As Described. Happy.
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.When I bought it, I was still skeptical, so I said that I would return it within 2 weeks if it didn't meet my expectations. Item is as described. I am satisfied with these headphones and not considering returning them. Keep in mind that these headphones are supposed to work best on your PC with supporting software (SteelSeries gg with Engine) and won't produce Hi-Res audio on your phone.

Best Choice for pc
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.So I tried Logitech, plantronics and Alienware headsets for pc. These are by far the best headphones, wired will always sound better over wireless. You don’t need the model with the DAC if you have a newer motherboard. I can hear footsteps and other movements in siege with no issue. Great with ambient games like control as well. Comfortable and mic is clear and crisp.

We like this headset!
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Looking for a headset for the pc only. These are actually great quality and the sound is loud. The cord is long and had a game/chat mixer attached Halfway. You have to download software to tweak audio and the sick rgb lights on the mic. You can customize the led for mic mute as well. All the volume controls are on headset along with the mute button. There comfortable and feel real sturdy. Overall really satisfied with my purchase.

Fantastic Headset
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I've owned the Astro A40 (2015 Edition) and the HyperX Cloud II, this is certainly better than both of those. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone playing on console because you won't be able to truly customize this the way SteelSeries intended. However, if you're on PC this is an easy buy. Don't listen to the negative reviews, if your headset comes intact then there is nothing to worry about. SteelSeries' software allows you to change nearly everything from mic volume, sound volume, RGB lighting, and more. Finally, I didn't see any review mention this or any pictures but the headset comes with a toggle for switching between volume and voice chat, I think this fairly important especially for those who have used this before, it's hard to buy a headset without it once you've used it.

Go buy studio headset
||Posted .Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.Very good sound quality. Bad durability ive had this for 1 year and 5 months the earcup broke and the cable conecting to the headphones is tearing. I was expecting a 200 dollar headset to last me at least 4 years. Not to mention the dial function of the wheel to separate game and party audio doesn’t work at all.

Sound Fine, It's Garbage
||Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.I'm happy with the way this sounds. But I'm no audiophile. the problem is durability. I'm adding a picture to several here that show the swivel mechanism pulling out of one of the ear cups. I purchased this in early September, returned it at the end of October because the cable frayed at the ear cup, exposing the wires to abrasion and stress. I'm not having that problem now because I'm carefully routing the cable in a gentle curve around the cup. The second headphone's ear cup failed toward the end of February. Extended warranties are supposed to be bad ideas, otherwise they loose money for the provider. I always get extended warranties for mice and headphones, and they tend to pay off. I prefer this headset's retractable mic, to plug in mics.

||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Got these for my son and he really likes them. He said the build quality is good, sound is great, comfortable and really likes being able to easily adjust chat volume. Colors are a good addition and works with his keyboard.

Q: QuestionMy son just bought these online for his ps4. He said the mic isn’t working other players aren’t able to hear him .
Asked by Kaleb.
- A:Answer The mute button is a little confusing. It has to be pushed in to be unmuted. I assumed it was the other way around. If he's already made sure it's unmuted, they may be defective. I had to return my first one because I was intermittently getting no sound output.

Q: QuestionMy microphone for my headset won't work anymore for no reason. I am not sure what to do and i would like some help. PLEASE.
Asked by Louis.
- A:Answer You will need to try un-installing the driver and SteelSeries Engine, and re-install them to fix the issue. I had the same issue and SteelSeries support had me do this to resolve the issue. Here are the steps they gave me: (do not have headphones connected to computer during this process) 1. Uninstall SS Engine. Go to "C:\ProgramFiles\SteelSeries\SteelSeriesEngine3\uninst.exe" in your file explorer and run that executable file. 2. Search "device manager" or "Control Panel" and navigate to the device manager. Find the headphones under the list of devices, right click, select properties, then Driver, then uninstall. 3. Go to the Steel Series website and re-install the latest SS engine 4. Connect the headphones back to the computer and update. Good Luck!

Q: QuestionAre these comfortable for someone that wears glasses? I can't find any information on this.....anyone have experience with long term wear with glasses on?
Asked by Lisa.
- A:Answer If it's anything like the 7 series, then they're sone of the most comfortable. Unfortunately though, no matter the headphones, comfort only lasts so long. Weird tip,but wearing a hat seems to help too.
