I've had them for a few weeks. Positives: Sound Stage is honestly.... pretty good. My daily driver is a Audeze Maxwell, and I also use a set of Meze 99 Noir's, and a set of Beyerdynamic 700 Pro X's frequently, not top of the line sets, but better than a lot of stuff out there. This isn't quite on that level, but in comparison to a recently tested Steelseries Nova 7's which I got, it's much better overall, with far better soundstage. The EQ is simple enough to work with, and you can make some tweaks to suit your particular sound preferences, and the software the headphones works with isn't particularly complicated. Double Dongle design - something I've been wanting for basically ever, and the major reason I picked these up. The instantaneous switch from my PC to my PS5 is fantastic, and something I absolutely love. I sincerely hope they continue to improve on this and bring this tech to their pro headset. Comfort - Pretty comfortable, not light, but not too heavy, overall not bad and no need to replace the earpads, the stock ones are great. Negatives: Finicky connections at times. I haven't run into any connection issues persay, but sometimes the headset can get a bit... confused I guess is the right word on what/where it's connected too. There are times where the headset just hasn't connected to my PC, and it's the only thing on, and it requires turning the headphones off, and on. Other times the headphones are clearly on, the headset is connected and green, but it requires me to switch the audio output to my from my headphones, to another source, and then back to my headphones. Weird bugs like this. Random double beeping when the power is not low... but it thinks it is. Getting a low battery beep at 48% power... that's... not low, that's literally 40 hours+ of life left. This needs to be fixed in the software. Overall, given the $199 price point, $149 for me on Black Friday, I think they're pretty fantastic. I will probably hold onto them as I don't see any reason to part with them, and greatly enjoy the functionality. I haven't really had anything in the way of issues in terms of connection/interruptions to my system, and overall, very pleased with them. 8.5/10

Why are all these videos just passing over the fact the mic quality has taken a MASSIVE step back since the Gen 2 Max 🙄 the mic sounds bad bad.

Just picked these up for $150 on sale, I. Instantly fell in love withh the sound, i thought the soundstage sounded huge, i guess thats due to the dual drivers, i didnt even realize it was dual drivers.
