Review: Comfortable for glasses wearers & recommend plugging into the back of the computer - These SteelSeries headphones are of brilliant quality. I originally had a really cheap unbranded pair I'd wear when watching my boyfriend play games a few years ago, and ever since I got into gaming myself, I never upgraded. The audio of that pair now cuts out whenever the wire moved, so I was in need of a proper gaming headset! Off the bat, you can definitely tell the difference, which I did have to get used to because it was new and strange to me. I did have them plugged into the headphone jack to start with (with an extention I used for my old pair as the cable is quite short), but I noticed this didn't allow the LED lights around each headphone to light up. I plugged them into the USB connector in the back of my computer and downloaded the SteelSeries Engine and the audio, again, improved immensely! You get a sense of surround sound, which is great when playing games where you need to be aware of your surroundings (my go-to games being Dead by Daylight and Apex Legends, so this is perfect). Using the USB connection, means you also have to have the ChatMix dial connected. I haven't used this feature, but basically you can change the chat/game audio ratio mid game without having to minimise, so it is handy. The real test was if they would be comfortable because I wear glasses - they certainly are! There's no pushing or clamping on my ears or glasses frames, which I got from my last pair. There's a head strap that can be adjusted which is also comfortable on the top of the head. If you were to start headbanging or something, these will fall off because they just sit nicely on the head with no tightness really. The mic can be pulled out and pushed back in when not in use. I'm not sure how this wire will hold up because it seems quite flimsy. It's a little annoying (you'll want to pull it out before you're connected to Discord etc or while you're on mute) as I'm used to just lifting the mic up and down from the left side of the headset, although, I understand the design so it's out the way. It has a red LED when it's on mute which again is a little annoying because when it's not in use I like to always have it on mute, but I can obviously see why that is a feature. I've been told compared to my old pair, my mic is so much clearer and crisp, so that's a plus! On the back left headphone, you have the mute button for the mic, as well as a wheel for the volume. When I first started using these, I would always wonder why the audio got so quiet. It was because when I picked them up from my desk, my thumb would knock the wheel! Since I realised, I try to avoid putting my thumb near the settings when putting them on, but I'll also push up on the wheel when they're on just to make sure it's on max. The headphones twist, so if you take of them off and put them round your neck, they can sit comfortably. I don't ever do this, so when I pick one side of the headphones up, it always rotates. Overall, if you're looking for a comfortable headset for glasses, these are definitely an option and the sound quality is amazing. I recommend downloading SteelSeries Engine for customisation such as the LED colour and all things sound related.
Review: Hands down the best budget headset you can get. - Yes, there are cheaper ones, but the difference between those and these in terms of build quality, sound quality, and design, is phenomenal. The comfort factor is also off the scale, as they are light enough to have very little presence where weight is concerned, and the fine sponge style ear cups seem to rest on your head rather than gripping it. I really liked the mic design as well, which slides easily back into the left ear cup when not in use and can also be bent and adjusted to wherever you need it when extended. It also provided perfect audio quality when gaming as a friend of mine uses these too. I was lucky enough to get mine for £25 on a warehouse deal two years ago, but would happily have paid the £50 they cost now had I known how good they were going to be.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this come with a guarantee or warranty**
A: Everything sold in the uk has to to be fit for purpose. If it fails due to manufacturing/design fault the retailer must replace/ repair. Everywhere in the EU this is the case for 2 years for electronic products, for the uk it’s indefinitely. If you buy anything through Amazon they honor this (it’s the law so they don’t have much choice). So you can safely always ignore the manufacturer warrantee/guarantee, it’s meaningless. They will never fix anything that’s your fault anyway, and if it’s their fault they legally have to anyway...

**Q: Why don’t it work with Xbox one s I bought this headset and it don’t work please help**
A: Mine worked plug and play on the controller, remember to check the details on the setting on the xbox one to see if it is the audio set up properly

**Q: Why when i buy the console one because i have a xbox one it gives me the ps4&ps5 one**
A: I think it’s doesn’t matter should still work on the Xbox

**Q: Can the console headset also be used on a PC?**
A: does it need to download software

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for glasses wearers
*by A***Z on 17 April 2020*

I got these as a recommendation from some glass-wearing friends. My head is small (I'm petite and a female, I have the whole combo) and on top of that I'm prone to having headaches and I wear glasses. This means that I've never managed to wear a headset for over an hour without having a massive headache that usually lasts 2-3 hours. Ever since the lockdown started (I'm in UK) I've had to attend meetings and lectures online which meant I would be using a headset for over 4-5 hours a day, so it was URGENT to get a proper headset and this does it. I have been wearing it and the ski-type headband is the best idea I've ever seen. I can feel how the weight is nicely distributed and the padding on the cups is the perfect amount for me. It doesn't press too much against my glasses and even though I need to do some tiny adjustment from time to time, I am overall happy and have not suffered from a single headache since I started using them (amazing). Sound-wise, I am a bass-head and I normally would listen to music through my SkullCandy Crushers with bass enhancement, so this ones being more real, pure sound, do sound weird to me, not in a bad way but simply different. However, the sound is quite involving thanks to the virtual 7.1 sound system so if you're not a sound purist (or if you just wanna hear the music / sound of your game sharply, these will do nicely. I do like the pick-up range of the mic, because it will pick up my voice even if I decide to mutter, but it won't pick up other loud noises occurring nearby such as strikes of my mechanic keyboard (which is quite loud) nor my dog barking next to me (as long as it is not a very loud bark). My classmates have reported to hear me sharply and comfortably. The Game-Chat system seems a bit pointless to me but just because I don't give it much use (I prefer single-player games where chatting ain't that important and I usually don't speak while playing), so I cannot say much about it. I would like it to have a longer Jack 3.5 cable extension as it is surprisingly shorter than the USB one, and I dislike having such a short cable wondering around. Losing this bit will probably be unavoidable long term if you're slightly messy as am I. The external design of the headset has me mesmerized. The feeling is sturdy even though it's plastic, but also smooth and the matte finish makes it look elegant while still having a nice gaming touch with those RGB circles. There are buttons on the left ear cup, but as I have disappointingly realised, the mute unmute button does not sync with Zoom (it doesn't even recognize it as a key if you try and modify it from settings). I haven't tried it with discord yet though. The other thing that could be nice is an option to turn the RGB off if you feel like it, but this is not vital and I don't even have a huge preference for it, but it would be nice to have the option anyways. The little wheel below the mute button on the left ear cup is smooth, but doesn't run on her own. It regulates the volume as well as the Game-Chat wheel that comes attached to the USB connection cable. The wheel itself feels a bit more plasticky than the rest of the set, but it runs smooth, although a tad too smoothly imo, I've accidentally lowered the voice because the cable moved and I touched it with my arm. Last comment: the retractable mic is comfortable, but I am sceptical and I feel it a tad soft, making me think that maybe I would not fiddle too much with it if I want it to last long. I hope that time proves me wrong! Overall, I recommend this, particularly, if you have issues with headsets due to glasses or due to pressure feeling on the top of your head because of the weight of it. I also recommend it if you look for a nice involving sound that it is not too bass deep.
