    Great headset Cable could use some work overall the sound proofing is pretty good as well the only thing It could use is a longer cord depending on the setup. But overall great headset highly recommend.

    Headset is great but seems to have the same problem A lot of other brands with software on adjusting volumes or input sources randomly. Other than this great headset just software ruins it being a perfect headset.

    Sound quality is good but expected it to be a little better for how pricey this headset is. Mic quality is clear but of course nothing crazy. The little dock with the knob does end up as being more than a gimmick and is actually useful to tune levels of audio between a game or chat I’m in. On sale it’s definitely worth but full price maybe not.

    Definitely worth every dime of these headsets. Great quality grade sound very comfortable around the ears not too heavy on the head my husband enjoys them. Yes they are pricey but you definitely get the quality also. If blocks off sounds.

    Great Headset with decent Surround sound

    Great headset! Sound quality is very good. Surround sound quality could be a little better, even with Amos Spatial sound. I guess I was spoiled with my Turtle Beach Elite Pro which had great surround sound, but had poor build quality. The headphones literally cracked in half and had many cracks around the speaker mounts. The Steel Series seems to be built better and is several ounces lighter than the Turtle Beach. The volume amp gives plenty of sound, much loader than the TB. The app allows for many adjustments through the equalizer.

    Great, excellent quality and sound output is clear and no static. Its compatibility with PC and my PS5 is very refreshing to set up. The amp is very convenient for PC gaming as I can just adjust the sound mix whenever I need to depending on the game I’m playing.

    Great sound quality, the soft ware does not always play nice though. I have found when I update my graphics drivers i have to turn off SONAR to be able to use the DAC again. Great sound quality and volume. Very comfy, microphone is a dream. The included DAC is very convenient when it isnt having software issues. You may need a bit more technical know how than a typical wired headset for these so im putting ease of use down to average.

    Comfortable but needs tuning

    I like how they feel and sit on my head but the sound is strange and often sounds like its inside a tin can. I looked up different reccomended eq settings and found some that made it better but after I downloaded the engine app everything got messed up and I cant find the right settings to make them sound as good. Overall not bad but I was hoping for a lot more for the price. I previously had Astro A40 and really liked them and how they sounded and havent quite come around to the steelseries yet but they are growing on me. With some tuning and getting used to im sure they will be fine and id reccomend trying them out if someone has them or they have a display model in store before you shell out the cash.

    Great Gaming Headset, especially for audiophiles

    Great sound! Good microphone. However, my ears get warm after awhile. But just something to get used to. I have different ear pads too so its not a deal breaker. Directional cues are good and bass/ clarity is great for a gaming headset. If you want something maybe in between a audiophile headset but want a mic id get this. The thing that comes with it acts as a DAC/amp which already makes it better.

    Really good headset, feels like good quality. My only issue is with the software. The software is very confusing to use and always seems to be changing on me. I had the older model and liked the ease of use a lot more.

    Headset is really cool, with great sound quality. My second pair of Steelseries and they are the only brand I will buy from here on out. My only issue is that the sound setting seems to switch from the headset to the app for Steelseries whenever the computer updates. and I’ll have to change it when I realize I can’t hear/talk to my friends. More likely user error than the headset

    Headphones are heavy duty. Sound is pretty decent out of the box. The gamedac is really helpful. You can fine tune eq settings through gamedac using 10 band eq. Microphone is mediocre. Friends reported that my voice is a little "tinny" compared to my last headset. There is also software you can download to your pc to further enhance your studio experience. At the time of this review, I have yet to take advantage of that feature but will in the future. Overall a much needed upgrade. Would definitely recommend.

    4 Stars only because I wish i would’ve spent the extra for the wireless. The wire is long enough for most setups, but for some setups may need to find a good place to have your doc set up.
