"I disagree I think there build quality is solid. ... the only times they broke is when the happens to "accidently" hit a wall at speed. And when I spilled a drink on them. They can still work just fine but they don't hold a charge unless they are plugged in but that's not because of normal wear and tear these were abused yet lasted me currently over 3 years."
"Been using for several years and no issues or drops in audio quality."
"had them since they released what 4 years ago never had any problems with them"

"battery life for me is once weekly, MAYBE twice if I am heavy using."
"Considering it already gets like 20 hours it might be an hour less. Of course it's a little lower due to age... But I can't complain."
"on a full charge they easily last me a week and I'm on my pc sometimes 8+ hours a day"

"I kept getting sound blasted while playing BG3. I'm talking about high volume static noise that was only fixed by unplugging and replugging them in. They caused me physical ear pain"
"auto-shutting off while playing audio ... If I don't run steelseries GG, it'll default to the setting that is shuts down after 30 minutes. ... The only way to circumvent that bullshit then, is to actively use the microphone, that registers as "being used". Not the fucking fact that there's audio playing through the headphone :( ... I sometimes manage to get the auto-shutdown to 'never' via a profile in steelseries GG, but it usually only works a limited time :("
"I hate the steel series software with a passion"

"Yeah I agree"
"my friends don’t like the mic (which I think is due to the mic being so short/away from my mouth) ... Mic doesn’t extend far enough and sounds like shit."

"Uninstall their software. Just get your os to recognize the audio input and output and get rid of their trash. ... Worked for me as their software was awful and causing issues like you described."
"I had many times where sonar audio devices flat out wouldn’t work properly and required a restart or reinstall to fix, and I got tired of it."

"Build feels pretty cheap especially the headset controls and microphone ... It’s one of the cheapest feeling headsets I’ve ever had. ... Overall build quality is poor."
"My arctis 7P just up and stopped charging. ... Followed all their guides on the website and it didn't work."
"I just realized the part that supposed to stop the range of motion in my hinge just isn’t there or doesn’t work on one of the ears ."
