Great headset with cool features
I love the headset because it is very light, has bluetooth and 2.4 connections. The 2.4 dongle has a great shape for using it with my Rog Ally and Switch. You may need a usb c extender if you have a case on your Ally or Switch. With the 2.4 connection there is no latency as far as I can tell. The bluetooth connection is good for connecting to your phone or listening to music. The headset shows multiple connections on my pc for media, chat, gaming, etc. This way I can changing sound settings for each one separately. Another cool feature is you can use the app and control settings in the headset using your phone. The app has presets for many games. I think its the best headset for the money right now and SteelSeries has had gaming headset of the year before.
