Review: Best for Xbox and PC/Mobile - I'm in love with these headsets, it was just plug and play. The app is very useful to change the EQ preset according to the game I play on Xbox. There was no need to do extra steps to get these to work, although you might need a PC in order to update the firmware with SteelSeries GG software. The headset feels comfortable and I barely feel I have them on after several hours (I have a small head). The sound is very clear, I can notice small details while gaming, no heavy bass boost or any extra sound feature that make the sound uncomfortable like explosions in game. It is a well balanced sound and they are very loud that I barely keep them 100% the volume, with SteelSeries GG software on PC you can customize the EQ how you like for competitive shooter games or any other games you play. I feel the default EQ presets I tried were really nice, some people have issues with some default EQ presets but you can always tweak it with GG software ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The SteelSeries App just works, it was easy to set up and there is no delay while changing the EQ preset. However you cannot make a custom preset from the app, you might need to install SteelSeries GG software on your PC and create the EQ preset on Engine section. You can set the Equalizer for 2.4Ghz connection or BT, having an EQ gaming preset for 2.4Ghz and EQ music preset for BT, there is no need to switch it over again after switching to Xbox/PC or phone. There is no delay or distortion issue with the dongle on Xbox or PC, I feel the delay on these headsets are very minimum, dialogues are always synced. on mobile I just use it to listen audios or watch short videos that I don't care much how it works there but it works really nice and there is no delay at all. Bluetooth on PC I wished I can test it and I hope to do it soon. A quick tip if you move the dongle back and forth on Xbox and PC, you can install the Xbox Accessories app on PC and use the dongle on Xbox mode on PC, this just works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Noted: These headsets will only work Wireless, with either the original dongle or Bluetooth. There is no wired solution or to pair it with Xbox Wireless Adapter on PC, I wished these two options were available for versatility. and there is no simultaneously BT connection, you either have it connected via dongle or have it connected via BT but you cannot listen to both at the same time, the quick switch just works really fast tho. I still haven't tried really well the battery life for these headsets, I've been using it a lot to tweak things and use it on Xbox, PC and phone that battery life just lasted a week, I will measure it with a normal use later on. (hopefully I didn't get a deflective one since 1 week was pretty short according to their 60hr battery life advertisement) --- I hope to get back to this review for long term review, in my opinion SteelSeries did a good job making these headsets for this price comparing to others brands for what it offers. It is really worth the purchase if you mainly use Xbox and PC for gaming.
Review: Greatest wireless gaming headset I have ever owned! - If you are looking for the best wireless gaming headset, you’ve just found it! Crisp and clear sound that amplifies when you pair it to your PC and use the GG app! They are specifically tuned for tons of games. The ear cups are soft and comfortable and breathe instead of the fake leather ones. The initial setup was easy, installing the GG program on PC was a little bit more difficult but not bad. It is 100% worth it once you get it setup. The fine tuning options are awesome! The microphone is sweet too, retractable with a mute button for ease of use. The snow white color is beautiful and everything about this headset is smooth and frosty to the touch! Absolutely light as a feather as well. It is the Xbox version so if you are looking to use it for literally any device such as nintendo switch 2, your phone, t.v., PC, etc it can! The usb dongle included makes it happen! I have been wired to my PC for too long enjoying not having to charge my old headset but this one is superior in every way including coming charged 68% out of the box and capable of up to 40 hours gameplay after being fully charged! The USB ports just plug right into my PC. I have been using the HyperX gaming headset for over 5 years and I have officially switched over to these!! I LOVE THESE!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! Surprised to be this overwhelmingly satisfied!! Grab ‘em!! ❤️❤️❤️

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing quality, X-box connection isn't the best. Long read, but I wanted to give a thorough review.
*by A***A on June 3, 2026*

For reference, I mostly play Fortnite on X-box. I was really excited for this headset. The dongle to get it connected is a bit wonky looking as you have to use a usb cord, but it isn't a big deal. Long battery life, clear mic sounds for others, sound for me is phenomenal, switching between 2.4 & bluetooth is simple and easy when in game play. Calls coming through are wonderful quality, and the alert mechanism is top tier. The cord given with the headset is long and seems well made, and the headset itself is very well made & comfortable. I have a lot of hair & wear glasses. So, I enjoy the comfort of the headset a lot. Battery life lasts me 3-4 days of 4+ hours each day of gameplay. My kids are older now & like playing matches with me, don't judge. :) My biggest and only real complaint is that the X-box connection will randomly not work properly. This is likely a console problem, not the headset. Sometimes I can turn on the system, turn on the headset.. sound/mic works perfectly. Sometimes the sound will work, but my mic will not. Sometimes the game/system sound works, but I cannot hear teammates when they talk nor them me. Sometimes the sound will not work at all, but it says its connected. It doesn't matter how I close out the game, turn off the console, or turn off the headset. It just disconnects. I've found it happens more often after needing to charge the headset. Usually, I have to close out the game, turn off the console, unplug the console, wait a few seconds, plug in, restart, and then the headset will work properly. Sometimes I can get away with turning off/on the headset itself, and it will reconnect normally. Sometimes it won't. It truly is unreliable in that way. This happens 4-5 times minimum a week. I play daily/nightly. I do not usually hop on/off numerous times when I sit down to play. So, if you're not a patient person & get overwhelmed/upset with technology when it doesn't "seamlessly" work.. this may not be the headset for you. Go with a plug & play type instead, or switch to a PS5 where you don't have to worry as much. However.. if you can be patient, this headset is just shy of perfection, and I truly believe it's just X-box related more than it is the headset itself. I've never had issues out of the two PS5s we own, but this X-box is driving me insane with this sort of thing. I had some issues with a popular brand headset I owned previously connecting, as well. Just be prepared to troubleshoot when it's not acting correctly, and you'll be fine. Hope this helps!
