Got these guys during the holiday season for an amazing price and am extremely happy with the purchase. Sound quality is great, though the rubber eartips were a bit uncomfortable and had a good amount of sound leakage - this caused lows to be pretty faint or quiet. I remedied this by using Comply brand replacement eartips also purchased at Best Buy and it made them feel and sound like a more expensive pair of headphones. Battery life is on par for what you'd realistically expect out of light sport-centric Bluetooth earbuds, so no complaints there. I appreciated the magnetic clasping feature that prevents them from falling off your neck when you aren't using them. They also came with a nice carrying pouch, which was a pleasant surprise at this price point. Overall, a great buy for anyone on a budget looking for a decent pair of BT buds, as long as you can put up with the stock eartips or don't mind replacing them like I did.

For being a fairly small speaker, this thing outputs quite a bit of sound. The microphone was also able to pick up my voice a considerable distance away in my apartment (15 feet away in the kitchen with the door ajar from my bedroom), which was pretty impressive.

I've been a fan of SteelSeries headsets ever since the original Siberias, but since their recent offerings were a little underwhelming I was excited to see that they were looking to revamp their line with the Arctis series.
The earcups are made of easily the best feeling material I've ever had the pleasure of using on a PC gaming headset. They're essentially made of a very soft and plush foam covered by what they call their "airweave" fabric, which feels like the type of material you'd have on an athletic shirt/jersey. It stays very cool, so if in your experiences you tend to get overheated around your ears, these guys should help keep those ear temps down. Wearing glasses with them on also did not impact the comfort of this headset for me, which is a major bonus. Even though they're made of the foam/fabric material, they still did a decent job at isolating outside sound/noises. The ski mask head strap also helps with the comfort and can be adjusted to your liking. Note that you can purchase leather or velour replacement earcups from SteelSeries' website if you prefer those earcup materials over the ones that come with these or just want better sound isolation via the leather earcups (the ski mask head strap is also replaceable/customizable, as SteelSeries offers a nice selection of colors and designs on their website as well)
My favorite feature with this headset is definitely the chat/game audio mixer, which allows you to adjust how loud one channel is in relation to the other at the same time. The USB interface allows the headset to show up as two distinct audio outputs (one labeled Game and the other Chat), so all you would have to do is make sure all your game audio is outputting to the Game channel and all your VOIP/in-game voice chat outputs to the Chat channel (some games may already do this by default). Rather than constantly manually adjusting game volume vs. chat volume from the sources, I just use the included dial to make the adjustments. Brilliant!
Sound quality is pretty decent - I had to adjust the EQ settings within the SteelSeries Engine software because the defaults were pretty flat in my opinion, but things sounded pretty great afterwards (I'm currently using the "Performance" EQ at this time). The software allows the headset to also simulate DTS 7.1 surround, though I haven't had to turn that feature on since a lot of my games have simulated surround built into them already.
Build quality is great overall as well. The entire headset is made of a very sturdy plastic material, and the earcups are on a nice, smooth swivel. It's a pretty lightweight headset, so I've been able to have long gaming sessions without having that weird extra head weight feeling.
I'd definitely recommend this headset if you're looking for something that's a little lighter feeling and more comfortable without sacrificing sound quality. The game/chat mixer might improve your quality of life when it comes to gaming, and you'll wish SteelSeries had come up with that earcup material much, much sooner (seriously, I found it THAT comfortable).
