So let me set the scene for you: You've got the headset brand new in your hands, you open it up, everything is meticulously packaged and labelled to the point where it's impossible to get confused where everything goes, you plug in the GameDAC first, which then gives you a jolly greeting and introduction to all the features including the famed Hi-Res Audio which sounds GORGEOUS, although at the moment the feature is criminally underutilized by games and other software (this will change in near future). The headset itself is also very comfortable and feels durable. No wireless is a bummer but understandable with the tech involved and the price is quite steep. Those are the only negatives to be found. SteelSeries did not mess around with this thing, but also found a way to maintain a very casual vibe that is infectious. I never write reviews about products I buy like this, but this one was so good, I felt I needed to do it justice.
