    The headset itself is great with quality audio. However mic audio quality could use some improvement to sound a little more natural (I use it on PC mainly). There is optional software you can install on your PC to set your own optimization but it does seem a bit cluttered but gets the job done. Overall you can take it out of the box and plug and play without any issues, great value.

    A little small on the ears compared to my last arctic. I also wish I did not have to plug a receiver into the Xbox. Would also be nice to connect to 2.4gH and Bluetooth simultaneously. All in all an average product, and would have stuck with my earlier series arctic I bought about 4 years ago if I didn’t accidentally crack them.

    Excellent headphones. Steelseries really gave us a great value for money headset. Mic sounds very clear. Perfect for gamers who want 300 dollars worth of headphones just for cheaper.

    Overall a solid choice for a headset, the range is great for when you have to go into another area of the house (pending how large your place is). Easy swap from Bluetooth to 2.4 pairing mode.
