Honest Review
TL:DR; Buy these headphones, 9.3/10.First review, so bear with me.These headphones have to be one of my favorites. I own Skullcandy Crusher Evos and previously owned HyperX Cloud II’s before they broke, which is why I bought these ones.Sound Quality: Out of the box, the sound quality out of the box is decent at best, but that’s what the GG client software is for. With a bit of patience, you can tweak the EQ however you like to find your preferred/perfected audio experience or you can choose between a myriad of presets. You also have the options to switch presets on the fly through the base station. Having such agency with a product on top of it being a genuinely good listening experience makes it a worthwhile product in my book. 9/10.Build Quality: I would say the build quality is pretty damn good. It’s a mix of plastic with metal parts, but the plastic doesn’t feel cheap to me. I have a tendency to sleep with my headphones on with one ear cup off on the side that I am lying down on (which is how my HyperX’s broke. Stupid, I know) and it doesn’t seem like these can/will break very easily. Aside from that, the band that goes between the top of your head and the actual top of the headphones is a Godsend! I’m used to headphones kind of digging into the top of my head and being a bit painful, but the band completely nullifies any chance of that happening, I’m surprised more headphones do not have this feature. Easily one of my favorite features of these headphones. 10/10.Features: I love the convenience of the base station, being able to change the volume and other settings at will, especially changing whether you want game audio dominant or “party” audio dominant. It brings me back to being on Playstation. Moreover, the hot-swappable battery system is much more preferrable than USB charging in my opinion. I have a tendency to forget to charge my headphones so I’m always charging them while using them; the battery system gets rid of that issue completely. Not only will the headset turn off after 15 minutes (if you have it set to that like I do), if the battery is low, all you have to do is take the extra battery out of the base station and pop it into your headset and let the other one charge. I love it. The only issue with this is, apparently it’s hard if not impossible to replace these batteries with the actual model if they’re lost or broken or what have you. I can neither confirm or deny this because I only heard of this being an issue and haven’t actually put in adequate research or have experienced this myself. But either way, I still love this system. I prefer it way more compared to USB charging. 9/10.All in all, I love these headphones. These have to be one of the best I’ve ever purchased. I’m enjoying them so far, and I don’t see myself switching off from them any time soon. The features that they offer are perfect in my case. That being said, they may not be perfect for you, so do your research before buying these headphones because they are quite expensive. Remember that reviews are subjective, so one person or even many people’s experience may not 100% tailor to your potential experience. Or do what I did, buy them and see how you like them. If you don’t like them, you could always return it. If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for taking the time to read my review. :)Overall Rating: 9.3/10; would highly recommend.

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.

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 audÃfonos creando distorsión en la música o lo que sea que estés escuchando, por otro lado el software steelseries solo empeora estos sÃntomas, la verdad todo bien pero ese detalle es muy molesto por el precio esperas un sonido con mucho mayor fidelidad.

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 audÃfonos de alta gama.

Headset com a melhor qualidade de áudio que já tive, extremamente confortável e bem construÃdo.Funciona tanto no Xbox quanto no playstation.E funciona com o celular por bluetooth simultaneamente. Enquanto vc joga pode escutar musica ou áudios no celular.Se vc usa óculos ele não incomoda.à caro, mas cumpre muito bem tudo que promete.
