Impressive quality and worth the money
Over all it’s a very good headset and I’m likely going to purchase from this brand or newer model next time again. It’s very comfortable to use, easy as well. Only detail is that it needs to be connected to the phone first before you can access it through the app, would be nice if the app just recognized your specific headset from the get go instead of having you connect it manually each time. Still, it’s a minor issue considering the headset will be connected already before you want to adjust any of the settings. The mic is pretty good and haven’t had any issues with it so far and I’m heard pretty clearly. Functions well for music and gaming a like, surprised at how well the base works. The band does provide a tight fit that makes it so that it doesn’t move much even in frustrating games where you move a lot. Would totally recommend

Thoroughly Impressed!
I love this headset! I think it’s a great and affordable headset for gamers who don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on their setup. There are obviously better headset options out there, however this is a great headset for this price range! I love the feel of the headset. It’s comfortable and the support strap offers comfort and relieves pressure from the top of your head. The retractable mic is pretty dope too. I appreciate the addition to having the mic light up red when muted too so you never doubt whether you’re actually muted or not. The SteelSeries application is also really neat and I love being able to customize the levels of all audio in one place. The sound quality is great and I have zero complaints about it. I also am wildly impressed with the mic and how great recordings sound from it. I haven’t had the headset long enough for me to really have much say on the battery life, however, I have had it for over a week now and I have been using them for at least 1-2 hours almost every day since then and have yet to have to charge them nor have I gotten any implications that the battery is low. I will say my only complaint in that aspect is that the light when charging goes green between 50-100%, so there is not a way to really know for sure if they’re fully charged or not. The range is also fantastic! I am able to keep connection with my PC while walking about the house to say, run to the restroom, grab some water, go get a hoodie because I’m chilly, etc.Long story short, I think this headset exceeds its price tag and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good and affordable gaming headset!

Great Xbox Wireless light and comfy
Overall, an excellent wireless headset for the Xbox. It can be used with a phone, however I would not recommend using it for calls. The voice quality is fine , but for whatever reason you cannot get the volume of the mic where it needs to be for calls. It does well on the PC, although Iâve heard the mic isnât quite loud enough for that either. but I only had a problem with the mic when using it on my iPhone.Pluses :Good audio qualityBattery lifeComfortLight waitLight clamping forceGreat connectivity and wireless rangeThe audio quality is good for sure. Not quite as good as the higher priced A50s or some other higher priced headphones but Given its current price, the sound quality is very good. Definitely go into the software and create at least one custom equalization. Itâs worth taking the time to play around with equalization and tune them to your liking. I donât need to change equalization for each game. I find that a bit excessive, but I did find a measurable improvement when I created my own preferred equalization. Increasing the bas just a little bit and decreasing the high treble made them sound just the way I wanted it for gaming, TV, etc.Negatives:PC required to create custom equalizations. Why not on phone app?Too many per game built-in equalizations makes selection difficult. Thankfully custom is a separate selection.Ear pads are a bit scratchy (but still comfortable) but there are plenty of third parties out there and theyâre fairly easy to replace.These headsets replaced my cracking and broken turtle Beach 700 max. The sound quality (with equalization) is very similar in qualify but these are so much lighter and more comfortable! I prefer these 100% and hope they last a long time.You can even use them on the PlayStation 5 as well, which is kind of a bonus, although I donât switch back-and-forth. It would be great if they offered two dongles so that you could simultaneously use both but the cost increase would be an issue. It would be great if you could purchase a separate dongle and switch between two 2.4 sources but you canât have everything.Some people complain that you need an extension for the dongle. At first, I agreed with that, but when I realized I preferred to plug them into the back of the Xbox, I realized that using the cable and the dongle make a much more flexible solution.Despite any nitpicks, this is a great headset for any Xbox owner who wants to go wireless. The quality of the mic and the sound is very good. They connect fast and stay connected reliably. Theyâre light and comfortable and look like theyâre gonna last.

Great Product
Love this headset the range is quite far an you can increase the range even further but U will lose access to mic quality but range wise 10/10. Also fits perfect and the fact that it can change at any size is amazing good value for money. The when wired the cord is also a good length l, the sound quality is also quite goods as you can change multiple factors in the steelseries application. The buttons are very responsive especially the volume control wheel. Overall a very good quality headset and a must buy for its price. The only downside is the surface can scratch easily.

Great pair of headphones!
Comfortable for smaller to average sized heads. Larger heads may find these to be a bit tight. The cushion feels nice and it covers the entire ear. I wish they could be turned up a little louder as they are definitely not the loudest headphones on the market, but the clarity and range is still good and they still block outside noise pretty well. I enjoy the design of the microphone and is one of the best features about these headphones. I haven’t tried the dongle as I only use them for my PC, but it is a welcomed feature if I ever need it for multiple devices. Battery life is good as I can get a few days’ worth of gaming and watching videos. I don’t think I will ever go with another brand if Steel Series keeps making headphones like these. You won’t be disappointed with this purchase.

It is a pretty good headphone. It came with no problems at all and was not used before.

Qualita costruttiva buona, audio molto buono con surround virtuale ben fatto.Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo!Speriamo durino nel tempo, a differenza delle rog con dongle morto a poco meno di un anno di vita e dato il reso grazie ad Amazon( assistenza asus inesistente!!!).Speriamo che steelseries sia un marchio più serio di asus.Per ora tutto ok con queste cuffie.
