Great function and sound
A very comfortable helmet packed with practical features, good autonomy and lots of quality.
Average sound quality, but for the price it's a very good product.Review automatically translated -

Yes, but... you can do a lot better...
My sony mdr xb950b1 broke, so I bought these headphones as replacements for two main reasons: noise reduction and the ability to plug my computer and phone into them.
It's a headset I chose for work, given that I'm in an environment where there can be noise, the ambient noise reduction could really be a plus. However, in the end it wasn't great.
The most complicated part is the connection between the headphones and my computer.
If you leave the headphones without music for 15 minutes, they disconnect.
You have to go and pick up the transmitter, press it for 5 seconds or unplug it and plug it back in so that the headphones are connected to the computer again. It's tedious...
At times, the headset disconnects and you hear beeps in the middle of a song or conversation.
Nor is it possible to pause the music when you receive a call. You can reduce the sound, but you have to go to your PC to pause it.
The same goes for pausing the music. When someone comes to talk to me, I have to physically move to the PC to pause the music, pressing the Bluetooth button doesn't work when the headset is connected to the transmitter. Once again, it's tedious. On my old headset, when I had a call, I pressed the button to answer and the music paused automatically...
The sound is very good, but it's not really ergonomic or practical to use, which is a shame.Review automatically translated -

Disappointed
I bought this item at the end of 2020, it will go back for the second time in SAV.
First time the power button doesn't work anymore after only 6 months...
And now the headset suddenly turns off without warning even though it has battery power...
When the battery is low and I plug in the headset, it emits a whistling sound in the ears, and worse, the microphone turns on to emit this noise in the vocal chanel...
A headset of this range should not have so many problems!
On the other hand, it is comfortable, not too heavy, the sound is very good, and the autonomy more than correctReview automatically translated -

Good helmet, very bad driver
The headset itself is quite good, comfortable, good sound, good autonomy, correct microphone.
On the other hand, the software that comes with it (SteelSeries Engine) is a disaster. Not because its ergonomics are bad, no, but because it makes the headset unusable on my PC (Ryzen 7 5800X + 32GB of ram). As soon as it's installed, I can't get any sound on Discord or Youtube (whose videos start lagging in slide show mode). As soon as it is uninstalled, everything works fine again.
It's a handicap because the software hides the EQ and the management of the spatialization of the sound.
The headset works without it (hence the score of 4 and not 0), but it is deprived of its functionality.
I'll have to sell it and get another brand (because logically all steelseries headphones are affected since it's the common program that causes the problem)
For information, I have had this headset for 4 months, I wanted to see if an update would correct the problem, it is still not the case.Review automatically translated
