone quality. While it's adequate for casual gaming and voice chats, it lacks the clarity needed for more professional use or streaming. Overall, the ROCCAT SYN Pro Air Wireless Headset offers a fantastic combination of high-quality sound, comfort, and style, making it a great choice for most gamers. It's a strong contender in the gaming headset market, deserving a solid four-star rating.

ROCCAT Rocks! Awesome Headset!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Roccat headset is awesome! I have a few gaming headsets but this is my first pair of wireless gaming headets and I was wondering if there would be any trade off with the wireless feature…NONE! I don’t know about you but I do not game for 24 hours strait so the 24 hour battery life they claim is more than enough! I’m glad Roccat with USB C on these as well for charging…very fast. I knew the lighting would be cool just from the box but watching the crisp smooth lighting rotate through the colors is pretty sweet. I don’t use twitch really but these would definitely look the part if you were into that aspect. I just want great sound and functionality and the tactical advantages you gain from that and Roccat delivers that and then some! COD, Hitman, Fortnight all sounded amazing. They are also super lightweight and comfortable as well which means even after playing for 3 hours I forgot about them and was just immersed in the 3D sound. The 3D aspect of the audio was noticeable but if you are thinking that it will sound like a 5.1 surround sound you might be a little disappointed. They are on ear headphones and there is only so much audio drivers can do, so keep that in mind. I also liked that the headphone cups can rotate enough to lay flat. This ability is nice so if your spouse yells at you and you don’t hear what they are saying because the sound isolation is really good! It sounded like there was some noise cancelling tech involved but I did not read that on the box. Maybe it is the cup material which again is light and very comfortable. Anyway…They yell at you and you can easily take one cup off one ear and still maintain a perfect connection on the other ear! A real nice touch that I appreciate. I also really liked the boom mic set up and that you can opt not to have a mic even on the unit if you don’t want. There is a nice little plug that goes into the boom mic hole (see pics). Some times or on some games I don’t want it on there and it’s nice to have that versatility. The mic sounded great according to my opponents and I liked the on ear volume control for mic feedback through the headset. Very intuitive. I use these primarily for PC gaming but was curious if they worked with my ps4 and they did. I could not raise the volume as high as I would have liked on the PS4 with these but they sounded really good. The sound was only controllable through the PS4 settings. Roccat’s got a winner with these for sure! Great sound, supper lightweight and comfortable, long battery and slick lights and the overall build quality of the headset from the cups to the headband to the boom mic....all solid and well built! AWESOME!

Style, performance and comfort all in one.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Roccat product. I decided to get the Syn Pro Air wireless headset due to how much I enjoy my Kone pro air mouse I have from this company. I had a previous gaming headset before from a company with 3 letters in its name that I wont mention. I had high expectations for those but not even a year has passed and they no longer work right. I've had friends complain about how bad my mic quality is and no matter what I did nothing seemed to fix the issue. Eventually the mic just stopped working via bluetooth and for some reason only worked wired in. Thus, here comes Roccat to the rescue. First, upon placing this headset on my head, I noticed a significant difference in comfort level. Not only are these much lighter than my previous headset, they are way more comfortable and softer on the ears as well as being compatible with my glasses. Gone are the days of me constantly adjusting my headset or glasses to try and limit the pain. I am please to say that these were greatly designed with those who wear eye glasses in mind. The build quality on this is outstanding and they are visually attractive to look at as well. The RGB lightning is an exciting touch and my kids become mesmerized while daddy gets some gaming time in just by looking at the lights. The headset was extremely easy to assemble out of box making it ready to use in no time. Mic quality is fantastic from what friends are reporting. My wife was watching a show on the TV and my son was on his iPad sitting in the seat over and I was told they didn't hear anything but my voice coming through the mic clearly. We were all in the living room and I received no complaints of loud background noise. Audio quality is superb as well. I primarily play Call Of Duty Warzone and I was calling out enemies left and right by the sound of their footsteps. I felt way more immersed in my gameplay with this headset thanks to it audio. Battery life seems as advertised. You can get up to 24 hours of use on a single charge and based on my usage that is very obtainable. They charge fast as well and I am happy that they come with the standard USB-C for charging. As someone who is new into the PC gaming world and new to the Roccat brand overall with this being my second product from them, I really can't say enough good things about them. I look forward to continuing to pick up products from this company for all my PC needs. I don't think you can get a better bang for the buck that checks off all boxes in the performance, comfort and style department.

Great quality headphones!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headphone set is my first time using a wireless headphone. I've always been a bit skeptical about the quality of wireless headphones compared to wired headphones (quality of sound). And after testing these for the week. I'm finally a believer that wireless headphones can be as good as most wired headphones. --The Good-- Build Quality & Aesthetics: Overall, I think the build quality of these is pretty great. The ear cup padding is super comfortable against my head. Some types of materials other headphones use restrict airflow and can cause sweating after long periods of time. But I'm happy to say these didn't. These are also super light. Almost no feeling of weight on my head, which is great as well. The only thing I didn't like about them were the swivel hinges. I never really understood the design for that. It makes handling them awkward. But other than that, the build quality is superb. I also really like the LED design. The translucent pattern is cool. And (as with most LED headphones) being able to change the color or pattern is nice. Audio Quality: For the price, I'd expect excellent audio quality. And overall, they do deliver that. Although to get the most from the headphone drivers, you'll need to use the new Neon software (which allows you to change the various modes the headphones can produce). I'm not a big fan of software driven surround sound. And these are no different. It's difficult to capture the true sense of surround sound via software and two stereo speakers. BUT! That isn't to say that the audio quality suffers. Quite the opposite. I was pleasantly surprised at the range these headphones can reproduce sounds at. Most of the games I play have a cacophony of sounds going on all the time. And these headphones did a really good job at being able to handle all the different frequencies (highs, mids and lows). I would say that the lows could be a touch more thumpy, but these were tested in gaming environment. If you really want to get the most out of these headphones, you'll need to fiddle with Neon and it's various settings to tune them to your liking. --The Bad-- Mic Quality: Unfortunately, the mic quality as a whole is pretty poor. Recipients have no problem hearing me. And there isn't any cracking or popping issue. But this is an active (always on) mic. Meaning it picks up every bit of noise and vibration. You'll hear everything from your fingers to touching the mic boom or headphone casing, to your own voice. So unless I am missing something, I was unable to find any settings in Neon to turn off "listen to this device". Which was off in my window sound settings. Volume Wheels: This is a bit nitpicky, but I feel the quality of how these roll could use some work. There is no resistance to the rolling. There are subtle clicks you feel, which helps know how much you're turning the nobs, but they feel so flimsy. Xbox Series X: I was unable to get these to work with my Xbox. Again, maybe I'm missing something. But I tried many different things and I just couldn't get them to play Xbox audio. I read somewhere that you need a USB dongle that supports 1/4 audio jack. To ROCCO's defense, no where on the box does it say these support consoles. I guess for the price it would have been nice. --Conclusion-- If you're looking for a great quality set of wireless headphones for PC gaming, these are a great contender. They have excellent quality, great comfort and the Neon software really lets you tune them to your liking. They do have some drawbacks, but nothing that I would remove them from the competition.

A solid option for gaming audio.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being marketed as a gamer headset, I am really pleased with the Syn Pros more subtle and refined rectangular design. The RGB lighting on the cups is not outrageously bright, which is a nice break from the usual. The matte black looks quite nice but will attract fingerprints. I appreciate that the mic is detachable and there is a cover to cover the input -adding to the headset’s rather stylish look. While these are almost entirely made of plastic, they seem well built, and certainly will stand normal use. The headband is flexible enough. The cups can fold inwards and be put down without concern. The control rockers spin effortlessly, and the buttons are tactile and easy to reach. The hinges seem sturdy as well, and the mic arm is strong and flexible. I wish the earpads were removable/replaceable as it is a concern should they become damaged or excessively dirty. I found the Syn Pro headphones surprisingly comfortable. Being mostly plastic, they are exceptionally light. The cups are small in size, but my ears fit well in them. I was worried that the stiff and rough fabric earpads were going to be a problem, but I have not yet experienced any friction issues. The headband cushion is also soft enough and did not cause any soreness. The clamping force is solid, but I would not shake my head too hard. The fabric earpads helped in keeping heat and sweat low. I definitely appreciated that I was able to wear glasses comfortably at all times. The 2.4 GHz connection is decent, and I was able to walk around in and out of my room without losing contact. I did not notice any real lag when playing or watching content. Also, you can always switch to a wired connection with the included USB-C cord and charge the set at the same time. Unfortunately, I did experience a weird issue where the sound was fine, but the controls stopped responding and I had to restart the headset. It isn’t a huge deal, but worth mentioning. Hopefully, Roccat will address this later with a firmware update. The battery life is respectable at 24 hours per charge and after 3 days of use, I still had 30% juice left. Just in case, there’s the quick-charge feature that adds 5 hours playback with just 15 minutes of charge. Out of the box, the 50mm drivers delivered a sound signature that I found a bit boring. I thought the bass was fine but lacked impact and sub-bass. The midrange was pushed forward a bit, and the treble was clear. Once I downloaded the Neon app, all that disappointment vanished. Once you activate the 3D audio (I prefer GAME), the bass became full, impactful, and had that subwoofer effect. The midrange appears ample, and the highs are pristine, adding clarity. The soundstage was also vastly improved and made it feel as if I was in a large, open area. Positional sounds were accurate not only when playing games, but also while watching movies. Although not audiophile quality, the music still was enjoyable. In case you still need to change the sound, the Neon app features a full EQ. While I didn’t care much for the super-human mode, I ended up rather impressed. The mic quality is also above average. Although I thought it needed a bit more bass, my voice was clear, smooth, and never broke up. Being on the premium side, I wish the Syn Pro would have featured Bluetooth as other brands have, including Turtle Beach’s own. Still, I do appreciate that the USB-C to USB-A adapter allows the headphones to work with my tablet, my phone, and consoles wirelessly. As you can tell I am quite happy with the Syn Pro headphones. While far from perfect, the sophisticated design, comfort, and excellent sound signature (with the app) make the Syn Pros a compelling gaming audio option.

Solid choice for wireless gaming headset
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While not as well known name as Turtle Beach or Astro, these ROCCAT (owned by TB) headphones offer great quality and performance at significantly less cost. I've been using Astro A40s and those are really top notch headphones. They also cost twice as much as these ROCCAT too. I've flip flopped between wired/wireless headsets over the past years and, currently, am set on wired. They offer more consistent sound quality and don't disconnect during those crucial in-game moments. That said, this ROCCAT headset is pretty good in both quality and connectivity. My previous wireless headsets would disconnect, at least, twice during my daily gaming activities. Really annoying and never was quite sure why it always happened. This is the main reason I switched over to wired headsets. However, so far, I haven't experienced any connectivity issues with this headset which is great. I've played 4-5 gaming sessions and never had any disconnects so the sound kept pumping through. The fit of this headset is nice as well. I prefer the mesh earpads over leatherette ones since I don't have any sweat issues during long gaming sessions like I do with my A40s. The headset also feels lightweight too. Even after 3-4 hours of gameplay, I don't feel this headset on my head or weighing my head down like with the A40s. Sound quality is crisp and clear as one would expect. Biggest pro for me was the AIMO RGB lights. I've been on a tear recently with all things RGB and this headset just added that extra nice touch to my gaming rig. The lights are only on the bottom corner of the headset. Personally, I would've liked it to be a bit more prominent however this is fine. Overall, this is a lightweight, comfortable feeling headset which offers great sound quality AND RGB lighting. That and it being about half the price of some other top tier headsets should make this a great addition to any gaming setup.

These need a dongle for wireless, not bluetooth
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones would have earned themselves a 5 star review, had they also included bluetooth connectivity. My bad for not noticing this and it means a lot to me to use bluetooth, but that is only 1 star missing. They are comfortable, they are amazing for gaming, and the battery life is really decent on these, this is supposedly due to the dongle used for wireless. Most importantly, they are comfortable for long periods of time. And these are comfortable if you wear nerdy glasses like me (or any glasses really), because they don't make your ears sweat and my ears typically get very hot. The sound you get out of these is about as much as you could ever ask for. With gaming, you are getting sounds as though they are all around you, and it does help your game if you can hear things that are very subtle or quiet. These guys are from Germany, and are part of the Turtle Beach family of companies. The mic is detachable, and it has the flip to mute feature as well. The headband, I forgot to mention, is very comfortable as well. And the USB-C charing is fast - which helps when your battery is going low. The big dials on them helps adjust volume easily, not having to go through your computer to do. That is a huge plus. You'll enjoy these, I'm sure, as I have. Great sound, great battery life, very comfortable.

Versatile, Can't Go Wrong With These
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box, these Roccats sounded great! My first run was using them for work while @ home, taking phone calls through Skype. My coworkers immediately noticed how clear my voice was (at work, they gave us the standard issue chat headset). Likewise, I was able to notice an immediate difference in dialog while I sat through meetings. After work was over, I decided to plug them into my personal gaming rig. I immediately thought about what software downloads may be available for these, and yes, there is “Roccat Neon” software, which will allow you to tune these headphones for your particular scenario. After configuring the 3D audio to Movie, I switched over to watching Loki Episode 4 and was immediately immersed. It does sound a whole lot better versus its Default setting. It does emphasize dialog and any frequencies in the upper range. I didn’t really get a sense of 3D audio, but it sure did sound amazing. I decided to try some music after. I configured 3D audio to Music. I’d say most would enjoy listening in this setting, especially if it’s recorded live. It does sound like a bit of reverb to simulate the 3D feel. Kinda like someone was singing in the somewhat echoey restroom. Still sounded dang good, especially when the bass drum hits, but for me it wasn’t my cup of tea as I prefer listening to the original track as it was recorded in the studio. There is EQ that you can customize if you have a preference in frequencies. Overall, I was still very happy listening to music with these on. Finally, I played a few games (COD BOCW, Halo MCC, SOTTR). In the Neon software, there is a “Superhuman Hearing” setting which will allow you emphasize footsteps and gunshots. Dang, it sure does. You can also activate 3D audio to Game if that works for you, but there is another mode called Game Spatializer which is another form of 3D audio specific to gaming?? You can’t have both 3D audio and Game Spatializer on. 3D audio set to Game just felt brighter overall, but the Game Spatializer actually felt more 3D. Finally, there is RGB on the headphones. Looking at the Neon software, it looks like you can’t sync to anything else outside of Roccat, but that seems true for most brands anyway. But the only mode you can set on these are Color Wave, or something called AIMO (Intelligent Lighting System). Pretty sure they’ll be updating this down the road. Overall, they’re comfy, simple to use outside of the software (only have On/Off, master volume and mic monitoring volume). Charging is done via USB-C and they provide the cable, but charging will be less frequent because they can hold a charge. They are wireless if you didn’t know already, and they had no problems keeping a solid connection. If you have a dedicated mic, you can remove the boom and cap the hole. If you choose to use the boom mic, know that it has an awesome feature to mute the mic when the boom is positioned vertical. I did it many times to mute myself during my work meetings. I’d say they’re pretty versatile overall, and with more software/driver updates, they will continue to get better. Cons? I did feel that the screen that protects the 50mm drivers felt like I could accidentally pierce it with my finger if I held it the wrong way. I'm mindful now to grab elsewhere when I pick these up. Pricewise, there are a lot of offerings for headphones. If you already own Roccat peripherals, then this would probably be a no-brainer, but for the rest of us, it’s definitely not a bad buy, especially with its versatility, which surprised me. I’ll probably find myself listening to music and watching movies on these more than anything, which isn’t a bad thing either.
