    These have pretty good sound quality just don’t care for the fit around my ears and head. I can feel my pulse when I put them on. I can wear them for about 30 minutes before having to readjust them to get comfortable. I’d pass if you wear a size 7 1/4 fitted hat or more.

    Great headset for XBOX

    Originally bought a Corsair H60 headset for my XBOX One. Everytime I got into an XBOX party the other party members would complain about echoing. So I returned the H60 and purchased the SteelSeries Arctis 3. Pros: This head set has amazing sound quality and are very comfortable. I am very pleased with the game play sound. Cons: Ill start with the design is very comfortable. But over a few weeks of playing with this headset I notice that the headband part seems to have stretched a little. There is very little adjust ability to the headband. So they feel a little loose on my head. I highly recommend this headset.

    This headset is incredible. It's extremely comfortable to wear thanks to the flexible head rest and the comfortable ear covers. The cable is super long so you have plenty of flexibility. It comes with the adapters needed for different PCs and Gaming Consoles. The Sound Quality is absolutely next level. Games sound crisp and I've noticed audio queues that I've missed with my previous headset. The voice is awesome too. My friends on discord have noticed a major improvement thanks to the better microphone. Testing it with a camera, the audio is much more clear and crisp. I highly recommend these headphones especially for the price!

    I bought these for use with my PS4 but they work great on the Switch, an IPad and my work laptop. Sound is clear and the bass is good without being too loud. Headphones are comfortable and the retractable mic is a great feature since I seldom use it.

    Purchased for use on Xbox One X, your mileage may vary. Pros -Great band on headset, extremely comfortable -Weight is manageable and doesn’t feel cheap -Mic hides away in the headset itself. No more lost or broken mic booms -Connects to controller, no charging to worry about Cons -No mic mirroring for price -All plastic -The mute button is too small and set way to far back, sits flush to headset -Sound quality is average across the board -Volume range is poor. Either too loud or not loud enough. TL;DR - Not great but not terrible, look elsewhere for a new headset.

    Sounds amazing and has its own downloadable software to adjust the sound output. Playing shooting games, the output is pretty accurate at locating where the shots are coming from or if someone is sneaking up on you. Very comfortable over ear headphones. I have worn them for hours and never had any problems with them when it comes to discomfort.

    Great Budget Gaming Headset for PS4

    After spending hours online trying to find a gaming headset, I decided to give this a try. So far, it has exceeded my expectations. The mic provides clear audio to your fellow players and is very easy to use. The headset is comfortable and the strap makes size adjustment simple. Directional footsteps are clear in-game and the volume when plugged into a PS4 controller is good. I did not have to maximize the volume on my console to hear things clearly, which can be an issue with some other headsets. My only complaint would be that my ears touch the drivers, though this may not be applicable to everyone. Other than that, it is perfect.

    The audio of the headset is great and fits very comfortably onto my head, and I can hear game sounds great, but if you're going to be in a call or talking with your friends while gaming I don't recommend this headset, I've gotten comments about my microphone quality not being so good, I could say the microphone wasn't so clear and not good quality, and the mute button sometimes barley mutes you so your friends can hear you. But if you're going to be using this headset for purposes other than gaming I highly recommend this headset

    I highly recommend this headset to anyone who is okay with a wired headset. The audio quality is amazing in-game as well as the mic itself. Another huge plus for this mic is that it is extremely comfortable, I’ve had game sessions that last up to 8 hours and not once has it gotten uncomfortable, compared to my $125 headset that is also not noise cancelling at all compared to this headset. The one issue I have had with this mic is that sometimes the replaceable wire disconnects and causes only one side of the headset to work- however it is an easy fix and doesn’t happen too often so it is a very minor flaw.

    Fits great and still comfortable after 9hrs of hunting animals in rd2. Dropped twice from animals and still works seamlessly. A really immersive experience with the sound quality and noise-cancelling dogs/kids wife lol

    For the price if you’re looking for something that is both comfortable and sounds very nice you can’t do better in my opinion. I wanted something I could use with all my systems and most of the wireless options were either much pricier or you would need one for PS and one for Xbox. The cord isn’t long and just plugs in to the port on your controller so pretty easy to use too. Like the external controls on the ear cups as well. And they are super comfy too. Word to the wise though. Make sure you go into your system on the console and set volumes to max (or what’s max comfort for you) for the headphone port first because it’s set to 50% auto and no matter what you do the headset will sound awfully quiet.

    Bought this headset for an escape room I manage. Went with Turtle Beach headsets for the others but this one was better priced when I opened a new room and needed a 4th headset. It's way more comfortable than the other sets and I love I don't have to turn on/off or charge this headset (charging the others is annoying as is remembering they need to be powered off). My only knock on this headset is the volume is quite low. Now I know I'm not using these as intended but sometimes I wonder if it's even plug into the jack the volume is so low due to some people being quiet in the rooms. The other headsets still pick up a lot of audio even when people are whispering. A vocal group comes in and these are perfect so I'm sure one using these for personal use will love them.

    You get what you pay for and it's not a bad deal. This gets the job done and is super conveniently accessible for other game systems or phones. The finish on the outside is super matte and neat, the fabric ear supports are comfy and the adjustable head strap is almost unnoticeable. You can game or listen to music for quite some time without discomfort. I recommend it to anybody that is looking for something affordable and is using it as a stepping stone for something greater down the line. Definitely see this lasting a long time, but only time will tell.
