  • Great budget headset
Style: Nova 1 Color: Black
Everything about it is just great. The design, material, sound quality. Everything is perfect. Now the only negatives about it is no wireless connection and the mic is a bit sensitive in my opinion

  • Quality vs price is excellent
Style: Nova 1 Color: Black
I wanted something I could use for my ps4 pro my Xbox series s and my surface book 2. This does all three so I don't have to have multiple headsets. It may not be wireless but for 60 bucks all 3 systems are covered. Sound quality is great for gaming. Mic quality is very good for gaming and it also sounds good in discord according to my clan mates. Music sounds good on it as well. Lastly it is very comfortable...if it holds up build quality wise I have no complaints. Will update review if problems arise... ... show more

  • Updated
Style: Nova 1 Color: White
Final Update: I kept coming back to these headphones because I had a feeling something wasn't just broken, turns out its not the headphones being bad, its setting issues! I've decided that the Minecraft gaming equalizer setting was best for game music. These headphones are definitely built for 3D environments. Download the GG Steelseries app to get the most out of these headphones, they have a lot of subtle audio customizations if all your fundamental settings match up. First impressions: I switched over to these from my Razer headphones. Needless to say by the title I am not impressed by the sound quality of these headphones. I will be returning them which is a shame. I ordered these hoping to take a gamble because my razers have been glitching lately. I switched back to my old headphones immediately because I just couldnt deal with the bad quality audio its physically painful. I would not consider myself an audiophile but I have very sensitive ears, switching back to the razers there were elements of the music that the steelseries didn't even pick up. Update: I gave them another try, and have compiled a pros and cons list Pros: very comfortable and tight enough on the head that they won't slip off if you move. When they decide to work they work great The mic is very sensitive, I can be heard even when whispering Cute looking and I personally like the satin feel of the plastic Lightweight Cons: VERY fickle about if they work or not, which defeats their entire purpose. This includes that they will stop working in the middle of using them. ... show more

  • Awesome multi-platform gaming headset for adults or kids
Style: Nova 1 Color: Black
These were bought for my son so he could play on his PC and Switch. He is upgrading from a very cheap pair of headphones, so the difference for him was extremely noticeable. He has had some long gaming sessions over winter break and he no longer complains about his ears hurting from the ear cushions on the old pair. They are lightweight and deliver good quality and accurate highs, mids, and lows. Very acceptable for the price range. I had to troubleshoot some PC issues for him (Epic Anti-Cheat not working with some other programs running in the background) and wore these headphones for about 30 minutes or so. I use higher dollar noise cancelling headphones for my work and I can say that these SteelSeries headphones perform very well for sound, but not as much for noise cancelling. Better than many noise cancelling earbuds (sub $80) and such, but exactly in line with what I would expect from over-ear headphones in this price range. In summary, great light-weight and sleek looking headphones for a kid or adult who wants to game for a decent amount of time, but doesn't need high quality noise cancelling. Highly recommended by my kid gamer and this adult gamer. ... show more

  • Just... Wow. Great value headset
Style: Nova 1 Color: Black
(note: I wear glasses. I feel like this is important to mention with headsets >.>) Honestly, I never expected headphones to make such a big difference in experience. My first headset was a 25$-ish headset that broke, so I decided well, lets try something a bit better from a reputable brand, and ended up buying this one for 40$, and it is worth every. single. cent. spent. Audio is amazing, and it comes with an application you can download that allows you to tweak the sound depending on your use. It did seem a bit overwhelming at first, but its actually fairly simple to use once you get to understand it a bit. The headset does feel a little tight on the head, but so far its not uncomfortable to use for long periods of time, as long as you put it on right. Even while using glasses, this feels ok on the head. If you put it on wrong however, like I did when I first got it, it would be very uncomfortable and even painful. My only complaints would be that, because its all plastic and feels a bit hard, I get worried about breaking it and try to use it as gently as I can. However, I have seen a Youtuber do a review of this headset and he stretches it beyond what my heart can handle without breaking, so there's that little bit of relief found there xD. The 2nd complaint is the short wire length. Would have loved having it be a bit longer, but its not bad. Overall, my experience with it has been pretty well. So well that, despite the 2 complaints I listed above, I'd still be willing to give this a 5/5. ... show more
