        Ignition problem

        This is the second time I've bought this model from this brand and I've had a problem within 3 years.
        On the first helmet, just at the end of my warranty, I could no longer recharge the battery.
        On the second, I can't turn my headphones on every other time.
        Shame otherwise, good sound, good microphone and practical wireless.

        The best helmet I've ever owned.

        A very good quality headset, I've been using it for 4 years and it works perfectly, incredible, thank you LDLC.

        good helmet, but watch out for the padding

        hello,
        i'm on my second set of pads. you don't want to sweat too much because they'll come off quickly.
        preferred fabric pads

        Great helmet

        The helmet is light and doesn't hurt your head or anything. I find it very comfortable. The steelseries software associated with the headset is great. The background noise reduction of the microphone is great, and the sound quality of the headphones is very good. I've been using them every day for nearly three years now and I've never had any problems.

        4 years of use

        The battery is still top notch, the foam (ears) is still ok, only the headband is a bit messy... but really nothing to complain about, more than correct quality for the price!

        Very good quality and comfortable headphones with an excellent autonomy but I remove 2 stars

        I'm very pleased with the quality of the headphones and the quality of the microphone, which is not as good as I expected despite the discord certification (it's still very good).

        To be recommended

        Excellent sound, although a little weak in wired mode, hence the 8/10 rating.
        Good quality microphone.
        Lightweight, and ergonomic, I am not disappointed as this was the main reason for my purchase.

        Nice, battery that holds as agreed, range of 12 meters nice with no variation of sounds.
        Nice comfort with a "ski mask" headset, that you are positive!

        Excellent value for money

        TLDR: I was very pleasantly surprised by this headset, the quality-price ratio is really good. Only the sound quality and the microphone really left something to be desired, which makes me think of sending it back to get the model above.

        + top comfort, very light
        + No mandatory software that works every other time and is useless 90% of the time.
        + The wireless works really well, no loss, no white noise and good range
        + The autonomy is not disabling at all, the charge during use is done without transition (a very slight high-pitched noise is audible in the earpiece of the connection during the charge if no sound plays)
        + easy to use and ergonomic (buttons, knobs etc.)
        + top sound isolation...
        - ... but maybe a bit too much ? My voice resonates a lot in the front of my skull. This may bother some people.
        I also felt a slight difference in isolation in one of the earpieces, probably due to the empty space dedicated to accommodate the retractable microphone. As a result, you can hear yourself talking a little more on the left than on the right, which is a bit disturbing too.
        - the quality of the microphone is decent, but the compression is clearly perceptible according to my interlocutors.
        - The sound quality is excellent and precise in the highs, but I find that the headset runs out of steam very quickly in the bass. The "sputtering" is regularly noticed in the middle of songs, games or discussions, which is a shame in contrast to the rest of the frequencies which are very clean.
        These last two points are probably accentuated by the fact that I've gone down a bit in range compared to my previous device, which has certainly accustomed my friends and I to better.
        The latter two points are probably accentuated by the fact that I've downgraded slightly from my previous device, which certainly accustomed my friends and me to better. However, these black points are quickly erased when I think of the price of the device, which exhibits very good performance and minor flaws, excusable for this price defying any competition.

        Great helmet, but the lights don't exist

        I'm very comfortable with the fabric headband which allows me to keep the helmet on for several hours because the plastic headband doesn't touch my head directly.
        I live in the south but the helmet is not hot, it breathes and allows you to geek out even in the middle of summer! :P
        The microphone is great and the sound quality is good. Nothing to complain about.

        The only downside is that the buttons and knobs are not easy to find blind. The only problem is that the buttons and knobs are not easy to find blindly. Even after 2 months of daily use, I still find it hard to find a way to turn off the mic for example.

        I've been using the headphones for a while now and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use them for the first time. This has since been corrected. To be clear, this does not exist on the arctis 7 (it is an option on the arctis pro). It's a shame.

        Very good helmet

        Very comfortable headset! I put it on for several hours of gaming sessions and I hardly feel it despite its weight.
        The sound is very good and loud enough when you turn it up to the max. I can almost use it as a speaker. The quality of the microphone is great.
        Excellent autonomy, I only recharge it once every 2-3 days.

        I've been using it for a while now and it's a good choice for me, but I'm not sure how to use it.

        Very good material

        This headset is really perfect for gaming, the only small drawback is the sensitivity of the microphone to external noise but this is not a big concern because the software allows you to easily manage the feedback and other options that allow you to optimize it. The suround is of good quality. In conclusion, a very good value for money and a LDLC service always at the top!

        Great functions, but beware of the sound...

        I bought this headset to replace a Razer Kraken V2 7.1 Chroma.

        At first, this headset blew me away with its features. The wireless range is quite long, the headset is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, everything is fine.
        The microphone is slightly below my expectations, the voice remains clear but still quite blurred. It is still a very acceptable microphone.

        The sound... Is bland and lacks clarity. No bass, no dynamism. I feel like I'm playing or listening to my content through a telephone line and the few options available within the software don't help. Even using a third-party equalizer does nothing: the sound is still as bland and metallic as ever.

        This major flaw makes me consider the return, which is frustrating considering the obvious qualities of this headset. It's a shame!

        Not at all up to expectations

        The headset itself is pretty good, but the Steelseries system is 0, impossible to know where the battery is in terms of %, impossible to press the reset button on the headset when it's bellowing because the hole for the factory reset is too small for a toothpick to fit in, when the headset is plugged in it shuts down by itself every 10 mins in a totally random way, I'm going to get my money back and go to the competition

        For me the headset would have deserved 10/10 if :
        -I would have liked to have a small percentage to connect the battery rather than a battery with bars.

        The product is top notch, the sound is great, the fit is excellent, and I have a larger than average head which means that some helmets, even those that can be adjusted, do not fit well or are poorly. But no worries with this one!

        A great helmet? Yes, but...

        The helmet is great but there are a few negative points
        - people with big heads forget about this headset it's not for you. After 3 days of use it's my wife who takes advantage of it to play it on ps4
        - the noise in the background when you charge it while using it that disturbs very quickly
        - The bug that tells you that the headset is not charged when it is... (manufacturer bug not corrected to date)

        Quality level
        - the sounds
        - the compatibility
        - the wireless which works at the top

        The quality / price ratio is there

        This product corresponds to its description, it does the job well, the quality is good without being transcendent, in music, at high volume, a slight saturation is heard, it is necessary to make adjustments with the software to obtain a perfect sound

        Very good product

        Very pleasant to wear and sober. It has some interesting features such as being able to adjust the sound independently in game and in communication directly on the headset. It's a little bit of a downside for the outfit, you can't expect to dance with it, and it's impossible to connect via bluetooth from your phone.

        Very good wireless headset!

        It's not easy to find a wireless headset.
        This one does the job perfectly and I'm very happy with it.
        It remains to be seen if the battery lasts.
        The sound is not ultra high quality wired headphones but for occasional use, it is quite suitable!

        very good quality helmet

        the helmet itself is very good, high quality, the foams are comfortable and the strap is a good plus
        . The packaging is very clean, there are quite a few cables so be careful not to lose them. The range is excellent, covers my entire 25 m² studio and no latency felt on games requiring a clear sound (Rainbow six Siege, CS: GO)

        I find that the information on the battery could be more advanced especially on the software which is good but can still be improved (ergonomics).

        I wanted to keep the same comfort as the steelseries siberia etc
        I'm not disappointed, the weight of the headset is not as recent as with the Siberia etc.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the headphones for the first time, but if you turn down the volume on the headphones, it's a good idea to use the headphones for the first time.

        Excellent Headphones

        I didn't know which headphones to get and I asked LDLC for advice and I don't regret it.
        It is a very good headset that is very well designed.
        Very nice aesthetically
        It's very comfortable to have it on your head (comfortable headband and cushions too)
        The sound for a gamer headset is really good and it doesn't have to compete with HiFI headsets.
        I have the retractable mic principle and the conversation is very good.
        Very good wireless headset.

        Good headset but settings on ps4

        I've been using it for a while now and it's a great headset, nothing to say about it, just a little bit of a drop in the quality of the microphone on the console, but it's still great sounding. I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to have it on my computer.

        Excellent and very comfortable

        Excellent headphones, very good sound and decent microphone. Fits very well on the head and very comfortable. The utility is intuitive and easy to use. The fact that it is wireless is by far a great advantage. Despite this there is no lag. All in all a very good headset...

        Audio and microphone very good! Be careful with the battery! 1 month of use

        I found the audio and microphone to be of better quality than my Sennheiser Game Zero (170€ approx) and my old Asus rog orion pro (80€ approx).

        The new feature for me is the wireless, it convinces me from a mobility point of view, it's great but the problem is the battery, I explain myself...

        I'm not sure I like the usb charging from the computer which is the only alternative by default, we all know that it's not optimal for charging.

        Then the software with the battery icon never fills up even after 2 hours of recharging.
        As for the indicator light that should turn green when the headset is at 50% or more battery, it always flashes red.

        In short, this headset, which could have been really good in my eyes, is wallowing in the minimum that we can expect from a specific wireless headset...

        Do not hesitate!

        I wanted a new headset without losing mic and sound quality.
        I was on a G35 but I couldn't find anything satisfactory in the tests on intrnet about the microphones of the different headsets and I was a bit reluctant to buy a wireless one to play with despite the advantage of not having any cables.

        In the end I bought the Arctis 7 on special offer for 130€ and I don't regret it.
        I've been using the Arctis 7 for a while now and I'm very happy with it.

        To buy with my eyes closed

        Exceptional!!!

        Exceptional quality headphones, wireless does not affect gaming performance. It fits very well with the games/discord balance.
        The battery is just crazy, already 15 hours of operation and never recharged yet.
        It is very comfortable and does not oppress the ears at all during long use.
        The wireless works on a very acceptable distance (+/- 15m if not too many walls between obviously)
        I recommend it without delay!
