    901 customers mention "Sound quality"513 positive388 negative

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that the sound is awesome, has good volume, and there is a surround sound option available. They say there is not much sound distortion, and the clarity is audible. However, others say that the max volume is not loud enough, the mic volume will be very low when trying to talk in chat, and that the volume level is constantly on display. They also complain about the lack of noise-gate settings and that it fades the channel and cuts the audio entirely.

    494 customers mention "Quality"196 positive298 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the headset. Some mention that it's carefully constructed for the at desk experience, and feels sturdy and durable to scuffs. However, others say that it is obviously weak at the part that connects the headphones. The build quality isn't the best, and the connector feels too flimsy. Some customers also mention that the Arctis Pro also has a floppy cable that is proprietary.

    "...Now almost 5 years later the hinges have started to crack or break but I just glued them into a static position to fix them 'forever'...." Read more

    "...Microphone seems about the same (very good quality in its class and same retractable design)..." Read more

    446 customers mention "Comfort"280 positive166 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the comfort of the headphones. Some find them quite comfortable, flexible enough to get into a comfortable position, and sit snuggly when adjusted. However, others say that they are uncomfortable snug, too tight on the head, and poke some unfortunate user's ears.

    "...They are pretty comfy, and I don't really ever feel uncomfortable wearing them, or after taking them off, yet they are durable, and built to last...." Read more

    "...The headset is extremely comfortable to wear compared to my G933...." Read more

    374 customers mention "Connectivity"235 positive139 negative

    Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the headphones. Some mention that the Bluetooth capability is a plus, the range is great, and there is no noticeable lag when watching a video. However, others say that it randomly disconnects that connection and disrupts them with a sound. The breakout box, as well as Bluetooth pairing, is really handy.

    "...base station is a GENIUS item to pair with these... Perfect connectivity for competitive gaming and you can walk all over your house and still have..." Read more

    "...Range isn't as good as I was expecting, and bluetooth doesn't always make a solid connection when reconnecting, as my coworkers said that I sounded..." Read more

    "...you can really do anything with this headset since it had onboard dual-channel bluetooth and 2 exchangeable batteries (~7 hr or more each)...." Read more

    "...TL;DR - Great option for wireless gaming with a few minor setbacks.Sound: Quality is top notch as far wireless options go...." Read more

    293 customers mention "Value"94 positive199 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the headphones. Some mention that it's well worth the money, while others say that it comes with a lofty price tag. The quality, noise cancellation, battery life, and audio quality are great for the price point. However, some customers say that the reliability seems questionable for the cost, and the mic quality is terrible.

    "...The price is extremely steep on these but they've been worth it. I purchased an extended warranty just in case since they're so expensive...." Read more

    "...was quite a bit deeper than others and I was both satisfied with the cost and condition...." Read more

    "...It's very expensive, but it definitely feels high quality at least from our limited testing so far. My wife loves it, so to me it was worth it...." Read more

    "...My only real gripe is a cheap engineering choice which can easily lead to a frustrating experience...." Read more

    272 customers mention "Performance"112 positive160 negative

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the headphones. Some mention that the batteries work really well, and the built-in EQ system works well. However, others say that the headset is not good, poorly executed, and doesn't always play well with their device. The build is sturdy, but has one weak point that did not take long to fail.

    "...any videos on how 7.1 simulated audio works, it is an extremely hard thing to reproduce...." Read more

    "...It handles everything rather well that I throw at it, even decently in the high-volume range where most headsets start to have some issues...." Read more

    "...The G933, by contrast, was quite "muddy" and indistinct and at higher volumes became rather distorted...." Read more

    "...They lasted a while and worked really well as a headset. They're comfortable, have a great mic, and the wireless works well with a PC or laptop...." Read more

    Los agudos son demasiado fuertes/ The highs are too strong

    Los agudos son demasiado fuertes/ The highs are too strong
    Llevo usando 4 años unos Logitech G pro y me parecía que tenían un sonido muy bueno, pero ahora que me dedico al streaming como jugador competitivo y creador de contenido del videojuego Apex Legends, decidí cambiar a un periférico de mayor nivel. Buscando reviews en internet encontré que muchos recomendaban estos audífonos e inmediatamente me llamaron la atención por su tecnología de carga infinita. Los compré y cuando me llegaron mi primera impresión fue que el sonido que tienen de caja es simplemente insoportable, este dispositivo tiene un serio problema con los agudos, suenan demasiado fuerte al punto que cada vez que los utilizo me termina doliendo la cabeza. Descargué el software de Steelseries sonar para probar ecualizándolos desde su propio programa, y lo que me encontré fueron innumerable cantidad de problemas:- El Steelseries GG hace interferencia con el software del gato (wavelink), desconfigurándome mi micrófono y desactivándolo cada vez que reinicio la computadora.- Tengo serios problemas de rendimiento en el juego, como perdida de FPS, el audio se corta por momentos, y muchos freezings. (Nunca había experimentado este tipo de problemas con otros programas, incluso mientras strimeo a 1080p)- Un día lo ecualizo y siento que ya le bajé a los agudos lo suficiente, pero resulta que no, porque al día siguiente me vuelven a incomodar y le tengo que bajar un decibel más, y así todos los días hasta que llegué a lo máximo que le podía bajar y esto resultó en que todo se escuche muy mal, en especial la música y los juegos de disparos.He desinstalado el software de Steelseries GG y ahora todo va perfecto en mi PC, para ecualizarlo he usado múltiples programas, ahora estoy usando la ecualización de elgato wavelink, pero me sigue pasando lo mismo, tengo que decidir entre que el sonido tengan agudos que me rompan el tímpano y me hagan doler la cabeza, o tener el volumen muy bajito y con una ecualización que hace que todo se escuche grave. Me hubiera encantado devolver estos audífonos, ya que esperaba que por su precio tener una de las mejores experiencias de audio, pero no fue así. Los llevo utilizando ya 2 semanas y no los recomiendo para nada, sobre todo si eres jugador competitivo de Apex Legends, donde hay ciertos sonidos de armas que tienen sonidos muy agudos.----English translation----I've been using Logitech G Pro headphones for 4 years and thought they had great sound, but now that I'm dedicated to streaming as a competitive player and content creator for the game Apex Legends, I decided to upgrade to a higher-level peripheral. Searching for reviews online, I found many recommendations for these headphones, especially drawn to their infinite charging technology. I bought them, and my first impression upon receiving them was that the out-of-the-box sound was simply unbearable. This device has a serious issue with the treble; it's too loud to the point where using them gives me a headache. I downloaded the Steelseries Sonar software to try EQing them within their own program, and what I found were numerous issues:-Steelseries GG interferes with the Elgato software (Wavelink), messing up my microphone settings and deactivating it every time I restart my computer.-I'm experiencing serious game performance issues like FPS drops, intermittent audio cuts, and lots of freezing (never had these problems with other software, even while streaming in 1080p).-One day I EQ it and feel like I've lowered the treble enough, but the next day it bothers me again, and I have to lower it by another decibel, and this goes on every day until I've reduced it as much as possible, resulting in everything sounding very bad, especially music and shooting games.I uninstalled the Steelseries GG software, and now everything is working perfectly on my PC. I've tried multiple programs for EQing; currently, I'm using the Elgato Wavelink EQ, but I still face the same issues. I have to choose between ear-splitting treble that gives me a headache or very low volume with an EQ that makes everything sound deep. I would have loved to return these headphones, as I expected one of the best audio experiences for the price, but it wasn't the case. I've been using them for 2 weeks now and do not recommend them at all, especially if you're a competitive Apex Legends player, where certain weapon sounds have very sharp tones.

    EDIT: 4 YEARS LATER (June 2024): I'm still using these. Over the years I've purchased 2 sets of those cheap foam replacement cups for the ears and that's it and only because I'm too lazy to clean them when replacement cups are only a couple bucks. I have on average used these for at minimum a few hours daily for 4 years and up to 12+ hours on some crazy days. These are super comfortable and just legitimately the most perfect version of headphones I could imagine for any usecase in your own home. easily swap to bluetooth between other devices like your phone or a TV or what ever - the base station is a GENIUS item to pair with these... Perfect connectivity for competitive gaming and you can walk all over your house and still have reception. Now almost 5 years later the hinges have started to crack or break but I just glued them into a static position to fix them 'forever'. I have no idea how many more years I can get out of these but I dearly hope in the next 5+ years if I ever need to replace these I can just pick up the exact same thing - or if the next generation replaces these that they just improve the materials but nothing else. Never again suffer from your headphones disconnecting, the wire comeing unplugged, or tripping over it or the wire constantly needing to be managed with it always dangling between you and your PC / TV / gaming station.

    Original review from march 2020: I've been using astro A40's since their inception. Not because I was a fan boy or anything, I just genuinely appreciate the "best" experience. I've used bluetooth wireless headphones before and I loved being untethered but the latency makes for a poor gaming experience which is why I used Astro A40's and didn't think the upgrade to the A50's would be worth it since they were basically the exact same headset. Well after about 6-7 years my Astro 40's microphone broke and the headstrap broke so it was time to upgrade... It was between a pair of Astro A50's and this Steel series...

    This completely blows me out of the water. Not only does it deliver superior audio than the Astro A40's in my opinion, but it pulls off being wireless flawlessly. There is no perceptible latency. Just in every category these are amazing. I love the low profile look to them. They don't scream gamer (that being said, I wish I noticed these come in black before I ordered). It was literally ONE mini USB cable to set up. It paired instantly out of the box with both the internal battery plus spare battery already charged to at least 90% out of the box.

    Seriously, I just plugged in the included (i think it's called a DAC box?) and it connected my headphones right away and I was already all set to go. If you want the full experience and dynamic 7.1 surround though you do need to download steel series engine which takes 2 minutes (not kidding, its very fast). The software instantly recognized the headphones and downloaded the latest drivers in 10 seconds. Then you just check the box for 7.1 surround and you're all done.

    For gameplay I tested these in Overwatch. I had no idea what I was missing, and seriously this is in comparison to Astro A40's (granted it was the like 2013 versions but still, they had 7.1 surround sound on them even then). I can hear everything so much more clearly and at the added benefit of this things amazing connectivity features. Being able to clearly see my microphone muted, be able to put the microphone away instead of just flipped up (which incidentally the microphone still works while its pushed in and people CAN still hear you if you prefer the more stealth look of the microphone put away). Oh my gosh and the feature to have your phone connected AT THE SAME TIME is amazing. You can be working on your computer, watching videos etc and seemlessly take a phone call and walk away without having to unplug anything...

    Just wow. These are hands down the best wireless gaming headphones on the market. Period. Like I've been waiting for the next generational leap before upgrading and this was definitely it. You can't get this performance and feature set on a budget guys. If this is what you're looking for and you got the money, do it!

    My only CON is that I think they are too tight on the head but are otherwise very comfortable but it's not unbearably tight, just too tight for my taste. I may look for solutions to stretch it. Also maybe the cloth adjustment strap is a hair too short? But these are small nitpicks.

    Seriously... I'll stop here because I'll literally type a novel about how good these are. I'll never buy Astro's again, they have definitively dethroned in my eyes for the number 1 gaming head set. I don't wanna bad mouth Astro's, they are a great headset but they are in 2nd place now for sure. Catch up Astro, I'll look you up in 5-6 years if there is ever a reason to upgrade from this!

    After my absolutely horrid experience with Razer during an RMA (Razer took SIX MONTHS to RMA the headset...), I was looking at contenders for my business, I ended up going for the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, after reviews for the Arctis 7's reviews highly suggested the headsets. I was NOT disappointed!

    The headset IMHO is probably THE BEST headset you could get with the feature-set it offers!
    If you're looking for a gaming-centric headset that checks the most boxes, this is it.

    The unboxing experience is nothing but premium, and you can proudly, if you wish, display the box.
    Everything is well-packed, and they use solid packing protection.

    The headset itself needs very little setup, simply either pair it via Bluetooth, or get the base station wired up, and connect it to your device respectively. DO NOTE, that the Optical In jack is labeled as PS4, as I guess they intend the optical to only be used for the PS4. You CANNOT rename the label, but obviously you can plug in nearly any Opt Output into that input, just know it's labeled PS4. I do wish SteelSeries would just label the inputs as the type of input it is rather than what they envision you using it for; however, this is just an insignificant gripe.
    You will find the base station to be rather light, but honestly, it stays in place on the desk rather well, I've never had an issue with it sliding around.
    Setting the base station up is as simple as plugging in your inputs, optionally plugging it into power (I believe it can pull power needed from USB, but I find the wall-based power to be the better solution), and then configuring preferences like EQ and things. I do suggest keeping Auto-Off on Off because it will shut off the headset after that time elapses, regardless of what is going on.
    Lastly, the base station includes a slot to charge one of the two included batteries for the headset, which last a solid 6ish hours without needing to be charged. (Which charging one of these batteries I swear only takes like 30mins to an hour, and you can swap 'em when one gets low. There is a warning when it reaches like super-low power) You can also charge the headset via MicroUSB directly if you need it.

    The headset itself matches the near-zero latency that they advertize with the 2.4g WiFi from the base station (which is probably the way you connect to your devices if you are using the base station anyways.)
    The headset itself sounds VERY GOOD, not quite Audiophile, but VERY good all the same, and unless you need that audiophile level of sound, you can't really do better IMHO. It handles everything rather well that I throw at it, even decently in the high-volume range where most headsets start to have some issues.
    They are not as noise-canceling as something like the Bose Quietcomfort II's, so if you absolutely need isolated sound, you might not find the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless to fit your needs; although it does block out most sub-ambient noise.
    I do have ONE semi-major complaint, and that is the "Game/Chat Balance" feature on my headset seems to drop out the secondary channel. To clarify, when I assign an app/game to that channel, it works fine for a while, but eventually, it fades the channel and cuts the audio entirely, unless I go into that app, and fiddle with the volume to fix it, only for it to fade again. This is likely a driver problem on my end, but also I am running on Linux on my PC, and I haven't yet found a driver that addresses that problem. If SteelSeries sees this, please reach out if you can!
    On the other side though, these truly are multi-purpose! I can effortlessly go from gaming on my PC, to watching a movie in bed with these and achieve a pretty cinematic sound (The Game of Thrones intro is BREATHTAKING with this headset!). You can reliably watch at full-volume and no-one is none the wiser, which really transports you away from the rest of the environment and isolates you in whatever you are watching. It's quite something!
    In another note, you only get Bluetooth 4.1, instead of the (at the time) new Bluetooth 5, but I hardly notice a major downside without it, although I hope they update the headset soon with things like BT5 and maybe stronger WiFi. To be clear, I can get great range from the headset, and it only cuts out after I get to the other side of my house, which is all I really need.

    The microphone stands pretty much toe-to-toe with my Blue Snowball, which is a relief, although for constant use I STRONGLY recommend using the popfilter attachment that they include with it, although you might run into issues when you go about retracting the mic boom into the headset when you are done using it. Also I believe it covers up the mute LED on the mic itself, but you can outright turn off the LED if you need.

    They are pretty comfy, and I don't really ever feel uncomfortable wearing them, or after taking them off, yet they are durable, and built to last. You get all the support of a metal skeleton, with none of the discomforts, and I find the "Airweave Fabric" band, which doubles as size adjust, to be suitable for even 10 to 12-hour gaming seshes

    Overall, I'd take these everywhere if my job wasn't so... Potentially abusive to the headset, with different oils and powders. I'd recommend them while traveling as well, although I am not particularly sure if the extra batteries are TSA-Compliant, but I think they are fine.

    Overall, there is VERY LITTLE this headset does wrong. I am very satisfied I got this headset, and probably will buy again!

    Edit:
    Over the years, the headset still preforms well.
    The issue I eluded to regarding the second chat channel fading, is NOT a driver problem but a hardware one. There is a capacitor on the internals that shuts off the channel if below the threshold, which is rather unfortunate. One other thing worth noting, where each side of the headset attaches to the frame, they are only secured via plastic, and are susceptible to fatigue if care isn't taken, they are pretty durable, but they would've done better by securing the headset modules via metal that isn't likely to break and effectively break the headset.

    I've had these now for about 6 months. So this isn't an initial first impressions kind of review. I've read what a lot of people have said and it seems like a few people think they understand things that the clearly do not and blame the headphones for it. So let's go.

    Comfort: Honestly, this is going to come down to your ear shape and size probably more than anything. If you have little ears, or ears that sit tight to your head - then in terms of comfort I can sum it up best by saying you'll probably forget you have them on at times. They're comfy, lightweight, and they sit well with the ski band system. I'm a 6'6 adult male. I do not have a little head - yet these headphones stay on me all day whether im in a gaming marathon or working and listening to spotify. The only pain you'll probably get is if you have ears that jut out from your head because the earcups are rather shallow - so your ears will be pressed against the unit and that can become painful over long periods of play; I had that for the first few days of wearing these but I haven't felt it since.

    Build Quality: I'm someone who will pay a lot of money for quality. Build Quality is a factor in me keeping or returning items. I haven't in 6 months gotten bored of picking the headset up and putting it on. It feels great. It feels like it costs. Nothing has worn down, come loose, etc. They just keep looking and performing good.

    Wireless and Battery: I'm comboing this section because they're directly related. You get 2 batteries, so one is always charging while the other is in use. Swapping takes 5 seconds and I've got that down to a 1-handed science. It's laughably easy to swap and charge the batteries, anyone who complains about this likely failed grade school recess. The battery life varies on usage scenario I have found - but I was say on average you're looking at MINIMUM 6 hours with constant music at full volume with bass boosting (more on that next) and as much as a full day if you just leave them turned on and only use the actual speakers sparingly.

    In terms of wireless range, I can broadcast from my upstairs computer (using the wireless dac) all the way into the basement (3 levels) and from the front of my property to the corners of my backyard (large lot). The only time I seem to have ANY issues with range is when I'm within 5 ft of the microwave and it's running. Def interference there - do not recommend warming up pizza pops while wearing these headphones.

    SOUND QUALITY: I left this for last, and my opening comments were mainly about this section. People complaining about the sound quality and putting that on the headphones do not know how audio works. These speakers are absolutely able to output incredible fidelity and the simulated surround sound is also top notch for headphones on the market. The issue isn't the hardware here. It's the limitations of the source and what the dac is able to do with that sound. Likely, you're planning on using these headphones on PC. Windows default audio is dog ____ quality. To really get the most out of your hardware, you need a third party audio manager to unlock the capabilities of even the headset your using when reading this.

    Don't believe me, well let me show you. open up google and look for "boom 3d" (pro-tip, it's also on steam). It will have a 100% complete free trial. Download it, and set it up. when it running, turn on it's surround sound and pick an equalizer you like, I typically leave it on "windows". I bet your cheap walmart headphones suddenly sound a lot better. If you want crazy good music in the arctis headset, turn surround off and instead put it to max fidelity (same row as surround button, to the right) and increase the slider controlling the equalizer. I will bet money you can't handle the sound coming out at full volume without developing tinnitus.

    See, it has nothing to do with the headset itself. The headset is money. People just don't realize that their computers, phones, and consoles have all kinds of factory limits or settings that really gimp the audio. You can spend like crazy and never figure out why it still feels empty. There are other way to unlock that sound, but Boom 3D is the cheapest and easiest way to manage it all. Best of all, your $10 license can be used on 2 computers, so you can give one to a friend and look like a hero.

    All told, this headset is amazing. I had HyperX Cloud II before this so I was coming from a very good headset with high expectations - and the Arctis has been everything I had hoped it would be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Probabilmente il NON PLUS ULTRA del mondo delle cuffie gaming

    Il mondo delle cuffie gaming è un oceano sconfinato, dove è facile perdersi ed annegare. L’obiettivo di questa mia recensione è dapprima andare a fornire una serie di razionali per una scelta consapevole, (pensate a questa review come ad una sorta di faro) ed in un secondo momento spiegare in maniera accurata (per quanto mi sia possibile) le caratteristiche dell’oggetto di tale recensione e perché per me rappresenta il miglior prodotto della categoria, per quell’utenza che non accetta compromessi quando il “gioco si fa duro”, e ovviamente non si lascia intimorire dal prezzo a cui viene venduto.

    Su Amazon per le cuffie gaming, come dicevo, vi è un mondo così sconfinato di scelte che quasi scoraggia l’acquirente. Prima di andare a parlare nello specifico del prodotto oggetto della review vorrei dare un focus su quali sono a mio modesto parere (visto che essendo gamer e divoratore di playlist musicali, di cuffie ne ho consumate un bel pò) le qualità principali che un buon headset dovrebbe avere.

    1. Ergonomia, si esatto, la comodità prima della qualità audio. Questo parametro, espresso in maniera generica, si basa sulla mescolazione di diversi fattori quali: materiali utilizzati per padiglione, e capacità traspirante, tecnologia di realizzazione dell’archetto, e relativi materiali, mobilità dei padiglioni nello spazio, ed infine il peso. Quando questi parametri sono propriamente calibrati, non andrete mai in sofferenza dovuta all’utilizzo prolungato.

    2. Qualità audio, ovviamente subito dopo la comodità ma dello stesso livello di importanza ci sta tutto il discorso puramente tecnico, che non starò qui a farvi, ma vi basta sapere che ogni cuffia è diversa dall’altra e difficilmente ha senso paragonarle proprio perché il più delle volte si paragonano tecnologie completamente differenti. Quello che serve dire, è capire bene quale sia l’utilizzo principale per cui state cercando le cuffie. Ovviamente questo parametro, più del primo viaggia con l’aumento di prezzo.

    3. Utilizzo misto. Io credo che quando parliamo (soprattutto) di articoli di un certo calibro, appartenenti anche ad una certa fascia di prezzo è cosa giusta e buona, essere esigenti per quanto riguarda l’utilizzo al di fuori di quello primario per cui sono state progettate. Parlando di cuffie gaming nello specifico, è ovvio che vorremmo godercele nell’utilizzo misto quale: riproduzione di musica (magari da CD), utilizzo per call conference, per vedere un film, o anche ascoltare la musica in viaggio o per strada.

    IL PRODOTTO📦: SteelSeries azienda dalle amletiche origini presenta delle cuffie wireless gaming pensate per eccellere nel gaming e non solo. Le cuffie sono costituite da un archetto in lega di alluminio ed acciaio super leggero, i padiglioni invece in memory foam ricoperti da tessuto airweave per consentire un’elevata traspirabilità. Il micorfono è con cancellazione del rumore ed ha la certificazione DISCORD. Il punto nevralgico ovviamente sono gli speaker, realizzati con dei magneti in neodimio che gli conferiscono un range ad alta risoluzione che va dai 10 Hz ai 40 kHz. Oltre alle cuffie nella confezione troviamo la basetta trasmittente per ricaricare le batterie e poter regolare la sorgente, il volume, o impostare l’equalizzatore a 5 bande secondo le nostre più disparate esigenze (sono presenti ovviamente anche dei preset); sempre nella confezione sono presenti: un cavo audio USB, un Toslink, ed un cavo audio per cellulare a dimostrazione di quanto queste cuffie siano multimediali, infine sono presenti anche le due batterie.

    PARERI🤔 & CONCLUSIONI🏁: facendo riferimento a quanto detto all’inizio di questa recensione queste cuffie hanno un’elevata comodità, l’archetto in lega di alluminio super leggera è fisso quello che invece si andrà adattare alla forma della nostra testa è la fascia di tessuto regolabile posta proprio nell’archetto. Il peso delle cuffie è veramente basso (non arriva a 400 grammi) ed infine i padiglioni sono mobili in tutte e 3 le direzioni. Passando dal primo al secondo punto della mia premessa, ovvero la qualità audio potremmo veramente stare qui a parlare per ore. Dotate di audio surround 7.1, tecnologia DTS:X v.2.0 (esattamente l’antagonista di Dolby Atmos) i due speaker che riescono a riprodurre in maniera cristallina tutti i suoni, veramente sono un piacere per le orecchie. Voglio però consigliare anche a chi ha trovato piatto e non sufficientemente profondo il suono di “smanettare” in maniera cosciente con l’equalizzatore a 5 bande, perché se settato come si deve, riesce veramente a tirare fuori tutto il potenziale di queste cuffie (nel caso vi dovesse risultare un’operazione troppo complessa l’applicazione disponibile per PC vi verrà molto in aiuto, ed anche la rete è piena di suggerimenti in merito). Le cuffie sono dotate di tecnologia bluetooth e grazie alla tecnologia Dual wireless System possono essere sintonizzate in contemporanea con il nostro smartphone e la nostra piattaforma di gioco preferita (PC o PlayStation che sia). Questa funzionalità la trovo estremamente utile, perché così anche quando sono immerso nell’hardcore gaming, se mi arriva una telefonata posso sentirla, oppure se arriva una notifica in quel preciso istante l’audio del mio pc continua ad essere riprodotto e non va su muto (cosa che accade ad esempio con la tecnologia dual channel del bluetooth di quinta generazione) e quindi non c’è pericolo che possa perdermi qualche battuta durante i filmati ad esempio, o peggio essere costretto a staccare il cell quando le notifiche di messaggi o di app arrivano numerose. Altra funzione particolare e molto apprezzata è quella della doppia batteria che si ricarica proprio nel trasmettitore, quando utilizzo una l’altra si ricarica, in pratica la durata delle cuffie è infinita. Per funzionare le cuffie non necessitano del trasmettitore, e quindi possono essere utilizzate anche fuori casa grazie alla connessione bluetooth, e i tasti di accensione e di abbinamento del bluetooth permettono di effettuare alcune operazioni senza utilizzare il cellulare come ad esempio skippare i brani o rispondere ad una telefonata.

    E’ difficile parlare di un prodotto così complesso e così completo senza dilungarsi, e per restare in un range apprezzabile ho dovuto accenare soltanto ad alcuni aspetti o non menzionarne altri di grande rilievo(come la riproduzione wired offerta da queste cuffie) ma nonostante ciò spero di avervi in qualche modo fornito degli spunti validi per la vostra valutazione. Come si evince da quello che ho scritto, queste cuffie hanno tante funzioni innovative, una grande qualità costruttiva, e pur essendo pensate per il gaming si fanno apprezzare in tutti gli utilizzi (personalmente le ho utilizzate anche per lavorare in smart working, perché il microfono con cancellazione di rumore ed il Sidestone regolabile sono ottimi per questo utilizzo). Sul sito ufficiale sono inoltre disponibili degli accessori di ricambio per tutte le parti soggette a usura.

    SteelSeries con questo prodotto ha raggiunto dei livelli altissimi, che difficilmente negli anni a venire saranno raggiunti dalla concorrenza, quindi a tutti gli appassionati del settore che cercano il meglio del meglio dico semplicemente: non perdete altro tempo!

    Bought as a gift for my better half to use for gaming, he pretty much has not taken them off his head so I assume it's a thumbs up. I am now redundant

    They look nice and he hasn't had anything negative to say about them for the last 3 months he's been using them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant headset, dual batteries are game changing

    I’ve been gaming for years, and this is the best headset I’ve ever owned.

    Really comfortable, great quality sound, Bluetooth so you can wirelessly connect to your phone for calls or music; but by far the best aspect is the dual batteries.
    As you constantly have one in the charging ‘slot’ attached to your pc you have ZERO downtime, and can quickly swap them over in about 10 seconds.
    Really simple feature, but game changing for wireless headsets.
