I like how they fit over my big head. I like how you don't have to worry about charging them and can just swap out batteries and that the transmitter is also the charger. I like how the mic is retractable. For someone who only voice chats rarely, this is least intrusive. As far as I can tell, the sound quality is great. The only issue I've had is that once the transmitter is connected to your PC, you can't just turn off your headphones to go back to PC speakers. However, setting hotkeys to switch sound devices via audioswit.ch/er honestly makes thing even easier. Cheapest I've found here and so far totally worth.

So far, the wireless performance has been excellent. As a "refurb" the price for these seems fair. If I paid full retail I would have returned my set. For a teen or a woman these may be comfortable but if you are a large man with a big head like I am, I would pass on these. As a side note, on the controller unit their is an On/Off setting for Dolby. My controller just has O/O illuminated. This may be reason they were returned in first place. I just selected the "O" on the left to turn on Dolby and am done with it. "Refurb" means send it back out again until someone decides to keep it. The concept, the subdued style and the control unit with a spare battery are major moves forward in wireless headsets. If they were more comfortable I would be extremely pleased. I will continue to use them to see if I can get used to them. Otherwise it is back to my very comfortable corded Sennhiessers.Read full review

I have experienced these headphones falling off as well, but it only happens when looking down. The weight will simply cause them to slid off if you point your head toward the ground. However, how often does this happen? Not much. That said, I still give the SteelSeries 5 stars. The sound is great and i love that I never have to take them off to charge. Hot swapping the batteries is the way gaming headsets shoud be IMO. The retractable mic is a nice bonus too. I might mention that I have used the mic without pulling it out and have had no complaints from people that I play with. I will be getting a new set because I broke mine (negligence on my part). If you are looking for quality gaming cans, these are the best that I've ever used.

These sound amazing in games, especially with the virtual surround sound turned on. The range is pretty bad, the mic is alright, but there is nearly no latency so I can forgive the low range. If you aren't using these mainly for playing video games, they are not the headphones for you. Music sounds just ok, but in-game they sound wonderful and really add to the immersion.

Don't listen to 88portwin. His review makes absolutely no sense. It doesn't fall off your head. I can see it falling off your head if you go to the gym and your running full speed on the treadmill while trying to whip your head left and right as fast as you can. I love these headphones. They sound great ! They sound better than my Astro A50. I love them so much that I'm buying another pair in case they terrible and fall of head.

I like this better than Astro sounds much better. Would be perfect if you can switch out ear pads. Swap batteries are perfect for wireless. Only con for this is max volume could be higher.

The published reviews of this headset are so positive, that they are almost unbelievable. Happy to report that all the hype is true. These are really an amazing piece of technology. I am fan of Sony headsets (because they are really good!) but I have to admit the SteelSeries are superior. Sound quality as good as studio cans and a microphone that is better than any I have ever used. There is no lag and the range is good. Like all the professional reviews say, there are just no better headsets than these. This is truly a case of buy once - cry once. You get what you pay for.

I received this headset as a Christmas gift and my gf sent me the link to review since I would be the one using it. The headset from all appearances looked to be new in box, no defects whatsoever. It's incredibly comfortable to wear, a good amount of clamp force, but the ear cushions are soft and alleviate excess pressure, I have a slightly bigger head, and wear glasses. No issues with wearing these for 3+ hours at a time. Came with all the listed equipment, including the two batteries, one to charge will the other is being used. No down time waiting for a charge. The sounds quality is fantastic.

Very nice headset, confusing at first to setup, as it did not come with a user's manual, box very nice once set up, especially for a refurb item. Fast shipping and good seller.
