Great sound

The sound is great no doubt about it.
However. Using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Audio Cable - 5 pole to 4 pole like those I used 25 years ago is the dummest idea EVER. The first headset got a problem with the mic and the replacement got the dual 3.5mm Extension Cable not working at all (no sound, no mic)

I got these for my girlfriend and she uses them every night. They work for what she needs, they let her talk with us in discord and hear the game shes focusing on clearly. Now they aren't really surround sound but for a cozy gamer they'll take care of you just fine.

Just bought the headset last month and it works great! It did take some figuring out how to use with the Sonar though. However once I got it set up it sounded great.

Overall very functional

I found that the headset is very similar to my arctis nova pros with some cheaper components but otherwise function the same. Probably won't last very long but they are cheap enough that it's too much of a problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very premium feeling headset at a budget

Bought this to replace my Arctis 3 headset, mic quality is exceptional and sound is great - especially at this price point. Overall feels good, only issue is the headset isn’t quite as comfortable as my old Arctis 3 as earcups are a bit small and firm.
I would recommend this to a friend!

this is a good headset but the connection with the jack is not so good. seems to be lagging a bit if its no in at the perfect spot. i took it with a whire besauce i use it for work and i need to use it on my phone and on my laptop. so i am constantly changer depending on the work im doing. sometime i am listening to music on the computer and i have a call so i unplug and plug fast on the phone to take the call. other than that this i a really good headset. sound is great, and the feeling on the head is perfection. its my second headset with your compagnie and you are rellay the best. Ive tried a lot of my friend headset and yours are better. love the feeling and the quality
I would recommend this to a friend!
