Niveau qualit micro selon mes amis sur discord c’est ppite sah et sinon au niveau du son c’est tout aussi correct dans l’ensemble et confortable faut le dire,j’approuve comme premier casque
I’m on my 3rd set.
Not because they’re bad, just because I wear them out/break them.
Amazing headphones for the price. Superb sound quality and very comfortable.
Highly recommend.
My son says they are the best gaming headphones he’s had.
Personal opinion these would be much better if the sound could be louder . If they stop working check u havnt pull the cord out I do it often but awesome headse
Ik vindt het een goede koptelefoon, maar wanneer je de band stelt vindt ik het raar uitzien. De band is van klittenband en als je het dan stelt staan de uiteinden van het klittenband omhoog en dat staat lelijk.
Verder is de microfoon goed, mijn game vrienden hoorde gelijk het verschil.
De koptelefoon is ook licht dus je krijgt er geen koppijn van.
I was unaware that I had to plug the cable into the headset all the way made me worry and made me very uncomfortable other than that they work fine.
I like the product, but paid a heavily discounted price as a black friday special. not sure if id pay the normal price as the earcups arent that comfortable – but as a backup pair of headphones, they do the job perfectly
The noise cancellation is really good . Son can’t hear me shouting on him when they are on . Ha
Attention: il ne fonctionne pas sur la Nintendo switch lite !!
Du coup je l’utilise sur PC et produit de quali
Only downside is the dongle is quite large, but it does have a great range!
Je ne comprends pas du tout les commentaires ngatifs que j’ai pu lire…!!!???
Le micro fonctionne merveille et mon conjoint mme d baisser le son du micro car il m’entendait un peu trop bien pendant que nous jouions sur PC!
Le son est impeccable il manquerait de basses d’aprs mon conjoint mais en ce qui me concerne je n’ai pas me plaindre ce niveau et cela ne me pertube aucunement!
Il est rglable ainsi que trs confortable et le design en plus de me plaire est propre!
Je le recommandes fortement, le rapport qualit prix du produit est super ainsi que non ngligeable!
Je l’adore!
Esprons que cela dure bien entendu et que je n’ai pas de problme technique aprs avoir dit cela je vous tiendrez au courant dans ce cas!
Ce casque est un trs bon rapport qualit prix 49 euros. Il est confortable. Le son est un peu touff pour couter de la musique mais cela reste tout fait correct. C’est la premire fois que j’utilise un casque circum auriculaire.
Le cuffie sono molto valide sotto tutti i punti di vista ma hanno un problema, non isolano bene quindi se sei in chiamata con qualcuno questo sentir l’audio in arrivo dal microfono delle cuffie, si pu pi o meno risolvere modificando il livello minimo di dB richiesto per l’attivazione del microfono
J’ai deja eu des casques plus chers qui n’offrez pas autant de qualit donc agrablement surpris !!! Confortable mme aprs quelques heures on ne le sent pas. Le rangement du micro est bien pens. Le son est de bonne qualit.
Needed an adapter to connect headset to controller, already had one , so didn’t have to buy one , so far ok
No puedo decir nada ms de: ESTOY ENCANTADA CON ESTE PRODUCTO.
Estuve buscando cascos y al final me decid con estos que encima estaban en oferta y tenan buenos comentarios. Cuando me llegaron los cascos flipe con la buena presentacin que traen y lo bonitos que son! Peero esque al probarlos.. he tenido un montn de cascos de todo tipo de precios y desde luego, ninguno hace competencia a estos. Tiene un sonido increble, es sper cmodo hasta para las personas que lleven gafas, el micrfono por lo que me han dicho en los grupos, se escucha genial!
Yo lo uso para m PS5 y me va de maravilla.
Adems, puedes tirarte muchsimas horas jugando que no te van a doler las orejas.
* Para las personas que dicen que se escucha bajo en la PlayStation, subid los volmenes del juego, no es un problema. Aunque yo no he tenido problemas con el audio
Recomiendo este producto sin ninguna duda.
A steal for the price , in super condition and arrived early , lots of great features ie noise cancelling
Los cascos en general estn bien, por el precio que tienen salen bastante a cuenta aunque hay algunas cosas que no van del todo bien.
De cosas buenas tenemos el sonido. Lo que buscaba con estos cascos era no escuchar alrededor de mi ya que tengo una pecera al lado y la torre al otro con 6 ventiladores, en fin, decepcionado no estoy.
El rango del cable est bien y tal pero quiz los botones de mutear y la rueda de volumen no estn en el mejor sitio, aunque no es nada grave.
Finalmente toca hablar del micro. Hay que saber colocarlo bien y si te pasa como a mi que tienes mucho sonido alrededor, vas a tener problemas ya que se va a escuchar todo alrededor. El tema est en ponerse a configurarlo y as resolver el problema.
Por cierto, el diseo muy bonito.
Great sound quality and very comfortable.
The mic volume is a little bit low by default, but this is qutie easily remedied. Background noise suppression is pretty good too.
Purchased for my partner who 100% believes they are great value for money. Fits well and sound quality is amazing. Great noise cancelling. Wears for gaming and will now have to continue to buy steelseries headsets for him as they are his favourite
I’ve had this headset for nearly 2 years now and honestly the best headset I’ve owned. Sound quality is great and it is a very sleek looking headset. The padding is amazing and makes it very comfy for hours of sessions.
I’ve had Astro A50’s and these sound just the same if not better. I first got them for 30 and they were brilliant till I sold them, I then got a new pair for 60 and it’s still worth it. Sound quality is really good, they’re comfy and the mic quality is better than mos
Amazing sound quality, amazing mic quality, amazing comfort and overall this headset is extremely good. You might see people leaving 1 star which is definitely not right. This headset is so good for its price and very good quality
don’t worry that some may say it is trash, but trust me it is worth the money and u should get it as fast as u can if ur looking forward for a good headset with good quality and overall feel
maybe not not so much for gaming, you can find better ones in the price range, but great for online conference
My old headset was causing me problems with comfort, where it would press against my ear and start to hurt after a while. However, the SteelSeries Arctis 3s solved that issue. They are the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. The sound quality is very good for whatever your doing, whether it be gaming or watching YouTube/Netflix etc. The microphone is fantastic, with the ability to retract it when not in use (or eating while watching something). The actual microphone quality is good with a mute button on the actual headset, which I prefer over the cable which is on some other headsets.
Generally a fantastic product. I would definitely recommend as a high quality, mid price point headset.
You can set up your profile on your PC and it is then saved in the headsets firmware, so once you have it how you like it, your can plug it into whatever you want, even your phone and don’t need to worry about haveing to deal with setup and config. You can even adjust the no audio sleep timeout, something most headsets don’t allow you to adjust.
Batary life is good, and will go all day on one charge with ease.
If I had to say something bad about the headset, I would say that the volume roller is in a rather silly place. Normally they are placed in the Middle back of the headset, however for whatever reason they placed it on the bottom back. This means that you can sometime kock the roller on your shoulder if you turn your head in a particular way. You will however learn to not knock it after a few days.
I find these very comfortable and very good sound quality, after a while my mic starts to shake at a very tiny movement and make an annoying noise but if you out it back in it’s fine, worth the price
I was sceptic about buying a second-hand item, but I gave it a try. “Like a New” Steelseries Arctis 7 came absolutely new. First time ever I felt like winning a lottery ticket. Not sure how it works, but I truly recommend this seller.
The headset is good for the price and the sounds are decent as I use it for gaming I don’t have any issues with the quality. But if you want to have a better experience then save your money and buy a new pair in the series as this doesn’t come with a EQ setting and it’s not supported on the Steel series website. But for comfort I’ve used it 12 hours solid and didn’t have any discomfort at all.
The only drawback is the shallow earcups: the material is too soft and your ear will press against the receiver which is painful for extended play sessions. Expect to fork out for some deeper replacements unless you possess the ears of a field mouse.
+5 for prowess and features, -1 for shallow earcups. 4 stars
This is great headset for comfort, quality and sound. I highly recommend purchasing this headset.
Great sound quality, comfortable to wear for long periods. Easy to adjus
A great looking headset that is comfortable and does what it says on the tin. The cable is a bit short for my liking but it can be extended. I’m pretty happy with this product.
Super leggere, comodissime e si sentono molto bene, “sono da gaming” quindi se siete degli audiofili un po tristi che cercano cuffie con connettori in Adamantio e Foam creata con piume di Colibri’ avete sbagliato luogo.
Provengo da semplicissime cuffie economiche, ed fantastico ora percepire la provenienza di spari passi e rumori, cambiano moltissimo l’esperienza di gioco.
Il volume sulla cuffia molto comodo, prima lo avevo sul cavo ed era un continuo alza e abbassa ad ogni mezzo movimento.
Comodissimo anche il jack per connettere una seconda cuffia se qualcuno gioca o guarda un video con voi.
Microfono figo retrattile alla Wolverine, non ho ancora avuto modo di provarlo in chat, aggiorner non appena lo avr fatto.
La recensione inetente la versione cablata delle cuffie, “il budget non mi permetteva di andare oltre” comunque ho letto recensioni molto positive anche per le verioni Wireless della SteelSeries
My friend loves the gift i gave him he is happy and enjoying this produc
Linke oder mikro USB anschliebar und mit einem zweiten Headset via klinke 3,5 “koppelbar”.
Laut/Leise Rad stufenlos und “own mic mute button” hinterm Rdchen.
Alles top.
Das einzige Manko (meises Erachtens nach) ist, dass man den Surround Sound nicht ausstellen kann.
Das Headset gibt immer Raumklang ab, selbst wenn man gerne Stereo htte / am Ausgabegert einstellt.
Schade aber fr die Preisklasse, mit den Features Plus der Sound und Mic Qualitt (ich wiederhole, der Sound ist sehr gut und das Mikrofon ist nahe der Studioqualitt!) absolut verzichtbar.
Perfekt wre es mit umschalt Mglichkeit, so ist dieses Headset mit allen Features und dem Preis einfach “nahezu perfekt”
5* ohne einen Zweifel.
Ho letto alcune recensioni riguardo queste cuffie abbastanza contrastanti ma nonostante ci le ho comunque prese visto il forte sconto del Primeday. La prima cosa che ho fatto stato testare i punti deboli menzionati ovvero la qualit audio scadente per i brani musicali, non sar un audiofilo ma i bassi sono perfetti per i miei gusti, dipende molto dalla qualit anche della traccia che si ascolta secondo la mia umile opinione. Altro punto i giochi FPS, qualcuno ha detto che non si sentono bene i passi nei giochi, sono un giocatore di Escape from Tarkov dove i passi contano pi di qualsiasi altro gioco e onestamente non ho avvertito nemmeno questa mancanza di fedelt e vendo da delle Steelseries Siberia 350, il cui modello successivo sarebbero le Arctis 5, quindi mica roba scadente. Se da qui ad un mese dovessi notare qualche pecca mi apprester a scriverla qui ma finora per me hanno passato l’esame.
hey are great headphones and the microphone is basic but works fine.
This is the first pair of gaming headphones I have ever bought and wow what a difference they make! These are so comfortable thanks to the soft ear cups and skiband headstrap. Great for noise cancellation.
Ich habe dieses Produkt als Gaming-Kopfhrer fr die Playstation 4 gekauft.
Die Kopfhrer umschlieen die Ohren komplett und sie liegen sehr angenehm auf. Die Tonqualitt ist gut, natrlich nicht zu vergleichen mit Kopfhrern die ausschlielich fr Musikzwecke dienen. Die Gaming-Kopfhrer erfhlen ihren Zweck mit einigen netten Extras die Vergleichsprodukte nicht haben. Die Lautstrkeregler ist direkt am linken Ohr und sehr einfach zu bedienen. Die Stumm-Taste darunter ist auch sehr vorteilhaft.
Die Qualitt des Mikrofons ist auch gut, jedoch nicht gut genug um damit auf hohem Niveau zu streamen, aber fr den Anfang reicht es. Ingesamt kann man fr den Preis mit diesen Gaming-Kopfhrern nichts falsch machen.
It is very comfortable to have on your head sound quality is really good and I think my favourite thing about all of this is the mic is very clear and never cut out overall if you are thinking to get these get them they will not let you dow
Pros
– Once setup the sound is really crisp and clear with balanced mids and bass.
– battery easily lasts 18 – 20 hours between charges
– I can walk around my entire house with the headset still connected – so easy to go make a sandwich or get a drink between matches.
– mic is clear and is one of the better wireless mics I’ve heard.
– the software is generally light on resources so won’t slow your games down
– the chat/game mix feature is a life saver and really helps you make small adjustments or even mute entire channels without issue.
– no rgb (if you don’t like that)
Cons
– you really have to set the sound up to get the most out of it. Out of the box sound was very tinny with next to no bass for me
– the volume knob is easily knocked and can cause some crackle
– no rgb (if you like that)
– battery is not replaceable like the arctis 9
The sound quality is good out of the box, and very easily tuned in Steel Series engine to make it that bit better. While these do not claim to have a noise cancellation feature, because of the lovely air foam around your ear you can barely hear around you (much to the annoyance of my girlfriend having to shout in my ear)
As a wireless headset these are fantastic in that aspect, the signal has never cut out and I have never experienced issues while using these with my set up the range is impressively long and I can walk around my house without losing signal or experiencing any jittering while taking to my pals. I love the pass through you can use for external speakers as well so while your headset is turned off it will route the music/film to your speakers which means no more messing around in windows with the sound output – fantastic!
Unless you have a very, very big head then this will fit perfectly. And I mean perfectly, unlike other headsets. You forget you have it on almost instantly. The sound quality is very good for a gaming headset, considering it is stereo. Voice chat is crystal clear.
Decent budget mic, bought as a quick replacement for an old pair of Krakens then I plan to upgrade to the Arctis 9x (wireless) later down the line.
Keep in mind. You will need a computer and to download the steel series engine to update the headset as soon as possible as if it is not updated the power on button is tied to the Xbox’s power on signal. Meaning when you turn on/off the headset it does the same thing to the Xbox which can be annoying if you just want to turn the headset off for casual gaming.
The battery life is very long and I only charge it once every 3/4 days
Ce casque a un trs bon son est est trs confortable grce au bandeau sur la tte.
Cependant il faut savoir qu’il n’est plus soutenu par le logiciel de Steelseries et que, pour le mien, le bouton “mute” derrire l’oreillette gauche ne marche pas.
Best gaming headset I’ve had yet, love how you can use these for both gaming and mobile for music, the sound quality is so crisp and clear… I would definitely recomend getting yourself a pair of these, I originally wanted the Bluetooth ones but there was none in stock but supper glad I got these instead.
The build is a little light and ‘plasticky’ but it’s largely to the set’s benefit. These are lovely and light and the microphone and buttons are really convenient. A big upgrade from my earbud headset that I was using before.
These headphones feel lightweight but with cheap material the feel on ear is not that pleasant. The ski band is a good touch though. But all that pales to nothing when it comes to audio quality, and the Steel Series is ok, I got these at 120 quid and frankly they are just about worth the money BUT if you are expecting them, naively as I was to deliver Astro a40/a50 sound quality they don’t, not even close. The sounds is clear, sharp, good for PvP but you loose the richness of sound that Astros provide that creates that immersive gaming experience.
My search continues, these will do fine while I continue my search for something that delivers the sound and build quality that should come with high end gaming headsets.
Das Headset ist super… funktioniert bei mir an der PS5 einwandfrei.
Das einzige was ich zu bemngeln htte ist die Lautstrkeregelung am Headset. Diese ist ziemlich leichtgngig und man kommt beim auf und absetzen mal leicht dran und verstellt sie etwas. Hier htte man eventuell eine minimale Verriegelung bei voller Lautstrke machen knnen und den Wiederstand etwas vergrern.
Ansonsten drckt nichts und Tonqualitt ist sehr gut.
ber diesen kleinen Mangel kann man hinwegsehen weil ich sonst noch kein besseres Headset als dieses gefunden hatte.
Die Tonqualitt an der Xbox SX in Kombination mit DTS X ist einfach Klasse. Ich hre Details die ich vorher nicht wahrgenommen habe.
Die einzigen “Probleme” die ich mit dem Headset habe sind zum einen das MIC-Monitoring, da ich mich gerne selbst hre knnte es ein bisschen lauter die eigene Stimme Wiedergeben um nicht so zu schreien. An der konsole ist es auf MAX gestellt und Trotzdem kaum ein Ton.
Zum zweiten fehlt die Funktion Party und spiele Lautstrke getrennt lauter und leiser drehen zu knnen, geht aber vermutlich durch die Kabel Anbindung bei keinem.
Fr den Preis bekommt man “meiner Meinung nach” ein wirklich top Qualitatives Headse
Amazing quality and comfort. Sometimes i even forget that i have it on. Sleek and low profile look goes well with my current set up, highly suggested for both console and Pc gamers.
So good I can shout at him in the room and he still oblivious! Great and worth the money. Happy son.
Been using these for long gaming sessions and they are easily the most comfortable headset I’ve owned and the sound quality is amazing no complaints also been using for uni work attending m virtual tutorials and so on and again amazing headset and good mic quality
I have worn them for hours with glasses, and they are as comfortable as my last pair of studio ref headphones (AT m50x). They sound really good with music, movies, and games. They are not “audiophile” grade, but that is not a fair standard to hold a pair of 99 wireless headphones to. Valorant matches sound fantastic, and I can hear every step, shot, and special, with comfort and accuracy.
You can walk them two rooms away and they still hold the signal, great if you want to torment your League pals by taking them to the toilet with you (don’t do that. It’s gross).
Set up is ridiculous. Plug it in to a USB-C port and they just work, same with Switch, plug and play, no noticeable latency. Only draw back being these will not work with iPhone without using a cable to plug it in with the included 3.5mm jack.
The best in-class headphones you can get for under 100, utterly blown away. If you are looking for some wireless freedom and don’t want to compromise on sound, the search ends here.
Thank you SteelSeries for smashing my skeptical expections, once again!
Edit: Here are some more thorough additions. Even considering their cheaper price, apparent downgrade from the lack of SS’s trademark adjustable ski band system, comfort isn’t an issue, if anything, they stay on your head a bit more securely, even with a mass of hair! The microphone is as clear as it has ever been, bonus for removability just, be careful not to lose it, it’s easily done… the arrival of a type-C dongle is something I thought was restricting, apart from taking up the charging slot on your phone or Switch for example, it keeps the connection steadier then I’ve even seen with other wireless gaming headsets, no latency at all (i.e. no laggy music/out of sync audio). The future is now guys n’ gals, affordable, reliable wireless gaming headphones/headsets are here, these in particular blast out fantastic, high fidelity sound that is just hard to beat at this price point. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, aslong as you have type-C devices, hop off that proverbial partition and it frolick through the golden, cascading fields of STEELSERIES products
Edit 2.0: I forgot to mention, easily tweaking these headphones with decent surround sound software on your computer is a MUST. The free, built-in ‘Windows Sonic’ is a great choice for games and movies. For music, is your lucky enough to be able to use a decent equaliser, please tweak to taste, you won’t regret it.
Zusammenfassend ist das Headset an fr sich sehr gut in vielen Aspekten aber beim Musik hren fehlen mir leider die tiefen Tne weshalb ich noch nicht sicher bin ob ich es zurckschicke.
Etwas detaillierter:
Verarbeitung:
Die Kopfhrer sind sehr gut verarbeitet auch wenn fast alles Kunststoff ist, fhlen diese sich hochwertig an und sind dank des verstellbaren Bandes auch sehr bequem. Positiv finde ich auch, dass die Ohrpolster aus Stoff sind und nicht aus Kunstleder. Das erscheint mir langlebiger und ist auch angenehm zu tragen.
Mikrofon:
Das Mikrofon ist meiner Meinung nach das Beste am Headset. Der Sound ist sehr klar und nicht blechern. Die Steuertaste am Kopfhrer zum Stummschalten ist ebenfalls sehr praktisch.
Sound:
Hier gibt es von mir leider einen Sterneabzug. Die Kopfhrer sind fr Gesprche, Podcasts und einige Musikrichtungen ganz gut und sehr klar, aber kaum Bass, was fr manche Musikrichtungen, Filme und Games einfach fehlt…
I’ve tried several different manufacturers/models and for me, this is the best combination of price, features and general quality out there.
Unlike several competitors, these are the only XBox certified wireless I’ve found that work seamlessly with both the Xbox One and X Box Series X (obviously on that last one I’m taking SteelSeries and XBox word for it, as today is Halloween, and I’ve got 10 days to wait for shiny new Series X, though you tubers vids look promising).
Many that claim to be wireless still require you to run a 3.5mm cable to your controller for mic usage in games, this model does not – it pairs to the Xbox in exactly the same way as your controller – press button on headset, press ‘pair’ button on front of X console, ‘et voila!’ (you even receive an official message on screen at this point ‘ ‘headset assigned’).
Further features –
– Discord certified mic (very clear)
– Dolby Atmos (just download the XBox Dolby Atmos app and set up for brilliant sound)
– Allows Bluetooth connection, so you can listen to music / take phone calls at the same time as a gaming session)
– ‘Ski Goggle’ style headband, which I’ve found very comfortable in long gaming sessions
– Windows PC can be connected by purchasing a XBox wireless adaptor for your PC (similar to that used to connect an XBox controller to a W10 PC)
All in all, I highly recommend this product! – Happy gaming
Excellent for gaming. Sound is great they are extremely comfortable and they don’t hurt your head/ears over time. However for music on your phone they lack the quality and it sounds tinny. The mic is crisp and great quality.
Okay, so a bit of a wierd one. I cannot fault the headphones at all. The sound quality is amazing compared to anything else in its price bracket. Although its made from all plastics it doesn’t feel cheap. This is honestly a great product.
The only thing stopping me giving 5 stars is the adjustment in the headband. There is basically none. For 90% of people this won’t be a problem but if like me you have a larger head I would stay away (I had to send mine back)
I use to hear footsteps in call of duty warzone. 4 stars as sometimes it’s hard to tell what direction the sound is coming from, other than that perfec
The head strap provides huge range of adjustment, takes a little getting used to but much more customizable than my previous Corsair Void or the Turtle Beaches before that. Battery seems to be lasting well, not as good as promised online but I’ll still easily get 12-14 hours from it. Charges quickly and the LED indicator blinks different colours to show roughly how much battery is left which is nifty.
Base station is a little on the cheap side, hard to get it to sit flat out of the box because it’s so light and the cable has been rolled up – could do with a 50g weight in it to help with that. Range is excellent for my use – semi-deatched house, base station in the front bedroom and I can go anywhere including about all of the front garden and the back patio before anything gets fuzzy.
Retractable microphone is very, very convenient. No noise cancelling on this model (Artics 7), but sidetone helps a bit although it would be nice if you could boost it up a bit more. The chat/game mix is very useful but it would have been handy if the software properly explained what it does, it took me a few minutes to realise that actually you get 2 sound devices – chat and game – and can manually adjust the slider between the two. Really useful if someone is boring the pants off you on Discord and you don’t want to appear rude by muting up.
Overall well worth the outrageous price tag. You get what you pay for.
My stepson loves these! Will be ordering another for my partner for Christmas. Amazing sound and quality.
Son bought them. He’s impressed. Can’t hear nothing when their on. Sturdy and large. Lovely
Bought these for my son great set of headphones but he had a complete nightmare setting them up
My son uses this headset for gaming on his PS4, he loves it, he says it’s so much better than his other headset as it’s clearer to hear and blocks out noise from around him
Fit is Good, Sound is Great, Looks Amazing, Cable is long and can be replaced. 10/10 Best headset I’ve ever owned.
MY SON GOT THESE SO HE COULD KEEP A BIT QUIET ON HIS X BOX
his is a good headset for the PC
Can sit with them one for a long time and not pain at all
Sound it good and mic being about to tuck away is so handy
would i recommend them YES! i would
I bought the headphones about a month ago. I use it for gaming as well as for online conferences. The sound is brilliant for it’s price. It feels comfortable although I wear spectacles. The mic quality is also good! The only thing that I would wish for is that it would have similar volume controls like the Arctis 5 (you can control the volume between video and chat easily). But this is just something minor. Although the Arctis 5 may be a bit fancier and pricier and the Arctis 1 is cheaper and has slightly less functions, I personally think the Arctis 3 is a good middle ground between these two options (also read and watch many reviews online). I really like the extra 3.5mm audio jack near the microphone. It allows you to plug in any other earphone and the earphone will listen to what the headphone is hearing (like an audio splitter for two earphones). This is a really cool function. I also bought this from Amazon Warehouse and I got it in mint condition! Really happy with my purchase.
I bought these for my husband’s birthday. He says they are very comfortable and the sound is great. He uses them for PlayStation and pc. Great buy.
Now the disappointing part. CONSTANT DISCONNECTION. Halfway through Team Deathmatch with your pals having a right laugh about targeting a particularly annoying camper and boom, all sound is off. Cue the part you have to turn them off, get up, hold the connection button on the Xbox then hold the button on the headphones and wait for the “Headphones Assigned” banner to pop up.. only for it to do it again!! SteelSeries say it’s due to the 5Ghz Router, so I switched to 2.4Ghz and guess what? Same story. Turns out it’s the Laptop, the Nintendo Switch, my damn phone which is disrupting the connection. Cons of living in a 1 bed flat I guess. Frustrated me so much I returned these after a mere 36hours.. back to the Turtle Beaches until the Razer Kraken TE turn up. Going to have to stick to wired! Not their fault, hence the 4 stars.
In my opinion, Buy these if you live far enough away from ANYTHING that produces ANY kind of frequency. Otherwise Stick with wired.
Bought these for my teenage son for his gaming console. He is very happy with them. Fits comfortably over the ear and sound quality excellent. Sturdy and robust. Good value for money. Arrived on time. Would recommend.
Very nice and comfortable. I use them all the time
super casque, confortable ! je porte des lunettes et je ne suis pas gn par les branches de celle-ci ! effectivement j’ai trouver la prsence d’un lger sifflement mais en diminuant le retour micro du casque cela s’attnue nettement. les 2 batteries sont vraiment trs bien, c est d’ailleurs ce qui m’a fait choisir ce casque. j’ai trouver le prix lev (mme pendant les black friday) cependant je garde mes casques assez longtemps ! chat mix bien present, cela dit a baisse le son du jeux pour augmenter le son du chat et vice-versa. connection Usb pour alimenter le boitier et connection optique pour le son ! connectivit bluetooth on peu jouer sur la console et couter la musique en bluetooth en mme temps (voir recevoir un appel en jouant) compatible android et ps4 (ancienne version quipe d’une prise optique, car les version ps4 slim ne sont pas quips de prise optique).
content du produit malgr le prix lev, j’attends de voir la longvit bien que ce casque soit d’apparence assez solide.
I bought it for comfort which is great and was surprised with good sound quality and microphone quality and the fact the microphone hides well enough to forget it was there.
They do the job well, he is very pleased with him and can be heard well and I’ll see is friends.
Features that we particularly like are the fact that you can turn voices down and gameplay up and vice versa, see you can get it to just the right level especially if you’ve got a particularly noisy friend playing!
I liked the fact that it came with the attachment you need to plug into the switch. This meant he was able to get going straight away with it and I didn’t have to pay out front thing else. It was an all in price. We also discovered that the attachment fits the bottom of an iPhone, and into the side about Mac book laptop. These are added bonuses and places where we can also use headphones.
Another handy feature is the fact that you can have it wired if you wanted to, and you can remove the microphone as it inserts like a headphone jack. This means that you can use them as Bluetooth headphones on listening to music et cetera.
I should’ve had a little at the price, but they are undoubtedly great quality, versatile and therefore definitely worth the outlay.
I read all the reviews before going ahead with the purchase, and you can get bogged down in the detail. At the end of the day they do what they meant to, sound quality is good, and the microphone quality is too. It says on the box that they are and microphone also used by long haul freight flights because of their excellent noise cancelling capabilities, I have no idea if this is indeed the case, however it made my son extremely excited!
To pair them just use the sync button on the console like a controller. Once that’s done they will always connect as long as you have them on when your Xbox boots up.
For me they sound fine, very pleased that I can connect to the Xbox one and have music play from my phone at the same time. Saves me having to put music on my console.
They do have their quirks which why I didn’t give 5 stars. I assumed I would be able to use them separately with just my phone through bluetooth but so far haven’t been able to.
I’ve also noticed that while they are connected to the Xbox one they can’t be turned off by the power button. You have to turn the console off and then turn them off by the power button. Not a big issue just seems strange.
They also won’t connect to your Windows PC computer without official wireless xbox adapter. (Found out after buying them).
I haven’t really tested the microphone but I’m sure it’s serviceable. Microsoft have already said that these headphones will be compatible with the Xbox Series X (So they are future proof).
All in all if you want headphones that are noise cancelling and comfortable with glasses on I’d recommend these. Maybe try and find them there’s a deal on though.
Buone ma non come credevo. Migliori a mio avviso delle HyperX Cloud II, che ho girato ai miei figli per la Playstation.
Ho provato anche le Steelseries Arctic 3, ma a mio avviso tutte e tre le cuffie sono sbilanciate sui bassi, sempre troppo presenti ed invasivi. Da questo punto di vista erano meglio delle Trust che ho usato per anni che avevano un suono pi pulito e cristallino. Qualcuno trasecoler a questa affermazione, ma purtroppo ormai molta gente non capisce molto di suono, ma solo di “boom-boom-boom”, bassi pompati a mille. Scordatevi di sentire bene la musica con queste (certo, sempre meglio della media degli auricolari per telefono)
Was soll ich sagen, schon dieses “einfache” Arctis 3 macht alles besser.
Sehr guter Tragekomfort, ich mchte keinen Bgel mehr auf meinem Kopf sondern nur noch dieses Band. Wahnsinn!
Die Ohrposlter passen perfekt, wirklich nichts fhlt sich strend an. Allgemein sitzt das Headset Federleicht auf dem Kopf. Des weiteren Isolieren die Ohrmuscheln sehr gut. Top
Klang sehr klar und authentisch! Richtig richtig gut, Hhen kommen sehr gut und Bsse sind nicht bertrieben.
Mikrofon hat eine Wahnsinns Qualitt.
-> Der Clou, der Mikro-Arm lsst sich in der linken Ohrmuschel verstauen, er muss auch nicht ganz drauen sein fr perfekte Mikrofon Qualitt.
Ich betreibe dieses Headset nicht am Onbard Soundchip Mist(jeder Onboard Sound ist schrott) sondern an einem Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S!
Absolut klasse dieses Headset.
I brought this headset to replace an old headset and was not disappointed the sound quality is amazing and mic quality is great works well will xbox one
Verarbeitung & Komfort:
In diesen beiden Punkten ist es definitiv ganz weit vorne und man merkt an vielen kleinen aber sorgfltigen Details wie dem Skibrillen-Kopfband, dem sportlichen Material der Ohrmuscheln, einfahrbaren Mikrofon samt Lautstrkeregler oder wechselbaren Klinken-Kabeln, dass der Hersteller definitiv Erfahrung hat und sich einige Gedanken machte. Der einzige Kritikpunkt ist, dass es an den Ohren relativ wenig Spielraum lsst und teils sogar unangenehmen Druck auf die Ohrmuschel ausbt bzw. generell etwas klein geraten ist, wenn man grere Ohren sein eigen nennt.
Tonqualitt:
Seitens der Tonqualitt ist es auch klar berdurchschnittlich gut und besonders im Bereich der hohen Frequenzen ist es fr die Preisklasse schon beinahe ausgezeichnet aber auch der Mittelbereich ist sehr gut ausbalanciert. Dies sorgt im groen und ganzen fr einen doch klaren und “knackigen” Sound, wie man ihn im Gaming will. Wer allerdings einen Allrounder sucht bzw. etwas, womit er fters auch mal die Gehrgnge mit Musik “massieren” kann, ist nur mittelmig bedient. Das liegt an den verhltnismig kleineren Lautsprechern, wo dann eine gewisse Lautstrke sowie Druck seitens Bass oder tiefer Tne fehlt.
Mikrofon:
Die Spracherkennung ist przise und funktioniert sehr gut, genauso wie die Unterdrckung von Umgebungsgeruschen. In Sachen Stimmprofil ist es sehr klar bzw. eher leicht hell und ein Rauschen oder hnliches war bei Testaufnahmen etc. nicht wahrzunehmen aber von Studioqualitt, wie sie es anpreisen, ist man noch Welten entfernt. Nichts desto trotz, fr die abendliche Runde mit Freunden in TS oder Discord definitiv ein gutes Mikrofon aber auch nichts besonderes verglichen zur Konkurrenz im gleichen Segment.
Fazit:
Im groen und ganzen ist es ein sehr gutes Headset, besonders in Punkto Gaming, wenn auch mit ein paar kleinen Schwchen bei Komfort bzw. Allround-Nutzung. Allerdings werden die wieder wettgemacht durch fast regelmige Angebote bzw. Rabatte, wo man dann wirklich nur noch “Zuschlagen.” sagen kann.
These headphones were worth every penny I spent on them, being only 88 when I got them I was unsure as most people said headphones above 100 are the best usually as long as they’re branded, now despite this being somewhat true, I decided to get these as it was steelseries and it looked great, waited a few days for them to get here and behold, I’m still using them 2 weeks later with no issues and great quality.
Christmas Gift for my gaming son ! Checked to make sure working before sending to Santa. No issues, great quality
-Confortevoli: non fanno sudare d’estate, traspirano bene ma allo stesso tempo isolante in maniera eccellente. In piu la sua forma permette di non avere fastidi alla nuca con l’archetto superiore. Neanche sono troppo pesanti, anzi.
-Audio: perfetto. Volume equilibrato, e toni alti e bassi molto ben bilanciato. Utilizzato in Rainbow Six, Battlefield e CoD: fanno quel che devono egregiamente!
-Microfono: ho provato a risentire la mia voce confrontandola con altre cuffie e trasmette bene il feedback sonoro agli altri utenti. In pi e estraibile per chi non ama microfoni stratosferici laterali, con tasto ulteriore di spegnimento ogni qualvolta vogliate.
-Prezzo: ero indeciso con un modello della Corsair, le ho pagate in offerta 54, e devo dire che a questo prezzo le ricomprerei anche domani. A distanza di circa 2 anni (le tengo accuratamente) non ha subito nessun tipo di danneggiamento o usura.
Sinceramente sento di dare tutti voti positivi alla SteelSeries, perche acquistando questo modello ho preso le piu economiche della serie. Quindi non immagino le altre. Complimenti.
Or if you don’t care about the 7.1 surround(that works only on windows) go for it.
Its sound quality is quite awesome and when you wear it, you don’t even feel that there is a headphone in your head – Light weight.
It doesn’t cause a bit of pain even if you are wearing it for pretty much longer hours too.
Some of the Major things that this lacks (that I have noticed) :
* The 7.1 Surround is only supported in Windows, if you have a mac or something else, it doesn’t work(Still the sound quality is good )
* The cable length – its quite short.
* The cable quality isn’t that much great – for the price that you pay, it could have been better.
Sounds great and I love the adjustable mic. Great price as well. Definitely recommend
I really really like these headphones, they are extremely comfy! Sound quality is also amazing!
I bought 7 headsets and had problems with each one don’t know why people are so negative about these, they are amazing for the price weight, comfort and least clamping. I spent hours on a review site to find the best headphones and these are the best.
De plus l’armature du casque est plus haute que la sangle rglable, ce qui donne un style … rigolo
Donc je pense qu’il est excellent pour couter du son, mais pas en enregistrer, et cela chez soi
C’tait juste deux lgers dtails noter, sinon TOP !!
PS : il est trs trs rsistant, mettant dj assise dessus par mgarde x)
Very light, great quality product that can be used with hours very easily (comfortable)
Listening and voice levels are very low though, had to boost mic and ensure is close to face, otherwise good
Second pair purchased. Draws for me were surround sound for consoles, retractable mic and, since people like to break things around here, the ability to buy new cables separately. Sound, to me, is excellent and I couldn’t be happier.
My 13 years old son is very happy with them. Good sound and the mic can be push in and out.
Been using those for a while now, The sound and the Build of the Headset are great .
Very comfy to use for hours on end, usually i would get sweat around my ears after a while using those kind of Headset, But with this one it did not even happen once.
Wonderful Product.
Build quality is amazing, audio is great but sum issues with the mic
This product is very comfortable and has great volume control depending on what level you’d like it o
My son love these – sound quality crystal clear. Couldn’t be happie
good audio quality but to register this product on a steelseries app i need a code and i didnt recieve i
First of all, watch some reviews before you buy. If you want an Arctis the 5 or 7 might be what you’d prefer but for me the extra features weren’t worth it.
The headphones themselves are very neutral looking, simplistic, sleek, and you wouldn’t tell they were anything other than your everyday headphones till you put them on. They are very comfortable on the head with the headband and if you need to take them off, the speakers gyrate 90 degrees inwards so they can rest comfortably around your neck. The sound quality is good as well.
My only problem with the headphones is that they are a 3.5mm jack so they don’t have the sound-card. This isn’t a problem if your plugging them into a console controller or a phone but if you’re using them on a PC you might find they’re quite and you might save some money on other alternatives that provide sound-cards such as the Hyper X Cloud. Otherwise, you may have to buy an external sound-card like I did.
