This headset is so good its mental extremely good mic really comfortable ear pads 310 presets if u download the mobile app the audio is also really good 60 hours of battery life AND you can get a full charge in like 1 ½ hours

Honestly the steelseries line of headsets are fantastic for the feature set offered BUT the build quality is definitely not what I’d recommend especially at this price point it’s made of plastic everywhere no metal for ridgidity or strength.The sound is the signature steelseries sound and mic is of great quality, some of the best. The mic is clear and crisp the speakers are clear but not too overpowering in the bass like a beats speaker or turtle beach for instance.These are good headphones for console but the feature set really comes alive on pc with steelseries GGComfort wise they are very light due to all the plastic used and are relatively comfortable although I would say sizing wise made for smaller heads.Functionally the Xbox variant works on all systems, connecting to Xbox playstation and pc with the flick of a switch on the dongle.

EDIT: If you’re using this headset on PC there’s a little switch on the back of the dongle, change this from XBOX to USB and you will now have the option for Discord Certified inside the Discord audio/video options, this avoids all the issues I had in the beginning.I’ve been using the AN5X for a few days now, which replaced my broken Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 and overall I prefer it over the more expensive Razer headset.I’ll get the bad out of the way first though, and that’s the microphone, it’s slightly above average for a wireless headset but it’s a noticeable downgrade over my Blackshark, it’s not even in the same league. I also had major issues with it on Discord, all of my friends commented on how awful I sounded, but when I recorded myself it sounded fine, after a lot of frustration I discovered that I needed to disable noise gate and noise suppression built into Discord, as they seem to conflict with the Sonar software, after doing this my microphone improved 100x, but as I said earlier, it’s still not amazing. I would also advise enabling compressor in Sonar and maxing it out, otherwise you’ll be extremely quiet on Discord even at 200% volume. I would like to see Steelseries and Discord work together to add the AN5X to the certified list, this would remove the frustration I initially went through.Now onto the good, the headset is very comfortable, the ear pads are extremely soft and even with my big head they fit perfectly with almost no clamping force at all. I can game all day without any ear or head pain at all.Sound quality is good and bad, out of the box they’re okay but luckily the Sonar software has the best EQ I’ve ever used, you can very precisely customize the sound and really bring out the potential of the headset. I would highly recommend that you check out the Youtube channel GadgetryTech, his EQ settings for music made a massive difference, music went from sounding decent to incredible, it was truly night and day. You can also switch between Bluetooth and wireless with a press of a button, so you can use your headset on PC or console and instantly switch to your phone for a call or to listen to music, this works much more seamlessly than on the Blackshark.The Sonar software is very competent and feature rich (on PC at least, you get far less features if you’re using the headset on Xbox), and the AN5X comes with over 30 pre-installed EQ presets for different games, with some hits, and some misses. I personally use the Diablo IV, Call of Duty and Fallout 76 ones and they’ve all been great. I would recommend leaving spatial audio off though, as with all fake surround sound it just doesn’t sound right, turning it off keeps the audio pure. I would also increase the clearcast AI noise cancellation to 75%, as my friends could hear me doing stuff in the background at the default 50%.I can’t speak to the build quality or durability as I’ve only had the headset a few days, but it does feel very cheap as it’s almost all plastic, which does make it very light (which is a positive in my book), but I cannot say if it will hold up to the test of time, my advice would be to treat it like a newborn baby.One last thing is noise isolation, this is personal preference whether it’s a positive or a negative but it doesn’t have the best noise isolation, so you can hear yourself speak and other noise around you, which I personally prefer, but if you want full isolation this isn’t the headset for you, that being said it does cancel out a decent amount of background noise, just not all of it, and noticeably less than my Blackshark. I think it’s the perfect middle ground, where you’re not hearing every little thing but you can still hear someone speaking to you or the doorbell ringing.Overall for the price it’s a great headset, you could make an argument for a high 4/5 or low 5/5. With a better microphone it would be an absolute slam dunk 5/5. I would have preferred it to retail at £150 MSRP with a better mic, but I’m very conscious of how my mic sounds so I don’t become the “bad mic” guy on Discord.

Top Headset.
Sehr leichtes gutes Headset. Viel Tragekomfort und sehr lange Akkulaufzeit.Wird an der Xbox und am PC verwendet.Schritte kann man damit auch sehr gut hören.Kann ich nur empfehlen

Entièrement paramétrable et très confortable
Casque très léger performance superbe, mais après quelques utilisation les mousses du casque jaunisse et donne un aspect de mauvais goût 👎
