"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"Being able to walk around without interruptions is such a quality of life. ... Getting coffee mid meeting or getting a snack when gaming and keeping the convo going. ... Wireless headsets is def the way to go unless you are a content creator imo"
"going wireless was such an upgrade for me, personally. ... I have a rather small apartment so my connection never drops and I can keep them on literally all the time."
"Been using for several years and no issues or drops in audio quality."

"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. I played Valorant on PS5, xDefiant and Warzone. ... This was more noticeable on Valorant as it is a more sound dependent game. You won't miss anything with these. I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical."
"For gaming, these are perfect. ... As a valorant immortal, tier 2 and premier player, I can confidently say that the imaging and soundstage are spot-on. ... Footsteps, directional cues, and in-game sounds are incredibly precise and natural, giving a competitive edge without any unnecessary bass/treble bloat."
"directional audio is amazing can hear all the opponents"

"the bluetooth option is honestly not good got a lot of issues - not typing, typing in delay , keys spam - pressing a key and suddenly it keeps spamming it , not recommended ... I only have Bluetooth issue"
"the 700s wouldn’t stay connected and kept having issues ... Amazon shipped me multiple pairs until I got it right"
"constantly disconnects from the DAC, and reconnects ... The headset would randomly restart, disconnect from the base and cause a loud distrotion sound to come across until I BOTH powered down the headset AND disconnected the USB cable from the back of the hub. ... Pair that with the headset just randomly disconnecting at times (typically when critical to HAVE it) and you have a recipe for disaster."

"Build feels pretty cheap especially the headset controls and microphone ... It’s one of the cheapest feeling headsets I’ve ever had. ... Overall build quality is poor."
"the only issue is that mouse will double click for sure after a year."
"I had 1 of these that failed within a year, so did the replacement."

"auto-shutting off while playing audio ... If I don't run steelseries GG, it'll default to the setting that is shuts down after 30 minutes. ... The only way to circumvent that bullshit then, is to actively use the microphone, that registers as "being used". Not the fucking fact that there's audio playing through the headphone :( ... I sometimes manage to get the auto-shutdown to 'never' via a profile in steelseries GG, but it usually only works a limited time :("
"Uninstall their software. Just get your os to recognize the audio input and output and get rid of their trash. ... Worked for me as their software was awful and causing issues like you described."
"the bar bugged in the store ... a total disappointment"

"I found the Q990D fatiguing listening to multichannel and atmos"
"if you are listening to a playlist which has some atmos and some non-atmos songs, when an atmos song comes on, volume will drop by about 50 percent. ... Changing volumes all the time does drive me nuts."
"The KZ Castor Bass consistently gives me a headache every time I try to listen to it"
EastAd3697 1.0I just bought Artics 7+ a week ago. I wanted the Nova 7, but I just liked the Artics 7+ more it was on a special as well. Let me tell you, I'm super satisfied. Every time I boot up my PC, I just can't wait to slip my baby on and just start jamming and coding. The sound is crystal clear. The battery lasts so long that I wish they could go dead so that I can charge it green the green light (for me, that means go). They fit like a glove, and I hardly made any adjustments to the ski bands. The cashier who gave them to me was like, "Damn man, you'll enjoy this shit.". Felt like a plug providing a new product. I downloaded COD ww2 and just blasted them while it felt like I'm watching a movie. I'm too afraid to smoke a joint and listen to music with them. I might vanish into the SteelSeries realm...
I got lucky then. Cause I got them at Evetech, my dedicated supplier in SA. I'm not sure if they are global
FootKey7339 1.0Got my first Steelseries headphones around 2016, served me well until last year. It still works perfectly only the leather started to scrapping and the cat chewed the microphone (still works tho!). Bought a new Arctis 7+ wireless and I love it. Battery life and wireless range is almost unbelievable, sounds great, comfy. This is one of their cheapest headphones so I guess the expensive ones are even better. The only thing I don't like is the GG software but it's not a big deal.
JScofff 1.0I got an issue with my Arctis 7+, low sound even on max volume. Headset was bought in Poland. I wrote to them, and after about 2 weeks and destroyed headset (per their request) i got a voucher to get Nova 7 from their official website. So try it, it may work.
littlelolitaa 1.0I have glasses and not a big head but this headset hurts after 2-3 hours.. But the headband is reallly comfortable!
Living-Gullible 1.0I find headphone shopping just a case of what you're happy with. I have a pair of arctis 7+ wireless and they're great. Sound is clear, battery life is incredible and the chat mixer actually works. There's a lot of snobbishness over headsets, but 99% of people won't be able to tell the difference lol
mlarchev 1.0I've been really liking my Steelseries 7+. Had Astros before that and wasn't a big fan of the price to quality ratio.
nicolasman 1.0i'm also considering switching from a arctis 7+, it's pretty worn out and i hate the sonar software with a fucking passion. My biggest issue would be the lack of a game/chat slider
Oblipma 1.0I love me steel series but the software is a pain in the ass, i got the arctis7+ Mic is horrible, even worse granted i wanna stream, mic is sooo meh
Selmad_Games 1.0The Nova 7 is good for medium and small ears, the Artic 7+ medium and large ears. I have both, I use the Nova 7 which has better battery life but otherwise both are the same
Splatulated 1.0i been using a steelseries arctis 7+ for a few years now, only need to recharge it once every 3 days (im at my pc with them on for nearly 12 hours every day) . its been great
