It’s an ok headset - Loved this headset while it worked. It lasted about a year and then we had to get a new one because it had a terrible echo and stopped working properly. Not really comparable with high intensity games that make you sweat.

Steel Series - Great products. Very good sounding headset. Very comfortable

NITAISOct 2, 2026 · Verified purchase ★★★☆☆

Decent gaming headphones - Has a really deep bass sound quality that you have to adjust. Headphones are comfortable but the microphone sometimes doesn’t work. You have to restart the product to fix it.
