    Phenomenal

    Steelseries is my go to headset brand every time. I purchased their original “Arctis” line when it first released and have never looked back. For me, Arctis sets the standard for headset comfortability, ESPECIALLY for those who wear glasses and is always the biggest positive to owning the Steelseries line of headsets. The adjustable strap is also another great feature that prevents the headset from just resting on your head. While I’m not the biggest critique of sound profiles, I can state that the headset sounds good all around including voice chat and I have zero complaints. The microphone also is phenomenal and the biggest positive is its ability to filter out background noise and not pick up any unwanted audio. This will be my third headset since the Arctis line launched in 2018 so they have proved great on longevity and will last many years if taken care of.

    Connect and go. The best choice for your Xbox gaming experience. Lite weight so you can spend hours with it. Great sound quality and clear mic voice. The only thing I miss is a volume control separate for mic and audio.

    Great sound with xbox, only problem is if you use their sound (Sonar) and any game sound enhacers, the headphones sound like your in a echo chamber.

    My son loves these. They are very comfortable fit his head very well very durable. He has broke other headsets because they weren’t sturdy. This one is a lot stronger than some of the other brands. The sound is a lot better. It’s more clearer and

    Whether it’s YouTube videos, movies or gaming, these have been pretty good. They’re comfortable, long battery life, and switching to the dongle and Bluetooth are as easy as clicking a button. I found audio presets on the app for both that I prefer and haven’t had the need to change it. One thing I could say is the bass doesn’t kick as much as I would like it to, but I have different headphones to remedy that issue. All in all, I’m happy with these.

    Returning these tomorrow. Had them for a few days. Sound is weak. They fit to loose on my ears. App has preset choices for sound. You have to use a desktop to personalize any sound adjustments. Just not worth the money for what you get. Bass is weak highs are just way too high. For $20 bucks more I got Turtle Beach 700 Gen 3’s. Let’s see how that goes!

    I bought this for my husband and it's the second time he got from the same brand. He is a big guy so he's picky with headsets as they make his ears or head hurt. He loves it and would buy it again after he's worn it out or if they come up with a newer version.

    SS, in my opinion, is the best in the business. There have been issues in the past with durability due to there single hinged yolk design. Ive never experienced this, but i baby any products over $100. The Nova 5 has a dual hinged yolk design, comforting those that have experienced durability issues in the past. This headset is extremly light weight with a slightly stronger clamping force than the 7x which i also like. I dont have to worry about the headset shifting if i turn my head fast. The cherry on top is being able to save parametric EQ’s to the headset for console players. A first at this price point. In fact, you would have to spend a minimum of $300 (looking at you astro a50x) and deal with cords to get the same convenience. Once word gets out about this headset, nothing up to $300 can touch it.
