Another neat feature allows the user to unplug their speakers from the back of their PC and instead run their spekears into the wireless dongle that connects to a USB on the PC.

Speaking of chat - the separate scroll wheels for game volume and chat volume is one of my favorite features.

The lightweight combo with the cupping ability makes these very comfortable to wear for extended periods which was very important to me as a feature

The ability to quickly turn a game down and a chat like discord up is one of the best features I use a lot.

that feature is worth the price alone.

Primary feature I needed here was retractable mic and it does just that as expected

I tried the Steel Series application on my Mac and there are some nice features

Great great feature

Save yourself the time and frustration and get a better headset where audio quality is the best feature.

The fact that the mic is retractable is a great feature since I was looking for a more discrete gaming headset (most are really bulky and crazy looking)

I tried it out for a few weeks and I have to say there are some really cool features

This means you do not have to fiddle with the different levels at all when the game is too loud, but can adjust on the fly for each game, an amazing feature!

Great features, when the headset decides that it will connect to Windows

Has great features and mic sounds great also compared to similar models from other companies

The wireless feature is great

The option to switch back and forth between desktop speakers and the headphones just by powering them on and off is probably my favorite feature

The wireless features work from very far away and the sound is very crisp

The problem with the Arctis 7 (and why I knocked off points on the rating) is the VERY annoying auto-shutoff "feature

One of the best features is hearing what's happening while in-game while getting up to use the restroom or get another beer

This is a well built, good sounding, feature rich, pair of headphone

but I find myself using my other headset because of one annoying feature

If comfort is the most important feature for you then you are probably better off looking for a more adjustable headset, however I find these to be as good or better than

While I agree that Arctic’s 7 sound good, are comfortable, has some great features

Chatmix is probably my favorite feature of this headset, as it's so convenient to be able to adjust Discord volume without tabbing out of whatever game you're playing.

One of my favorite features is that the mic retracts fulling into the headset so they look like regular headphones

This feature cannot be disabled and is an absolute debacle of steelseries engineering; one star cannot express the disappointment.

The ear cups are not dense enough to protect you from the fat ass drivers behind them (this is the most uncomfortable feature about this

Doesn't look absolutely g4mer-aesthetic ridiculous.- Retractable mic is a cool feature

Great build quality, great features, super comfortable

It's got all the right features that a heavy gamer like myself can appreciate

And I like the light up feature,

Overall quality is good, features are good, comfort is bad

In my own opinion after testing this headset myself, all the features works as intended

For some reason, there is no way to disable this "feature" and makes the unit pretty damn annoying to use

Another great feature is the game/chat volume mixer which is helpful for times when I need to hear more game sounds than my friends talking

Other comments:The wireless dongle has this very cool line out feature that plays the sound through the 3.5mm line out jack when the headset is turned off making switching output device on my PC seamless

Yes, there's the band with the adjustable velcro, but that is so unbelievably nominal they could have easily just omitted that feature

As for the 3 stars, I think the headset had a bunch of great features, controls and ports.

Amazing sound quality and excellent features (on ear chat/game mixing

I am coming from the PS Gold Headset which are fantastic sound and feature wise, however they put a lot of pressure on my pierced ears, which is unbearable after just an hour of playtime

These have some great features and I really wanted to love them

For someone who primarily games on PC, this was a very handy feature

After opening the package I immediately tried them and was surprised at how uncomfortable they are due to the fact that they have no adjusting for different head sizes making it extremely annoying and aggravating that a $120 headset would overlook that feature.

I use windows 10 and I do love 1 feature of these headsets which basically you can get 2 audio devices (chat and gaming).

Sound quality is pretty good as well, and I enjoy the talk back feature that can be enables through the arctis software

Wireless is such a great feature to have on headphones

Great features on the headset for gaming

The features are awesome, including the cross-platform compatibility/wireless compatibility

The price may be somewhat steep, but I am not particularly experienced enough with headsets to say if the features are worth the price.+Great mic that does not need to be pulled out of its resting spot+Good sound quality after adjusting EQ settings in the headset software+Wireless for both PC and Playstation-Wired for Xbox and Mobile-Ear cups become uncomfortable quickly, but this could be fixed with a different set-Volume wheels are in an inconvenient location that tampers with your listening experience

in the end of installation, the "features" the software gave were awful and sounded better without it.

I have my desktop speakers plugged into the SteelSeries receiver which automatically switches to the speakers when the headphones are disconnected and it's such an amazing feature

Great battery life, great feature set.

the extendable microphone is a great feature as well as the audio mix.

I wanted to like these as the features and performance of the headset are solid, but they just aren't comfortable to wear.

they have a great feature that allows you to balance VOIP and game

There are a bunch of other great features I am simply forgetting about too

I was sick of having to switch audio outputs every time I gamed [first world problems] and this is an awesome feature

I'd like to find a wireless 2.4ghz headset w mic that will not power off automatically (or such that I can disable that feature), is over-the-ear, closed back, and is minimalistic

These headphones are a damn good bargain at $70.I'm docking one star because I wish somewhere in the description they would tell consumers certain features are not compatible with the Xbox One if consumers intend to buy the Arctis 5 or 7

While there are some very cool features - specifically chat mix - if headphones don't sound great why use them?

Another amazing feature is the Chat/Game volume mixer

The Arctis 7 headset is a top contender and has some convenient features

They have this cool feature that installs two drives on the computer one for chat and the other for game

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+++++
