A few minor gripes, the cables are a little excessive, there's about 3 connections from headset to audio port

there is a high chance you migh not recieve the full package, as cables tend to be missing and the only thing you can do is buy a new proprietary cable pack for your brand new headphones

While the headphones themselves sound pretty good, are light weight and very comfortable, the ones I purchased came with a defective cable that connects to the console controllers

Instead I now have the sturdiest MUSB cable I’ve ever even held

My only complaint is the cable

The headphones also have an analog input, so you can ditch the specialty cable and use a nice audio cable instead, which is what I just started doing

Proprietary cables means if you lose or damage the cable that plus into the headset (8 pin to 8 pin) or the controller (8 pin to 4-pole), as they are separate cables, you're out of luck until you can order new cables from SteelSeries

I have the Arctis 5, which I also liked, except for the bulky and weird and.. weird cable system, with the control thing in the middle that moves if I even think about breathing near it

It's unnecessary, pretty annoying, and if you break your cable, say bye bye to your headset

Cable is easily broken and customer service from SteelSeries are NOT HELPFUL at all

Another flaw is the cables themselves

Next it has proprietary cables

They even expect you to do that, the box includes a long and heavy braided cable with beefy inline controls for PC, and a super Sony look-a-like mobile cable with inline mic and pause/play controls

Then after a week of not playing, the cable for the PC stopped working

The 1.2 meter proprietary cable is ridiculously short

I should have already covered my complaints about, but is otherwise amongst one of the better cabling I’ve gotten in products like this

Bad cable?

8 months later the cable is already starting to break

The second was that they do not like to work with Razer Synapse on your pc as it will try to control the headphones

You download SteelSeries 3, enter the supplied code to “activate” the surround option, then enable 7.1 in the software, as well as in game
