    High quality, low cost gaming headphones

    These are low cost high-quality gaming headphones. The hidden but extendable microphone is a wonderful touch. One that I was not expecting but pleasantly surprised by. The base seems appropriate and not washed out, but not overpowering either. Pies are not tiny at all and speech comes through perfectly. I love the fact that they are wireless and seem to work quite well even when 15 to 20 feet away from their receiver. If you need a set of headphones for your computer, these will definitely fit that bill.

    lightweight. Very comfortable for long-term use. Great sound. The only con I have is the dongle is kind of weird and I feel like if you bump it, it could break

    NICE DESIGN- BUT NOT STABLE CONNECTION

    I had a chance to play around with these and use them for my laptop for various uses from multimedia to WI-FI calling, video chats and dictation software. QUALITY-COMFORT The quality of the headphones seems to be very durable and has a nice weight to it. The Headband part seems flexible and sturdy, the cloth strap underneath makes for a secure and comfortable fit. I have not come across another strap design and it seems like it would be uncomfortable but it was snug and secure. The fabric on the earcups is very soft and plush, it sits comfortable and the design of the band make it so that they do not pinch. I did not suffer ear fatigue or hot/sweaty sensation after a few hours. The retractable MIC is very nice and it actually works without having to pull out the MIC. It is activated as soon as you turn on the headphones and connect. The quality of the MIC isn't muffled and the reproduced sound is overall good. When gaming I use the extension on the MIC and it does a better job of picking up the sound but you get a little distorted effect if too close to your mouth. The supplied volume wheel is a nice throwback touch, it reduces the fumbling of touch panel controls on the side of the headphones. The wheel makes it easy tyo quickly lower and raise the volume without incident. CONNECTION This is where the deduction of stars occurs for me. The connection via 2.4 suffers for me, there are times i switch media and the sound is distorted and it takes about 5-10seconds for it to stabilize again. This happens everytime i switch media and it also happens when i initially connect the headphones too. I switch over to bluetooth and the connection is better but it always takes a few taps of the switch to get it to connect. I wish it had an auto connect feature when a paired device is turned on within proximity of the headphones but it does not. OVERALL The whole point is the sound and connection and if that is a hassle and does not provide a clear connection everytime then this is a big minus.

    Great durability and comfort, sometimes I forget I’m wearing them, too tier soundproofing and sounds system, Bluetooth functionality gives you the freedom to roam around the house in between matches to do chores etc.

    This is the second Steele series I’ve used. I have the corded version at home and these wireless one at work and they both perform perfectly. Ear muffs are comfy, the adjustable elastic band makes long sessions a breeze. Battery life is more than I could ask for.

    Best Headphones for a Better Price

    Fantastic headphones, with awesome sound quality, great battery, and really good comfort. Coming from my HyperX Cloud II's, I was looking for something that continued the high quality sound, but was hoping for wireless fidelity. The Arctic Nova 5 met all the things I was looking for and then some, giving me a really long lasting battery and excellent sound quality without sacrificing anything. The build quality seems well put together and I like the fact that you can replace the elastic headband when it wears out... which they all do eventually. The software is easy to use and even gives you some pre-configured profiles for customizing the equalizer to better suit the games you are playing. Overall, I would highly recommend these headphones over much more expensive sets. Save your money and enjoy these!

    I have only ever used 2 other headsets prior to this one and it was a cheap turtle beach for like 20 bucks and then I went to the Astro A10 1st Gen. By far this is the best headset I have used in both quality of the material, how good I sound to my friends, and comfortability. If you have a little bit of a higher budget to go over the 100 dollar range I would HIGHLY recommended these

    I don't know too much about gaming headset, but since I found Steelseries product they provide a good product and software quality and easy to use, especially with this headphone they are light and compact, the bass sounds pretty good you can also use on your phone and personalize the audio with an app.

    Great sounding headset but comfort is hit or miss

    This is a fantastic sounding headset with software to allow you to change EQ settings whether on your PC or mobile app. Mic sounded great from what feedback I got in games I played. Unfortunately comfort may be hit or miss. Personally for me the headset felt good on my head but the cups didn't feel right so had to return them for something with more of a breathable material. Overall I would recommend this headset for the quality and performance but keep in mind if you have specific fabrics or material that are not comfortable for you. This will either be the perfect headset for you or fall short of perfection due to comfort.

    Excellent quality! Sound is good, works great with lots of my favorite games like Marvel Rivals, LoL, Elden Ring, etc. Comms are perfect, love the retractable Mic and the wireless feature. I can move throughout my whole house and don't have any interrupted connection to the VC. 10/10

    Love this headset! Sound is great and super comfortable. I like that the microphone tucks away and the style of the headset is minimalistic. Doesn’t scream “gaming”
