After two years and 8 months of use, the headphones sound fine, but the plastic is disintegrating and above all the headphones no longer work. What a shame for a headphone costing more than 300 euros. I kept my Logitech headphones for 49.90€ for 10 years !!!!! A disgrace for this brand.
Hello, I'd like to explain this title.
The sound is really good, good bass and many settings,
But far too many problems for this price:
- The headphones go out of sync with the base, which prevents them from being used.
- You can't recharge it without the base (micro usb cable not supplied)
- You don't need a big head as the top foam can be detached.
- Really poor microphone compared to the much cheaper Corsair
However, the cushions are loveable and the sound is either via Auxiliary or fibre optics.
So for the price I think there's better but it does the job.
A little present for my husband, who's delighted! The sound is insane. I didn't really exist before, but now I'm almost invisible. I guess that means the headphones have great noise reduction x)
Simple installation, software and drivers directly and only from the Microsoft Store. I'm not a fan of the Microsoft Store, a bit old fashioned on that side I prefer to have an old fashioned executable. But it works, no worries.
The headset itself looks solid, well built and very comfortable. I love the fabric type pads, more durable over time than a leatherette that will quickly crumble over time.
The headset can be used straight out of the box without any special configuration. The sound is quite neutral, but not unpleasant. A passage by the equalizer of the software will know to return all that more flattering. A very important aspect that is not specified in the manual is that virtualisation must be activated in the headset's Windows sound settings and the headset's Dolby must be deactivated (to be activated for use on PS4/5). Dolby on Windows will flatten the sound balance, and therefore lose the virtualisation.
The battery life is good, nothing to say. I didn't push it to the point of running out of power, but in my use, which can last up to 7 hours, I've used up half the battery at most.
Is it worth the price? It's very expensive for me, but if it holds up over time I'll be able to say if I still have it in 5 years (at least) that it will have been worth its 350€ price. After all the rest it's a big yes. The sound and functionality are top notch.
Silk on the ears, great sound, microphone too (I only had to add a windscreen in the summer because of my fan), the charging stand is great, every time you pick it up it's at 100% battery (unless it hasn't had time to charge but that's another story).
So nothing to complain about everything works perfectly after I'm not a great music lover but for what I use it suits me 100%!
Now we just have to see what it will be worth over time, hoping it will last more than two years ??
