  • Can't recommend these enough
Style: Xbox Color: Black
Casual gamer here, but these are incredible value. Fit and feel is second to none. Connectivity is solid, retractable mic is unexpectedly appreciated. The mic has an LED indicator when it's muted which is a nice touch. Sound quality punches above its price point and even has an app that allows you to choose from basic presets and game specific presets and the list is HUGE. Usually play for about an hour or two at a time and never feel discomfort. Setup was straightforward with the wireless dongle on Xbox. Came from wired Astro A20's and feel like they're in the same realm in terms of quality, but more customization and WAY lighter. ... show more

  • If you're looking to purchase something in the middle these are a great option
Style: Xbox Color: Black
I had used the PlayStation exclusive headphones for the PS4 and PS5, and at the end of that journey I'm quite disappointed. Both pairs made my ears uncomfortable after having worn them for maybe 30 minutes. They would always cut out whether the dongle was plugged into the back of the PlayStation or into the front. I know that Sony's pretty good about updating their firmware so there shouldn't have been any issues in that regard. I spent so long asking people and reading through reviews until I finally settled upon these. So far I'm not disappointed! The ones that are labeled for Xbox are $50 cheaper than the ones labeled for PlayStation, and they're the exact same thing. And the "Xbox" branded ones are compatible with PlayStation, Switch, PC, and mobile. They can also switch to Bluetooth mode if you don't want to use the dongle, and the sound quality for music using my phone was actually pretty decent for middle of the road. The retractable microphone and alleged up to 60 hours of battery life makes the fact that they're lightweight even better. And the most important part, they're comfortable. They adjust to accommodate most head sizes I would assume. These gaming headphones are a great recommendation from me! I did read one review where somebody complained about the mic quality. After doing a mic test on my PlayStation I haven't had any complaints from people that I've spoken to. Decent quality, design, and volume control ... show more

  • Amazing headphones! Definitely worth it
Style: PC Color: Black
These Bluetooth and 2.4 wireless headphones are excellent for gaming. The sound quality is clear and immersive, with no noticeable lag when using the 2.4 wireless mode. Setup was quick and easy, and switching between Bluetooth and wireless is super convenient. They’re comfortable for long gaming sessions, the connection is stable, and the battery life has been solid so far. For the price, these headphones deliver great performance and versatility. Definitely a great choice for gamers. ... show more

  • Almost Perfect
Style: PlayStation Color: Black
I received a PS5 as a Christmas gift from my wife and wanted a nice pair of wireless headphones to go with it. After a TON of research and not caring that wired are "typically" the way to go for the best audio experience, I kept seeing mentions and likes for the Nova 5's. I thought it was odd that the 7's kept getting "worse" reviews (still great...just not as good) than the 5's...and the 5's are much cheaper, so I bit the bullet and ordered a pair. Out of the box the set up and the app download was super easy. It was a pain to figure out how to update the firmware (do some research on it but essentially you have to plug in BOTH the dongle and headphones into the computer at once). Once I figured it out it was easy to update the firmware and check out the app. I really only messed with the mobile app (Iphone) and it was cool to check out the different sound/gaming presets you could choose from. As far as the sound goes; It's great. Deep thumping base (for the most part), high mids and good highs. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I know great sound compared to bad. These are great. Not excellent, but unless you want to drop another $150-200 for the 7's, these are perfect. The noise cancellation is great too; I have to take them off to talk to my wife - can't hear her at all lol. For comfort; they are super comfortable out of the box. I did opt to get cooling gel ear pad replacements, but the stock ones on these are perfectly fine. Very comfortable and I wear glasses - no issues there. Connectivity - for the most part is great. No issues with connecting to my phone or my PS5. The sound will start to cut out if I walk into another room with multiple walls between me and the console, but that's to be expected. What I'm not the biggest fan of (hence the one star deduction) are the random pops/interference I hear occasionally when I'm playing. The console is probably 10ft from my seat with no interference at all, and it still happens sometimes. Not enough for me to want to return them, but enough that it can be annoying sometimes. Again, it doesn't happen all the time, but even if I'm playing for an hour it will happen once or twice. I initially started with a white pair (returned for black) and the same thing happened with them. Unsure if it's interference from another bluetooth device somewhere or my router? All in all I recommend these. They are a little pricey, but once you make the next bump from the $30-40 pair, these are highly worth it. Sound, quality, battery life, comfort -- all great! ... show more
