" ...  Really enjoy Steelseries headsets, premium build quality, sound is amazing, and they feel great they're a little snug on my head but it's welcomed and not overbearing.  ...  "

" ...  never had a dead headset because I have two batteries the sound is awesome in game and don't get me wrong these are for gamers.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The audio clarity is very good, although I'm used to the Bose Comfort Noise canceling headphones for audio and reducing unwanted external sounds. ... The adjustments that can be made from the head unit are quite good also for adjusting the sound and managing the units features.  ...  "

" ...  No way to run audio test and audio configurations. ... Logitechs G 930 and G 933 are cheaper and sound much better.  ...  "

" ...  These things sound unbelievably great and are so comfortable to wear.  ...  "

" ...  - Audio quality is excellent. ... I can actually hear all the missing background noises some games have that weren't noticeable with cheaper cans going through my Creative Z audio board. ... Also the Steel Series 3 software allows some additional BASS boost adjustments. ... -HIRES Music when found sounds utterly fantastic. ... Its almost like being in the sound booth with the entertainers. ... Not perfect as the rear surround is still slightly more on the weak side but it is definitely there. ... Music, Movies, and to a certain extant games. ... -Gaming surround sound. ... The sound from music is amazing especially when playingback Hi Resolution Audio. ... The sound is truly superior when listening in stereo but older surround based games loose their surround abilities unless they use a software 3d sound library.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The G933s was very good all around, especially for the price, but the Arctis is outstanding in almost every way. ... Some were good, some were good for the price and some were terrible.  ...  "
