I want so much to love this headset...
I was excited to get another headset from Steel Series, My old one I have had forever and I loved it so much... I had the SteelSeries Siberia v2 and broke my heart when it started to act up and not work anymore. To be fair though I had that headset for almost 3 years and I took very good care of it. This one? Well I was super happy to find a headset that had the air weave cushions for the ears... Leather is SOO SOO hot... these are super comfortable, and I love wearing them... but theres a catch... The strap on the top to "adjust" it so it fits everyone? well it doesnt... The headset constantly slips off my head since its too large for me, the velcro isnt really adjustable. If I tip my head back even an inch it just falls off. Ive tried to adjust it and it just cant be fixed.. Now for the mic, it is not clear my old one was super clear and I sounded like myself. Now? This is not clear at all, its tinny and I sound distorted.. I am so very disappointed but I have no choice but to stick with them since I cant get my hands on another set of Siberia for cheap ( ish ) Next thing I absolutely HATE about this headset, its the wire... Its split into three parts, two if you are using it with PC like I am. You have a wire that goes from the headset to the middle of the full length of the wire.. You connect it there to a button that is so sensitive that if you bump it even a little, it messes with the sounds. Lowering the sounds of some things and making other things louder. I get thats its function, but its soo so so so sensitive. That is my third point of what I hate about this headset... The button in the middle of the wire. Its fine that its there, but why is it so easy to move? Just bumping it with my elbow? or it brushing on my arm? come on... I wouldnt recommend these to anyone. I would shop around... This is a bad headest imo... and rather expensive ( which I dont mind because I pay for quality I would be fine with the price if the product wasnt so badly designed.
