Multi-device audio & comfort king, but buggy software.

Wabbit_99Had the arctis 3 Bluetooth. Could wear that all day
erryonestolemynameDunno what headsets you've been using but I'm on my 3rd SteelSeries headset since I've been buying them since 2015. First pair I bought which is the Siberia v2s (iirc) are still working beautifully and I use them with my PS5 when I travel for work. My second pair is an arctis wireless pair, forget the model, but they only got replaced because I was given my current ones as a Christmas present. Zero issues ever.
gnarlymar1eyMy Arctis works great for me. Long battery life and has been working great for a couple years now. I forgot what model I have but it is wire less and was way under 200 USD.
PinkAylaI have a wireless SteelSeries Arctis headset that’s really sturdy. I’ve used it for 5-6 years now and it’s still in mint condition.
SeanTNL2Audeze Maxwell 👀it’s a little bit pricier but usually has good Black Friday deals. I went from steelseries arctis wireless to Audeze maxwell Just don’t get them off amazon they seem to never discount them
Hungry_Freaks_DaddyI have an arctis wireless and an arctis 9 wireless and they have worked perfectly for years and neither have broken in any way
