When I first plugged in this headset to use, the sound was terrible

Audio sounds good and is lag-free.

Sound is good but for some reason the microphone doesn't work on the Xbox

you're looking for a good headset with solid surround sound, get the Logitech G933

Great sound

Comfortable headset that has great sound for the

It is extremely comfortable and the sound is good

Thought they were going to diminish the sound but the sound is also crisp and can hear the slightest noise in Gears 4 and also beautiful sound in The Order 1886

You'll still get a really good rich clear sound, and have those crystal clear mids and highs.

So in conclusion I find them comfortable and durable while having great sound and battery life.

there was no comparison with the worse sound and no mic-

very comfy and nice physical design but the sound to and from

On pc they sound amazing, and on ps4 the sound is awesome as well

read said the sound was lacking

It has great sound and range.

I like these more because they are more comfortable to wear, the sound is very good, and they don't feel like they will slip off my head like the 933

Loved the comfortable fit, amazing sound, and compatibility with all my devices.

Great fit & sound.

You end up scratching around for a few seconds with your fingers, the sounds of which is pretty annoying

DR nice headset, good clear unhyped sound, not worth the regular price though.

I play on both PC and console on games such as Call of duty and Battlefield in objective games like Search and Destroy and Domination which at points in the match require crisp clean sound so that you have a good idea where your opponent is

This headset is EXTREMELY comfortable and has decent quality sound

Good sound and clear mic.

The surround sound is hit or miss, and when it misses, it misses very badly

Very good surround sound emulation.

The surround sound in particular fails to impress, muddying the soundstage and simply sounding inferior to Stereo

The sound was clear both connected wirelessly as well as wired to my controller

The sound for music is pretty good with their music preset, maybe sounds better than some of the wired gaming headsets I've used in the past

These sound outright horrible, and the software tries to compensate for this and possibly makes them sound even more distorted

Great sound and mic quality

Much better sounds

Had these for 6 months now - work GREAT - good sound and great microphone

but the sound was still nice and loud and clear sounding and the mic was still top notch

Sound is good

Good sound but too quiet over wireless.

Great sound, Mic is also very clear

And because of the lack of seal, the sound is awful

Sound is too soft and quiet

While some of the sound features don't work as well on the Xbox, I will say that it still produces a phenomenal sound, and even though the surround sound isn't as prominent, you'll still be able to depict gunfire and footsteps with ease.

My only dislikes are the surround sound if garbage, but easily fixed with a program

, theyre awesome sounding and very comfortable

Not to mention that the sound is superb

Sound seemed really good

Haven't had an issue with connection, and the sound is crystal clear both ways

Great Look, Good Sound

The sound was great, the software is pretty basic, but the most disappointing factor is that they are extremely uncomfortable

While these headphones are beautiful and have great sound, they place a lot of pressure on/around the ears

Amazing sound

Great Quality, Great sound, and with the 3rd party optional leather replacement earpad installed, it makes this one heck of a comfortable headset for gaming or for music.

So pissed so many say it has good sound

These are by far the best sounding and comfortable beyond anything I have experienced

Perfect for PC and amazing sound and bonus features to work wirelessly with PS4 and one 3.5mm cord for x-one

, sound is perfect, nice volume, nice range, no lag

I'm sure I could have found better sounding head phones for the price, but overall it has decent sound

The sound and microphone are amazing, the battery life is anything you could ask for

The mic sounds really good

Build Quality, Connectivity, Charge, MicBad: Directional sound, Heavy, Hot Ears

So if you've got a long head like me you'll end up extending the top as much as you can so you can bend the headset cups down to reach your ears-If I pay over $100 for a headset, the sound better damn well be more than mediocre

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

sound is good though

The good.-Great sound-Block out sound from outside-Noise cancelling

Comfy (at first) and good sound

Great sound and mic qualityGood build qualitySimple design, no silly lights or typical "gamer" flourishesCons:Not comfortableA real pain to set up, not plug n' play

When the headphones turn off, the external speakers make a loud thump sound

Sound is crisp and i hear all sounds from every angle

Great sound, hooks up easily to the PS4.

While the output sounds crisp and balanced, I was also impressed with the quality in input from the microphone

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

Great sound

The surround sound is good

Pros:-Great sound-Great mic

sure enough the sound I thought was missing was there

The surround sound is great when playing FPS games and very good when playing music

sound is clear, it's comfortable, the battery lasts a very long time and charges quickly

It doesn't support surround sound on the Xbox one

The sound is great

Great sound, great input, amazing range

The ear cups are a soft, pliable microfiber mesh that are comfortable and block out outside sound very well

The m50x has a very natural / clear sound with a little bit of extra

I am -very- unhappy about this.- Sound isn't as good as I feel like it should be, at this price point

Pros:-Sound is rich and full of body

With surround sound off music is fine, I ultimately turned it off and left it off

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

If you wan't music, the Bose QC 35 (v1) and my very old AiAiAi T2 have much better sound

Sound is great for me, but I'm no audiophile

The static sound actually helps me if I accidentally slide the volume wheel to 100% when I put the headset on I can hear the static and know to reduce the volume under 90% until the static goes

Good sound and mic low price

The sound on these are amazing!

Wireless, lag free, decent sound.

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?).

The sound and mic works very well

The sound and mic works very well

Although this headset has very good sound, it's not made for those with larger heads

Sound is terrific and the wireless connection is amazing

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

Great sound.

Sound 4.0/5:The sound is good, not great

Terrible quality, surround sound doesn't work, any changes to the equalizer just makes the sound even more distorted and cracking

I mostly play battlefield1 and oh my lantis is the sound crisp

The sound is really good too.

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

The sound is amazing

They had a weird tin sound listening to games, music, and movies

The new Arctis 7 provided me not only the comfort with the more relaxed cushion around the ears, the wireless mobility, and most importantly the 7.1 surround sound with cleaner sound, than the Siberia 800, that literally makes you feel like you're in the game

The overall sound is hollow compared to other wireless headsets I have, and I miss the "super human hearing" one set I owned had, however, that set was not built as solidly as these and failed structurally.

They work great, but it's stupid that it turns off on its own after 10 minutes of no sound and every time it does that, it makes a loud double beeping noise that scares the crap out of me because nothing has been playing through the headphones so the sound comes out of nowhere and almost scares me out of my chair.

The battery lasts forever, and the sound is great

Do not buy if you care about having good quality sound

Great sound, low and high is distinguishable, and bass isn't overpoweringComfortable fit, even with my glasses

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

LolSound - Good sound

Even when connected through the included wire the sound is still not great

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

The headset is very comfortable and provides fantastic sound

Great headset for the money, solidly built, good sound,

This was resolved by obtaining their $15 leather cups from their website (they initially wanted to charge me for these and only conceded to sending them free of charge after several back and forth emails).Secondly is the fact that they actually produce mediocre sound

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

The sound on the headset is amazing as well

Good sound, good quality

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

The sound is fantastic and I can always hear which direction people are coming from

SOUNDThe sound is great - but not for music

I had issues with the mic having static and popping sounds for the first few hours it did go away eventually not sure why that was happening

First of all, sound is great

Sound 4.0/5:The sound is good, not great

Positional sound is great for games like Pubg, and Rainbow Six Siege

However, bottom line, it took me out of the magic of gaming because the sound was so poor.

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

Bought these just for gaming and while they are amazing at giving quality surround sound in games, they also like I mentioned before can play music with incredibly crisp sound and extreme bass

I like my sounds

if you want a warm sound and like bass, do not buy these

but they sound great for music, and audio calls sound great and have had no complaints about my mic

I mainly use if for pc and let me just say, the surround sound is great

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

Wireless, lag free, decent sound.

The sound is really mushy, flat and even with much tweaking of the sound profile using their application it just was not what I expected

The sound is very clear, and I am very glad I gave these another shot.

The sound out of the box is great by its

Good sound, not great

These feel great, are built well, and are overall a good product, HOWEVER, considering that these are headphones and the primary purpose of headphones is to produce audio, these are one of the worst sounding headphones I've ever heard in my life, and I'm including $6 cell phone sets readily available here on Amazon

Unbelievable sounds

If you want to take the risk, at least you'll get two months of mostly good sound out of it.

My apple earbuds have much clearer sound, and 30 dollar Sennheisers too.

The sound on these headphones are clear, with just enough bass

Let's start with the good... item works, has GREAT sound, is easy to use, and has convenient buttons where you need them

The surround sound is a joke!

Nice sound

The sound is exceptional and can be adjusted to accommodate not only the gaming sounds but also turning the volume up and down on the people you communicate with during gaming

I'm a true audiophile and KNOW what a good sound should

Great range, clear sound, and so so comfy.

Good sound, vocal clarity is amazing

wondering what the mic sounds like on the arctis 7’s, wonder no more because this entire review was recorded using it

Turning it up to max on both my PC and the headset is simply not loud enough for games like CSGO where sound is extremely important

The sound from these is thankfully better than the Logitech headset but closer than one would hope to them than to either set of B&W's or even the Bose

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

The audio sounds great and they're very comfortable

It's light, comfortable, and the sound is crystal clear.

They are comfortable and block out outside sounds very well

Especially, when the sound, microphone, and comfort are lacking.

The sound is good.

very comfortable the sound for me is great.

and I’m able to hear very faint sounds in games that my friends

The sound is very clear, the headset is comfortable

I found this headset to be very solid, the sound is very sharp, I mainly use it for rainbow six siege which is a sound based game, I would recommend these to anybody who games alot.

Sound and voice are nice and crisp clear.

It was easy to update and the sound is phenomenal

I am not a audiophile and am fairly laid back when it comes to sound, but the sound was terrible and I don't feel like I am truly getting surround sound either

Sound was great and it has the ability to turn up game or chat

These things sound decent, feel pretty good over the ears

, sound is perfect, nice volume, nice range, no lag

The surround sound is hit or miss, and when it misses, it misses very badly

Anyways this headset has good sound for the

The sound is crystal clear and the mic is really good according to my friends that listen to me at least

Sound is great and others say my voice comes over nice and clear

These sound incredible and for the price there is no competition

Pros:Great sound with amazing base

Well made good sound.

Shortly after that I noticed that certain YouTube videos and streams will either have messed up/crackly sound like the games, or more commonly, just have no sound at all

Crystal clear sound, noise cancelling is perfect, and the headset is surprisingly comfortable

Even after installing their suggested software and trying to adjust the equalizer, you really can't escape bad sound.

's to absolutely amazing sound

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

Good sound without lags or drops.

The microphone has done an extremely good job cancelling outside noise, and the sound has been very clear

Sound is way better than my old Logitech headset

After this adjustment, these sound great.

Pros:•Comfortable and adjustable•Quality STEREO SOUND for consoles•Easy

but the sound was still nice and loud and clear sounding and the mic was still top notch

But unfortunately it has a tendency to lose all sound in the right ear

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

They look great, sound great, and withstand daily use perfectly.

Good battery life and great sound/build quality.

very good sound, nice to wear, light, fell down and was not broken

pure... cord free... sound

The surround sound in particular fails to impress, muddying the soundstage and simply sounding inferior to Stereo

I was aware that out of the box, a lot of people say the sound is pretty bad and that you have to download different software in order to tune it to the right specs

Minutes to set up and great sound

Loved the sound, the comfort, and look of the headset

The sound is excellent as far as I am concerned.

The mic sounds really nice and my voice comes through clearly

I actually LOVED this Headset, the sound is incredible and the MIC works

Amazing sounds.

, low sounds make a brrrrrrrt noise.)3.

You don't get a rich nice sound...not great sound quality

This delivers clear, directional sounds, and the wireless works perfectly from about 6 feet away from the sender.

The sound is crap

The good: Sound is great

DR nice headset, good clear unhyped sound, not worth the regular price though.

Great sound and mic quality though

Bluetooth connection is unstable at best, most of the time it includes a slightly static sound in the background 24/7 no matter where I was in the house

The sound is decent and can get better by downloading equalizer APO on PC

Sound is decent, mic is decent, but after wearing for long periods, my ears start hurting

There are 6 equalizer settings you can adjust for different frequencies, so, for instance, you can make footsteps sound louder than a door opening (presuming the sounds are different frequencies

The sound on these are great, but for the hours of gaming at a time, I really like how comfortable they are.

Comfy, fantastic battery life, great sound

I love these headphones, the sound is great and they are very easy to wear

Everyone says how much better my voice sounds (mic is incredible, buttery smooth) and all the settings/buttons help make it a great addition for gaming, discord and video/podcast

What happens when you go out of range is that there's this ear-bleed popping sound that you hear which i hate

To start with, they have a decent and clear sound.

I would not recommend this headset since it does not provide accurate footsteps and the sound is terrible

Thought they were going to diminish the sound but the sound is also crisp and can hear the slightest noise in Gears 4 and also beautiful sound in The Order 1886

Good sound, responsive bluetooth

The sound is amazing

These are not for cranking music but at maximum output the sound was superb

Sound is good but for some reason the microphone doesn't work on the Xbox

Yes, the surround sound sucks, but I did not have high expectations for virtual surround sound anyways

Good build quality, and sound, but the mic brings this set down, the processors in the mic have a nasally sound to it and its worse for women or children that must effect the higher tones in their voices.

If you are wanting to play games with them I would recommend installing Razor Surround Sound with it as well

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

Sound is great and no one has complained about mic quality

Good sound and sound controls

But now I am accustomed, this 7.1 virtual sound is more powerful than the real 7.1 of RAZER tiamat

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 sound is nice, crisp and clear, but slightly lacks bass

the 7.1 sound is terrible, even after trying to adjust it with and without third party programs

Maybe it will come over time, but it's almost like the sounds are not as loud and are harder to tell where and how far they are

Comfortable, connect easily, and provide great sound

I can't make any comments on the mic quality since I have a separate mic, but the sound is great.

Combined with the passive sound dampening, this makes your own voice sound weird and muted

It tends to muddy the sound from games

Comfortable, and great sound.

The mic is also has great sound and its easy to see if you are muted or not

Amazing sound and very comfortable to wear.

crappy integrate sound really made me mad

The sound is clear, and mic is good.

Pros:Absolutely amazing sound

Sound truly is lag free, and the range is excellent

Sound is great.

The sound will almost surely not disappoint, for whatever use you have for it

Don't expect top of the line sound quality but in my opinion the Sound is clear, the bass is sufficient, and not overly heavy

Long range, easy pairing, long battery life, very comfortable, sounds great, looks stylish, easy adjustment

The sound is super clear and I can hear some things that I couldn't hear before in games

Pros -Very crisp sound, but you'll have to dial it in for your tastes

Nice build quality, great sound out of the box, and fair price in my opinion

Poor fitting, painful on the ears, very mono sound, good battery life

The mute button can also be hard to find at times but the sound is nice.

Clear sound, great battery life, quick charging, and wonderful feel.

I feel like these are pretty good communications headphones, but that they lack good punchy low-end bass sounds.

Stays connected, good battery life, clear sound, clear voice

Excellent sound and chat

But again the sound isn't that great

My old headset cost less than half the price and had much better sound

The sound on them is hollow and barely has any real OOMPH to it

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

sound is good

He said my other $50 headset sounded extremely nice but this one sounded terrible

For Honor, even Call of Duty/Battlefield- pretty decent surround sound to detect movement or respond to spatial awareness cues

disable this and its a decent sounding headset to me

Sound is clear, volume is easily adjusted, no issues with its connectivity as of yet

The SteelSeries engine sound profiles don't improve the sound at all, either

Sound isn't mind blowing and the mic is alright

They produce a crystal clear sound for all occasions, and accurately depicts directional sound such as footsteps and gunfire.

Most presets sounded terrible, but one (Dynamic, I think?

Comfortable, Good sound, Great mix, and lasts long

The sound is awesome though.

Pros:-Clean sound output-Microphone is very accessible and is clear to those on the other side-Very comfortable around the ears and fits well on the headCons:-The sound was clear

super comfortable; spectactular sound.

The G933 has impeccably clear sound, and while I was initially displeased with the Arctis 7 sound quality, after some (a few hours of) settings/equalizer

I like them, good sound

The sound was terrible

I would instead suggest buying Razer's ManO'War headset, the sound is outstanding and I can adjust it easily to fit my head perfectly and the price is nearly the same.

after he’s a gamer), great sound

The audio range was also a bit poor in that if you had good game sound, you had bad music, if you had good music settings, you had bad game sound

All of my games sounded a little crisper but an explosion sounded like a pomeranian just barked at me

Great fit on my larger head, fold flat for travel, good sound and volume.

Extremely comfortable and nice sound, cut the wires!!!!

The Arctis 7 is the complete opposite: a well-built headset with poor sound.

I also tried 3 other headsets, including the Logitech G933 (which I'm keeping because it's way better) as well as the ROCCAT Kave 5.1 (weak sound and the true 5.1 surround was surprisingly worse than the virtual 7.1 on the Logitech), and the Corsair void rgb (couldn't even test it because the dongle was nonfunctional and failed to install

I cannot recommend this headset enough if you want a great sounding and comfortable wireless headset.

The G933 has impeccably clear sound, and while I was initially displeased with the Arctis 7 sound quality, after some (a few hours of) settings/equalizer

Very comfortable, high quality sound, volume max level is a little low.

Great sound, clear voice.easy connection to PC.

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?).

Fits like a charm, sounds great, battery has decent lifetime

I'm always a few feet from the usb transmitter and have never had any issue with lag or sound delay

Projects crystal clear sound to everyone, across all platforms.-Beautiful sleek design.-High quality materials that, when held, are absolutely tantalizing.-Battery lifespan meets and/or exceeds expectations and limitations

Although a nice headset, it was no where near as awesome sounding as this one

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

Left and right sounds overpowered forward and backward sounds

Once you've installed this, the sound is pretty good.- Microphone

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

Terrific sound and very comfortable for my big head but still fits my son when he plays

He said my other $50 headset sounded extremely nice but this one sounded terrible

The mic sounds great

Sound is nice

Sound is great for gaming

These are some of the worst sounding headphones I've ever put on my head

:The surround sound is not very accurate at all, often I found myself asking my teammates where gunshots are coming from because I was unable to locate

Great build quality, excellent sound, very confortable for any head, I just can't live without them anymore

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

However, the sound greatly outmatches the Turtle Beach Stealth 500Ps that they replaced, and taking the time to fine-tune the sound to your needs is worth it

They are very dim sounding out of the box and the Engine

Amazing sound

They don't have noise cancelling but are very good at isolating outside sound, and with even medium volume you can't hear most outside sounds

I feel like these are pretty good communications headphones, but that they lack good punchy low-end bass sounds.

The sound is amazing

Easy setup, great sounds, good battery, the features are what sold me

Amazing Sound...even without the 7.1.

Out of the box, these sound terrible

great quality and sound

A bit on the heavy side but overall great built quality and sound.

Great sound

Beautiful design, wonderful sound and amazing comfort.

Guess what sound then is produced by the mic - right - the noise, mostly

Incredible sound and the life time of the battery is great, they are only a little small for my head in my opinion.

I had this product for less than a day and all I can say is, when I am promised surround sound and spatial sound after paying $120, I expect both to work let alone have good quality

It is clear though, just not natural sounding

: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/65ogu1/best_arctis_7_equalizer_settings/But the sound is not very loud

The 7.1 is trash in games, especially if you play PUBG, CS, or any other shooter when you would like well adjusted sound for $170

Sound truly is lag free, and the range is excellent

Most "realistic" sounds I have had from a gaming headset

The surround sound is weak not nearly as good as some competitors sets which I have.

Sound is great, best headphones I have ever

Have been trying to adjust it for a good surround sound

Out of the box, the EQ is a little off and required some fine tuning via third party software to get the right sound.

Maybe it will come over time, but it's almost like the sounds are not as loud and are harder to tell where and how far they are

The sound is nice, crisp and clear, but slightly lacks bass

Connection issues, audio quality issues , flat sounds .. terrible.

I can walk 30 feet away from receiver and still get clear sound

Really crisp sounds and clear

Great product, battery lasts for days between charges, crystal clear sound, everyone says mic sounds great

Mind blowing ALL DAY comfort, great sound, great microphone, great build quality and feel, beautiful simple design, could not be happier.

Sound is great and no one has complained about mic quality

The sound is crisp, the headset is comfortable on my big head, and the microphone is very clear

The Arctic 7’s don’t just sound amazing for “wireless” they sound amazing period

wondering what the mic sounds like on the arctis 7’s, wonder no more because this entire review was recorded using it

My kid got straight A’s for a year to get these and they don’t work

At 150 dollars my old Man O' War headset blows this out of the water

super awesome =D
