There are some drawbacks, though. For example, there's no carrying case or pouch for either the headset or the transmitter. The menus are in English only and there's no software support on PC or Mac via SteelSeries Engine 3. But that's about it.

The unidirectional microphone works well and I had no complaints form my online friends when using our VOIP program of choice (Razer Comms).

It fits snugly and stays firm in place on your head, but that's thankfully not due to a severe, uncomfortable shape. In fact, the circular, donut-like cups fit well around the ears, and the cans tilt and rotate a fair bit to fit nearly any kind of dome.

[The USB controller is] sleek and minimalist with just a volume knob/menu wheel and back button adorning the front and, hidden away when off, to the left is the OLED screen. This is exceptionally good quality with crisp, clear readouts that are perfectly visible from any angle.
