Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Shipping: I ordered these with the expectation of receiving them about 5 or 6 days later. I ended up receiving them 2 days later. This was a nice little unexpected bonus! Price: $159.99 for a legit wireless set is a pretty good deal. SteelSeries is still trying to sell their wireless Siberia model for $255.99. The number of cheap wireless Logitech sets may tempt you, but the reported poor sound quality and horrible battery life should deter you. Packaging: As always, the packaging from HyperX is clean and minimalistic. You get everything in one nice little box. I observed no damage or indents to the box upon opening. Product Appearance: Mostly black, which I like. Has the option for a minimal lighting effect, which can be turned off to save battery life. I enjoy the matte finish as opposed to the high gloss of some headsets. Appearance is always something that HyperX gets right. Sound Quality: You need to keep in mind that this headset is wireless. That means you will be able to tell the difference if you are used to playing games while wearing $400 top of the line wired sets. But for me, a normal dude who isn’t a sound technician, these have great sound quality. I have mostly used them for playing FPS (Fortnite, Overwatch) and also watched 2 movies while wearing them. The sound quality feels the same as my wired HyperX set. Microphone Quality: My friends have no complaints about my volume or voice quality while in calls together. Big bonus points for the fact that the mic is detachable. You may not like this option if you are prone to losing small objects. But I personally like taking the mic out. Battery: I have about 25 hours on these bad boys and have not charged. Of course I have had the red lights turned off. Maybe I should have waited for them to die before writing this part of the review? Sorry about that. Range: I can head to the kitchen for a fresh Crispy Boy or go into the bathroom with these on and have no disconnection issues. I have not tested further than about 30 yards. Feel & Comfort: Much more comfortable that my Cloud2 set. Even with glasses, they are still very comfortable, which is the main problem I have with most gaming headsets. Light weight but still snug. No annoyance or irritation after a long gaming session. Features: Most notable feature to me is the volume control on the set. The dial is larger, which I like and has a more tactile feel, as compared to other sets. What I Don’t Love: Please be aware - this issue is probably just a tech issue on my end. I am unable to get sound through my desk speakers when I have the USB dongle plugged in. Even when I have the headset turned off!! I have to unplug the USB dongle from my computer in order to get sound on my desk speakers. Again, this is probably just a sound setting that I need to look at and tweak. TLDR: Got to my door super quick. Reasonable price for wireless. Looks great. Feels great. Sounds great. Mic works well. Battery lasts for at least 25 hours. Really comfortable.
