What customers say about "Headset"

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Lag-Free Wireless Gaming Headset with DTS Headphone

I wear the headset for several hours at a time and find it to be very comfortable on the head and ears.
The Arctis 7 audio is excellent during web conferences as is the mic. When hearing recordings of trainings I've produced, my voice is full and clear with no fuzz or background noise.
Arctis 7 works great for Nintendo Switch. I've used the headset wired with switch on airplane, and all good. I
The build quality of the Arctis 7 is AMAZING. They fit very snug and are comfortable.
Dedicated sound chip. These install with their own sound board. If you have an after market high end sound card these will bypass its sound chip.
A real pain to set up, not plug n' play

Corsair VOID Wireless RGB Gaming Headset, White

The surround-sound is VERY good, sounds kind be identified in all directions and I think even elevation (above/below you) The sound reproduction is slightly hollow, but overall pretty good.
I'm no audiophile, but I think the sound from this headset is really good.
Dolby 7.1 is great for fps titles and really makes you feel like you're in the game
The sound is good, with built in 7.1, playing games and watching movies is a blast.
The headset can get really uncomfortable during long gaming sessions (You won't even notice this if you don't play games for 4+ hours)

What customers say about "Microphone"

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Lag-Free Wireless Gaming Headset with DTS Headphone

The microphone is way better than the 800's (Important to me as I use these headphones to make calls for work from my PC)
Retracting mic that goes back into headset (protects the mic)
I really like the retractable microphone which stays out of the way when not in use.
Mic is the clearest I've had but, like others have said, at times has to be a bit close to your mouth to where I move it when I eat. I don't mind but some might.

Corsair VOID Wireless RGB Gaming Headset, White

Mic is very clear, but at first it falls right under your nose so people can hear you breathing if you use Team Speak or Discord.
The Mic performs wonderfully, my friends are constantly saying I sound like I am a podcast host due to how well the mic captures audio.
Mic quality is better than my razer krakens.
The mic is finicky, it's not that flexible and people have told me that my voice is very quiet over video calls.
Cheap plastic. The mic broke at the joint and now just dangles freely.

What customers say about "Features"

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Lag-Free Wireless Gaming Headset with DTS Headphone

The Arctis 7 has wireless capability. It also appears to have separate volume channels for both game and chat audio
The in-headset voice-game mixer works well - it's crazy how well it can boost voices (I tested in youtube and heard the narrations increase and the background music decrease)
I'm always a few feet from the usb transmitter and have never had any issue with lag or sound delay
Wireless is NOT compatible for Xbox One, so if you plan on using this for your Xbox only like myself, don't pay an extra $80 for a wireless feature that won't be put to use.
Sometimes, the processing that increases voice volumes using the chat mixer makes the voice very mid heavy - sounds processed
Software on PC could be a little better - allow for task bar icon to check battery life.

Corsair VOID Wireless RGB Gaming Headset, White

Great battery life (I keep the leds off and I'm able to get about 25 hours on a charge)
The battery life is good/OK however you can use these when plugged in, so no harm no foul.
Awesome RGB lighting with a lot of controls to change lighting patterns and colors.
Surround sound is awesome. I've been playing a lot of Overwatch, and this is crucial to knowing where enemies are coming from.
Black sides are a shiny plastic that attracts fingerprints. Not sure why they did this especially when the controls are there.
Not much bass. Not a great headset to listen to music with. Really high sounds can come off as "tinny"
