Good for large heads
on October 11, 2016
Posted by: sention
I have an XXL head, 24 inches around. I have had to wear earbuds forever because nothing is big enough that's decently priced. Either my ears get crushed or my head gets put in a vice just above the ears. I once snapped a pair of my friend's Skull Candy's in half just trying to fit it on my head.
I got these and immediately noticed that there is no kung fu grip on my skull like every other pair out there. If I can feel pressure while putting it on, I'll feel pain 15 minutes later. Not with these puppies. No pressure on the skull and my ears aren't smashed against something. I don't even feel the headband due to the way it distributes weight across the top of the head, and the ear cups are very comfy and breathable. I got them last night and put in several hours of Destiny on PS4 without a problem (something I have never been able to do with any other headphones I've ever seen at this price point.)
As for sound quality, I have the same thoughts as everyone else really. Sound doesn't favor any particular range, and isn't bad. It's by and large better than any earbuds you'll find anywhere near this price.
In summary: thank Odin for these headphones. I hope SteelSeries keeps this line going because when these wear out, I'll be looking for another.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Connect your digital audio devices with this cable that sends digital surround sound audio signals through Toslink digital audio (S/PDIF) jacks. Precision-made connectors ensure an ideal fit.

I bought this for my tritton ax 720 headset. Easy to install. But i noticed that the sound quality was worse...i could barely hear any footsteps around me, while gaming online. The digital optical cable that came with the headset though being very skinny, works better than the rocketfish brand cable. So if you are looking to upgrade to a "better" optical cable..dont do it because the best cable for the headset comes with the headset.

Plugs too big
September 14, 2013
Got a new TV and figured "the only doao cable in the whole bloody store will fit, right?" WRONG! The plugs don't fit my older model receiver nor my brand new TV.
