Smooth!

Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5These are pretty great if you dont want to spend the money on the arctis 7 or other versions, works pretty much with anything, I'm using them for pc and ps4. Battery life is more than 20 hours as well I got close to 24 hours on a single charge and I have the volume up pretty loud too, audio in general is fantastic they use the same drivers as the arctis 7. I did swap the earpads with some from wicked cushions nothing wrong with the ones they come with though!

Nice no bull#### wireless headphones.
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pretty good and universal headphones. Nice design allows them to be worn publicly and not looking like a total gamer. Sound quality? Nice bass, mid and high frequencies are.. fine for a gaming headset, anyway if you are an audiophile, you'd get smth for your preamp, not some wireless gaming set. Very comfortable fit. Hold nicely on the head and not really tight. Mic quality is OK. Not the best, but people will hear you roar. Also work if I plug the wireless adapter to my phone (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra). I'd recommend there over Corsair or Razor for similar price. Cons? No rgb, but hey who needs that crap anyway.

Great Headset for Nintendo Switch!
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros: This headset is very comfortable and light even during extended gaming. They block out or muffle most external sound. You can customize a lot of settings such as the equalizer, dynamic range compression, and mic sidetone using the free Steelseries Engine software on a computer. It will connect directly into the USB-c port where you put the Nintendo Switch charging cable. And it has the wire to plug into the USB port on the Switch dock as well. Cons: The mic needs to be close to the mouth to pick up your voice loud enough for the sidetone, which allows you to hear yourself through the headset since it is noise cancelling. The mic will then pick up the sound of breathing out of your nose as well. The ear cups also make it feel as if your ears aren't "breathing," and ears tend to get very warm. Overall I really like them, especially cause they have great sound quality and settings, and they pair perfectly with the Nintendo Switch!

Playstation 5 Ready

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This is my first time trying Steel Series and I must say I am very pleased with these headsets. I've been using the Sony Platinum Wireless Gold for years but I wanted to try something new for The Playstation 5. I did my research on Steel Series and many people said Steel Series make some the best gaming headsets. I tried these out and they blew me away. I would recommend these to anyone who want a good set gaming headsets.

Amazing Wireless headphones
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5If you have a Nintendo switch, this is pretty much the only officially supported option but they are fantastic. Comfortable and I appreciate they didn't choose the ski head band for adjustment and went with the traditional adjustment. Extremely flexible and no way that I see to break these. They also work with the STeelSeries Software for adjustments but they are USB Type c connection. Just plug into the USB Type C connection on your tablet, android phone, windows PC etc and it just works and sounds great. The ONLY COMPLIANT I have is WHY SteelSeries did you make these charge on MICRO USB and not on USB TYPE C? The Switch is USB type C, the dongle is USB type C? Please do an updated version that makes sense Besides that these are great options and for $100 with the sound and build quality you cant beat them. Go get one you will be happy you did

No warranty
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I give this product 4 stars because this is my third time purchasing these headphones and for $99 they don’t have any warranty or extended coverage for them. The first time I bought they work perfectly but my son broke them so I had to replace them. The second time I purchased they stop working. My son couldn’t here the sound from his Nintendo switch. I haven’t had any problem out of the 3rd pair but I hope they work with no defects.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Is there a very nice set of headphones. I was having trouble finding a set of headphones that would link up with the Nintendo Switch without it being a cord. The clarity and the quietness is superb. Highly recommend.
