    First pair I bought, the right side didn't work no matter what I tried. Best Buy was awesome about the return policy, and let me grab another pair to see if I'd have better luck. Second pair initially worked, but only after about a month, they are already not working overall. Missing sound and the mic doesn't pick up. Replacing them with some other headphones.

    One day Ill learn to not buy steel series. They are so flimsy and break so easy. Watch out it might break with a simple twist of the ear cup. 3rd pair of SteelSeries headsets had the same problem. Just dont buy steel series.

    Headphones worked ok for about 3 weeks. Now one side won't work at all. Not sure if this is a common issue with these or not. Wouldn't waste your money on these.
