Customer Ratings & Reviews

By far the best out there! I love how I feel like I’m in the game with these on. I hear everything!! The battery life is amazing and what makes it better is that it has a swappable battery. Legit can go almost 2 days of gaming before I’m out but even then the other battery is already charged so you have a limitless headset.

Huge upgrade from the arctic pro wireless which never fit me. These are much more comfortable and sound better as well. They are expensive but you get what you pay for.

SteelSeries makes s great gaming headset I've never had a problem.great sound ,comfort

I am a bit disappointed in these given the price, but they work well and are good quality. The headset is a bit tighter and less comfortable than the Arctis 7 i had before (I have a large head) and the ear pads are made of a stiffer and less comfortable material than the Arctis 7. I tried some Wicked Cushions ear pads I got from Amazon, and they are a bit better but the headphones are still less comfortable than the Arctis 7. Also, one of the ear pads is constantly coming loose and has to be clicked back in, and clicking them in is a big hassle. The sound quality is good but I personally don't detect any improvement over the Arctis 7, with either games or movies/shows. I was excited by the fact these have two inputs for audio sources, hoping i could easily swap between my xbox and ps5, for example, but this feature is a big let down. You can't easily switch between the 2 audio sources: there is no way to do this using the headset itself, and the receiver doesnt have a dedicated button to switch sources: you have to go into receiver's menu, select switch sources, select the new source, and then confirm the new source, and the last part is buggy so almost half the time it doesnt "take" the new sourced. Overall it would be much easier to just unplug one source and plug it in a new source, but doing that is complicated by the fact that one input is dedicated for an xbox and the other is for other items. One nice feature of this device that may not be obvious from the description is that you can plug in any audio source with a 3.5 line into the input and then have the headphones transmit that. So for example, you can plug a 3.5 from your TV into the receiver, and plug the USB into a power source, and then the headphones will output the TV audio. This feature works great. (The arctis 7 could also do this, btw.) The "would you recommend this item" question is hard in this case. I clicked yes because the product does work well, but it is disappointing in a lot of ways given the price so it is a hesitant thumbs up from me.

Using for an Xbox Series X and a gaming laptop. They work seamlessly with the Xbox using the hub controller. I utilize the Bluetooth connection with the laptop and no issues either. I also use them for noise canceling headphones to listen to music and they get the job done, not as good as my Bose QC2s but I’d rather not travel with two sets of headphones. Good styling, no obnoxious colors, designs or lights.

Great sound and love the fact that I can change the battery in just seconds. Really easy to switch from pc to xbox which is the main reason. Only flaw for me is that its on ear instead of over ear which hurts after extended use.

Best gaming headset I’ve had. Noise cancellation works really well. The volume/battery charging hub is great, you just swap batteries around when it’s time. No sitting and waiting for a headset to charge.

I have only had them for a day but sound is amazing right out of the box. I lurchased the xbox version so that I can use them for my PS5 as well. Sound is amazing on both consoles. Very comfortable i used them for about 3 hours last night and I wear glasses with no issues. My only minor issue is with the volume wheel on the headset its kind of slick it would have been nice to have a little more grip bit thats very minor.

Price is very steep for what you get. Sound quality of games is good, mic quality is not. You will sound very nasally to others. Was very to setup and being wireless is great. Having a extra battery charging in the dock is wonderful and is just a swap away. The main reason i cant recommend these is that there are 2 pea sized protrusions in the earcups for the ANC that constantly rubbed against my ears no matter what i did.

Probably one of the best wireless headsets I have used in awhile so good that I bought 2 of them lol one for my consoles and one for my gaming pc The pc app can be a little wonky at times but other then that i love it also like having a extra fully charged battery at the ready at all times. I did have to change the ear pads with a set of wicked cushions so I did not have to feel the little nub in the left ear cup other then that great headset I have not had a single issues with it.

Sounds are crisp Battery replacement is great Fits great

Probably the best headset i have ever bought i love the ease of never having to have a cable plugged in. I also love the quality of this headset the sound is great i even wear them to the gym just cause of how good it sounds.

Let’s get this out of the way: I wanted to love this headset. I wanted to feel like a tech god while seamlessly switching between slaying on Xbox and pretending to answer work calls on my Mac. Instead, I got a plastic tiara disguised as premium tech. Sound & Mic • Sound? Meh. Like ordering a filet mignon and getting a microwaved meatloaf. • Mic? Imagine yelling through a soup can tied to a string. At $350, I expected James Earl Jones, not static and sadness. • ANC? It’s there in spirit, but I think it’s just holding my hand while noise continues to destroy my soul. • Transparency mode? Strangely decent, like that one coworker who actually responds to emails. Comfort • The ear pads are tighter than my jeans after Thanksgiving. I have a small head and still felt like my ears were being punished for something. • Aftermarket pads supposedly fix it, but I haven’t gotten that far in my emotional healing process. • Also: they’re heavy. If they fall off your head (which they will), pray you don't have hardwood floors, cause they gonna break. Features • Bluetooth + 2.4GHz at once? YES. This is the one thing that made me feel like I was living in the future. • Switching between Xbox and Mac is buttery smooth. Unlike literally everything else. • Retractable mic is cute, but I’d rather have good audio than a magic disappearing act. Software (aka The Villain of This Story) • You have to install their software to update the headset. • Except… surprise! On Mac, it doesn’t work. At all. Ever. It recognizes my headset about as often as my dog recognizes my authority. • The Sonar app — the main reason I bought this — isn’t even included in the Mac version. It’s like buying a car and learning the steering wheel is extra. Final Verdict • Would I buy this again for $350? No. I’d rather invest in socks — at least they don’t gaslight me. • At under $200? Eh. If you’re an Xbox user who doesn’t mind bad software and a mid mic, it’s… okay. Cool idea. Mediocre execution. Amazing at pretending to be worth $350. Mac users — run. Everyone else — only buy if it’s on sale and you’re emotionally prepared.

Best headset I’ve tried to date the ability to hotswap batteries is amazing for long gaming sessions and the Bluetooth signal is very strong over distance. Not to mention it’s very comfortable and has amazing sound quality. The only downside is it’s noise canceling mic struggles with my fan more than some of my other headsets

Excellent headset! The fit is very comfortable and the sound is outstanding! This headset is by far the best I have owned and I have owned many headsets through the years. I highly recommend!

Would recomend before purchasing playstation only steel series. You’re able to use xbox & everyother console, & connected simultaneously too with control box. Still trying to figure out box settings tho but quality outta the box is great. The noise cancellation does block noise around you I have a loud construction fan behind me lol & it blocks out majority of noise especially when gaming or listening to music. People will have to tap youre shoulder to get ur attention. The ear muffs feel good & not to loose, adjustable in length only for bigger heads kinda gotta pry em open, kinda lol but feel secured. Idk about using with glasses you could probably feel ur pulse from ur temple from the firmnes but the sound is great 10/10. Crispy

Amazing surround sound and great overall performance. It’s great for everyday use and specific tasks due to the built in EQ Features. Easy to use and amazing quality

This headset offers a great feature set and although the step down is a better value if you only have one system or systems in separate places, if you have all of your systems sitting below or next to one monitor or tv, the dock functionality works very well and it provides considerable value. The headset is comfortable and the sound itself is pretty good. While using on PC, definitely set up Steel Series Sonar. It’s surround sound software is actually pretty good, unlike most proprietary surround sound software from other brands.

Battery lasts pretty much all day, and once it’s low you just swap to the other one. Mic is usually clear, but some settings will have to be changed for best results. There is an issue with what sounds like static when on Bluetooth, but only if there’s no sound playing. Other reviews mention this but it doesn’t seem to affect all units. All in all, a decent headset but I’d wait for a sale of some sort.

Headset is good but software was a little buggy not working and had to reinstall it every time you restarted or turned off the computer but the head set is perfect never have to charge it ever just a simple battery swap that takes just as long as if you were going to look for the cable to charge it. its the best wireless headset on the market if your someone that hates charging your wireless headset mic is good as well not perfect but useable
