    Amazing! Very comfortable, and has good sound. The only downside is that it can break easily, so be careful.

    For price of $60, they are Solid BUY but if in same price, just get there ARCTIS PRIME headset for reasons below... Sound quality is great, especially if you drive this headset through 3.5mm to a computer Soundcard (i personally have the Sound blaster AE-7). Unfortunately RGB wont work tho. USB audio is fine, but a big noticeable drop off in volume & sound intensity. Cons: - The long term durability is questionable, certain hinges of headset make me warry will break in that area overtime. - Material of headset is easy to scratch & get finger print smudges etc Lastly, i despise SteelSeries blatant false marketing for calling most if not all there Nova Series headsets "High Fidelity". These are NOT high fidelity ( it has Speaker freq of 20-22000 hz) . Only there Nova Pro series , the Arctis Prime and my previous headset of there's Arctis Pro lineup, with ACTUAL speaker drivers that are 10-4000hz (an big noticeable clarity difference). Just because your Steelseries GG software can drive headsets with 24 bit/ 96hz audio format, dosent make them hi res....in my opinion.

    This headset is terrible. My previous headset died and I needed a replacement as my backup was packed from moving. My SteelSeries keyboard is good, so I figured I'd upgrade to a SteelSeries headset. Specs were reasonable for the price and it had OK reviews. WRONG. The $60 spent on this was not worth it. The issues: 1) It's wired through 2 separate cords. One cord is the USB to USB-C (PC plugin) and the second cord is either USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to audio pin connector. If anything happens to one cord, you have to replace or can't use the device. 2) No audio from one ear. Amazingly, the side the cords plugs into just (left)... doesn't output any audio. The right side works fine, but the left is completely dead. 3) The adjustable comfort-fit headstrap is literally child-sized (and no, my head isn't huge). Where most headsets will fit perfectly on the smallest size (pushed all the way in for sliders or the smallest band possible on models with the strap), I had to completely remove the band and it still doesn't feel right. Pros: 1) It's affordable (but seriously, put that cash towards something better - you deserve it) 2) It's lightweight (almost to the point of feeling cheap) 3) Sound quality was decent enough. On the side that worked, anyway. Unfortunately waited too long to actually test the product in the return window and SteelSeries support is terrible. How funny is it they actually have an automated support response for "Sound Working One Side Only"?

    I've had this headset for 2 years and is a wonderful steelseries product. I only just realized it has been 2 years but even still I think that kinda proves that it's been amazing since I use it almost daily. Very durable as well although I've been very careful with it. I also love the cable extension too

    Great sound for gaming, does not have noise cancelation which is the only downside if you dont want to hear your surroundings.

    The steel series is my favorite headset! It works great and the retractable make is an awesome feature. It doesn’t have to stay in a fixed location and can adjust it as needed. Sound quality is great. I like them so much I upgrade to the next best one with the wireless feature. It’s no wonder why pro esports gamers utilize steel series for the competitive scene

    Pretty good overall it works that’s all that matters and they can hear me clearly but I did have a hard time configuring it out on a laptop when I started using the software made for the headset. It was too much and didn’t really make sense to have it on and also have the laptop configuration on and so they kinda cancelled out each so I just ended up closing the software for the headset all together and used the one on my laptop to connect and now it’s fine.

    I use the headset for work and wear it all day. It is very comfortable. It is the first headset I have found which is truly noise canceling for all background noise.
