Great sounding headphones
Very happy with these. Sound, fit and comfort are all very good, even if you wear glasses. Great battery life and connects easily to my PC with the supplied dongle. As an added bonus, you can use the Steelseries software on PC to easily tweak the EQ settings to get even more from the headset. Recommended.

Perfect
I bought these for my boyfriend, who is a gamer and streamer, and he absolutely loves them. The sound quality is really good and the mic is clear, which is perfect for streaming. Battery life is great, they charge quickly, and he finds them very comfortable even during long sessions. Would definitely recommend.

Good mic, app is alright.
The app is functional and features are there, although to gain full functionality need to connect to another app on a computer instead of phone which is interesting but nonetheless annoying if you dont have a pc. Comfy on the ears though a little tight for people with glasses. The size of the speakers makes the sound come accross less dynamic than other headphones in its price bracket. Also there is an issue with connectivity, where i have to restart my console in order for the headphones to connect properly. Ive gone through the motions of trouble shooting but it doesnt stop the problem from reappearing. Once they connect its all good, but if you'rein the middle of a late night game and need to switch to headphones, its jarring. These headphones came recommended to me and i see why because for their price point they do offer a complete set of features, but they aren't for me to be honest. Another set of headphones i had were able to connect to both my xbox and my phone at the same time (very useful feature) but these have a button where you have to switch between the 2. Coming from the TB Stealth gen 2 700s these feel like a downgrade sadly.
