Both the buds and headset come in black. I have the ear buds and they lose connection with the link all the time. Not sure about the headset. The earbuds do come with a case to charge so you can't lose them, plus you can tell your kids not to touch your stuff. 🤷 I actually just got the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Multi-System Gaming Headset https://a.co/d/9RNhRN0 because from what I've read they are the best headset out there and I would have to agree.

Second this! I have a [Steel Series Arctic Nova Pro](https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro?connectivityType=wireless&color=black&primaryPlatform=pc) and I love it. It's very high quality, not all plasticky. If I have both ears covered, I can't hear shit around me, lol. I think the ear cups they came with are quite comfy, but I did still switch them out with a pair I found on Amazon, purely for aesthetic reasons. I have what I think are pretty standard sized ears but I have a lot of piercings; I've never experienced any discomfort with the cups. My husband has a pretty big head and is also a glasses wearer, and he has the same one - he finds it comfortable as well! The swappable batteries are my favorite feature. I wear this headset for over eight hours a day sometimes (WFH) and it remains comfy and doesn't cause me any strain!

Hi, so about half a year ago I bought the arctis nova pro: [https://steelseries.com/de-de/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro](https://steelseries.com/de-de/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro) Also I added these Ear Cushions (default are not comfy, these are super super confy for me) [https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BK5DTYT8?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BK5DTYT8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) Pros: \- has 2 battery packs, you can charge them in the station. (easy swap in 20 seconds max), you never have to put them away to charge them (if, obviously you dont charge one battery while using the other and have both empty) -- ALSO: You can buy battery packs online, for really cheap (15ish €) \- Connection holds outside of my room nearly to the end (around 20ish meters?) \- Im not a sound guy, but it sounds perfectly fine for me \- The black from the headphones + the white from the cushions look nice \- two usb input cables means you can switch around two devices in a few seconds (I have my PC and PS5 attached) \- you can have a main connection (PC) and connect it via bluetooth and for example make a call with your phone while having PC sound) \- has ANC but I dislike it/dont use it Cons: \- I heard the Software is shit but idk, I dont use it. \- kinda pricey For me they work, I heard for some they are too tight but I find them perfect after a few days of use.

A bit pricey but it’s on sale right now. https://a.co/d/b7Olfwr I’ve had mine for two years and haven’t had any issues. Comes with two interchangeable rechargeable batteries that utilize the interface to charge. No more waiting for your headset to charge.

None of them they are all trash. My wife has the 7P and it is TERRIBLE. I recommend the nova pro wireless ps version. Mic is way better, drivers and audio quality way better. Has its own receiver for 2x inputs so you can have it plugged into a pc and a ps5 at same time. It’s just a way better product.

Arctis nova pro Great build quality no weak frame points. Great sound comparable to some of the lower end audiophile stuff, and it’s got hot swap batteries, sound profiles, noise cancelling, over ear fit.

Love turtle beach for their style and how lightweight they are but unfortunately I will forever choose steelseries for their clearcast mics and noise cancellation. As a gamer who uses a mic heavily for online gaming there's a massive difference in mic quality when you are joined up to 5 other players and there's always that one guy with awful mic feedback who will tell you his got a decent gaming headset and everyone tells him to mute. I do love turtle beach as a startup set though. Started my kid on turtle beach before moving them onto steelseries a couple years later

I have seen the sound measurements for these and they are nearly identical to the NPW. A bit more bass for sure but that's about it. The problem i had with the NPW is that if you move your head the sound changed drastically. Feature wise i agree that they are probably the best on the market but apart from that if you don't need said features then just buy something cheaper.
