I have been using these headphones for almost a month for gaming and music, they are very high-quality headphones that you can tell as soon as you open the package and hold them in your hands. However, when you put them on your head, you don't feel like they are headphones worth this money. I had the Razer Kraken 7.1 v2 and compared to them, it's like day and night. The Razer ones are much, much more comfortable. But is it possible to put cheap earpads on headphones in this price range?

Luckily, the comfort issue was solved by buying these specific earpads that you see in the photos for about 10 euros. They help a lot, they are much, much more comfortable and fit better on the ears, so you don't feel discomfort on the top of your head after a long time of wearing them.

As for the sound, I wouldn't say I was blown away from the beginning. I really noticed a difference when I activated the Dolby Atmos for Headphones, which I would say is a must. Buy it and play around with the settings, and you will remember me.

For me, it was an excellent purchase. You can't call me a hardcore gamer, so writing about whether they helped me understand the steps in PUBG accurately doesn't make sense. I was looking for headphones for casual gaming, but especially for music and calls for work. The most important thing for me was for them to be wireless (I'm tired of cables), to have good sound overall, and to be able to use them wired because with previous wireless ones, the main problem was wanting to listen to music or play late at night and forgetting to charge them.

From what I've used them, I like the sound, both stereo and 7.1. The iCue has various customization options. The microphone, as my colleagues at work told me, is very good. However, for me, the most important thing is that you can use them wired with USB and 3.5 mm. That means USB transfers sound, it's not just for charging like in most wireless headphones. Only the Audeze Mobius I saw offer so many connection options, but okay, those also cost 400 euros. Also, I want to emphasize that the SE headphones I got really give the impression of a premium product. It's not about being a fanboy, it's that when you pay 200 euros for headphones, you can tell from the packaging that you paid for something at least well-made. Metal casing, not cheap plastic. The microphone also has a metal end with a very useful mute button and LED indicator. All the cables are braided, not plastic, and all their ends are covered with metal, as shown in the photo. It also comes with a storage bag made of soft fabric.

I mean, okay, everyone can say whatever they want subjectively about the sound, but objectively I can say that the build quality and connection options are excellent. My opinion can be summarized as follows: Are you a hardcore gamer and want full accuracy in sound for competitive games? Look further, maybe something else suits you better. Do you play casual games and want to use the headset for other things as well (like music, calls)? If you have 200 euros to spare, get them without hesitation.

After a lot of searching, I chose this specific headset mainly for its build quality and I was torn between buying this one and the arctis 7. In the end, despite being skeptical about some reviews for this headset (microphone, bass) and due to the unavailability of the steelseries, I ended up with this one. After the first few days of use, I can say that I am satisfied with the choice. The build quality is really as expected when you see the photos. Very sturdy and well-made, not so lightweight but with quality materials (aluminum and plastic). The sound made a difference for me, especially coming from the Sony Gold Wireless PS4 like me. Both the bass and the treble are incredible, at least for my ears as a casual gamer and not a professional. The battery is satisfactory, I think without timing exactly, it definitely has a 10-hour gaming per charge. The microphone is much better compared to my old headset and I only hear positive feedback from friends on Discord. Another positive for me is the connection to icue because I already run the program for all the RGB on my computer. An easy and user-friendly program. As for the negatives, I could say that it might get tiring for continuous hours of gaming and that the 7.1 setting is not available on a button but only through icue. Overall, they are worth their money because they are a premium headset in terms of sound and build quality. These are my first impressions. I will update for further information.
