I do play PS4 in my livingroom, so currently I'm putting a chair up in the middle so I can play (everyone is usually in bed when I get to game - so not a big deal), but I'm looking to purchase longer cords on amazon so I can start sitting on my couch again. But seriously, even if I had to do all my future gaming from the chair, it would be worth it! These sound amazing. Got them for $199 this week at Best Buy.

    Wife bought me these for Fathers Day Gift and I am just a person who likes sound but can never really tell if something is better or worse if its close. I will say I came from a simple Logitech Headset to these and the sounds are incredible. I am currently playing Assasian Creed Syndicate again for the 4th time and I must say when you are running down the street you can hear every little detail. The other day I heard someone sawing a piece of wood. Now to most people you might say big deal but I have to say it really makes you feel like your living inside the virtual world and that it is realistic.

I agree with the strap and longer/sturdier cord I was worried about the size of this headset but you wearing them gives guarantees they'll fit my head too. (having a big head sucks sometimes)

    I've had the Arctis 5 and Pro. They have great mic sound, and decent sound quality... That being said, just know right now that comes at a price. And that price is NO bass. These have practically no low end. All the Logitech Gxxx series headphones I have owned have MUCH better bass. I buy the Steelseries because of the toughness of the headband. I break headbands. I have yet to break a Steelseries headband. All my Logitechs broke their headbands at the pivot.

Also if you're on your computer, most mobos have audio Control software where you can adjust the sound. So I assume you could add even more bass through that?

    @@ironman98 Both sets of Steelseries I've owned (Arctis 5 and Pro) eventually developed a glitch in one of the ears where you would have to hold them in a certain way to get the earpiece to play sound. It was if there was a short or loose wire inside. Both sets of Steelseries headphones failed in the exact same way eventually. I tore the Arctis apart, thinking I could just fix whatever the problem was. But they don't come apart nicely at all. And once inside I could find nothing that would have caused the problem. So, I had to throw them both away. I went back to buying Logitech headsets again, which I wasn't happy about at all, due to their propensity to break headbands.

    I bought the wireless version and they are awesome. I previewed the wired pro + DAC before and they have identical quality and the wireless ones come with some awesome features like blue tooth connectivity to a secondary device so i can accept calls while gaming. The software will attenuate the games volume so I can hear my call. They can get really loud if you disable auto volume management which is great for me because my logitechs never got loud enough when I listen to my metal. There's a line in and out on the back of the wireless dac so when my headphones either die or are turned off the dac automatically switches output to my speakers. Finally another awesome feature that is kinda niche for most people but is perfect for me is the audio pass through on the headphones them selves. If my GF and I are watching a movie on the PS4 while someones gaming loudly and chatting on the pc across the room we can plug in another set of headphones to arctis to isolate ourselves. The Price is steep at $328 but compared to my $3500 pc it's a must for high end audio especially if you also own a PS4 in the home.

    Totally in love with these totally over priced cans. Note that over the holidays some sweet deals where available with added hard case and speaker covers at the same price. Also big price drops. Just look around for a better deal. Overall these are an awesome combination of great sound and features. 3D sound processing is great for movies with surround audio but are weaker for gaming. Honestly I think it’s the dated games I play versus the newer AAA titles. I can’t even explain the difference to MY ears when playing back true hi resolution audio. It’s almost like the audio is smoother and less digitized with more details to be heard. I love them and don’t have any plans to return them!

    i got the wireless version. they are pretty awesome for wireless. I took the a50s back for arctis pro wireless. The astro have a low cap on volume level. The arctis pro wireless get very loud to the point where i can back it down to where its comfortable and not distorted.

    i have those and they do sound really good. I love the controls. They were super uncomfortable to me so I had to replace the earpads with some thicker ones. Once I did that they were great. I use them on my ps4. I also have the pc37x but I use those on my pc with a separate headphone amplifier because I didn't think they were loud enough. Those sound great also but I do like the Steelseries a little better.

    Never seen your channel, Thanks for this review, my set arrives tomorrow and I feel more confident in my purchase, I took the audio system though and not the gameDAC.

    I got mine 2 months ago and I swear the sound is amazing and ppl in discord kept asking what kind of mic you’re using and they shocked that I’m using a headset microphone it is crystal clear and I recommend buying it. I’m using the Artics Pro + GameDac and one more thing if you bought this turn the DTS 2.0V OFF mark my word you would enjoy it and for the Equalizer preset put it on SMILY. 👍🏼

Although they are pricey by gaming headset standards they're not that expensive by audio headphone standards.

    I just bought one, but I think I have a problem. If I choose the "sidetone" i start to hear a reverb also if in "low", same thing for "gain", I hear a reverb also if is on "low". Moreover when I connect it on PS4, my mates also heard a loud reverb. I tried all the settings possible but nothing has changed. I connected it on a PC and same story. Only on the phone was ok, so I'm thinking I have some kind of problems with the mic, I don't know what to think. What can you suggest me?
