Flawless on the PS5
Switched from Turtle Beach Stealths and the improvement is fantastic! My biggest issue with the turtle beaches was they would take forever to connect to my ps5, sometimes not work at all, and drop connection randomly. They also sounded pretty bad compared to these steelseries.The steelseries connects so fast and consistently it’s a breath of fresh air. And connect to Bluetooth on my phone without any issues. It’s great taking calls and using spotify while playing games with the boys.They do really sound great and are very loud (and I still have the volume limiter on in the GG app). I did EQing in the app as well which really helped them sound great. Here’s my favorite EQ settings for immersive sound after experimenting:32 (3.5), 65 (5.5), 125 (4), 250 (1.5), 500 (0.5), 1k (0), 2k (0.5), 4k (2), 8k (1.5), 16k (0)I also like the mic more than I thought I would since that was the one thing really good on the turtle beaches. But it has great sidetone and my friends say I actually sound better so can’t complain.Fits well, definitely looser than the TBs but that also means more comfortable. And I have a small head but they stay on without issue.Highly recommend these!

So comfortable!!! Such good quality over Turtle Beach!
My turtle beach wireless gaming headset broke, the mic snapping off, so I was in the market for an upgrade. Using chatgpt to compare my currently headset, I chose this one for comfort & durability, align with sound quality. I did not think I would even use the Bluetooth feature to be able to listen to my phone in my headset while playing PS5 but I actually use that every day now! I listen to audio books or music while casually gaming. I havent tried taking a phonecall with the headset on & didnt read the manual so idk if that is possible but it would be neat. What I love most about this headset tho is it is SOOO COMFORTABLE. I wear glasses and game for hours at a time & this feels like a cloud over my ears. Theres like an elastic type band that is adjustable that prevents the hard headband of the headset from ever even touching your head and the ear pads are so plush & soft. I’ll never try another brand, I’m so in love with it. From what I understand, when you turn it in the color of the light around the power button indicates the battery status as well. Thats nice as I feel like I’m so prone to overcharging things if I don’t know when theyre low.

Great headset.
This is the first Steel Series product Iāve ever owned and Iām very pleased. It works GREAT and it sounds amazing. Probably the best sounding āgaming headsetā Iāve ever heard. I really like how it will work on my Xbox, PS5 and iPhone. I will say it sounds good right out of the box but I would highly recommend downloading the app on mobile or PC and tuning it. It sounds way better after.

Almost a perfect headset
I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the mic picking up all that background noise. I love the headphone quality and it’s a comfortable set. The sound quality of games is decent but the mic is too sensitive in picking up background noise but for spatial sound and single player games I recommend this Steelseries but for competitive online gaming, other options can be more beneficial.

Sound and feel amazing.
Sound quality is really good, and comfort is amazing. Could wear these for hours. Super easy to get set up and connected. Battery seems to be quite well on them.

Worst piece of tech iv’e purchased in YEARS!!!
Update: After finding little to no information from the SteelSeries to resolve my issue I found a detailed Youtuber who posted a video on how to factory reset the headset, after reset i was FINALLY able to pair the headset however theres a pending firmware update that keeps failing š all in all the headset is “Just ok” IMO, still returning.I rarely write reviews, but after owning this headset for just over two hours (and waiting nine days for delivery), Iām extremely disappointed. The headset will not pair via Bluetooth with my phone, which means I canāt connect to the app to set up sound profiles. The included paperwork and instructions are terrible and completely unhelpful.After searching online for solutions, I found countless complaints about the same issue on Reddit going back years. While it does connect to my PS5, the sound quality is awful. Iām replacing a six-year-old Razer headset, and straight out of the box back then, it sounded a thousand times better than this brand-new one.Huge mistake wasting my time and money on this brand. Never again.

Quality product
Great sound, dual connectivity has been a game changer for me. Have never had this quality of audio for gaming, will definitely be looking to purchase more products from steelseries

Very good headphones, personally loved the variation of connectivity options (Bluetooth vs usb connector). They have a good life so you can use them for several days.The software allows you to really fine tune the sounds you are looking for in video games.If you plan to use them for 2+ hours they are a little tight on the head but itās manageable. Overall great headphones and durable.

Este fone de ouvido Ć© excepcional e superou minhas expectativas. A qualidade de Ć”udio que ele proporciona ao meu PC Xeon, que possui um sistema de Ć”udio de fĆ”brica deficiente, Ć© notĆ”vel. ApĆ³s algumas semanas de uso, posso afirmar que o conforto Ć© excelente, mesmo em sessƵes prolongadas de 6 a 8 horas diĆ”rias. A qualidade dos materiais Ć© inquestionĆ”vel, conferindo-lhe uma sensaĆ§Ć£o de robustez, embora o peso seja ligeiramente perceptĆvel, o que Ć© compreensĆvel dada a utilizaĆ§Ć£o de componentes premium. A autonomia da bateria corresponde precisamente Ć s 50 horas anunciadas. AlĆ©m disso, a compatibilidade com o aplicativo dedicado oferece um controle adicional para equalizaĆ§Ć£o, otimizando a experiĆŖncia sonora para diversos gĆŖneros e jogos.

TrĆ©s bon casque pour jouer sur la PS5 et certainement plus fiable que le Pulse Elite de Sony qui avait tendance Ć souvent se dĆ©connecter.Quand vous jouez sans fil, faites toujours attention Ć bien limiter les interfĆ©rences pouvant survenir avec d’autres Ć©quipements bluetooth qui seraient proches.

Easy to setup, connects to both ps5 & phone/laptop easily. You can listen to both at the same time, but switching which mic you use does not seem to be an option. The software for Mac simply does not work with M1 Chips. Big disappointment on that front.The headphones itself are amazing. I was surprised how light they were and the sound profile is very enjoyable. The battery life feel like itās last as long as advertised.Also, there is a dial that allows you to hear yourself in the mix, helpful feature, but it isnāt gradual enough, functions almost like an on/off dial.Still, would rate it 4 stars. Very happy with it. The software working with M1 would have been the difference maker.

Love these things! Can sync up to my PS5 and my phone at the same time, and can wear them comfortably for hours without issue. Would highly recommend!
