  • Just... Wow. Great value headset
Color: Black Size: Wired Style: Nova 1
(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. (edit: 4.5 now, due to below issue) Edit: after using it for a couple months, this headset is amazing and is no longer as tight on the head. However, now I'm facing a new issue, and that is the mic wont fully retract into the headset and would get stuck like there is something blocking it from being pushed into its slot. This comes and goes and I have to use some level of force here and there to get it fully in, but out of fear of breaking it, I stopped doing that. Still, because I only use it for the pc, its not really much of an issue except when I'm eating. For that inconvenience, id drop the review to 4.5. Would still buy a steelseries though because its a fantastic audio experience. ... show more

  • The price and quality
Color: White Size: Wired Style: Nova 1
I think these headphones are a good pick compared to the 100$ headsets I have gotten before. It's a nice snug fit on my head and I really appreciate how the mic is adjustable so I can just have it inside the headset while I use my mic that I bought separately. Over all good sound.

  • Set up actually awful, but otherwise, great quality for the price. Excellent microphone.
Color: Black Size: Wired Style: Nova 1
No instructions come with this headset, and they are not exactly a "plug and play" type of thing for PC. You're going to need to download their "Steelseries GG" program to get any sort of equalizer control, which you're going to want. This requires you to create an account with them to use it. You might need to twist your headphone to audio cable connection to make sure it "sets in place", as per a youtube comment that had a multitude of replies on it thanking him. Make sure your audio wheel is turned up when trying to test if the computer recognizes it. The audio splitter may need to be plugged into the opposite color than the corresponding color on the connector. The SteelseriesGG program will not actually recognize the headphones as their name because they do not support USB connectivity. There are so many crazy things to the set up of this stupid pair of headphones that Amazon told me I cursed too much on my last review and they couldn't post it. That being said, they are fine. Comfort is great, sizing is nice, and the sound quality isn't that bad, actually. Microphone works very well. If I were to change anything about them, it would be literally all of the above. Seems like a fine product with the worst set-up I've ever had with headphones. Steelseries, you're lucky you've made an alright product. I hated wasting so much time getting it working. ... show more
