The mic is absolutely fantastic as well, gives clear response.

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

The mic is just atrocious

They're pretty comfortable, and the mic, I'm told, sounds good.

The mic needs a male to female extention cable, does not work wireless as far as I can tell

the mic isn't good, not receptivecold be bigger for my "bigger" head

No adjustment of mic sensitivity in the software like some cheaper brands.

The headset is really comfortable, the mic is crystal clear, but there is one fatal problem; The headset automatically turn off whenever it wants too

The mic is decent with wireless and the boom hidden

The mic can be easily manipulated and placed where you need it to be

After just a little over a year, the mic on mine stopped working for seemingly no reason

Other headsets have been able to accomplish adequate mic monitoring successfully, I'm not certain what is preventing this manufacturing from delivering here.

I love the headset because its Extremely comfy for me sounds great and has great mic quality

Finally, make sure to download Engine, which is the SteelSeries software that allows the user to adjust things such as the sound equalizer and the built-in retractable mic.

The mic isn't very good.

The retractable mic is good and I have not experienced any problems yet

Mic is barely better than webcam

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

the mic is very nice, but honestly if your making a wireless headset for gaming, please specify for the consumers who are not as technically knowledgable that your not designing it for all games

The mic is retractable which is great for solo gaming and the light on the end of the mic is great for knowing if its muted or not

Good sound, good mic, comfortable to wear, long distance on the Bluetooth, no noticeable delay on the Bluetooth either and also very cool to look at

I simply love them, the sound is perfect the retractable mic is superb

- BlackOtherwise they have great sound and the battery is good, I like the retractable mic, and they haven't cut out on me once

clear mic

The sound is amazing, the mic is great, the earpads are extremely comfortable

This mic is clear as day and the quality of the headphones are top notch

Extremely comfortable, great battery life, amazing sound quality, mic is crisp and clear

The mic seems to work wonderfully

Mic didn't work

I can't believe they advertise this as "the best mic in gaming", total marketing hype

The mic is good enough for online chat

However: The noise-cancelling mic is noticeably better when the headset is wired and the boom is extended

I have tested the retractable mic's listening range an noticed that it really ignores the sounds around me

Update:I was going to return these once I got the Logitech G933, but I found that the mic on the G933 is garbage; a complete downgrade in quality from a G230, Logitech's simplest gaming headset

The mic would work for a while, and then it would randomly stop working

Mic is great

The retractable mic works great

The only downside is the horrible mic

It is extremely comfortable (even on my large head) and offers great mic clarity, decent sound, a versatile aesthetic profile, and an exceptional value.

The mic is also very sensitive and it totally clears the background noise

So far I can tell that it's high quality, the sound is great, and the mic picks up my voice well even when it is retracted into the ear piece

I bought the arctis 7 and the Siberia 800 to replace my hyperx cloud headset because the mic would quit working sometimes

It's also nice to have Mic Sidetone on, so you can hear your mic is working.

I'm very happy with the sound quality in games and range, and my friends say the mic sounds good (though my last headset had a good mic too)

It's like $20 headset mic sound quality

Pros: easy set up, sound quality great, blocked noise in room pretty well, easy to use functions on the headphonesCons: the mic will not work directly with the Nintendo Switch, to get audio you do need to buy an extra cable that the package doesn't come with

Mic is useless if your running Windows 10.Sound quality lacking with aggressive music.

The mic works well and is fully retractable, the audio sounds incredible, they’re comfortable, and they look great

The mic doesn't work on the console - you have to yell for anyone to hear you

While the mic is the best I've tested, the sound is average

I actually prefer the mic on this headset to the mic on the Cloud Alpha

SteelSeries headset sound was excellent, mic also performed well.

The only qualms i would have is, on ps4 pro, i cannot hear myself AT ALL, so i often wonder if im too loud/not loud enough or if the mic is picking up backround noise

The retractable mic is a huge plus

To start, this is a great headset: great sound quality, great mic quality, love that its wireless

Good sound and clear mic.

The mic sounds pretty good - though you'll not mistake these for a real microphone

The mic sounds pretty good - though you'll not mistake these for a real microphone

The mic worked well and I liked the retractable design

Sounds great, the mic works fine for me (including in PUBG which someone else said it didn't)

Pros- exceptional mic, with a pop filter, this would produce near-studio quality recordings- sleek, attractive design, would wear this in public- wireless works well, has good range, little interference, and no noticeable lag- lightweight and comfortable to wearCons- audio quality is barely adequate, with a weak high end, metallic mids, and lack of sub-bass- no full analog option, i.e. no way to bypass on-board DAC- no RGB LEDs, unlike the Arctis 5, which costs lessOverall, not bad for a wireless gaming headset, at least if you care more about your teammates hearing you well rather than you hearing them and the game's audio well

Great quality, very clear mic, durable, long lasting battery

They look nice, and I like the hideaway mic

Comfortable on the ears, nice adjustable band for the head, great sound quality and a very clear mic.

The sound quality is great and the mic is great too

Didn't get to use the so called "best mic in gaming" because I got fed up with the volume not working

The mic may not be as powerful either, but compromises can be made

The mic sounds really nice and my voice comes through clearly

So basically my mic is bad for weeks because of their bad update

-Good Mic-Love the switch to speaker feature when the headset is turned offCons:-Needed a lot of work using an external EQ to get it to

-Good Mic-Love the switch to speaker feature when the headset is turned offCons:-Needed a lot of work using an external EQ to get it to

I also really appreciate the retractable mic and the comfort and flexibility of the top band

Finally a headset with excellent sound and mic quality that doesn't look like it belongs in an airplane cockpit

Extremely comfortable on my huge head, looks cool, sounds great, and the mic is fantastic.

This headset is amazing, comfortable, don't really sweat at all with it on, great functionality, long battery life, good mic

Great mic and audio!

Clear sound, clear mic, battery lasts longer than he does in his games

What I like about this headset is how clear it is, how well the mic works and that it works through walls and maybe 20 feet away from the receiver with 0 issues

I've even tried using 3rd party software (Equalizer APO) to boost the mic, but to no avail.

The Mic is honestly the clearest mic in the headset

One not just update when you get them with your PC and boost your mic

but sadly my 40 dollar headset has 10x the better mic

The mic is okay for a gaming headset, But it doesn't really outperform the Razer Man'o'war IMO

Mic is clear, software is fine

The mic has really decent quality, and everyone I've talked to says the sound quality seems quite good

Another benefit is the mic

The mic is good and clear

Pros: easy set up, sound quality great, blocked noise in room pretty well, easy to use functions on the headphonesCons: the mic will not work directly with the Nintendo Switch, to get audio you do need to buy an extra cable that the package doesn't come with

After testing it with the mic right in front it works like an absolute dream, it barely picked up music blasting from my speakers, but my left muff was on my cheek

The sound quality, mic quality, and comfort on this headset make it worth the $150, the transmitter makes it a must buy

People honestly want a nice looking headset with great quality that have a good mic and a good speaker

I'd gone through FOUR different wireless headsets at this point - all of which were had worse mic quality, had poor battery life or were uncomfortable to wear

the mic is pretty good too

Great sound, Mic is also very clear

Mic sounds terrible and audio cuts in and out from ear to ear sometimes and causes the audio to sound like its boucing from side to side in my ears, extremely annoying (defective?).

Mic too quiet

The mic is good, the 7.1 dolby surround sound works , the battery life is great, and the battery lasts really long.

-Mic sounds flawless.

Now the mic barely works

Mic sounds good and clear but a bit tinny.

GAMERS BEWARE, this is NOT the headset for YOU!Sound is good and headset is comfortableHOWEVER, their surround sound is COMPLETELY useless, you cannot hear or tell which the fire is coming from!This headset is completely useless to FPS playersAlso:- the software is real slow and makes things worse- the mic is bad w/o the software, so you don't have that option to not get the software

Battery life is way better, I barely charge this thing, mic is great, super comfy

If you are looking for super high end mic quality go and buy a standalone mic instead of blaming the headset.

I can't believe they advertise this as "the best mic in gaming", total marketing hype

Good sound good mic but really didn't notice the sournd sound at

MIC / CONTROLSIt has a great mic

i use voice commands in some of my games and my last headset i might of had to repeat the command a few times due to a crappy mic

The mic will not work directly with the system if plugged.

Even my the webcam mic on my laptop is louder and clearer than this

The mic sounds great

I can’t seem to hear where enemies are and the mic is horrible.

but they don’t work as a mic

The mic is a little flimsy but being careful with how you push it back in makes it last

The audio quality is great and it is very comfortable, but the mic is having some serious issues when using it on the PS4.When using it as wireless and talking with others the mic audio will spike to ear bleeding levels for everyone listening to me

Good sound, good mic, comfortable to wear, long distance on the Bluetooth, no noticeable delay on the Bluetooth either and also very cool to look at

This mic is crystal clear.- Automatic switching from headset to speakers when headset is powered off

The mic sounds pretty good with discord, have had people tell me it sounds good

The only concern, and I knew this going into buying these, is the mic

I've heard from many of my friends that the mic is crystal clear and the directional mic cuts out a ton of the background noise

Mic broke 2.5 months after purchase.

I'll be returning this headset and sticking with my Turtle Beach Stealth 400.TL;DR - great build quality, great mic quality, bad sound quality

The retractible mic is very nice to keep it out of the way and undamaged

The mic, from what my friends have said, is nice and clear

After a firmware update, the mic doesn't work.

Pros-Great mic.

All better!-Great battery-Best range and connection stability of any wireless headset that's not Bluetooth(in my experience)-Great mic-Pretty good fit-Pretty underwhelming audio

All better!-Great battery-Best range and connection stability of any wireless headset that's not Bluetooth(in my experience)-Great mic-Pretty good fit-Pretty underwhelming audio

They cancel outside noise, for on my head securely, and the mic is very clear

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

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

all goodThe mic sounds good and clear but makes your sound more metallic or as if your on a radio station, bad part is the build and size, my head neither my ears is big, but i believe the ear cups and the headset itself is small, my ears touches the speaks inside in the middle and it really hurts after some hours of gaming and even hurts next following days, probably its because of the metal head band pushing hard on the ears cups,i also tried to resize the ski head band but nothing helps

The mic is retractable

Every once in a while my friends complain that my Mic is choppy

Estimate 10ft range-Good Mic + Easy to put away-Long Lasting BatteryCONS-No

The retracting mic is more gimmicky than useful

Said the sound quality is great and his mic is also really clear

Good sound, good mic quality, good headphone build quality

I also liked the mute led on the boom mic

Never seems to run out of charge-Built-in mute button is easy to reach/works very well-Mic lights up red when muted making it hard to forget-Retractable mic-Good sound-Totally comfortable after long periods-Very compact - not gaudy or bulky like gaming headsets tend to beCons:-Probably won't adjust well to very large heads

The mic sounds really good

Love the retractable mic

Bought for my son for Christmas, he said they work awesome, he really likes the retractable mic, and that these are so durable, the 4 is because he said these do not fit over his whole ear (he has a large head)

" The Mic works very well and stores back out of the way when it isn't needed.

" The Mic works very well and stores back out of the way when it isn't needed.

but this mic doesn't work

They are super comfortable, the sound is great, the mic seems like it works pretty well-- of course, I ain't the guy listening to

The mic seemed to work well enough

(~15oz vs. 10oz I am used to)Complaints received from friends about poor Mic qualityNot enough space for ears

For $150 I thought the audio quality would be much better, but the real disappointment was the ClearCast mic

The mic also works pretty good and can be retracted when not in use

To sum it all up, the mic is great, but everything else is a bit clunky and subpar

Do yourself a favor and listen to some mic tests online on youtube or google "arctis 7 mic terrible" to read some other reviews.

Extremely clear mic, nice volume mixer and dials on the headset

The mic is extremely sensitive, so if it's super close to your lips/nose, players/friends in the chat can hear you breathing.. which can be an annoyance for them

sound is great and the mic i have had no complaints from my friends, as i dont listen to it

Amazing sound quality, amazing battery life, super comfortable, great noise cancellation, and superior mic quality.

The mic is great but feels a bit flimsy when in use and trying to adjust.

The retracting mic is something I didn't think would add much value, but it turns out I like it a lot better than the removable mic which was my preference on the older sets I have

Clever design with the retractable mic

The mic is really good

so if you are looking for a good wireless headphones then this is the one, just make sure to buy an external mic, but for 150 you think the mic would be better than a 40 dollar headset...

The Mic Sidetone works, but it's extremely low and I cant gauge my volume speaking into the mic and can't hear my wife speak to me

Good audio quality, mic is a little flimsy.

Audio issues, sound popping, crappy mic (all after a firmware update.)

The retractable mic works great

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

In its current state the mic is worthless

I have been told several times that my mic sounds like garbage while on PCA few months into ownership the headphones started to turn off and disconnect by themselves about once an hour

The mic also works pretty good and can be retracted when not in use

The mic also works pretty good and can be retracted when not in use

3 Astro A50.Mic - great mic

Pros:-Great sound-Great mic

The sound is clear, and mic is good.

(~15oz vs. 10oz I am used to)Complaints received from friends about poor Mic qualityNot enough space for ears

Mic is the clearest I've had but, like others have said, at times has to be a bit close to your mouth to where I move it when I eat

Overall the headset is pretty nice for a wireless headset besides the fairly bad mic quality

I am not sure how well the mic works though because he had not tried it yet when I asked.

I've used this headset (again) for 8+ hours continuously before it needed a recharge.- Retractable mic

but sometimes my friends say mic sounds a bit bad but most of the tine its good

The mic is sensitive enough that pulling the mic out at all is not necessary

The mic works well and is fully retractable, the audio sounds incredible, they’re comfortable, and they look great

Has a large range and a good mic

As far as i know my brothers still work fine thoughMy brothers Mic doesn't work now either

The retractable mic is a must for those who have other microphone setups

Great headset, unidirectional mic is a pain sometimes but good.

The retractable mic with the red mute LED works very well

The Mic is very clear and it is the most comfortable headset ive ever worn

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)

The retractable mic with the red mute LED works very well

Headphones are comfortable, the battery lasts very long, the retractable mic is excellent, and they're also fairly lightweight

The mic at least according to the people I am speaking with say is loud and clear

Also retractable mic is a

Voice and sound clarity and wireless range are great \m/.

I disabled and then re-enabled the headset in my laptop and still no mic (though the headphones were working fine all along)

Its great I love it the cushion is very

The only positive I can say about these is that there a bit more comfortable then most headsets
