The most convenient yet stylish headset for those gaming and working from home
Hi all (READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY),Below is my one-week review with the product. I will edit it after a 3 month period.To start, I have lots of experience with headphones. I have had Beats Studios, Airpods Max, Turtle Beachs, Bose 700s, multiple Razer headsets, and even other Steelseries products like the Arctis 6. None of these compare to these for a few reasons I will go into below. I use headphones for gaming but also I work from home as a software engineer, so I am on the computer a LOT and in lots of zoom meetings.!!! Disclaimer !!!: These are the “Xbox” version of these. That means, on your multi-system adapter/DAC, one cord can go into a PC/PlayStation and one can go into an Xbox. **If you plan to use this for a PC and PlayStation, please go buy the non-Xbox version. That said, if you plan to ever use this with an Xbox, you will need this version. You CAN use the Xbox slot for a PC, but it will show up as an “Xbox Controller” and will have more limited functionality.Okay, back to the reasons.1. Ease of use. I opened these up, plugged the multi-system DAC into my PC, turned on the headset and was ready to go. I had a few onboarding steps: Download Steelseries GG, update drivers, restart device (a few times?), but since then they have works FLAWLESSLY.2. Wireless. These aren’t just your typical wireless. I have had no connection issues. I can walk to the other side of the house, as long as I don’t have too many walls between me and my computer these things still work, even then there was just some static. The quality is great as well.3. Battery. This is HUGE. There is a battery in the headset that you can remove and swap with the one CHARGING IN THE DAC. Yes, you heard me, just swap the battery when you need and boom, full charge. You’ll never need the direct connection outside of updates to the firmware. This really is fantastic and easy to use.4. Microphone. I don’t personally use the microphone, but the quality compared to most other headset mics I have used it up there. Some have asked me if you can use the mic while it is in the headset still. I’d say yes, but it will be lower volume and less clear, but I tested it and it would still work (and frankly was still better than like HyperX headset microphones that I’ve had. I wouldn’t buy these FOR the microphone per-say, if you want a nice microphone you can buy a Blue Snowball for cheap on amazon on sale and it’ll be all you need unless you want more professional stuff (get the Blue Yeti after that maybe).5. Connection. I have only used the DAC connection which is really really good as I said in the wireless review. That said, I will be trying to Bluetooth to test that seamlessness they inspire there. I would LOVE if I could get phone notifications while also gaming or in work calls without interrupting those I’m talking to our my gaming experience too much (while of course also me still being alerted).6. Look. These look great. They look professional enough that I can wear them on work calls. I would maybe thing twice if it was a client meeting, but other than that, I’d feel comfortable in these all day.7. Comfort. This is only a one-week review, but I will say they are quite comfortable. The airpods max and arctis 6 are notable uncomfortable to me, the first being too heavy and the second putting too much pressure on parts of my head that I get a headache. That said, no problem with these so far. I like the ear cups actually, they’re soft and feel premium (as they should for this price point). I know I’ve seen people complain online, but I’ve had no issues with these. If I do, you’ll see an update right below here.Overall: Great connectivity and ease of use while looking nice enough for me to not be embarrassed because they’re “gaming” all while being comfortable with good audio. This is a very high price point. If you really are a gamer and want a very intuitive product while avoiding crazy RGBs and your headsets looking too “gaming”, and you can afford these, then absolutely.That said, this is not just money you’re spending on this headset but it’s money you could put elsewhere. Audio is important, but you could get a perfectly good headset for less and still not miss out on the gaming experience. These are absolutely a ‘premium’ product and thus the price point might not really align perfectly. That said, these are my favorite headphones to-date and I am very happy with my purchase, so you might be too.Please like this helpful if this was useful for you.Thanks for listening to my TED Talk 🙂

Negative Reviews need to read the instruction manual.
I see the top review is by a guy named M. Webb.I’d like to address some of his points and how just a few seconds of reading the instructions would have addressed all but one concern he has because the optical port was removed.I have no issues with the GG software. There is a feature that will allow you to hear yourself with ANC on when you’re using the mic. If you go to the break-out box, you can turn that off. Other than that, I don’t see why he is recommending to stay away from it. You NEED it to update the firmware.1. “you’re restricted to only making changes to sound profiles, etc when you use the software”Hold the button down, it will go into the menus to adjust the sound profiles. It says so in the instruction manual. After updating the firmware I closed the app and have not opened it again. It’s running in the background, and I have not used to adjust levels or anything. I do it all with the break-out box it came with.2. “So they give you this charging box now that doesn’t let you do anything other than adjust the volume and chatmix”Again, HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN for like 2 seconds and you can adjust everything from the break-out box just like the previous model.You CAN change sound profiles.You CAN adjust the chant mixYou CAN switch input/output modesRead the instructions.3. “Smaller battery – the previous generation used 1000 mah – they reduced the size to 700 mah. Less capacity so now we have to charge more often / buy more batteries”This is just flat out WRONG. The batteries easily last twice as long as the previous model. The previous model had a much shorter battery life, I have no idea WTF he’s even talking about, to be honest.4. They didn’t get rid of digital output, but they did get rid of the optical output, that’s his first valid point. But I don’t know why you would need it anymore. You can link this with any device that has a USB with the included USB C cable. And yes, it’s in surround, not stereo. Again, it seems like he just needs to read instructions, I have had 0 issues swapping devices without having to unplug/plug in any device. The headset outputs surround sound, check your settings.5. ” They decided to use the cheapest plastic design at this single point of failure resulting in headphones that deteriorate well within the warranty period unless you have a tiny head or treat them like they’re made of glass.”I have no idea what he’s even talking about. These are some of the sturdiest headphones I’ve ever bought. They feel like a tank and are solid. I don’t know where this “single point of failure is.” He doesn’t explain or elaborate. I am looking all over my set and can’t find what he’s talking about. Everything is sturdy, there are made from metal and thick plastic, but it doesn’t feel heavy to wear.6. “ANC is shit quality. I Have 4 year old BOSE with ANC that work so much better at masking / eliminating drone noise.”The ANC is not the best you can get, but it works really well. Based on his previous complaints, I would guess he doesn’t know how to turn the ANC on. I cannot hear my PC next to me, I cannot hear the AC running from where I’m sitting with the ANC turned on. Is the ANC as good as my Sony XM5s? Hell no, but those are the best in the industry. If you’re getting these to wear everywhere and block sound, they are not the best, for that. But for just sitting at home playing games, again, it works really well.So in conclusion, he has no idea what he’s talking about. These are some of the best feeling and sounding gaming headsets I’ve ever bought. Wearing them kind of feels just like the Sony XM4/5s. So if you like how those fit and feel, you will like this headset. You can connect to 2 devices with this at once too using the breakout box and Bluetooth. So you can listen to a podcast/music on your phone and be connected to your PC/PS5 at the same time listening to both. So I would very much recommend this if you can afford it. They are a very good headset and a justifiable upgrade over the previous model.Some other things to address.I saw another complaint about that, Bluetooth not working. It works fine if you connect it correctly and don’t walk away too far. But I can walk downstairs and still listen to my phone with this if the phone is upstairs connected with Bluetooth. I have not had any issues dropping the connection. Maybe it’s a defect and he should exchange them? I don’t know, I don’t have that issue.Another complaint was about having to use the software to adjust the chatmix. You CAN NOT use the software for that. If you try and adjust it with the software it tells you to use the box! See the included screenshot.

Pros: where to begin…Headset is very light for how solid the build quality is.Adjustable tension strap on top is a nice touch too.The earpads are insanely comfortable and there are plenty of aftermarket styles to choose from if you so desire as well.The Bluetooth is rock solid and being able to have dual simultaneous connection via Bluetooth and 2.4ghz is awesome.Dual USB-C inputs is also incredibly useful so that I don’t have to switch the connection and i can keep my pc and switch both connected.The audio quality is quite clear. I feel like the high end end suffers slightly at highest volumes due to the bass distortion as they are a closed back headset. It’s minimal and doesn’t lose points from me for it but feel like it should still be mentioned.The batteries. Oh my goodness the batteries.They charge fast, and last forever and since there are two, you never run out of power. I also discovered that they are the same batteries used in many cameras which was an amazing move as I can replace them both for like 15 bucks and know that I will be able to find them.I’m going to reiterate that the batteries for this headset are what sold me in the first place. The number one problem with wireless headsets is that the batteries will eventually degrade and fail. Steelseries chose to make sure that the life of their device wouldn’t be artificially cut short due to a failing battery by making it user replaceable. You can also charge the batteries using the headset itself instead of inserting them into the base as there is a usb port under the left ear cup cover. The battery is under the right one.One other cool feature is if you swap the battery within 8 seconds it will auto reconnect to everything immediately.Cons:The price tag seems high butThe mic quality is fine for chat like xblive and discord. It is what I would consider to be a mid tier mic.The only other con is that when you haveThe software seems OK but feels like bloat. That being said, you don’t need to use it.The base is very light.I just put some poster blue tac under it so that it is stable to my desk, otherwise it just moves around on the desk too easily when trying to use the knob or button.Conclusion:Would I suggest this headset?Yes, absolutely.
Tras haber estado mas de un año usándolos puedo decir que definitivamente valen la pena, materiales de calidad, sonido inmersivo y preciso, cómodos y gran flexibilidad en personalización además de que son universales para todo tipo de consolas, pc y bluethoot y cuentan con gran engine para que tu mismo crees los drivers de sonido y modifiques las frecuencias a tu gusto., Grandes audÃÂfonos de alta gama.

El producto se siente de calidad premium, sin embargo el sistema wireless 2.4ghz es muy susceptible a interferencias de otros dispositivos como el módem de tu proveedor de internet, bocinas inteligentes, lavadoras, secadoras, bombillas inteligentes, etc. dispositivos que usen la red 2.4 ghz de tu router causan pérdida de paquetes en los audÃÂfonos creando distorsión en la música o lo que sea que estés escuchando, por otro lado el software steelseries solo empeora estos sÃÂntomas, la verdad todo bien pero ese detalle es muy molesto por el precio esperas un sonido con mucho mayor fidelidad.
