Amazing Quality!
This is a great high-quality headset. I use it all day long. I use it for my online classes, and I also use it when I play games on my Switch. It is so easy to install and set up. I just connected the USB-C wireless dongle to my laptop and installed the Steel Series Engine. Also, it comes with a wire so if your headset is not charged you can still use it. I really like the detachable microphone. I only use the microphone when I am taking my online classes, so it is convenient to be able to take it off when you are not using it. Also, you can hear so much more with this headset. I play games on the Switch and when I put the headset on, I can hear things that I have never been able to hear when I play with just the normal sound on the Switch.

i didnt know until i bought this that it can only be used with the bluetooth dongle. it will not work without that dongle. the dongle also uses quite a lot of battery and can get fairly warm. aside from the dongle, these were good sounding and comfortable headphones for the 18 months or so that they worked. now i get audio from only 1 side.

    Solid headphones (review from an actual gamer)
    Solid headphones with good audio. I play games like valorant and escape from tarkov and I usually find myself hearing sounds my friends don't hear. The software has a lot of customization and they are always adding new features to the software such as sonar or performance sound. The only downsides to these headphones is the ear cups are made of fabric that captures smells. Also, you have to always have the software (steel series) open in the background to take advantage of the sound tuning. These are my second pair (the first pair lasted around 3 or 4 years of heavy daily usage.) The reason they broke was because the charging port had been worn out and it became extremely loose. Making it impossible to charge. (To be fair, I was very rough with them and I could have extended their lifespan with better care) I tried to take them apart and replace the charging port but they used proprietary screws to limit access to the internals. After about 3 years of heavy use, the batteries max capacity was pretty degraded. From about 14 hours ish of use time when first bought, to about 5 or 6 hours of use time before needing to be charged. Whenever these headphones give out, ill probably upgrade to a more expensive pair from the steel-series selection, or just rebuy the same headphones.

    Excited then dissapointed
    In the left headphone some electronic is buzzing or whirring only when unplugged. No point of wireless headphones when the only time they work is with the cord.

    A good wireless headset but feel cheap. But lots of attachments for a wire.

    basic garbage headphones
    Headphones really need a charging base, battery is very weak. 12 hour battery lasted little more then an hour and reverted back to a wired set. Nothing to write hime about and this is supposed to be one of the best options.

    I love this headset!
    I've had this headset for a little over a month now and wear them for about 15- 20 hrs per week. They are amazingly comfortable, not heavy at all. They haven't become unpaired a single time and the battery is long lasting. Sound quality is great! Best headset I have ever owned and I've owned a lot of headsets!

    Good for its price
    A solid headset for its price. A very comfortable feel. At first, it felt super light, so light that it had that cheap dollar store feel to it. However, the band and earpieces are extremely flexible and sturdy to a respectable amount. Audio quality is great and the volume control centre on the headset is convenient. The only minor issues with this headset is the power button that is very small and difficult to depress. In addition, the microphone quality in wireless mode shys in comparison to any wired headset for the same cost. But as such is the trade off for the wireless feature. No wireless issues such as static and breaking up have occurred. Once again, a decent wireless headset for it price range with only a scarce couple of issues.
