I’ve been using these for about a year and absolutely love the way they sound and all of the functionality they have. Being able to hot-swap the battery mid use was the feature I was most excited about and that works really well. I also just love the way these look, the microphone is very discreet and the headset isn’t bulky at all so I have no problems wearing these to the coffee shop or the gym. On that note though, for me especially when working out these can start to feel hot after a while or even when just gaming. It’s likely different for everyone but I think the leather is trapping some heat. It doesn’t bother me much especially since when out I always keep them slightly off my ears for better awareness. By far the best feature of these headphones is the duality of having Bluetooth and radio in one. I can be playing a game on my pc connected with the usb audio device over radio while it’s also connected to my phone via Bluetooth so I can hear my FaceTime call. It mixes the audio together perfectly I was worried there would be some sort of layering issue or something but nope it’s exactly the same as if you had two things playing at once on just the one device. Admittedly it’s a niche use case but even just keeping my headphones on while walking to the kitchen and being able to start watching a video while cooking then coming back to my pc and unpause my game without having to connect or disconnect anything is so seamless and great. Definitely a feature worth the price. Overall extremely happy and I won’t be upgrading to a different pair for quite some time unless they have these same features and more.

Got it for the PS5, works better than PlayStations own headset. It Auto switches sound to the headset unlike the PS headset. Sound quality is noticeably better and muting is way easier because you can use the PS controller to mute. Battery life is a noticeable upgrade from the PS headset and with swappable batteries it makes for a way better experience. Definitely recommend!!!

Overall this headset is simply amazing from the Durability to the sound quality to the customizations that you’re able to do it . I
Use it for PS five games also for talking on the phone and it’s as well as watching movies on my TV. The headset comes with two batteries so you always have one Charged, While you using one battery for the headset you could be charging the other one in the charging port. I like the fact that you’re able to customize the audio settings for the battery Port interface. The ability to customize your headset is awesome I was able to put “ Wicked cushions” On with no problem. The Headset is very well-made and will not break on you. My only wish for this headset was so ability to raise and lower the volume of people talking during games you have to do that manually In game which kind of stinks.

These headphones blew me put of the water with their sound quality while gaming, and listening to music. The simultaneous bluetooth works pretty good, and is the best headphone yet ive tried with this feature. It can have interference though if you have the bluetooth on and many 2.4 g wireless acessories nearby. I like the battery system and how it comes with two, it makes for longee wireless gaming times. The anc is okay, for a gaming headset. Dont expect the anc to be better than bose or airpods max or sony headphones. Also, if you use anc, and speak at the same time, it cant exactly cancel out all of your voice, so you get a weird slight annoying feedback loop. If im gaming without talking anc isnt a problem. Also, sonar software is kind of a pain to use, the chat mix software sucks. Steelseries engine though, is a pretty good and straightforward software to use. So yeah, it has some problems but overall Im glad i made the purchase as the gaming experience, ease of use, and comfort are amazing so far.

I’ve owned several higher end gaming headsets and this is hands down the best yet. They are not without a few flaws but over all experience is fantastic.
Out of the box sound quality is outstanding and the software allows the headset to be EQ to fit your own needs. No head shaking bass by default but that can absolutely be EQ’d into it. I’ve not heard any distortion while using the EQ either which is rare and evidence of a good quality driver. Great situational awareness is fantastic, they have a very solid 3d space you can hear and track where sounds are coming from, above, below, behind etc. These are well worth the upgrade from the previous version without going into technical reasons they are just hands down better, look better, sound better and I feel have a better build quality. Compared to a few others, I think these perform and sound better than Astro A50, A40 /w mixamp, Previous version of Steel Series Arctis Pros, they are “On-par” with my Apple Airpod max, in some situations sound better, the sub bass is impressive and comparable to my Shure SE846 IEM which is a $1,000+ IEM that has a dedicated sub /w lowpass filter.
You won’t find many negative reviews on these and for good reason, they are expensive but worth it. Some confusion I’ve seen the difference between the Xbox version and the PS5/PC version. Here is what you need to know on that. If you have all 3 and plan to use them wirelessly with all 3 get the Xbox version. If your PS5 is close to your PC and you want to switch between the two without unplugging anything, get the PS5 version.
The xbox version basestation has a dedicated xbox usb port and 1 normal usb port, the ps5 version has 2x usb ports so the PS5 version will work with xbox but not wirelessly. You’ll have to use the 3.5 cable and plug into a xbox controller, flip side the xbox version will work with both PC and PS5 wirelessly but you still only have the 2 usb ports and the xbox one will ONLY work on xbox leaving you to 1 port so you can’t hook all 3 to it at the same time.

Awesome headphones overall. The issue is they aren’t exactly perfect. The mechanism for the infinite battery system is weird such as how you replace your headphones battery on itself or how you plug it into the charger. I wish the process was more smooth. Wireless charging would be nice for this price or a stand that charges seen on other headphones designed for console users. The headphones are very comfortable definitely a great attribute and other headphones at this price range aren’t as comfortable from my experience. Additionally, the audio quality is amazing and really it’s incredible at this price rage. The microphone is not great. I’ve heard better from way cheaper headphones and the software really doesn’t help. The software however does have unique features and will enhance your audio experience.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for high quality gaming headphones with a microphone that are unique and powerful.
