"I got the arctis Nova and stealth gen 3 700 and both hurt my head bigtime."
"for 350 euros I feel super uncomfortable weaering it ... it's more uncomfortable than my jbl 610 ... the fact that you should put another 40 euros to get WC cushions to get the comfort is not acceptable for the price tag. ... Overall it's an amazing headset which I can't wear it ... they could have do better for cushions with this price tag."
"Getting up between game sessions to go downstairs, the headphones would do loud, awful "pops" and "cracks" in your ear, probably well into harmful decibel levels."
