VERY good Wireless Gaming Headset!
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.

Very good gaming headset on par, probably better than Astro A50
I've had this for a couple months now on my PS4 and am quite satisfied. I'm coming from a Gen 1 A50 that I've used for a very long time. The main reason I purchased is for the battery life and swapping feature. I typically go days without swapping, but if for some reason I forgot to swap, I can do so quickly and continue gaming. With A50's you need to plug in to charge. My old A50's battery life was a couple hours at most even after a new battery replacement. Granted, I know the new A50's get much better battery life, on par with the Arctis, but it's a plus nevertheless. I really appreciate never having to be tethered. BTW, swapping batteries on Astros are not easy, so that's another benefit of swappable batteries - you can just buy new ones if they eventually run out of charges. The sound quality is different than the Astros. Astros were definitely more bass heavy, but I quickly got used to the tighter sound on the Arctis. They definitely sound more crisp. Another difference is that the earcups on the Arctis are much more isolating. Again, it's different, not better or worse. However, while talking, you can still hear your own voice with the Sidetone feature that let's you set how much of your own voice you want to hear through your headset. I set mine very low, but you can turn off altogether if you want. Supposedly the mic quality on the Arctis is better than the Astros from what I read, but I don't really care since I don't listen to myself. Everyone heard me fine with both. One feature I really do miss is the flip up mic on the A50's. This is a tactile, binary mute indicator. I always knew I was muted with it flipped up. On the Arctis, there is a red light on the mic that indicates mute, but I have to actually look at a reflection to visually confirm its muted. On the plus side, it's nice to completely retract the mic so it's not even there on the Arctis. Not as crisp a design as the flip up/mute mic though. As far as comfort, they both felt good, neither stood out more than the other. For build quality, I prefer the Arctis surprisingly. The buttons and wheels just feel crisper. It seems like a more durable design at the key weak points as well. The two headsets are pretty close in all ways, just different. Aside from the battery swap which I think is the best, most practical feature for a wireless headset, there are a couple other things that made me choose this one over the A50 gen 3. The customizability of sound in the easy to reach mixer is nice but I don't change settings much myself. I heard the charging stand for the A50 is inconsistent and fussy, which makes total sense if you are trying to line up charging points. Also, it's a 3 year old headset at this point. Maybe gen 4 will blow us all away, but I needed a new one now. Another thing that's a plus on the Arctis is the bluetooth capability. I thought I would use it more, but haven't had the need yet in my setup. I have a dedicated BT headset and I just swap when I need to make a call. It could be useful if you don't have multiple headsets though. Overall, I am very satisfied with the headset. Sounds great, comfortable, and battery for days (recreational gamer), and quick swapping if you run out. But I would probably also be almost as satisfied with an updated A50.

Features are cool but it's disappointed me from the beginning.
The main chink in this Headset's armor is in the construction. The plastic that attaches the ear cups to each side of the metal headband has been designed poorly and can crack while taking the headset on and off your head. Especially it can be an issue if you have a big head . Mine Cracked. You think SteelSeries would cover it under warranty? WRONG! I tried to have SteelSeries perform a warranty for the defect and they told me no. They dont warranty that. On a 300$+ headset this is just unacceptable. And it gets worse. The drivers for the headset seem to be made so cheaply that the material crinkles when experiencing any pressure applied from taking the headsets on or off your head. Or even just pushing them down onto your ears. It was THE FIRST thing i noticed when i pulled them out of the box. For a High-fidelity headset - just why? The sidetone has also been a problem from the beginning. I went from using a simple 50$ Sony PS4 wireless headset to this and I expected the sidetone to just "work". With this headset, the sidetone was either really quiet or distorted. Their customer support was equally unhelpful with this. I think later they added a side tone control slider in the settings of the DAC... but for most of this headset's life, i've dealt with distorted sidetone (which by the way was NOT distorted to the users in game experiencing my microphone. So cool - only make me miserable. got it) The DAC that came with it also connects with a mini-USB cable. Doesnt SteelSeries know that USB-C is a thing? or at least Micro-USB. (of course they do. it's in their arctis nova pro wireless. but cmon. I bought this in 2020!) What if i need a long cable? Here i am buying a 10 ft USB-A to Micro-USB in 2020 To never be used again. if it were USB-C, I could at least repurpose the cable for other uses once i retire the headset. It's just insult to injury for an already expensive headset. The DAC also uses an OLED display. Hooray, right? Wrong! They didn't originally program a screen timeout function so if this was plugged into constant power (which it was), the volume level is constantly on display and incidentally BURNS itself into the screen. What else. OH! for some reason, the headset's software, SteelSeries GG, doesnt identify the headset in macOS so anything you wanted to do in-software, forget it. So if you want to have one headset that you use for both your Macbook PRO for work and gaming PC for home, you're out to lunch. This is still a thing with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless as well! it's sort of detecting it, but any time you launch the configuration for the headset, it gives you sync up errors and closes the software. Nice one SteelSeries. As for the good, it allows you to connect to multiple devices. You can connect to say your PS5 and PC. Cool. not many headsets do that. It ALSO allows you to pair the headset via bluetooth whilst connected to those sources. Have you ever been on your phone in a Discord call while playing with your friend on PC from your PS4/5 feeling like you have to chose between hearing the game audio or your friend. It's a thing of the past. Have you ever had your partner call in the middle of a gaming session where now you're scrambling to find the mute button on your tv/receiver/soundbar just so you can pickup the call and talk to them? What if you could still hear your game AND talk to your partner? That's a thing. it's amazing. Has your headset ever died in the middle of team play banishing you from being able to talk to them until the headset charges up? or maybe pushing you to have to go wired? This headset has a backup battery that charges in the DAC so you can hot-swap. Great! Do i recommend this headset though? HELLL NO. Buy the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. DO NOT waste your time with this headset. And trust me, I feel really conflicted telling you to buy their newest headset instead of telling you to avoid the brand entirely based on my experience; However, they seemed to have fixed MOST (not all) of the design flaws from this headset in the newest iteration: - They've redesigned the headband system so the weak-link plastic is no more. - They've improved the material in the Drivers so the crinkling has mostly gone away. Sidetone is improved! - They've added Noise Cancelling (which for some users is bad because of how they chose to implement it essentially adding a microphone inside the earcup. It sticks out and pokes some unfortunate user's ears. This can be mitigated by getting 3rd party, larger ear cups) - It comes with two USB-C Ports which is a huge improvement (which still has issues because of the whole xbox/ps5 versions thing) **TLDR... XBOX has it's own, proprietary transmission protocol for their headsets so you have to get an XBOX version of the headset which hobbles one of the USB-C Ports on the back to only be fully compatible with xbox. not great if you want to be able to in the future use it for anything else other than an xbox and something else. Dont say I didnt warn you** They have, however, unfixed the oled display timeout fix on their DAC. Currently there is no way to time-out the display to prevent screen burn-in. WHY? As i mentioned before the GG Client doesnt really work on apple silicone with this headset. The transparency mode is okaaay. Happy it's here. Wish it was better. Cant speak to whether they've improved their customer experience. Fingers crossed i'll never have to call them. Thanks for listening. Good Luck!

Delivered as Advertised by seller! Amazing Product* (mind the signature fault).
My old Arctis Pro's fatal flaw finally announced itself after 4 years of faithful service and I ventured to replace it rather than get a different model of headphones. The asking price from retailers and Amazon directly was quite a bit higher than I would want, so I looked through the additional sellers and found one described as "Used, Like New" from... I think it was GoldStar electionics or something -- what mattered is that their description of the item's contents and condition was quite a bit deeper than others and I was both satisfied with the cost and condition. My new headset arrived in exactly the order I wanted; I could barely tell it wasn't brand new if not for the original box seal (there was a fresh one for me) being broken. Hoping for another 4 solid years of great sound delivery and convenience -- you can really do anything with this headset since it had onboard dual-channel bluetooth and 2 exchangeable batteries (~7 hr or more each). One word of Warning for the Arctis Pro Wireless: it has a known and extremely fatal flaw with the earcup swivel attachment, LOOK IT UP YOURSELF before you order one so you know what to expect, how to plan around preventing failure as long as possible, or possibly how to repair/cope with the issue). I'd say the headset is worth it, if not just a hair too pricy brand new for a product that has a known critical defect. Get it on sale or in Like New condition and you'll be happy. Great for PC use, Bluetooth on the go, and PlayStation if you're into that. Bluetooth and double-swappable-battery is an amazing experience that's hard to let go of!

Such obvious design flaws. But still objectively the best headset I own
This product could have been the game-changer to dominate this market segment but now, it's just another good headset that might not be for you if you have slightly advanced needs, but is you are a basic user these are just the best headphones ever. Firstly, don't be fooled by the IO on the base station: This headset is wireless and unlike most competitors (excluding the astro headsets) the transceiver is not a USB dongle but instead is a base station device that sits on your desk. As you can see from the photos the base station can receive it's audio from different sources. So you can listen to audio from the your computer via the USB input or from an AUX input via the Line in jack. You will also notice there is a line out jack. This is meant to be for your speakers. The normal functionality of this jack is that when you power-off the headphones the base station will route the audio through to the line-out jack (and thus your speakers) automatically. This is great because now you can easily switch between headphones and speakers by pressing one button and without swapping cables. BUT ONLY if you are only receiving audio from the PC via USB. Any audio from the line-in jack does not get routed this way. This is probably not a problem for most people. But I'm a content creator. I have my own external audio solution so all my audio is fed in through the line-in port. So I am unable to use that line-out port at all. And this is such a shame because through some testing you can force audio from the line-in to the line-out (not cleanly) so that means that Steel Series is simply blocking this in the firmware. But countless dead forum threads explaining this to them clearly indicates that they aren't going to do anything about it. Apart from that the headset is great: - One battery last a full day for me and the base station doubles as a battery charger for the spare battery that comes in the box. - The sound is great. Mostly flat profile with an equalizer built into the software. I only gave this section 3 stars because there is an electrical buzz from the drivers whenever the OLED screen on the base station is on. A work-around to this is to set the screen to screen to go to sleep in the software. - This should be obvious, but there is a delay in the sound reaching the headset which is expected with this being a wireless headset. I would guess the delay is about 0.25 seconds) which, if you are using the headset to monitor audio like voice-over, will make it sound like you are speaking in an echo. - Comfort is great. The headset is very light (comes from me using a Logitech G933 for more than a year). I was skeptical of the ski-band style head-rest but it's quite comfy and adjustable. Despite my complaints this is objectively the best headset that I have owned. I have not touched my other phones since purchasing these. If you are someone that just plays games and consumes media then this product will satisfy your every need and more. If your use-case involves doing your audio processing outside your computer then please read the second paragraph again and make sure that this is the product. If your want/need to integrate speakers or monitors purchase a small mixer would be better.

Loved the headphones. Batteries stopped holding a charge after 9 months.
Okay first off let me start by saying that I probably used these headphones to the absolute max that anyone could use them. I work 60+ hours a week teaching lectures online, all of those hours I have to speak with a clear microphone so I can be understood. On TOP of that I also like to game as much as I possibly can. These headphones have been fantastic. I bought a hard case for them and traveled with them, using them for both gaming + remote work. I bought these in November 2021. As of today, July 31st 2022, both of the batteries have stopped holding a charge for more than an hour. I just went to the SteelSeries website and bought replacements, so hopefully they'll last a little longer. (a $20 replacement) but hey, 20 bucks after 9 months of extreme use is pretty impressive in my opinion.. I really hope it's emphasized how many hours I have worn these things on my head. I also have a large head too and these are the only ones that feel somewhat comfortable and don't make me look ridiculous. (most headsets look like a tiny doll headset on a giants head..) Besides this ONE con of the batteries dying, these headphones have been fantastic and have really put up with a lot of wear and tare. I recommend them 100%. I LOVED how it has Bluetooth + transceiver audio at the same time. I could use my PC audio while Bluetooth listening to my Nintendo Switch, or my cell phone, or whatever. That was a huge + for me that I was looking for in a pair of headphones. They're great. -August 3rd update- After doing a lot of test it turns out that the batteries themselves are fine, the headphones are 100% fine, even the dock itself as fart as functioning with my Switch/PC/PS4 is totally fine, but the dock battery charging itself was the problem. I should have realized this when I thought of the odds that both batteries were depleted at the same time... So anyways, I saw online where people said cleaning the prongs and stuff works and fixes this small issue. Which I tried minimally (without taking it apart and using proper tools), and didn't have any luck, so I opted into buying a "UNIVERSAL CELL PHONE BATTERY CHARGER" from ebay for $7 and it works perfectly and does an even better job at keeping my batteries charged. Therefore in conclusion, I stand by what I said and say these headphones are perfectly fine and were heavily used and used well with all features. I love the PC customization capabilities too.

Fantastic, with a couple minor (fixable) drawbacks
Note**If you have glasses you may want to consider alternate ear pads. I've had the headset for about 2 weeks now. So far one of the nicest features is the replaceable parts, not many headsets have that in my experience, and its quite useful. (You can replace the earpads, headband, and earplates) Audio: The sound quality is great, nice rich bass, great range as well. Everything from Music to first person shooters sounds awesome. (I would say slightly better than the Astro A50s I had before these). 9/10 - the max volume honestly isn't THAT loud, if you want to give yourself some sort of hearing problem then these probably aren't going to be loud enough for you. Comfort: The elastic headband is really comfortable so far. I work from home and spend about 12 hours a day with this headset on, it doesn't put enough pressure on the top of my head to start to hurt, which is great. The stock earcups/earpads that these come with are... okay. I wear glasses most of the time, and the ear pads are made out of some kind of synthetic microfiber, which means they breathe well, but they would cause a squeaking noise every time my glasses or the headset shifted (which was actually quite loud). Also I found the stock ear pads did not have enough padding and my ears were touching the plastic plate covering the audio driver (which made my ears ache after about 2 hours). Luckily I was able to just buy a third party set of ear pads which solved both problems, they have more padding and are a synthetic leather, which doesn't make noise on my glasses. So +1 for replaceable parts. 7/10 - earcups could be a bit larger, ear pads need work, headband is great though Mic: The sound quality is fine on this, better than most headset mics I would say, and the retractable feature is great. When you have the mic muted though... it shines this red light, which is kind of annoying if you don't have it retracted because you can see it out of the corner of your eye. 7/9 perfect score (idk it's a headset mic, I don't expect much) Batteries: This system works really well, its amazing not having to plug in my headset every night, I just swap batteries when one starts to die, and charge the other (and it does come with 2). My batteries last about 11-12 of continuous use (EACH). So I do swap batteries once per day. It's also quite easy to swap the batteries, but you will be without audio for about 30 seconds while you swap them around. 9/10 - if the batteries lasted just about 3 hours longer I could literally wake up, put these on and use them all day on a single charge. Construction/Quality: They feel very high quality, lots of metals and dense (not-creaky) plastic. The ear pads felt kind of cheap. Headset 10/10 -- ear pads, 6/10. Wireless: Great range (better than Astro A50 base station by a bit). I have yet to notice any interference, or crackling. So 10/10 here (just in-case you didn't notice (hint hint SteelSeries), the ear pads need some attention)

5 Star wireless on PS4, but 1 Star wired + GameDAC on Win 7 x64 Ultimate PC
We're still using the Arctis Pro Wireless for our PS4. We were happy enough with it there; enough so that I purchased the Arctis Pro + GameDAC Wired headset for my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 gaming machine. That's where things got shady. While advertised as a 7.1 DTS v2 Headset, that's not how it appears to Windows. When going into the sound settings it only shows up as a 5.1 headset. More importantly however It was immediately noticeable that the sound would consistently cut out followed by a loud pop when going through the windows sound configuration and it switching to the center speakers. Unfortunately this wasn't just a fluke since this behavior was also consistent across multiple games. At first I thought I might just have received a bad headset. However, after further investigation, there were other users with the same issue. It looks to be a driver issue identified and a fix promised in a post dated 4 months prior to my purchase of the headset. I had updated to the very latest driver and firmware, so apparently SteelSeries never came out with the promised fix. Frankly if they can't be bothered to correct a problem they knew about that far back then I can't be bothered to buy their products, so I returned them. In addition, I'm not entirely sure but it seemed as if the advertised DTS v2 was only supported in a Windows 10 update. (I'm going by forum posts here, but the SteelSeries Engine on my system only showed DTS, not DTS v2). Music sounded phenomenal on the wired headset, but I bought this primarily for gaming - and it was completely unusable for that purpose. We'll be keeping our Arctis Pro Wireless for our PS4, but I'd advise avoiding the Wired Arctis Pro + GameDAC. Maybe I'm unlucky and just received a bad one, but it certainly seemed like it was a driver support issue. I'll retain my original review for the Arctis Pro Wireless below. We're happy with it on our PS4 Pro, but I don't intend to purchase further products from SteelSeries. Unfortunately Amazon lumps together the reviews for both the Wired and Wireless versions - and since I'm forced to pick one or the other for the number of stars in the review, they get a single star. The wired headset was at best poorly supported and/or defective, and at worst deceptively advertised given that it wasn't even a 7.1 headset even if it *was* working properly. ============================================ I purchased this for my wife as a present for use on our PS4 and her computer. The only real headsets I have to compare this to is my Logitech G933 Artemis that I use on my computer and a couple older headsets. Comparing music on the two I was definitely blown away by the audio quality difference between our Arctis Pro Wireless and the G933. The notes were clear and distinct on the Arctis Pro, and let me appreciate complexities in music that I'd never "heard" before. Even at higher volumes the tones were quite crisp and very clear. The G933, by contrast, was quite "muddy" and indistinct and at higher volumes became rather distorted. (I'm not an audiophile by any means, so my apologies if my description isn't the best). My wife has definitely noticed a major audio difference between this and a cheap headset she'd been using via wired connection to the PS4 controller. Please note though that even if you are buying this for your PS4, you'll need a computer to update the firmware via the USB connection. After installing the SteelSeries software, I had to open it's compatibility settings to run it as Administrator to work and upgrade properly on Windows 7 64bit. This seemed to allow the upgrade to the firmware settings to the latest that I could find listed online and fixed a problem with the microphone volume being too soft on the PS4 even when fully boosted. Folks my wife was gaming with complained that her voice was too soft. Afterwards it seemed fine with the mic boost back down to the mid levels. If your max volume seems too soft, there is a setting that allows the max audio volume limiter to be turned off. (Apparently there's a legal requirement for headset manufactures to do so, but they updated the firmware to allow this to be turned off). Battery life seems excellent, and you always have the spare battery charging to replace for those really long gaming sessions. The headset is extremely comfortable to wear compared to my G933. I've also been very impressed by the construction so far - it's not the crappy plastic that our G933's are made of. My only gripe is the price, which seems to have increased to full retail for the holiday season. 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. I'm curious to find out if the bluetooth pairing is done at the base, or if it could also be used on the go paired to a phone to take with me on the go. If so I might get one for myself but I'm guessing that won't work. Regardless, it took jumping through a few hoops to get it working as desired, but we're quite satisfied by the quality. If you are looking for quality audio for your console or PC and have the money to spend, I'd definitely recommend this or the wired version if you can stand the wiring requirements.

Los mejores wireless para PC!!!!
La verdad no sรฉ como estรฉn para PS4 porque no lo he usado con mi consola. Pero lo que sรญ es un hecho es que para PC son una maravilla. EL sonido es excelente, el micrรณfono ni se diga, vienen con compatibilidad integrada para el Discord y varios juegos. El dock tiene settings muy รบtiles para configurar. En cuanto al tema wireless definitivamente tienen un gran alcance, tengo un pequeรฑo canal de Twitch, por lo que cuando ocupo ir a la cocina u abrir la puerta en caso de visitas, puede seguir hablando a una distancia considerable sin tener que dejar a mis viewers preguntรกndose donde estoy. Para mรญ lo que fue la cereza del pastel fue el tema de las baterรญas, la duraciรณn es bastante decente, no sรฉ en que ranking se encuentren. Lo que sรญ es un hecho es el tema de las baterรญas intercambiables por lo que jamas tendrรกs que preocuparte por conectar a USB ya que mientras usas unas en el headset, las otras pilas se estan cargando en el dock. Anteriormente ya contaba con otro headset wireless de otra marca, sin embargo era un fastidio cuando se terminaba la carga y habรญa que conectar vรญa USB. Conclusiรณn: Si vas a ir por unos wireless de calidad estos son los MEJORES del mercado definitivamente, aunque claro, no son para todos por el elevado precio. Si tienes el dinero y tienes consideradas varias opciones, estos los recomiendo como la opciรณn numero uno.

Brilliant headset, dual batteries are game changing
Iโve been gaming for years, and this is the best headset Iโve 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 โslotโ 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.

Brilliant Headset - best ever!
Nothing to dislike. The sound quality is brilliant, very comfortable on the ears, the 2nd battery is a very nice addition. One thing that could be improved is the time before you get a low battery warning - would be nice if you could set that to a different number of minutes.

Fantastic headset
I moved to this after some weird issues with some Audeze Mobius headphones. These things are incredible! So fully featured. I love using Dolby Atmos for Headphones with them, as it is incredibly immersive. Being able to hear sound from your phone as well as your PC is great, as you can pause a game, answer your phone and just talk. Amazing!
