Running it to either the 3.5mm jack or the proprietary connector cable found on the headphones (supplied).

But, after one year the mic now has major issues, and due to the proprietary cable, I do

Great product for the most part; but as a consumer I have no idea if the unit is bad, or just the cable

Well, my cable just went defective after about 4 months

It includes a wireless dongle which plugs into your computer via USB and is used to sync to the headset wirelessly, as well as a USB charging cable for the headset and a 3.5 mm headset jack to mini usb cable for use with non-bluetooth enabled devices (such as the Xbox One).

Edited: SteelSeries sent me a decent charging cable

Therefore, if you buy this headset and that cable goes defective then you are completely hosed.

Additionally, I would have preferred that the headphones would have allowed a simple USB connection in the absence of the wireless dongle, but no, it only supports a proprietary connector cable to your analog audio connector.

Instead of a small dongle that can be plugged into the front of my pc, i have to route this obnoxious hub into the back causing clutter on my desktop as well as a cable mess i have to hide

What happens if you lose the proprietary cable

Its not bad using the cable, but you only get stereo audio

I purchased the 7 wireless model because I really don't like cables

The proprietary cable was one of the only cons when I bought it, and this is exactly why

Needs a proprietary cable for the 1/8 inch to micro USB for the Xbox One and occasionally disconnects.

no lighting is just odd-Not loud as connecting it directly with usb to headphone connection-this is a solid 125$ headset I believe its overpriced a

Nonetheless I feel spoiled by the clever mic design, although the quality could be improved, as well as the well balanced and enriched audio it can produce

I don't like it as a

I use these for work as I work from home and use these for 2-3 hours a day

when I got it, it paired very quickly with my console and the headband was extremely comfortable as well as around the ears.

It is not something that bothers me a

These are perfect A+++++

Sounds really good l, but the battery quit working and now they are unusable.
