    Connection issues with Xbox and poor audio quality

    I bought these about a month ago and have had trouble with them ever since. When I’m switching from my other head set to this head set, I have to turn off my Xbox and reboot to get them to connect. Also, the audio quality isn’t great, sounds like I’m in a tunnel.

    Awesome sound and mic quality.

    Head band is super comfortable. Battery life is great, and the mic quality is extremely good even though it is a wireless headset.

    FInally a simple choice

    I'm not a heavy user or a well experienced gamer, I was just looking for a comfortable and durable solution with easy handling that gives me a wireless device for my PC or consoles. This was a perfect find at an affordable price, good material, comfortable, good quality sound and great look.

    Awesome headset

    I’ve been using it for about two weeks now on my Xbox one S and I’m really impressed with the game-specific equalizers. I play siege most nights with my friends and they say that my mic is a lot clearer than my previous headset. It is also crazy how much better I can hear footsteps. The app works good and the battery life is long. Overall, I would highly recommend this headset because it is very comfortable and offers all the big features of the nova 7 just for a lower price, 100% worth it!

    Good sound, poor mic

    I’ve been using these about a month and while the sound quality is good, the people I play with tell me I sound like a robot. Can’t seem to figure it out and wish I hadn’t spent so much money on these.

    Absolutely Solid

    Finally got some Steel Series headset. They’re really comfortable. The battery life is really an improvement over turtle beach. The switching between Bluetooth and the dongle isn’t something I’d think I’d use but has been really nice. App is nice but don’t use it too much but it is nice to set EQs for games. Have yet to use it for much besides gaming but will try it for music more often since switching to my phone is so effortless.

    Great headset for any platform

    I bought the Arctis nova 5x to use for my PC. The feature to switch between 2.4 and Bluetooth is great. If you use the Bluetooth on your phone and have the headset in 2.4 mode, it will still notify you if you get a call. The headset is lightweight and comfortable.

    Love the sound

    I bought the Arctis Nova 5 for gaming with my son after buying him the 7 for Christmas. I didn't need quite as much as his, and these are perfect!! The band for my head is so much more comfortable than just having the whole thing resting on my head.I also love the soft ear cover because they don't pinch my head (my old brand caused a headache from the band and how tight they were) I can play for much longer and my head doesn't hurt. These would be amazing for a neurodivergent that struggles with sensory issues.. (coming from one who does :) lol ) I also like that there's an app for it so I can tailor the sound to the game, or if I'm using them for my phone or for just music. I love how it will ding in my ear when there is a phone call and I can switch. (My son has the ones where he can talk on the phone and continue playin)- cool feature!) they also connect very well to the Xbox as long as you have the right dongle. That makes me very happy. I could also connect them to the computer or other gaming system.

    Honestly really nice but

    My biggest issue is the cups are a little too thin for me and they hurt my head. Now that is a me issue. So other than that I like the way they sound, I get zero complaints with chat. The software makes a huge difference. I just wish they fit me better. I had to use some thicker aftermarket cups but they don't sit right. The factory ones are comfy just thin for me.

    Overall good headset

    I bought it a month ago and needed some time to get into it. Because I have some difficulties with the microphone and it only gets loud when I connect it to my phone or disconnect it. It's very confusing. But in general a good headset

    Lightweight, great sound and connectivity

    Great sounding headset and very comfortable to wear. Im using 2,4Ghz on my PC and bluetooth on my work laptop, and switching is easy. The retractable microhpone works well too, all in all the best headset I've ever owned.

    Love this new headset

    I wanted a lightweight and comfortable headset to use with my Xbox while I walk on the treadmill. This thing is super comfortable even for long gaming sessions, the microphone filters out the treadmill noise well, and it's super easy to swap between my Xbox and phone with the mode switch. Love it!
