    These headphones really deliver. They feel very comfortable, and sound really good. The wireless connection is solid, only cutting out for for a split second, but very infrequently doing so. The latency isn't noticable to me, but if you are super sensitive to it, there's also the option to use it wired with a 3.5mm cable. The wireless dongle required no pairing with the headphones, so set up was effortless. The software includes a few options for audio, such as an EQ. The microphone is ok, not the best in the world, but I never expect much from my headset's mic. It's removable, but there isn't a cover for the jack, so it's possible for dust to get in if left for too long. The earcups fold down making it easy to place them around your neck if need be. All in all, this is an amazing headset for the price. I couldn't recommend it more.

    If you’re looking for a decent priced but high end feeling wireless headphone, this is the one to go with! I needed a decent pair for my gaming laptop when i travel. I spent a lot of money on my main headphones and didn’t really want to blow a ton of money on headphones that don’t get used often. I’ve used them for about 4 gaming sessions so far and they worked great! They are very comfortable and i can wear them for up to 4-5 hours before my ears get uncomfortable. I take them off and let my ears cool down for a half hour and then I’m back at it. The sound is pretty good out of the box. I haven’t really found a good eq i like though. Once i do, i think these will sound even better. The mic is also nice. My friends on discord say the mic is almost as good as my high end headphones. The steel series software is great for pc as well! Overall, if you’re looking for a reasonably priced wireless gaming headphone, i highly recommend these!

    I purchased these when most of us were sent to WFH. I needed a good wireless headset for remote work and these sound great for the price range; they actually sound better than my more expensive HyperX gaming headset and have crazy batter life. Lastly, the range is crazy...I can go downstairs and walk everywhere without even a hiccup. I don't think you can beat these in this price range.

    I purchased this because my bluetooth speakers had a hard time staying connected and wanted to start streaming. The sound quality is good and the headset feels very comfortable to wear even after long periods of gaming. The battery seems pretty long so far and haven't had to charge it after a couple hours of gaming and streaming. The only downfall I would say is having to plug a dongle in to use it. I was hoping to be able for it to just connect to my bluetooth on my PC. However, I have never lost signal even when leaving the room it. The microphone seems good enough for what I need it for. Overall, would recommend and will be buying a steel series headset for my next headset.

    I wanted wireless headphones I could use with my Nintendo Switch. At this time, these are one of very few pairs that don’t use Bluetooth for the wireless connection. Most of the others are in the $200+ range. I couldn’t justify that kind of spend so I got these. And they’re great. Detachable mic is perfect for me as I spend a fair amount of time playing solo. Battery life is about 25 hours of play, they’re comfortable enough (personally after about 8 hours of straight gaming I start to feel them). Sound is also great. Playing Zelda BOTW I can hear where animal or enemy noises are coming from clearly. All in all, for $100, these are awesome. Highly recommend.

    I loved this so much I ended up buying 3 and giving 2 away as gifts. Pros. -Easy wireless compatibility with the Nintendo switch and PS$ -It works with my Mac and Pc for Zoom calls I need to do. -Sound quality is great. -Battery life is good too Cons -Does not work wirelessly with the Xbox one. You can use the Aux cable and connect it to the XBOX one control. It's not a major issue and is listed in the item description. -Minor con the USB A to USB C cable that come with this is long and annoying to carry. I just bought another that does not have a cable and is a direct connection. -

    This is a great headset. it is super easy to use them for different platforms. I've used them on playstation, pc, and switch and they all work great. Battery life is as good as advertised, I've never had them die on me. Mic quality is good anytime I've used them for a call I never have any complaints about not being able to hear me. Very comfortable, my ear can get a little hot wearing them for extended periods but nothing too uncomfortable, I barely feel them on my head. I believe wireless is worth it, There is no delay in the sound since it doesn't use bluetooth.

    First off, this headset is super comfortable and I'm able to wear it for long hours without any discomfort. It's compatible with the steelseries engine software, which allows you to customize it a lot. The battery life is around 6-8 hours, and it takes about 45 minutes to get back to full. Comes with a usb-c type connector, and an adapter incase you want to use USB 3.0/2.0. Compatible with Android, PS4, and PC. The sound quality is amazing, although they are not noise canceling.

    The sound quality was decent, and the headset itself is very light. I will say however that if you have a big head (like myself) this headset may not be for you. It was very tight right out of the box, and I was worried that wouldn't change. Very easy to install and start using, and I suspect it would be comfortable if size wasn't an issue. The fabric that covers the ears is very soft. I only gave it 4 stars because the plastic portions of the headset felt like they would easily break.

    More expensive headsets are not always better

    I've been using my trusty HyperX Cloud Flights for the past few years, and wanted to try something else. Recently, I have tried the Logitech G535 and steelseries Arctis 7+ wireless headsets. They both had horrible positional audio in FPS games, and the volume on both were way too low and muffled. I couldn't tell where other players were in game (footsteps), especially in PUBG. So I looked for a simple wireless STEREO headset like my Cloud Flights, and what do you know, the Arctis 1 have EXCELLENT positional audio. I also don't have to crank up the volume with this headset, they are perfect sound wise. They are very lightweight, the headband clamping force is just right for me, they won't be sliding off my head. Battery life seems good so far. This headset is very basic, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles from the Arctis lineup, which IMO is better. My biggest gripe with this headset is the power button, it's flush with the plastic around it, and it's very difficult to find and press down when it's on my head. steelseries should've made the button stick out a little. The steelseries Arctis 1 Wireless is a very good headset for the money, and great for FPS gaming. I highly recommend them!

    It's light, charges fast, and the battery life is insane. The range is also amazing. My last headset would disconnect the moment I left my room and got to the bathroom not even 7 feet away. This headset? I can go downstairs and into the kitchen. I can go OUTSIDE and do laundry and STILL HEAR everything in perfect quality AND still talk. The only cons are that the mic isn't the best and some people don't like a mostly-plastic headset.

    Fantastic headset. Best one I’ve ever owned. Long battery life, good mic, very comfortable (does not trap heat either), plug and play, and the app is very intuitive. One issue I’ve had with gaming headsets in this price range is a slight buzzing/feedback that is entirely absent in the Arctis 1. They are also are very clean looking and don’t have the gamer look to them. Oh, and they fold flat for easy storage.

    My old Logitech G930 headset finally gave up after over 15 years of use gaming on my PC (actually several PC's). Disappointed but it was going to happen soon or later. I wanted to replace them with another wireless set but the user reviews for their current offerings were not very good. After looking at Corsair, whose claimed battery life of 16 hours is actually about 7 hours I continued to search reviews until I found these. I was a little skeptical since I had never purchased any of SteelSeries product line. The sound quality, battery life and charge times are excellent and I would recommend these 100%. And it is a bonus that I can hook them up wireless to about anything I own including my phone. I charged them fully, downloaded the software and set them up. My weekly Friday online gaming ritual lasts about 7 hours, sometimes more. They work flawlessly and it seems to only take about 60 minutes to fully recharge them. The ONLY thing I miss about my Logitechs is the mic boom retracts/mutes and these you have to mute the mic with a switch or remove it. Not a terrible issue. I would buy these again, hopefully I will get several years out of them and not have to worry about it.

    So far these are the best headphones I've had, however, if I have to edit this in the future, I will. They're good price for the money, these have very far range and I can go up to the third floor of my house and still get an ok connection. Battery lasts for a long time, and the mic works well.

    Great value headset. Can go across the house before I start to lose signal. No complaints on mic quality. Construction feels right for the price. Extended sessions, I'll start to feel slight discomfort with these pads/headband, but it's never made my experience unbearable.

    This wireless gaming headset is amazing! Initially when I first put them on, it felt really weird. I was like, wt.. there's no way this is going to feel comfortable. Then 10mins later, I totally forgot they were even on my head. I was walking around the house, taking bathroom breaks, getting food/drinks, all the while still be on comms and able to hear what's going on in the game. I played CS:GO and Guild Wars 2 with them, two very different games. The sound is precise, I could hear footsteps very well in CS:GO without any delays. And for the MMO the sound is deep and rich. The headset is very comfortable. I was able to play for 3 and half hours before my ears felt a bit sore. That's when I took the headset off for a few. To be able to play for nearly 4 hours straight without feeling a thing on your head is very nice. And honestly if you play for that long, it probably is time for a lil break anyway. But really, this headset is very lightweight and comfortable. Don't judge it based on your initial try. I don't know why others have some issues with them. I was almost scared off by negative reviews, I'm glad I gave this a try. If you play games, you should get this.

    Very comfortable. The audio and microphone sound great. I have had no issues with the USB-C wireless dongle losing signal to the headset. Battery life is amazing and they charge quickly. The only downside is that there is no BlueTooth but honestly the USB-C wireless dongle has worked so much better than BlueTooth ever has for me so I don't miss it at all.

    The sound quality is about what I was expecting at this price point. They are very comfortable. I am not a huge fan of the receiver that has to be plugged in at all times. I don't understand why they made the receiver detachable from the USB cable that connects it to my consoles. Seems really easy to lose and then these become unusable as a wireless head set.

    Love love love this headset. Audio is super clear, audio from mic is fine (or so I've been told), comfortable to wear for long periods. The battery last like what seems forever and I like that it turns it's off if it senses no noise coming or going.

    This headset was better than expected. Being new to pc and Steele series in general I was a little nervous to buy them. I have always gone with turtle beach on Xbox and ps4 but wanted my headset to match my MnK. The power on system is a little weird and I can’t control voice feedback like I could on my turtles. But besides that they are worth the price paid for them. Crisp clear sound and good distance before they start cutting off, probably get about 30 ft away from pc before it cuts out. They are solid and don’t feel cheap and I prefer the clothe material around the ear over the leathery types because it allows my head to stay cooler and I don’t have sweat dripping down my face if I’m gaming for more than an hour. Only had them for a month but I would recommend this brand and headphone set to someone looking for a great pair at a good price.
