    One major design flaw, but mostly a high-quality headset.
    4 Stars
    One major design flaw, but mostly a high-quality headset.
    I owned this headset for 20 months, until it literally fell apart on me. The major design flaw is how they connect the earpiece to the headband. It's a very narrow connection and the head band and the earpieces have some heft to them. Just the other day, I went to adjust my mixer and volume settings and I felt a crack near the dial on the left earpiece. By the time the play session ended it suffered catastrophic failure and the earpiece was left dangling by a wire and was no longer wearable. I have some other minor issues as well. It seemed that the mixer and volume dials would constantly change between the end of one session and the beginning of another session. I have no idea how that happened, but I always hung it up after a session. It was a bit of a nuisance to have to keep adjusting it every time I started a session. The other issue I had was with band not fitting snuggly, which would cause it to slide a lot on my head. If I leaned forward or backward there was a chance of the entire headset falling off my head. I had originally ordered this for use with my XBox One X and had no issues with setting it up, but when I went to transfer it to my XBox Series X I had a bit of difficulty linking the two devices. I also rarely ran into issues with the headset turning itself off shortly after turning it on and needed to be turned on again.Some of the good was it was very comfortable. I felt it breathed nice and was much cooler than other headsets I had purchased. The cushion on the earpieces was made of a very nice material and doesn't erode and fall apart like other headsets that may use that pleather-like coating, making it all nasty. I also liked the retractable mouthpiece and how it lit up on the tip when you had it on mute.I fully expected this headset to last way longer than 20 months and thought it would last at least 5 years. I really wish I got the service plan, but that's just my luck, I guess. If it wasn't for it falling apart all of a sudden within a couple years of purchase, I would have given this my strongest recommendation. Alas, that didn't happen; and I'd only recommend buying this if you plan to get the service plan as well.

    Pros:
    - Great audio quality
    - Has 3 different connection methods and you can use all of then simultaneously: Bluetooth, 3.5mm jack (no mic available) and Xbox connection (console or Xbox dongle). This is the main reason I bought this one over other premium headphones, I use 3 devices (PC via Xbox dongle, android via 3.5mm jack and iPhone via Bluetooth). I control the volume in each of the device's audio system separately and the volume wheel in the headphone is a separated master volume, so it works perfectly.
    - The mic in the Xbox mode is one of the best I experienced for wireless mics. Of course it is not as good as an wired high quality mic, but it's really good (I don't have an Xbox, but I use an Xbox dongle on PC).
    - Long battery life. I use it all day long and charge it at night. The battery does last more than a day, but it dies in the middle/end of the second day of use.
    - Comfortable, but nothing extraordinary like some reviews I saw before buying said. The headband is adjustable and I had some difficult to find the right setting (the headphone would start falling from my head if I tilted it down a little at first), but no problems after I found it.
    - The headphone works while charging.

    Cons:
    - The mic in Bluetooth mode is really bad, use the Xbox mode Bluetooth if you care about this.
    - While the Bluetooth mic is in use, the audio you listen to will also be bad, like phone call quality (the quality changes from Stereo to Hands-Free mode). This is a limitation of the current Bluetooth technology, all Bluetooth headphone have this problem. This problem also doesn't happen in Xbox mode, only Bluetooth.
    - The secondary volume wheel didn't work. It was supposed to control volume ratio game/voice call. Maybe it only works for Xbox (I don't have one), it didn't work when I tried on phone calls and Discord. I don't really care for this, so I didn't ask for warranty.
    - You don't have access to the mic in the 3.5mm jack connection mode.
    - Noise suppression is not that good.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019
    I purchased these despite the reported issues with connectivity. And I noticed when I purchased it I had no offer to add a protection plan. This was concerning.

    I received my headset and charged them, but they appeared fully charged. I then hooked them up to my laptop to adjust the settings and check for firmware updates. Surprisingly, there was no update and I appear to have the same version that has been out with reported issues.
    Knowing that I didn't want to use the Bluetooth feature and after reading about others experience. I decided to disable the Bluetooth auto connect feature in the steelseries engine.

    I synched my headset to my Xbox and viola! They certainly sound great. The volume isn't excessive, but that's probably for the best. They sound fantastic and I noticed directional audio was very good.

    After one match in the new COD MW. I was in the menu when I noticed the first sign of crackling.

    I grew concerned considering the price tag.
    But I continued. The crackling would occasionally occur, more commonly with the menu soundtrack.

    Then in game there were a few instances of the audio momentarily dropping.

    I was trying anything I could think to determine the cause. I tried turning off Bluetooth devices around me.

    It was then I notice it happens more when I move abruptly. This made me fear it was a hardware issue such as loose parts.

    After giving up to find the cause of the issue, I continued playing.

    At some point the headset disconnected entirely despite still being powered on. I was sure I was going to return them at this point.

    But I wanted to game. So after reading guidance I found online. I shut off the headset. Hard reset my console. And smoked a cigarette.

    Since I turned it on after this, I have had no issues. Even if I move my head more than I naturally would.

    Now this was about 18 hours ago. I'm about to use them again and hope there are no issues.

    If it's a firmware issue I don't mind waiting for an update. Because if I have no more issues, then the troubles I had in the first few hours after initially connecting no longer occur. Then these deserve 5 stars.

    I may update my review of anything changes. I bought them with confidence the connectivity issues have had ample time to be addressed and resolved. However I did have the same reported issues initially.

    If they don't have anymore connection issues, these are hands down 5 stars.

    This may be the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. And they sound great.
    For the price, I expect the quality. And if the connection issues persist then the headset is unbearable to use. I hope they last and I don't run into many more issues.

    I definitely recommend them. The only caveat is the present connection issues that commonly occur. If you get a pair, try what I did and troubleshoot. Because now that they have been working, I'm very happy with them. I'm hoping they continue to work well because it would be sad for such a great product to become useless due to one significant flaw.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great headset with some small quirks
    Reviewed in Canada on May 9, 2021
    *Updated July 2023. 4 stars updated to 5*

    A few days in and here's my thoughts:
    Note: using this on an Xbox Series X

    Pros:
    • Great neutral sound. Coming from the ATH-M50x this has a part similar soundscape. Just a tad bit lower on the bass in comparison. There are 4 EQ modes: flat, bass Boost, smile, and focus but I stick to the flat as I don't like to alter tone at all.
    • Easy to adjust. Going with the ski band setup makes it easy to get the best fit
    • Comfortable in long periods. I've worn them for hours on end with glasses and experienced no discomfort.
    • Long battery life. I charge my headset and controller every night just because I'm wary of having to swap out but they definitely last for long periods of time even with Bluetooth connected
    *** 2 years in and battery is still going strong. Still haven't had it die on me except one time where I didn't charge overnight.

    • Bluetooth connectivity. Honestly maybe the biggest selling point for me. The ability to hear phone audio and game audio is a game changer. Before I'd try to work out a setup using a headphone splitter to get both audio to my headset at the same time but this is as simple as can be.
    • Clear mic. I haven't been able to test out things like background noise cancellation but you will definitely be heard loud and clear with this one.
    • Visual indicator for mic on/off. A little point to be made but one I love, the mic will glow red when the mic is muted.

    The cons:
    • Power integration with Xbox is very weird. If you turn on the headset it will turn on your Xbox. If you turn off your Xbox before turning off the headset it will wake your console back up. There is just no need for either of these to happen.
    *** It no longer turns your Xbox back on when you turn it on after your Xbox but it still wakes up your Xbox when powered on, which actually turns out is usually the way I wake up my system. So maybe not so much a con anymore.

    • Lack of controls on Xbox. I'm used to being able to control headset and mic settings visually and this doesn't work due to the physical buttons on the headset. Things like game-party volume, overall headset volume and turning the mic on and off have controls on the headset, but apparently to control mic monitoring volume I have to configure it on PC.
    *** Turns out this isn't as important to me 2 years in.

    • Not the best fit for my head. I just have a weird shaped head which makes many head accessories difficult. This headset in particular wants to slope back and sit very close to the back of my head.
    *** This is still an annoyance honestly.

    • Micro USB port. Come on, there's no reason to be using anything but USB-C now. This is the only device I own now that I need a micro usb cable for.
    *** Still true. Would have been nice to have USB-C as I only have a micro usb cable around to charge this.

    • Lays flat the wrong way. When I take the headset off my head and put it in front of me I'd expect it to lay flat that way. Instead I need to turn it 180 to lay it flat. I don't see the point in this.

    • Lack of spatial sound options on Xbox. This is more a dig at the other companies but Windows Sonic seems to be the only option for spatial sound, as DTS and Dolby Atmos require a wired connection as it seems.
    *** I think this has been fixed?

    • Narrow room for volume control. It feels very hard to get precise amounts dialed in for the voice/game volume audio and I find myself fiddling around trying to dial it in while playing Apex Legends while in party chat.
    *** Still find myself fiddling around with it cause it's not intuitive which direction is game audio and which is chat

    I'll probably have to come back to this in a while to see how they hold up long term but they have been worth it for me so far.

    *** New notes July 2023:

    • Sometimes will partially disconnect itself and requires you to press the home button on the Xbox controller to reconnect. Can't seem to figure out why this happens.

    • Just sometimes powers back off after you turn it on. Doesn't seem to happen while gaming for a while, only when powering on randomly.

    About a half year ago I broke the right ear cup off while in a, uhhh, heated gaming session. I ended up screwing it back into the arm after attempts to glue it with multiple methods all failed. In that time I never considered a different brand or model of headset and would have bought this again if it were unfixable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor headset para Xbox One
    Reviewed in Mexico on July 9, 2019
    Hasta ahora estoy bastante satisfecho con estos audífonos para videojuegos y voy a puntualizar pros y contras.
    Pros:
    -Sonido: que no quede duda, la calidad de sonido de este headset es muy superior, incluso a algunas marcas bastante reconocidas en calidad de audio (tengo un Sennheiser GSP 600 y no pensé que nada sonaría mejor, pues el 9x si lo hace) de verdad escuchas todo alrededor y puedes saber de donde viene, básico para quieres jugamos FPS y Battle Royales
    -Micrófono: El micrófono tiene una calidad impecable y un sonido muy claro, puedes ajustar el volumen del mismo y el monitoreo (escucharte a ti mismo, para evitar gritar) en la app para la computadora.
    -Estructura: El marco del headset es de acero inoxidable lo cual lo hace sentir bastante resistente, el resto es plástico, sin embargo los materiales se sienten de muy buena calidad. La banda elástica es textil.
    -Completamente inalámbrico, no dependes de ningún accesorio para conectarlo (solo Xbox one, para pc necesitas el adaptador inalámbrico)
    -Comodidad: puedo pasar horas con este headset y la sensación de tenerlo puesto es mínima, comparado con otros headsets que tengo que son pesados o ejercen mucha presión sobre la cabeza u orejas. Los cojines de las orejas dejan respirar la piel y no guardan el calor como otros materiales (piel, vinilo)
    -Conectividad Bluetooth: Al tener integración Bluetooth puedes conectarlo a tu smartphone o computadora y puedes recibir llamadas, escuchar música o audio del equipo al que estes conectado mientras juegas.
    Contras:
    -Versatilidad: Es un headset diseñado exclusivamente para Xbox y Windows así que no puede usarse en PS4 o Nintendo Switch.
    -Rango de señal: La señal inalámbrica de este headset no es tan buena como la de los controles inalámbricos, el headset se desconecta del Xbox a una menor distancia que los controles inalámbricos y al regresar al rango casi nunca se reconecta de forma automática. La señal Bluetooth tiene un rango muy bueno.
    -Precio: Es un headset en rango de precio Premium, la verdad es poco accesible.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody brilliant!
    Reviewed in Australia on April 2, 2021
    It is absolutely stellar sound. It seems to last forever before it needs a charge.
    My only changes i would make for it is perhaps noise cancellation althougg it is good to have an idea whats going on around you and if it went a touch louder i wouldnt be apposed to that.
    Other than that i say it is comfy as. Wrap one around your head and tell me its not sensational mate.

    If you are disillusioned with headsets with mixamps or dedicated boxes, using this with Microsoft Sonic or Dolby Atmos is a perfect replacement

    5.0 out of 5 stars Antes de comprarlo
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 12, 2023
    Hola compre este headset hace poco, con la mentalidad de usarlo en pc y xbox. Estuve usandolo durante una semana apróx donde el artículo dejo de funcionar en su totalidad, no sé a que se deba pero les diré mis experiencia antes de que lo compres. Es un muy buen headset, sirve MUY bien con xbox tiene un buen sonito y la configuración es bastante cómoda. Ahora para pc debes de comprar un adaptador, de lo contrario no va funcioanr del todo, si juegas lol, ves videos y tienes paciencia, no lo dudes compralo. Pero si quieres juagar (Apex, r6, etc) debes si o si comprar el USB para que sea funcional al 100% SOLO pc. Lo recomiendo mucho, aunque para mí que haya dejado de funcionar de la nada sin razón alguna, no volveré a steelseries por un rato. No soy un profesional pero solo es mi humilde opinión, suerte a todos :)
