    The headset itself? Great. The cord is decently long, the sound quality is great, and the mic is really clear. The proprietary software you need inorder to use the headset? Terrible. It does not save all of your settings when you power off your pc so i have to double check my settings every single time i join a party or do anything on my computer when i want to use the headset

    Solid Headset when on sale...

    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.

    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.

    I love this product, but the main issue I had with it is that one side of the speakers would give out from time to time, there was no way to really fix it because it is wired, not Bluetooth. It did have good sound quality for the price

    I use this headset with my PS5 and it works great. The sound is clear and makes games more enjoyable. It’s comfortable to wear, even for long gaming sessions. For the price, this headset is a good choice and easy to use.

    Great headset and some of the best headphones I’ve ever used in general, makes games sound awesome and can hear everything, only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because a common issue with steel series is the cable that connects the headset to the pc spins together and weakens it after a while, after that happened to mine I bought the wireless version and have had 0 issues with it

    I was looking to change my streaming setup audio wise, I didn’t have proper space to keep using a cardioid mic and audio interface and my studio monitors were too tight for long gaming sessions. These were the perfect switch for me. The ear cups sit OVER my ears and have a breathable cloth material, now I don’t get headaches and such from long game nights. Also the adjustable headband is very comfy and cool. I thought it was a hard band like cheap headphones I got before but the band is also cloth and elastic, meaning they bend a bit for the perfect fit. Microphone also sounds great for what it’s worth. Audio quality wise a very slight downgrade from my SM57 mic but, again, barely. Settings can be tweaked with proprietary software you download off of their website.

    Bought as a Xmas gift, and they used it immediately! Easy instructions, very comfortable fit, adjustable band will sit on your head then the headphones themselves. The mute and volume adjuster is on the left ear of the headphones super convenient rather than having them on an attached cord. Can wear then for a while without feeling ear fatigue.
