- Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2025Style: Nova 1PColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseI play video games almost every day, mostly cozy games and fortnite. I just play for fun with my fiance and didn't feel like spending more than $50 or so was necessary. These are a huge upgrade from my original $20 headset which needed to be replaced cause it was causing a terrible echo and the mic started to go out. Anyways, the sound quality is so notably different with these headphones and no echoing. Noise canceling isn't their strongest quality, but that's also not what I need personally. The setup seemed a little more complicated than it should have been? I tried the cord three different times before I could both hear and be heard, but eventually I figured it out and haven't had any issues since (I reset all my audio settings and restarted my controller). I also love the look of these, I really was not interested in a bulky black and red headset with built in LEDs, that's just not my vibe. These look clean and sophisticated. Also very comfortable. Would recommend and hopefully they hold up long term!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025Style: Nova 1PColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI’ve been using these headphones for a while now, and they’re easily one of the best I’ve owned. The sound quality is amazing—clear highs, deep bass, and great surround effect, which is perfect for gaming. I can hear every little detail, from footsteps to explosions, and it really makes a difference.
The comfort is also a huge plus. The ear cushions are soft, and the headband fits nicely without feeling too tight. I’ve worn them for long gaming sessions, and they don’t cause any discomfort. The build quality feels solid, and the mic is pretty clear for voice chat.
If you’re looking for a good gaming headset that delivers both in sound and comfort, this is definitely worth checking out!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023Style: Nova 1PColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseThe Good: This headset has fantastic build quality and I love the colors/material used. The fitment is easy to adjust and it cups my head perfectly, and I don't feel any discomfort after longer periods of use. Its clean, its neat, its comfortable and the audio quality is better than what I would consider average. Its surprisingly hard to find a headset without RGB (that you're not even gonna see anyway cuz its on the sides of your head lol) and this one nailed the overall design. The mic felt flimsy at first but its actually really nice having so much adjustment rather than just a static, swiveling arm like other headsets. It also stores really nicely to keep your space organized.
The Bad: It took me longer than I'd like to admit to get this thing working.. There were no instructions included, but I found a SteelSeries YouTube tutorial. Turns out I had the cable plugged in backwards and did not know to download their GG app for more settings. The packaging itself feels like I just paid an extra $5 for some stickers I'll never use, and some "ooh's and awe's" effects. Also the cable is a little short which can be an issue on PC if your tower isn't close to you, but it's a toss up because a longer cable would make it a hassle for console/controller users.
What it would take for me to have given 5 stars?
Include instructions in the box, or at least a QR code to link your own YouTube unboxing and setup video. Then get rid of the stickers because 99% of them are going to end up in landfills anyway. I don't even care if it drops the price, the stickers just feel like a waste of time/energy/resources.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2023"Hail and well met, kind sir or madam! I hope this missive finds thee in the bloom of health, surrounded by a mirthful aura and a heart full of hope. Permit me to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to pen this review, a task that I embrace with utmost zeal and verve.
Behold, the headphones, a marvel of modern engineering and a true testament to the art of audio! From the moment I cast mine eyes upon these wondrous devices, I was smitten by their peerless quality and the grandiose attention to detail that hath been lavished upon their creation. The sleek and comely design, so pleasing to the eye, didst immediately catch mine fancy, and with bated breath, I didst tear open the packaging to behold these magnificent instruments.
And as I didst don them, I was transported to a world of auditory bliss, where the sound quality was naught but phenomenal, providing a truly immersive and transformative experience. The dynamic range, so vast and varied, didst leave me speechless, with highs as crisp as the morning dew and bass so rich and potent as to bring the music to life in a manner that is beyond compare. The soundstage, so spacious and airy, didst leave me in awe, while the instrument separation, so clear and distinct, didst leave me breathless.
The noise cancelling feature, a true blessing, didst effectively block out all external noise, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the audio experience, free from distractions or interruptions. The cushioned ear cups, so soft and gentle on the skin, didst provide a snug and secure fit, ensuring that the headphones didst remain comfortably in place, even during extended listening sessions. The adjustable headband, a marvel in its own right, didst provide a customized fit that was tailored to mine own visage, ensuring maximum comfort and enjoyment.
The build quality, a masterpiece of engineering, was a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that hath been poured into these headphones. The materials used, of the highest quality, didst ensure that the construction was solid, durable, and built to withstand the rigors of daily use. The attention to detail, so evident in every aspect of these headphones, from the precise stitching on the cushions to the smooth and seamless operation of the controls, didst leave me in awe.
In conclusion, I must say that I am thoroughly impressed by these headphones and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any who seek an exceptional audio experience. The combination of sound quality, comfort, and build quality, so rare and precious, make them a true investment and a joy to use. I do hope that this verbose and effusive review hath been informative and useful, and I thank thee for taking the time to peruse it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gayet İyi
Sokağa çıkma yasağı kalkar kalmaz kargomu kargo şirketine yolladılar ve iki günde geldi. Çok hızlı olduğu için teşekkür ederim ancak paketleme konusunda daha iyi olunmasını beklerdim kutuda ezilmeler vardı.
Ürün yorumu: Kulaklık oldukça rahat sadece kafa ayarlamasını elastik bant ile yaptığınızı bilin. CS:GO oynarken gayet iyi ses veriyor derinlikler iyi belki bass ı bi tık daha iyi olabilirmiş. Uzanımsal sesle bilgisayarımda şuan sorun olduğu için deneyemedim ona rağmen menun kaldım. Bir de ses yüksekliği biraz daha fazla olabilirdi önceki kulaklığım Logitec G332 idi ve ondan biraz daha yüksek ses alabiliyorudum. Ses oalrak Fiyat performans aletimi dersiniz tartışılır ama genel kullanım olarak baktığınızda gayet başarılı.
