Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Warm, balanced sound with good bass; games and films sound big
  • Clear mic that chat apps clean up well
  • Thick padding, fits a large head
  • Went a full test week without charging
  • Strong mids with solid bass and treble
  • Cool mesh cups, comfy floating band for long sessions
  • Flip-to-mute boom mic

Cons

  • Music sounds close and narrow
  • Fabric pads get warm after a couple of hours
  • No Xbox support; SoundID blocks the EQ while on
  • Mic clarity only passable and it can't be removed
  • Can't mix 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth audio
  • About 18 h with RGB in their use; band has no height slider
  • Treble can get harsh
  • A strong pick for surround gaming and daily use: warm sound, a clear mic and long battery, though music sounds closed-in.

  • PCWorldNov 2023

    Close to an ideal gaming headset for sound, comfort and platform support; a removable mic and simultaneous connections are missing.

  • A comfortable, well-built headset with huge battery life and flexible connections; worth its premium.

  • GamesRadar+Apr 2024

    Does what a mid-range headset should: rich sound, sturdy build and great battery, let down by the mic and lack of simultaneous audio.

  • An excellent gaming headset and a worthy successor, strongest on battery, software and mic.
