I've had a pair of logitech wireless headphones and when I would go over 40-50% volume without having sound I would hear some hissing/static noise. Do these headphones have this problem? Thank you!

      a static or hissing sound is usually caused by sidetone coming from the microphone, essentially its just background noise that your mic is picking up and the speakers are then playing it to you. If you mute you mic this should no longer happen, but if it does then i think there might be something wrong!

      Please note that there is a blackout when you swap batteries. A brilliant idea would have been to include a small built-in battery in the headset for the moment you're swapping batteries to avoid sound interruption. Sound will be cut when you swap batteries.

    This is the video that convinced me to buy a few months ago. I really love it overall so far, and it's the best headset I've ever owned. However, I want to bring up some criticisms to help other people decide if they want it or not.
    I don't like how long it takes to turn on the headset, you need to hold the power button for what feels like a solid 5 seconds, which is way too long, especially when you consider the fact that you need to do it every time you switch batteries, so it probably gives you a total 15-20 second downtime and 5 of them is from just holding the power button, which feels like forever when you want to go back to whatever you were watching/playing.
    It makes a very loud squeaking sound when you press the headset against your ears, so you can't really enjoy netflix in bed while laying on your side with the headphones, or if you lean against a window/wall while in public like on a bus or something. (These are very usable in public btw, if you like wearing heavy headphones outside, that is.)
    If you use it on your phone via Bluetooth, it will turn the volume all the way down for a moment, then turn it up to whatever your volume is set on your headphones EVERY TIME you play any media, or make any sound on your phone. So when you're going through menus on your phone with the headset on, the volume slider will pop up constantly, showing it going to 0, then back to regular volume, sometimes blocking the screen so I can't select something until it's gone. It's great for continously playing content like Netflix or TH-cam though, but not for browsing Reddit or going through menus. Might not happen to every phone, (I hope) but it happens to mine, which is a Samsung S9+
    These are my biggest torments from owning this headset, however I VERY MUCH recommend these, as other headsets have many more faults in my experience.

    • @DavidLeiser88

      The time it takes to turn on the headset is by far the most annoying thing. I think this could be easy fixed with a software update..

    • @face76
      @face76 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Pere ZoZo not really. It’s hardware not software. It would be different if you hit the power button and it too 5 seconds but you have to hold the button in. So it’s hardware. It’s like holding the power button on a PS4 to go into safe mode. It’s a hardware setup. The button is made to be held in to power on. To change that you’ll have to change how the button works and that would be hardware again.

    • @face76
      @face76 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Stian V I use my all the time watching Netflix, TH-cam, or tv in bed. Laying on my side doesn’t cause any sound. The Bluetooth volume thing isn’t an issue. When I turn mine on it does the same thing. It’s more of a safety feature to me as so your ears are not blasted in the sound is turned all the way up. It’s not like you have to turn the volume back up to where it was. As for the volume slider popping up, never has happened to me. I use the s10 note and iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen. Neither have had the volume bar pop at all while going thru menus or browsing the internet.
      The power is isn’t a problem. If you are watching something it pauses automatically when the if the battery dies. If you plan on using the headset longer then a few hours maybe put the fresh battery in before you start. Then you will have at least 10 hours without having to replace the battery or power off or on. I mean 5 seconds though isn’t that big of a deal when powering on. If it is use the audio cable. Don’t need to be charged or anything. I mean it takes less than a minute to change a battery and power back off from a dead battery. Lol

Ultimately I went with the pro's because I have a living room set up and the wired pro didn't seem reasonable, although I would have preferred the sound quality. I did have one question about your review, for the DAC you mentioned to use the DC power cable or else the headset battery inside the DAC wouldn't charge. I'm using the USB cable into the PS4 and it seems the battery is charging just fine. Can you explain further?

    Great review man! Love your reviews, I just subscribed. I went with the Arctis 9 over this one, I just don’t think it’s worth the price, when you can take all the largely unneeded stuff off and spend $150 less. If these were maybe $250 USD, I think that might be worth it. It just seems like a lot of stuff I don’t need for way too much money. Plus I like having the ability to be mobile since I use a laptop, and the A9 is easier to move with just the dongle. Personally, I’d recommend the Arctis 9 for anyone reading the comments, over the Arctis Pro Wireless. Since you don’t even get that much of a better sound stage anyway. The Arctis Pro Wireless just seems way over priced and useless. Cause if you’re looking for top notch sound, you’d go with the Arctis Pro Wired for a lot less money. But I was able to figure all that out for myself by watching this review, and your A9 review.

    -Can we use this headset on any device such as a phone, laptop,... That has bluetooth ?
    -Is there a 3.5mm jack on the headset to watch a movie with someone else for exemple ?
    -Is it possible to use the wired version without going through the game dac right into your controller/phone

Wired or wireless both can be 3.5mm to anything with the jack and works very good.

    Update: The reason why I'm going the route of Audioengine D1 v.s. just getting the SS Arctis Pro + GameDAC is 92kHz freq response v.s. the 192kHz freq response in the Audioengine D1.

    Hey, after watching loads of reviews I just got the pro wireless today and i wasnt expecting a constant hiss sound, when theres sound playing its kinda fine? When music gets quiet or theres no sound for a second you can hear it, theres just a constant hiss,. my mic is turned off so i dont think its feedback. Is there anything im missing? is this normal? Also, if i turn the volume all the way down its still there and when i turn it all the way up its even louder :/

    Love your videos. I purchased the 7P after watching your review. The big down side for me on steel series is the lack of real noise cancellation. The bidirectional mic doesn’t cut it for me. The sound quality of the mic itself seems empty, as well. But it’s is still my primary headset for my PS5 as I don’t need the mic for what I do on console. I’m thinking about upgrading the virtuoso XT after watch your review of that to replace my Astro A40 that I use for streaming on PC.
