Kind of hard set up but are great head phones. They fit very comfortable and have lasted over a year now.

Amazing product for its price! Easy setup, great sound, nice mic, and very comfortable. RGB is a great addition too, if you're into that.

I loved the minimal design about these headphones but the one problem i had was the length of the cable for it. The cable is just too long and gets tangled to easily. I also had the problem where the knob to switch between chat and game audio was too loose and would sometimes turn on its own. Other than those two complaints this is an amazing product. Great audio, the microphone was good and the software was easy to navigate and customizable. If you are on a budget and want something for you as your first headphones, go with these.

These headphones are great for the price. The decision to have cables that de attach is amazing as I have had so many headphones fail from faulty cables. The sound quality on these are also top notch beating the razor tournament headphones I use to have. It is very easy to hear footsteps in games like Apex which definitely results in a competitive advantage. That along with adjustable volume for chat/game on the fly and usb/aux options make this a no-brainer buy in my opinion.

First high-end gaming headset that I’ve owned and definitely set the bar pretty high. Easy plug & play and the sound is unbelievable. Clear, crisp, and pretty good on the bass too. Great for competitive gaming and the occasional jam-session while editing. The mix-amp that it comes with lets you easily set the mix of game & voice levels. Simple knob to tune out the boys screaming for a rez, or to maximize the sound of the game. Definitely recommend.
P.S. the rgb on the sides of the headset are pretty cool and easily customizeable.

I have had these since May of this year (8 months). Never really could find a good pair of gaming headphones I really liked until these. They are super comfortable and soft around the ears. They are also really breathable and light. The sound quality is high tier but I seam to think most middle to high end headsets sound somewhat all similar. But I would never buy a different brand of headphones other than SteelSeries. I would suggest these headphone to anyone. You will not be disappointed I swear:)

Pros :
- Design is very nice, great build quality
- Mic is good (too good, very sensitive)
- Cable length is very appreciated
Cons :
- Heavy
- Not really meant for consoles (adapter included, not the best)
- SteelSeries Software can be quite complicated
Overall the headset was nice and comfortable but not for me, I couldn't get it too sound how I wanted and it's quite heavy. I liked the cable length and on ear mute button. However I like to use my headset for music too and this didn't really work. It is a "Gaming" headset so for that reason it does deserve 4 stars.

pros:
* the mixing dial is novel and fun
* the sound quality is good; I've been a fan of hyperX headsets for several years and this sounds n just as good as any of them
* mic quality is fine
*super comfortable, I have big ears and can wear them for hours
cons:
*they don't come with extra earpads if you find them uncomfortable
* not sure if this is intended or not, but I had to plug the 3.5mm jack into the dial cable and the main headset cable to make this work with my pc. reddit says this is a common issue!

This headset is a good value for the price. It’s comfortable for long use. I haven’t used it for gaming just for online meetings. The microphone is much more clear than any Bluetooth set I’ve tried before. The only downside is the cable gets twisted very easily and it has an in-line fader which does not stay on your desk if you move at all. When this happens the fader often moves and you can’t hear the chat. Other than this I’ve been happy with the purchase.

Quality is really good, been seeing a lot of Steel series and thought I'd give them a try, they're very good for when I'm playing a racing game and want my music or playing stealth but most importantly, it's almost illegal on how well allows me to tell which direction my enemies are coming from. But every headset is with its flaws. Starting off small, they use a special type of cord, I have a box of different ones already, they just added one to it. There's a knob that's optional to control audio between game audio and chat audio, but I personally like it, some may not. The mic is retractable and I have fears of the longevity of that, but it actually feels reliable and sturdy. On the headband there's this almost non adjustable band so if I have my braids up above my head I don't think it'll fit comfortably but with the quality, of the item and sound, worth it. The headphones actually turn so they will always sit flush on your desk. 5/5 but if it was of ten I'd give it a 9/10 solely because they use a special cord and I already have a box dedicated to different ones. This item really was the decider for me to plan to give their other products a try. In the pictures the cord from the knob goes into the conversion cord to 3.5mm jack. Put up to PS button for size reference.

works well - sound good, comfortable. i needed headphones that didn't interfere unpleasantly with ear piercings, so a lot of in-ear headphones didn't seem like an option. my son likes them so well he replaced the first pair after a couple years, so i thought i would purchase a pair for myself. good choice.
lighting is customizable for each ear, for those who enjoy such things.

This headset took me by surprise on quality and comfort. The sound is very clear and loud enough for certain games that need that sense of hearing. The comfort of the headset sits well on your head and I have yet to feel any discomfort playing with this headset for hours on end. Love the led colors that resonates from the left and right earbuds. I would recommend this product and brand to my friends and family.

For $100 you're getting a gaming headset that has a respectable soundstage and a great microphone. My friends have noticed an increase in quality when in game chat or discord. 7.1 surround sound is also helpful when playing FPS games giving you a slight edge when hearing footsteps. Would highly recommend for games both casual and competitive playstyles. Headset is comfortable but the ski goggle band might be hit or miss for you.
