Can be a bit tight for some listeners
SteelSeries S1 is biased towards gaming and bass
the bass is prone to inconsistencies and is a bit boomy
failed to make a tight seal around the bottom of his ears
The USB adapter goes through an amp that controls chat volume
The cords are too long and unwieldy
require some creative cable management and a lot of extra space
Not every gamer will want to tinker with audio settings
The treble is slightly uneven too and also prone to inconsistencies
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
the cords are rather long and would get tangled and feel cumbersome while gaming
The store will not work correctly in the case when cookies are disabled
larger cups and a thicker
braided cord
the TV show I was playing on my TV in the background
1 surround sound proved disappointing
Many of the apps are not for headphones
sound completely fixes the small flaws the original
The volume wheel is stiff and hard to accidentally turn
muddy and indistinct
treble is not at all harsh or fatiguing
DTS support is limited to Windows machines
USB-C dongle is too sweet to pass up
it s unfortunately not that simple
Arctis Nova 7 has inferior battery life
the reverberation of the kick drum feels almost unpleasantly loud
it still doesn t do much for isolation
everything turned out to be very weak
The sound is dry
flat and dirty at times
The sound mixes and some instruments become difficult to distinguish
the microphone is definitely not suitable for professional voice recording or streaming
the incomplete fit of the cups to the ears
They are too tight
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
