"By far the best selling point was having the ability to easily swap batteries."
"The 2 swappable batteries are god-tier - you never have to keep the headset plugged in, as one battery charges while you're using the other."
"The battery life and swappable battery in the dac has made every other normal charging headset i own feel like a chore. Ive never had to remotely care or think about if the headset has battery once in my years of owning it its so refreshing."

"I use it when I'm playing games on my phone between matches. Or listening to music etc. it's a feature I didn't need until I tried it"
"and the dual audio is great as well :) ... A second super highlight for me is dual audio with being connected to the pc and also to Bluetooth on my phone. So calls coming in are super easy and the mic is clearer than the phone each time."
"The main reason, though, that I bought these is the battery swap feature and dual inputs ... being able to flip between work laptop and home PC has been amazing too. ... You can plug two devices into the DAC and toggle between the two. It’s handy if you have a PC and console or two consoles. You can also run Bluetooth at the same time."

"I can dodo like the built in eq for games. It's kinda makes me have superpowers in CoD. I can hear footsteps across the map."
"excellent imaging for FPS games ... SteelSeries has better imaging"
"and in games like Escape from Tarkov, the Steelseries GG software is brilliant, i hear sooooo much more than i did before i got them ( sounds in that game is super important )."

"The mic is actually pretty neat and a major reason why I made this purchase. ... It is stored in the left ear can and you can easily push it in or pull it out. ... It is flexible. ... Great for when you want to just use these as headphones and don't want to have a mic sticking out. ... It also has an LED light on the mic to remind you if you have the mic muted. ... The light brightness is also adjustable. ... My coworkers have also said the quality of my mic has significantly improved."
"Not to forget it has a retractable mic, unlike others which is a attachable or swing down."
"mic can be pushed in flush"

"Grazing the button is enough for it to flicker on and off ... when fully pressing it, I'll hear several beeps as though the connection was made and severed 3 or 4 times before actuation was completed. ... Then as the issue progresses, simply shaking your head while wearing the headset is enough for it to set off the mute button ... I experienced the first signs of a problem at 18 months with light usage, and the head shake thing for the first time at 25 months."
"for me specifically the mute button on the headset has become so sensitive, that shaking my head sets it on and off."
"I use discord A LOT, so my mic not working is a big problem"

"recently ive had this problem where my audio will bug out get really loud then just start dog whistling my ass and it also gets picked up with my mic so anyone unfortunate enough to be in disc with me also suffers the same fate"
"When GG is running, not computer refuses to go to a system sleep on its own and will self wake if I put it to sleep manually. I quit GG, and the system sleeps as expected."

"I HAD to switch the earpads because the little mics were always piercing my ears after some time of use"
"it hurted my ear a lot !"
"the ANC nub in the earcup pressed against my ear and caused pain within a short time of wearing them."

"Another problem I run into is that they're just not good headphones to use with iPhone - I have constant issues with Spotify like if I'm listening to music and I open TikTok, the video stops playing audio and I have to close all apps on my phone, play some stock audio from Apple and then open TikTok again and then it works. ... (That happens with almost all apps btw I was just using TikTok as an example) - or connection problems like having a higher battery percentage to just stop connecting than on PC and just random stuff like that. ... I don't have the problem using any other headphones with my phone so I just put it in there just in there because of that"
"every now and then it starts to spaz out and the sound sounds like a 56kbps transformers bootleg movie."
"everything is muffled regardless of which eq setting you use."

"ANC was basically non-existent"
"terrible for hearing your surroundings"
"And the ANC is a joke. ... Can't even tell if it's on or off."
