I like how they fit over my big head. I like how you don't have to worry about charging them and can just swap out batteries and that the transmitter is also the charger. I like how the mic is retractable. For someone who only voice chats rarely, this is least intrusive. As far as I can tell, the sound quality is great. The only issue I've had is that once the transmitter is connected to your PC, you can't just turn off your headphones to go back to PC speakers. However, setting hotkeys to switch sound devices via audioswit.ch/er honestly makes thing even easier. Cheapest I've found here and so far totally worth.

So far, the wireless performance has been excellent. As a "refurb" the price for these seems fair. If I paid full retail I would have returned my set. For a teen or a woman these may be comfortable but if you are a large man with a big head like I am, I would pass on these. As a side note, on the controller unit their is an On/Off setting for Dolby. My controller just has O/O illuminated. This may be reason they were returned in first place. I just selected the "O" on the left to turn on Dolby and am done with it. "Refurb" means send it back out again until someone decides to keep it. The concept, the subdued style and the control unit with a spare battery are major moves forward in wireless headsets. If they were more comfortable I would be extremely pleased. I will continue to use them to see if I can get used to them. Otherwise it is back to my very comfortable corded Sennhiessers.Read full review

I have experienced these headphones falling off as well, but it only happens when looking down. The weight will simply cause them to slid off if you point your head toward the ground. However, how often does this happen? Not much. That said, I still give the SteelSeries 5 stars. The sound is great and i love that I never have to take them off to charge. Hot swapping the batteries is the way gaming headsets shoud be IMO. The retractable mic is a nice bonus too. I might mention that I have used the mic without pulling it out and have had no complaints from people that I play with. I will be getting a new set because I broke mine (negligence on my part). If you are looking for quality gaming cans, these are the best that I've ever used.

These sound amazing in games, especially with the virtual surround sound turned on. The range is pretty bad, the mic is alright, but there is nearly no latency so I can forgive the low range. If you aren't using these mainly for playing video games, they are not the headphones for you. Music sounds just ok, but in-game they sound wonderful and really add to the immersion.

Don't listen to 88portwin. His review makes absolutely no sense. It doesn't fall off your head. I can see it falling off your head if you go to the gym and your running full speed on the treadmill while trying to whip your head left and right as fast as you can. I love these headphones. They sound great ! They sound better than my Astro A50. I love them so much that I'm buying another pair in case they terrible and fall of head.
