    Had several issues with this headset. The Bluetooth refused to connect to anything. The mic was overly sensitive even after console adjustments. This was on ps5

    I very much dislike the audio scratches when playing music every time I go to adjust the mic settings in the software app it completely cancels my mic out in applications and gets me 5 different options to slide the microphone and headphones. I don’t want work by far the lowest quality headset I’ve bought for the price for the fact, I only used them as headphones and will occasionally use the mic over my stand mic.

    Nice multifunction headset with a sub-par app

    By far, my biggest complaint about this headset is the software that comes with it. I do not understand SteelSeries Sonar. Whenever I try to use it, it just causes my computer to output no audio whatsoever. I wouldn't care about Sonar, if it wasn't for the fact that Engine keeps telling me I should configure the headset in Sonar whenever I open the settings. Other than Sonar being generally horrendous, I do quite like this headset. The USB connector is rather wide and blocks off some of the ports on my laptop, but this is countered by the fact that they've included an extension cable to handle that exact scenario. Having the SteelSeries app on my phone is also nice, since I don't always want to Alt-Tab out of what I'm doing to configure the settings on the headset. The build quality is nice, and I don't feel like the headset is going to come apart around my ears. It's also pretty comfortable. The microphone is easy to bring out and stow, and I like that the mute button is large so I don't have to search for it. The fact that the headset doesn't shut down when charging is also nice, because with such a long battery life I'm bound to forget to charge it at some point. I think my favorite part about this headset is that it works with Bluetooth. I keep the 2.4g connection on my laptop, but I like that with a single button press I can switch it over to be paired with my Steam Deck over Bluetooth. The Steam Deck isn't exactly bursting with USB-C ports, and I really like that this headset can still work with it even when I'm charging the device. Overall, I feel like thanks to that feature this is one of the most versatile gaming headsets I've ever used. I would absolutely recommend this headset. However, if you do buy it, only use SteelSeries Engine. Do not bother with SteelSeries Sonar. Do not even install that app. It's horrendous and will just give you a headache. Otherwise, this is absolutely a very good gaming headset.

    I have used these Bluetooth cans now for about two weeks and while they are not the best sound quality they definitely are not the worst and though I would not use them as "my" primary headphones, they are perfect for the kids. Over my two week usage, they never disconnected once and only needed one firmware update using the companion app. The build quality of these cans are better than most and I can see them lasting a very long time with just a little care. I love that you can mix 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connections so it really is the best of both worlds. Both of the frequencies are rock solid in my experience. I would have liked a little more bass and a little more trouble as these cans seem to be driven by the mids and are very biased towards. It's fine when gaming, but when listening to music I feel that there's something lost when compared to my much higher end Bluetooth cans. But to be fair, you can't compare these to those. My high-end ones are the best of the best with a price that reflects that. These are great alternative for good enough.

    For the price you’d expect something more ‘premium.’ Cheap mic and you constantly hear yourself as you speak. The headset sort of replays your voice for you as you speak.

    I ended up returning these. I have had steel series headsets in the past and the quality of these just do not compare. I suggest spending your money on a better pair. These feel and sound cheap.
