    Overall, I love these headphones and were a major upgrade from my SADES. I purchased them recently, in-store, and have been using them since. It's also very convenient because you can connect them to your phone, or your computer. I like the game-chat adjustment knob as well.

    Everything is all around a decent quality, nothing it too outstanding. The comfortability & sound quality are pretty good actually. My one complaint is when I hook up the headset through USB to my PS4, at times the mic isn’t registered as being connected so I have to unplug it a few times until it fixes itself.

    Very good for it's price, it's comfortable, has nice audio and lighting effects. The only issue is the RGB software, where it's kind of difficult to use. I'd recommend SignalRGB for the software, but you can greatly customize the lighting by using steelseries.gg.

    Snug fit, 60% back ground noise reduction. Sound quality is good, you'll have to do a little tweaking with the software. Game to Chat control excellent. Take care the connection to the headset cannot take much abuse. Would I recommend these? I just bought my second. * May not be comfortable on larger heads. I give it a 4.5, but they dont offer that rating.

    These are no doubt the most comfortable brand of headphones ever for gaming. There is zero ear fatigue or pain, and the headband is just perfectly snug. Sound is on par with other high end sets at this price but the quality, LEDs and comfort blow everything else away.

    Amazing sound quality and the ability to tweak the sound further with a downloadable equalizer. Mic sounds crips and clear. Fits snug and doesn't bother the ears. Adjustability with the bungee strap could be better.

    This is a nice headphone that plugs into the xbox controller. the only problem I have is that Im deaf and wear hearing aids in both ears. this headphone give out feebacks on my hearing aid because it covers the whole ears. I have to slightly set it open so it doesnt cause my aids to feedback. overall its a good decent headphone for gaming xbox.

    Probably one of the most comfortable over the ear headset I have ever tried. Everyone I recommend these to, love them. They are light weight and very comfortable. A bit on the pricey side, they are well worth the money. But if you can get it on sale, it's a steal.

    Good headset for large heads

    I have a pretty large/broad head, and don't do well with any headphones that have more than a little clamp force. Case in point, Steelseries' own Arctis Pro, which has a metal headband, necessitated a return because I simply couldn't wear it for more than ten minutes without getting a headache. The Arctis 5, however, is all lightweight plastics - and holds up surprisingly well despite that. The drivers offer crisp sound, though not as amazing as the Pro, but this also costs half as much so sometimes you get what you pay for. Other than that, this has all the standard bells and whistles you've come to expect from these sorts of products - software to drive the customization of sounds and lighting, a good mic, mute switches, etc. Give this a try if you want a gaming headset but most gaming headsets hurt your head, you'll be glad you did.

    Super comfortable headphones and the mic and sound is great especially for the price. I looked at A LOT of different brands before going with these and I'm glad I did. I also really loved the chat/game audio dial, which I never even knew I needed until I got these lol

    I love it! Even my friends were convinced to get it once they saw and heard the features mine had. Sound quality is great and it’s so comfortable. Extremely light weight compared to other headsets I’ve had. The only headset I’ll use for gaming.

    I bought these for my son. He put them on to play his ps4, and I heard him say, “what is that” he is hearing sounds from his game he had never heard before. He only has had very cheap head phones. So he is very happy with these, and the price was not very expensive. Very happy!

    It’s great the ability to switch between more game audio and voice chat audio makes it very convenient and you can even change individual applications to be louder or quieter depending on which you choose

    I got these as a present for my son. He loves the fit and comfort while playing games for hours. Plus he says that he can immersed in the game loves the noise cancelling. A bit pricey but worth it he has had several other ones and complained about them . no complaints so far on these.

    I have enjoyed using this headset for the past couple of weeks! My Astro A40’s broke and I went with an option that was recommended by a friend. The sound quality is definitely there and the comfort is definitely there! I highly recommend these headphones for console players!!

    Amazing sound quality, both stereo sound and voice. When you speak with this your voice will be 100% clear. No downsides except for how I was slightly confused when I was trying to use it for the first time on pc. The headset comes with a dial that reads game on one side and chat on another. So, on your pc when you click on the sound icon, you will see two options from the headset: “game” and “chat”. There is literally no difference between the two in terms of quality. Im not sure what the purpose of this dial is. If you have the dial set for game then you have to select game when you click the sound icon. If you have the dial set for chat, you have to have the sound set to chat. Oops, I literally JUST thought: maybe having the dial set to chat enables you to chat? Idk, because on my ps4 I can chat regardless of what the dial is set to. Idk if its somehow different for pc. Haven’t tried, or I did and forgot :)

    The fit is pretty good, the ear cups definitely cut out the amount noise fairly well. Build feels quality retractable mic is decent, I wouldn't say it's broadcast quality but definitely more than adequate enough for game chat.

    These are probably the most comfortable headset I’ve ever used. I can use these for hours and not be bothered even when wearing my glasses. Sound is good and the Steelseries Engine software you can download allows you to customize the sound and lighting even more.
