The thing that keeps me from doing so is this model is a few years old already and does not have USB-C or Bluetooth connectivity, which I realize is not common for gaming headsets, but is something I would prefer so I can use these on my PS5 or PC and also easily take calls on my mobile without taking it off.
I tried a similar kind of headset last week and ended up returning it due to how frequent I need to be able to take calls from my mobile also.
The Pro's check that box but are so expensive and also do not have USB-C that I think for now, I'm going to just hold off on looking further on the Arctis headsets until the update their line or lower the prices on the newer models.
For anyone tempted to try, Best Buy in store told me they do not price match to the manufacture's own price and would not match this model to $100. Maybe you'll have better luck at your local Best Buy if you prefer to have easier returns if you end up not liking them.
If you're just looking for a very solid gaming headset that works with PC or PS5, then these consistently rank very well for their specifically intended purpose.
An alternative to consider is the newly released Corsair HS80 which has USB-C and a flip down mic that auto mutes when flipped up vs the push in/pull out mic design of the Arctis headsets. Reviews put both headsets pretty close but slightly favoring the Corsair's overall and with the mic specifically.
I have read reviews and tried and returned a bunch of headsets like this style.
Maybe I'm expecting to much but I'm trying to find the perfect headset for all day use and comfort that has a crystal clear mic, USB-C and can be used for gaming, work/PC (Teams, Zoom) and phone calls via Bluetooth.
Gaming headsets seem to always be weaker in some key areas if you intend to use them for work purposes at home though and the business class UC style headsets likely make more sense if you do not care about gaming also, like I do.
I currently have the Poly/Plantronics Voyager UC 8200 headset and have to say, it is excellent in nearly ever way I specifically care about except for wireless via USB adapter on my PS5, it gets way to much interference for some reason at the same distance that is a non-issue when being used on my PC. I can easily connect the 3.5mm cable though to my PS5's DualSense controller to overcome that.
Thanks, sorry I was referring to the wireless dongle receiver that plugs into the computer, not the charging port. I'm looking for a wireless headset that uses a usb-c wireless dongle receiver. Everything still uses usb-a
Yea just wish I could find a wireless headset that uses type-c receiver not type-a receiver

Minor setback, but for $10, you can buy a magnetic charger cable and attack the micro USB to the charging port of the headphone and just snap in the charging cable via their magnetic end
Picked up some Drop/Senn PC38x and have been a big fan. You can't go wrong with the price. They aren't top tier SQ but they are miles better than the Steels.

Because every single review compared them higher priced wired option. Also Steelseries website blasts you with marketing about them being some of the best SQ headphone. How could you not expect that?
That's why I'm calling out don't listen to reviews on the SQ.
the code for new signer seems not working
