    Best headset ive purchased. Sound is amazing. Sonar tech amazing. Footsteps are clear. Spatial audio is amazing and the steelseries app functions and ez to use. Love the clearcast a.i tech for gamechat nd audio. Helps because my friend's mics are trash and it clears it up on my end.

    The audio quality sounds fantastic and I love that I can use my phone to change the presets for different games when gaming on a console instead of my PC. However there are a few too many issues I wasn't expecting to be dealing with when spending this kind of money on a pair of headphones that make it feel like it is still a beta product. - The third USB C port is XBOX ONLY, which was not clear to me from the description. This port doesn't work for PC, PS5, or Switch/Switch 2. - Bluetooth frequently disconnects and reconnects from my phone mid usage on both my iPad Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL. - There is an option to turn on both Bluetooth and the 2.4g connection when you first power it on, but no option to turn both off when you power it off. I don't want to power two separate connections off every time I turn off the headphones. - The desktop app constantly reminds you to set the EQ to flat to avoid distortion, even if it is already set to flat. - Headband CONSTANTLY slips off compared to my Arctis Nova Pro. Even the slightest motion will knock it out of alignment. The features are nice and the sound quality is amazing, but at $600 I can't recommend buying this until it receives a lot of quality of life/firmware updates to address these issues. If these get addressed I will update my review, but in this state you will be paying a premium to beta test a product for SteelSeries.

    The online reviews dont lie. From the first 20 minutes I put these on I was in total shock. Whether youre watching a movie or playing your favorite game, these make it THAT much better. I recommend these headphones HEAVILY if you play FPS games such as Rainbow Six Siege.

    Great headphones. Almost returned cause of sonar not sounding good for every game, but realized you don’t “need” to use sonar, for sound quality. After turning sonar off for ff xiv, it sounded amazing.

    To me these are the best gaming headphones you can get. Set up is easy, the quality of the headset is great as well. If you're looking for a premium headset and you have money to spare I would 100% recommend these. If not the Nova Pro's are amazing as well.

    Sounds great but, maybe not as great as the price would suggest. Sound-wise, it’s slightly better vs headsets. In this case, you’re essentially paying more for its extra quality of life options.

    These are the most expensive gaming headphones I have bought and I would definitely say they are worth it. They have everything I could ask for to include simultaneous Bluetooth, you can plug in three separate audio sources all at the same time, and great software. I second guessed my decision to purchase these.
