Reviews around option (4.53 of 5)

  • I don't like the Arctis as much for music and movies as the BW/BO options.
  • The only problem I found on this headset is that is not very comfy for people with big ears (or big heads), sadly makes my ear get red every time i wear them for long periods and it just doesn't feel right, for the price i would expect something better or at least an option to buy bigger earcups
  • If you primarily game on an Xbox there are better options for you
  • I have talked with support and asked various things but support does not go past the basic scripted responses when you ask about things Also since no plans are to improve volume with better options besides 2 settings and turning the equalizer to max on every line if you have any issues of hearing stay far away from this headset and company and just find yourself a sound card that will give you the options you might need or want
  • There are much better options then these out of the box.-Update: 4/1/2018 The sound improvement for this version and not the Wireless edition like other reviews are talking about has improved but still overall semi low compared to other options for same price PC wise

Reviews around battery (4.48 of 5)

  • The sound quality is fantastic, the mic quality is excellent, the battery life is superb, and having two batteries is extremely convenient
  • Great battery system, effective range, gaming performance and a decent mic
  • I was having Astro A50 generation 1 for a long time, and it was great until the battery was not great
  • I love the spare battery and the ability for the base to charge it; no waiting for recharge of having to switch to wired.
  • I'm confused as to why something at this price range has such an unadjustable headband and such a small one

Reviews around build (4.33 of 5)

  • The headset is very well built, maybe a little on the heavy side in comparison to others but still very comfortable
  • If you get a chance to try these in person before buying them I would, because everyone's ears like different soundscapes, and if you manage to enjoy the soundscape of these and can get over the mic quality they are a very well build headset.
  • Pros:-Light, you can easily forget you're wearing them-Ski Goggle band is extremely comfortable-Headset is well built, don't think you'd manage to break them without heavy abuse-Wireless
  • The headset is well built, for the most part, I'm worried that the cups will fall off at the hinge their connected at
  • Poor build quality.

Reviews around comfort (4.10 of 5)

  • The comfort is good, but you never forget you have them on your head and your ears won't sweat
  • For the very high price point I expected MUCH better comfort for the ears.
  • Cons:- General comfort
  • Comfort is great and the mic picks up very well (make sure you position it properly).
  • The quality of the manufacture is very excellent - the sound is good - the comfort on the head is good but after three hours feel the pressure on the ears - my assessment 4.5 / 5

Reviews around mic (4.10 of 5)

  • Also, the retractable mic works superbly well and disappears when unwanted/unneeded.
  • The mic was fine and usable, just disappointing for the price
  • Headsets in this price range always have usually great sound quality but a mediocre mic
  • I just hate the floppy mic which is positioned right next to the volume wheel
  • Turn off sidetone in the DAC or you get that gross mic echo and turn gain to high, pretty much necessary to get any good sound out of the headset.

Reviews around audio (3.75 of 5)

  • I found the audio to be worse than my 5 year old skull candy headsets
  • Yes a wired connection is going to have better quality audio as of now until technology advances but for WIRELESS headphones you can't get any better
  • Overall, they're a great pair of headphones with exceptional audio and wireless range with an average microphone
  • Audio is a downgrade from the wide soundstage of the Astro A40'sIf I could, I would love to rate this product 2.5 stars
  • I'm confused as to why something at this price range has such an unadjustable headband and such a small one

Reviews around gaming (3.64 of 5)

  • I'm confused as to why something at this price range has such an unadjustable headband and such a small one
  • This is the best sounding "gaming" headset I have used and the features the dac provides make for a great package worthy of the relatively high price
  • In all I still believe this is the best gaming headset on sale.
  • This noise can be herd at other times aka gaming or listening to music but its harder to identify as so much is going on
  • and youve got the best wireless gaming headset available today!

Reviews around look (3.61 of 5)

  • Look and build: I prefer the look of Arctis Pro Wireless
  • I just HATE that look
  • It is a bit more modern and sleek looking than the Siberia 800
  • Overall I would 100% recommend this headset if you are looking for an upgrade to a headset on the higher end
  • I didn't like the look made me wonder if it had been deformed or damaged in shipping, but when I got second unit I realized they're just like that

Reviews around price (2.07 of 5)

  • Obvious downside of these is price, there are a lot of options at the 250 price point
  • Love the mix and mute button, the adjustments on it would be the straps to have more of a reach for those with smaller heads, and after a while it hurts ur ears but the sounds great and it’s good for a cheap enough price
  • Cons:-Hefty price, but it's worth it compared to other $200-$300 headsets-Optional leather ear pads cause damage to speaker, read below-Any issue you may have after powering on the system, such as low mic volume or not being recognized initially after powering on your system, is fixed permanently by using an external usb power source other than the ps4, read below
  • Jack- Reasonably comfortableHere is what I like less:- Price
  • Audio is a very subjective topic but for me, $300 is a steep price to pay when I can get an equal sounding pair of headphones for a third of the price (HyperX 2)

Reviews around placement (1.95 of 5)

  • There shouldn't be so many issues with a top-of-the-line headset -- the touchy microphone placement is my biggest gripe
  • I'm confused as to why something at this price range has such an unadjustable headband and such a small one
  • but it's actually a bug because microphone placement is very finicky
  • n’t supporting it quite yet in the software
  • I never had an issue again with the device not being enabled after powering on the system and my mic volume has continued to work as

  • I never had an issue again with the device not being enabled after powering on the system and my mic volume has continued to work as
  • I'm confused as to why something at this price range has such an unadjustable headband and such a small one
  • The mute button has a nice texture which is easy to find while in game, but it's made of cheap plastic
  • (It lasted me a solid 5 years total) until I cracked the stupid plastic swivel that held the left cup to the rest of the headset
