The best headset out there!!!
I love these headphones, they can be used for any system and PC. Price was also reasonable so if going to buy a new pair I would suggest going with Steelseries Arctis 3!!!

A nearly perfect headset
the arctis 3 is a solid wired/wireless headset. sound is pretty good (much better when using DTS:X on Xbox One/Series), and the comfort is fantastic. The real magic is the simultaneous bluetooth. being able to jump into Among Us on Switch or Call of Duty on Xbox and play with friends that are either on PC or PS4, but use Discord to game chat is incredible. My one gripe is the mute button—it’s not exactly clear. I’ll frequently think that I’m unmuted, but my mic activity in Discord doesn’t show anything at all. Toggling the mute button doesn’t fix it, what usually does is some sort of combination of closing the discord mobile app and re-syncing bluetooth. Other than that, this is a phenomenal headset. I came from an Arctis 1 Wireless (PS edition), which is a great headset as well. However, I moved over to Xbox as my primary platform for the new generation and needed something that would let me join PS parties from my phone so I could still chat with my PS friends. This does the job AND is more comfortable than the Arctis 1 because of the ski-goggle band it uses. If you can catch it on sale for $80, it’s undoubtedly worth the money. Otherwise, I’d wait to see if SteelSeries updates it with USB C or potentially updates their Artics 1 Wireless line to include simultaneous bluetooth. Pros: + Simultaneous Bluetooth + Comfort + retractable microphone Cons: - Micro USB (seriously?) - Not fully wireless (Arctis 9X does simultaneous BT, but only on Xbox) - feels like an incomplete package

LOOOOOOVVVVVE!!!!!
The headset didn't come with instructions, but I was surprised by how easy it was to set up. The sound is incredible. It is very clear and can get really loud. Bass wasn't even an issue. The headset itself is comfortable. I wear the headset for about 6 hours a day and my ears aren't sore. It is also easy to adjust the headset to fit your head. What really impresses me is the Bluetooth connectivity range, device compatibility, and the battery life. I had my headset connected to my phone and left my phone in one room. I walked all over my 1200 sq.ft. house (even to a different floor), and did lose any connection to my phone. The sound remained clear. I bought these to primarily use with my phone, but I am also able to use it with my work PC. I've using it back and forth between my iPhone and PC, and the transition between devices is smooth. The battery life of this headset is 28 hours... incredible. I've only had the headset for a few days and I haven't had to charge it yet. Unfortunately, I don't know what the charge time is for these yet, but the I assume an overnight charge will be more than sufficient.
