These were bought for my son so he could play on his PC and Switch. He is upgrading from a very cheap pair of headphones, so the difference for him was extremely noticeable. He has had some long gaming sessions over winter break and he no longer complains about his ears hurting from the ear cushions on the old pair. They are lightweight and deliver good quality and accurate highs, mids, and lows. Very acceptable for the price range.
I had to troubleshoot some PC issues for him (Epic Anti-Cheat not working with some other programs running in the background) and wore these headphones for about 30 minutes or so. I use higher dollar noise cancelling headphones for my work and I can say that these SteelSeries headphones perform very well for sound, but not as much for noise cancelling. Better than many noise cancelling earbuds (sub $80) and such, but exactly in line with what I would expect from over-ear headphones in this price range.
In summary, great light-weight and sleek looking headphones for a kid or adult who wants to game for a decent amount of time, but doesn't need high quality noise cancelling. Highly recommended by my kid gamer and this adult gamer.

Packaging was surprising to say the least
Forgot I ordered them and surprisingly when I opened the box it was a bit mangled as if refurbished. Checked around the headset to see if there was any damage so far nothing so I won’t complain there.Feel: moving on from the other set of steels these feel a lot better. Ear and head feels well plantedSound quality (music): sounds are really pronounced and bass feels good, I would wear these outside since they don’t give off gamer headset vibesPrice: can’t complain they’re suspiciously cheap but sound really good.Mic/gaming: haven’t tried yet broke my glasses so kind of withholding from gaming at the moment.Originally wanted to do 3 stars but the quality exceeded my expectations.
