SteelSeries The Sims 4 On-Ear Gaming Headset

These headphones are gorgeous. The light is brighter than I'd expected, and for some reason I thought the microphone would be a long stick with a pad at the end like the old ones. This one is just a tiny hole on the side that's out of the way. The quick mic mute button is a small button on the side of the headphones that looks good and is a huge plus.The audio quality is crisp and clear. I have very poor hearing from an accident early on in my life, so this is a massive plus. I had to go into my settings and change it to DVD quality instead of CD quality which it was on by default for some reason - which produced a sort of staticy clarity that I didn't like. I tested the mic with ECHO and a friend, and they say it sounds VERY clear and better than my previous headphones.I'm a little concerned about the fact it connects with USB rather than the usual headphone jack and I wonder if there's an adapter available to do that. I have a lot of speakers and such that I would need to plug these into that don't have a USB option - only headphone jack. That's why I've not tried these headphones with anything such as my iphone, htc one, etc. It connects by USB. It would have been awesome to be able to go out with these on.The colors are very bright as I'd mentioned before. I thought I should also mention that they do change in color according to the Sims 4 or even other games as advertised, but you need to download the software from the Steelseries site. You can also set your own color or for it to change through various ones, but light ones seem to have a dull sort of addition of whitegreen to them. I was unable to get a pure light yellow with the hue setter. It looks more ...whiteish blue or green. However, if you stick to the upper right corner of the hue setter - it does produce a pure, good yellow and other colors. It just seems to have difficulty with lighter and darker versions of some of them. As a side note, it can produce a pretty nice light blue.As for comfort, I frequently have issues with headphones cutting off the blood circulation to my ears which is an extra concern because of my poor hearing. I'm unable to tell you how they do when I fall asleep on them or anything like that (which you probably shouldn't/don't personally do), but theyre very comfortable on my head. The pillow / plush area on the underside of the top of the headphones feels good, too. They can fit my gigantic alien head, so they'll certainly fit yours pretty nicely. As far as durability, I couldn't tell you. They have that plastic-ish feel of USB cords and ...other headphones. I don't know how to describe that. They are very flexible, though and the sides extend/adjust with clicks that make you feel like they'll definitely withstand being adjusted frequently. If they break, I'll let you know, but I feel pretty confident in them withstanding a lot of torture and use.All in all, I'm extremely happy with these headphones. I'm glad I didn't wait!

This headset is great for its price. The color changing plumbobs on the sides are fascinating,even though you cannot see it. Looks great and very easy to install.However, for me personally, the headset starts to hurt after a duration of use. Despite of other reviewsstating that they are comfortable, I don't find it comfortable.I have not tested the microphone, nor I have any intention of using it in the future.Update: Gave this product an extra star, they are comfortable but for people without glasses. I fixedthis by slightly angling my glasses in a way that the headphone ear isn't directly on the glasses.I don't know if it's all glasses types, but my glasses are very thick ( 9 years of wearing glasses )

These on-ear headphones are exactly what I was expecting. I love the clean design of the white with (optional) colored plumbobs. In order to customize the color, you do need to download Engine 3 from the Steel Series website, but once you have that you can make them all the pretty colors in the world. AND in-game, they match your Sim's mood color.These also have very good sound quality. I'm no sound expert, and I don't have a lot of experience with fancy-shmancy headphones, but in-game and listening to music/videos on my computer, I can hear everything very well. I don't really use the microphone for much, so I can't say how well that works, but it has a nice low-profile design and an easy mute button.My last comment on these headphones is how COMFY these are. I have an older pair of Steel Series USB headphones, and they are much heavier. After I take them off, my ears throb a bit, and I have a fairly small head. I'm not going to lie, after 4 or 5 hours straight of wearing these Sims 4 Headphones, my ears hurt a bit. But these are so light, and the ear padding is so comfortable that majority of the time, they are barely noticeable on my ears.

The sound is awesome. . They are comfortable but while playing the game the colors for their moods do not work right. ..I thought I just got a bad pair so switched them for new ones and the new ones are doing the same thing. :( so not sure if I got two bad ones or if something is off with my computer. . But disappointed by that.

I honestly love the design of this headset.Not only is the design amazing the headset itself is comfortable,really great quality and so is the mic that comes with it.There unfortunately is a huge flaw with the construction of the headset.The mic does not extend ,its directly below the ear of the headset so any audio coming out of the ears of your headset will be in your audio playback,If you like to have your audio setting up super high you wont even be able to hear yourself in a recording.
