SteelSeries wireless gaming headset gets an update.
Would not buy it again and still uses it daily.
Owned over 2 years.
What gave out: Headband / hinge (1)
below average for gaming headsets — based on 86 of 152 we've cataloged.
2.4GHZ is the most common — on 26% of the 206 gaming headsets we've cataloged (of 152).
The verdict
This is a reasonably priced, fully featured, and convenient wireless headphone. It doesn't nail everything, but hits an overall bar of quality you'd have to spend considerably more to match.
✓Liked: Good sound, Solid connectivity options, Good surround sound, Comfortable
✕Could be better: Reliance on an app for using some features, Slightly overemphasized bass, Mic struggles with bass
