Great price on a quality wireless headset. I've tried a few headsets in the $100 range and couldn't find any without issues with mic quality, feedback, etc. except for these. I've had them for a year and a half now and they work just as well today as when I bought them.

Really doesn't matter at all. USB-C is nice for a charging cable, since you can more easily plug it in while it's still on your head without fumbling with it as much, but that's such a minor issue it shouldn't even factor into which headset you buy. Comfort, sound quality, mic quality, and connectivity are significantly more important.

You aren't wrong that generally, for the same total price, you'd get better sound and mic quality from standalone headphones and a separate mic. But for a completely wireless solution with no lag, you have to have a dedicated 2.4GHz receiver, something that essentially all "gaming" headsets use, while essentially all non-gaming wireless headsets use bluetooth. Bluetooth is okay enough for listening to music or watching movies, but the added delay and often unreliable connection makes it a bad choice for gaming. If you don't believe me, just try a bluetooth keyboard - it's miserable for gaming.

I've had a Steelseries Arctis 7 wireless for years. Had to replace the pads a few times (both the cloth and the faux leather ones, now on my 3rd set of ear pads), but it's otherwise been nearly perfect. Only recently started having issues with game chat/audio chat not working correctly (need to unplug and re-plug in the transmitter, restart the headset or PC, etc) but it's also been like 4 years now.

Based on that experience and my other experience with multiple Steelseries mice, I bought this pair. Technically a downgrade from the Arctis 7, but after cash back and pickup deals, $43 for a good wireless headset from a good company is a no brainer.

It looks like there's a micro usb to usb A connector for charging. Does anyone know if that cable also allows you to use this headset as a wired headset?

According to this review https://www.rtings.com/headphones...1-wireless you can only use wired mode with a 1/8" audio cable. The micro USB port is charging only.

Bought this from the prior Walmart deal (same price). Recommend it. It's comfortable, sounds good, works with my PC, PS5, and PS4. It replaced my PS4 Gold Headset. Charged it once and still haven't needed to charge. Playing for about 2-3 hours 3 times a week. For the past 2, maaybe 3 weeks. I'd buy it again.

Only con is that it uses micro-usb to charge. I know some people care about that but for me I don't mind.

I've had these for about 2 years come November, and I'm super happy with them. Quality sound and mic, comfortable, lasts forever on a charge. I'd happily pay $99 again like I did when I first got them

Why do they write usb-c dongle? Is that a gimmick?
