Customer Ratings & Reviews

There is one flaw however in my opinion. While it may just be rhst have big ears or something, indont find this headset to be the most comfortable. In thst regard id say the astro a50s take the cake. BUT i would still reccomend this over any astro any day of the week! The audio is much better and has some serious bass. Not to mention as far as features go, this thing is packed. Bluetooth connectivity to your phone, and doesnt look to gamer-ish do you can actually take it out of the house. Features noise canceling and transparency mode. Has 2 ports for your (console of choice) and your pc. Comes with an additional battery, no more dead headsets, just hotswap your battery and youre good to go. Genuinely just one of the nicest headsets ive ever owned

Pros - clear audio quality - cross-console connectivity - sturdier build (vs other Steelseries) - 2 batteries, essentially having no charging time - connects to phone and console at start up Cons - no dedicated volume rocker for Bluetooth when console/PC connected - only SBC Bluetooth codec support - slippery at times (atleast on my head) - subpar mic quality - turn off headset then turn off Bluetooth separately every time

Works great. Good audio quality, and comfortable. Only complaint is the price

Amazing headset, make sure to download the steel series GG software to customize it (PC only) the configuration that you put on app would not transfer over Xbox or PlayStation, but they do have pre sets in the little consul it came with. I do recommend buy a set of ear pads because the ones that came with them are not that good.

It's ok. For the money I expected a bit more. Sounds good, batteries are not easy to get in and out of headset or the charger. The spun metal discs on each ear when touched feel weird, don't like. Headset itself feels nice in my head if not a bit compressed. And I have a narrow head. But feels comfortable I guess to point you don't realize they are on. Xbox doesn't like them, still haven't figured out what to do. Sometimes people can hear me other times they hear an echo of themselves requiring me to switch to my cheap razor. Comfort is decent, sounds good, options are nice as is the wireless range and swapping of batteries for long sessions. Battery life could be better. Mic is terrible. Flimsy thing that won't stay where you want it so as you move it flops around until people say they can't hear you.

These headphones were the one of the coolest audio experiences I've had when I first plugged them in. Then the first update from SteelSeries' GG software came. I installed it because it forced me to. From that point on I had to pause the songs from my phone multiple times to get the audio to suddenly work right again. If I didn't do it, the audio was harsh, overly bright and missing the lower frequencies entirely. Then another update came, and forced me to update. This update didn't appear to change anything until I went to play the following day. Now the headset doesn't get any audio except for Bluetooth. The headset went from being amazing to unusable in under 72 hours seemingly from updates that SteelSeries forced. Now the headset is sold out everywhere and backordered. I am not happy. For those wondering why I still gave it a 3 star, it's because I would have given it a 5 star and a review that would have gushed about how amazing they were had this not happened. The sound quality is quality is about on par with my Sony WH-1000XM4's, though the soundstage is naturally wider even before using the SONAR system. The build quality of the headset and DAC are right where they should be for the price. The fact that I can have my phone playing music through Bluetooth while the game audio from my computer is also playing is amazing and I'm not sure why nobody else is doing this with their headsets. I love that the headset makes it so the Bluetooth audio is stereo even when the game audio is using SONAR. Speaking of SONAR, the software is really what makes this headset shine (before they ruined it) though. I usually avoid fake surround sound and just get really good stereo open back headphones because it usually makes everything sound echoey and fake, but SONAR has so much tuning ability at your fingertips that you can really make anything sound the way you want with these. The detail is there for someone looking to use these for just competitive games, but you can slam the immersion slider and suddenly games like Red Dead 2 or Elden Ring sound like they are actually around you, expansive, open, amazing. I am so disappointed that my headset is having issues, it was definitely going to be my new go to for gaming audio. I will be returning it if they do not fix this by the time my return period comes to an end.

This headset has served me well in the past 2-3 years and i expect it to continue for another 3+ years. Crisp clear audio, exceptional microphone clarity. worth every penny.

only had them a few days but theybare great. nice design good quality and the sound is pretty great. haven’t really messed with any settings yet but i’d say they are the best headset i’ve ever owned. 100% recommend

Comfortable and high quality sound blocks out external noise

Love these, great sound, comfortable can switch between Xbox and pc easily

Great gaming headset. Solidly built and comfortable to wear.

Had these for a few days now and I am very impressed with the build quality. I use them on an xbox and they are a big step up from anything I have used in the past. Great localization during first person shooters. Bass in good and volume is louder than anything else I have used as well. I do wish there was a way to control the dac from the controller but once set you shouldn’t have to mess with it much. You get what you pay for with build quality so I’m good with the purchase.

I liked the fact that theyre comfortable for short periods of time they get kinda uncomfortable after a while and hot. The sound is superb and the mids highs and lows balance eachother out. The hearthrough with the microphone is perfect although you cannot really adjust the siund at leadt specifically the surround sound without a pc to tune it to/with. Other than that these are extremely excellent headsets.

When it comes to gaming headphones, Steelseries is the BEST series (my opinion). Arctis Nova Pro Wireless are nothing short of superior! Want the best? Look no further. Ease of connectivity to my Xbox Series X, excellent 360° sound quality, look great, feel great and yes... Expensive! Worth every penny and not regretting my purchase at all. See and hear for yourself!

Comfortable, sturdy, with great sound even on xbox!

Best headset I've had. I've tried many different headsets for the Xbox series x. Turtle beach, trition, razer and few others and this is by far the best sounding and just best feel. The ear piece is a little small if you have big ears otherwise it's amazing.

Absolutely phenomenal headphones. Being able to connect to the wireless base AND connect to bluetooth, with both sounds merging/overlapping, is honestly a game-changer. I can game on my PC, hear my cell ring and take the call, still hearing the game sound while also hearing whoever is on the phone. I will never be able to go back to any other headphones.

Sounds good, no better than my Astro A50’s. I returned them due to them squeezing around my ears and making my head hurt. The extra battery on charge is great because they die pretty quickly so you will definitely be needing the second one. The active noise control didn’t work very well, I could hear everything in my house even with it maxed out. I didn’t find setting up the eq very intuitive, and there are no presets for games so you just have to play with it until you get it how you like it. The best option for sound isn’t even available for use on console, so you lose the best sound options if your not playing on pc. Good but not great, I’m waiting on the Astro A50 x’s to come back into stock and I’m gonna get them.

Amazing headphones, I wouldn't recommend getting them for their ANC, but otherwise, the headphones have outstanding sound quality.

I bought mine directly from the Steelseries website when it first came out. It worked great for a couple years but software issues were recurring, though I was always able to fix them. Today it was working fine before lunch, after waking from sleep after lunch the Sonar app fails to recognize any devices at all. I dont know if it is the Sonar app itself or the headphone base station, but it would be easier to workaround if not for the fact that this thing relies 100% on their app to function at all. So now even if this isnt a hardware issue my device is effectively bricked either way. Unlike past software bugs this one seems unfixable, but do yourself a favor and buy a simple headset that works plug and play like they all used to, without all the stupid gimmicks and features that force us to rely on buggy apps and logins just to use a peripheral. At this point Im going back to standard non-RGB, firmware-only/app free, peripherals. I definitely wont be buying anything from SteelSeries either. Be warned.
