Bought these back in 2022, they are working solid. Just replace Ear Cushions, because cushion finally started to show age. This product is fantastic for Gaming, Music, etc. The Multi-System Device and its software lets you split the priority of Audio Output. Music playing on one channel and Discord conversation on the other. Sounds quality is awesome, even after 4 years. TLDR: These are worth it, if considering. Read more
Great headset and love the GG app very lightweight and comfortable for long gaming session and glad with the gen2 gameDAC they used a normal audio plug so you could use another headset if you wanted to the only complaint I have is the audio cord is rubber coated and you co standby have to disconnect and untwist it, its 2025 im sure there are better options for cord material that dosent twist up all the time. Overall a great buy Read more
Short version: It’s a really good headset on its own but once you combine it with the GameDAC the customization it allows is something everyone should spend a little time to learn to personalize it best. Long version: Everything about this headset goes above and beyond. As long as you know the basics in your audio settings it’s as simple as plug and play. Though combine that with their steel series software (which btw compared to the software of other brands like razor for example, steel series software barely touches any resources and will not be a hindrance to have running in the background.) The pads around the ears are soft and very comfortable allowing for wearing as long as you’d like. At no point is there ever really discomfort. The GameDAC with the software makes it easy to control your volume using the smooth to the touch dial and a very simple interface that is easy to understand with a useful little tutorial on how to use it. This overall should be good enough for the general consumer to get their hands on this thing but for audiophiles, they get to have their cake and eat it too! The software allows you to play with an equalizer in the software that also has the audio split between several categories (Game, Chat, Media, Aux, and Mic). So you can set your Game channel to allow you to gain the advantage in your game or allow you to have a more immersive experience. Along side that you can have the Media channel to make whatever you watch or listen to sound as crisp as possible allowing you to enjoy every little detail to your favorite songs and movies. Overall phenomenal product and I recommended it for anyone looking for a quality headset without shelling out $500+ one some “super duper high quality headset” when for this price gets ya right up there for a fraction of the cost.

This product claims to have 7.1 surround sound but for the life of me I just cannot get it to work. I’ve downloaded and setup the SteelSeries GG software and enabled the Spatial Audio. When running the special audio test, it will just not work. When it’s supposed to only play audio in my left ear, it plays in both. When it’s supposed to only play in the right ear, it plays in both. With all of these same settings enabled, it works perfectly fine on my old headset. I don’t understand why it won’t work. This headset is junk and I will be sending these back and purchasing a completely different brand. Read more
These are by far the best headset i have ever owned! They are very comfy even when wearing glasses with them on. The sound quality is absolutely wonderful, i can hear everything when gaming, they are a game changer for sure! Even listening to music sounds better, i love the new game dac these come with it is well designed and looks really nice and is also easy to use and offers many tweaks that can be done for your sound levels. I also like that there are color options to choose from if you want to change up the look of your headset via headband or ear cup covers/plates on the outer ear. The only negative things about this headset is sadly they did not seem to change up the cheap plastic that is used on the part that attaches the ear parts to the headband, this is the same spot that my old arctis pro headset broke at and i ended up having to super glue it back together. The ear padding that comes with these are that fake type of leather, yes they are comfy but how long till it starts to flake, so in time these may need to be replaced with new ones. That is honestly the only negative things that i can say about this headset. Overall i 100% recommend these to anyone who has the cash to spare. Side Note: be careful with the headset since it does still have that weak point i mentioned above, if you care for them well then i do not see this being an issue for you. (at least not for a while) UPDATE: so i have had this headset for about 6-7 months now and they are still working great and look just as good as they did when i first got them. ( But i take great care of my stuff ) I am a huge PC gamer so i use them just about daily for hours on end. The weak spot on these headphones that i talked about in my review above is still holding up strong but again i take great care of my stuff, i hang these up on a headset stand i have when ever i am done using them. The fake leather on the ear pads has not flaked at all since i have had them so i am actually really surprised about that and pleased. Again i 100% recommend these headphones. Read more
