I’m still using this headset this day. I bought the Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro Wireless recently and returned them after 1 week of use, now I’m using this headset again. My Nova Pro Wireless had some serious issues, ANC mediocre, transparency mode resulted in a barely noticeable difference, even after EQing w/ stock pads the bass was lackluster. I used Wicked Cushions Freeze Pads and EQ’d with those and it just made the bass even weaker. The crackling sound in the headset when using the volume knob on the DAC. The headset clamp force wasn’t tight enough, I tested the headband in all 3 configurations and only got enough bass and immersion when pressing the headset lightly to my head to make a seal. Lastly, the sidetone was nerfed by a firmware update and never fixed by Steel Series. They said they patched it in a GG Engine firmware update and it didn’t fix anything. It just wasn’t going to do it for me after spending $350 on this headset. I thought about buying another one to see if mine was faulty bc I couldn’t understand why anyone was satisfied with theirs but I’m going to wait until they put out another flagship product.
had this headset for a yr now and its an amazing headset the best one ive had so far and i had alot of turtle beaches and this one is bye far the best sounding one
Hi, I got the headset on Thursday and since using it I have a crackling feeling every 5/10 seconds in my left ear when people talk whether it's in video games or vocal with friends! The right side the sound is perfect and very pleasant! I don't know if you have any idea why or what changes to make to make it good! If ever someone has the same feeling as me tell me in the comments Thank you to you and have a good evening!
Just some Information for some people who had some problems with the Distance of Bluetooth or Battery Limit/ Suddenly the Headset turns off midgame, I had this problem until i turned off the Aimo Lightening since then i never had a problem anymore.
The gain is a bit lower than it should be out of the factory. Use the Roccat Swarm software, and do a decent boost/gain to the mic sensitivity. Try about 85-90%.
Thanks for choosing ROCCAT. Unfortunately the wireless chip is not capable of sending anything higher than a rate of 16 bit, so there is a physical limit in this case. When the headset first launched our developers weren't aware that the headset would be shown in Windows with higher bitrates, therefore the option to change the bitrate has been disabled only a while after launch. However, any changes made by users before only had a visual effect, the bitrate has really always been at 16. This was Roccats response to me. Hope it helps. Now I have another issue where my battery % is incorrect so I never really know when to charge it.
Rus. Как заряжать от ноутбука, понятно. А, сколько вольт (Volt) должно написано на вилке зарядки-Output: 5.0 v / 2.0 A или 3.6-6.5 v / 3A??? Заранее благодарен!
Is there anyway to either use the roccat swarm software for the stealth 600 or do you think they will offer a replacement for the ear pieces that are more breathable. They seem perfect short of that.
Unfortunately no the Swarm software will not work on the 600. I can get the Elo ear cups to work on the Stealth 600, but the Stealth 600 ear cups do not fit the Elo headsets because the earcup is slightly bigger. The PLU isn't a deal break on the Elo. Keep in mind they sound as great as they do partly because of this material. They are still very comfortable but you may have to air out your ears once in a while.
Which headset should I buy for my Series X??ROCCAT Elo 7.1 Air Wireless or Xbox Wireless Headset? They’re both $99. Xbox has Bluetooth connectivity and the other one is via USB. The ROCCAT has better bass accuracy according to RTINGS.
The Elo Air doesn't work on Xbox so between the two you have to use the Xbox Wireless headset. I'd also take a look at the LS15X and Stealth 600 Gen 2 which are both $100. The Elo Air uses the same drivers as the Stealth 600 G2.
I have these headsets but I never downloaded the SWARM because I read too many reviews saying their issues started when they downloaded the Program. Had any of these issues happened to you?
I have Swarm, Astro Command Center, two Turtle Beach apps, Nahimic, Razer Synapse, and iCue all running right now because of how many headsets I test and don't have issues. What kind of issues are you talking about?
@@GadgetryTech reviews I see people say is that when they install the program the headset just constantly always disconnects, mic turns off, got to constantly reset the headset, thats why reviews say good headphones but bad programming. I dont know if they got a defective headphone but it held me off from downloading Swarm that's why I asked for your opinion on how it is.
Ah got it. I used it for quite a bit without issues but there are so many variables when that happens. I have the USB and wireless versions and they've both been pretty reliable for me. Other options are the Steel Series Arctis line or HyperX if you want other good considerations at or under $100.
I bought these last week. Headset works fine. I wish it had Bluetooth. The USB piece seems to shut off whenever I tried loading software. Whenever I think it is fully charged, it doesn't seem to be. I put 5:39 them in the drawer for now. I am using a set of Black Shark headphones that connect via Bluetooth reliably. I only play one game on my PC and that is the DCS flight sim.
I actually covered the Elo USB and Elo X Stereo prior to this one! Elo USB: th-cam.com/video/BxLTABOX7jQ/w-d-xo.html Elo X Stereo: th-cam.com/video/pK-TUGcqWNo/w-d-xo.html
@@JasperEder I have the Vulcan 122, and will be getting the new Pro that just came out with optical switches. I'm also covering the new Burst mouse and the Leadr. Stay tuned!
I would consider the 7.1 USB version over Air for E-Sport. I haven't heard the black sharks before but I know the hyper x can sound pretty good as well.
Waiting for mine to arrive, watched quite a few reviews. A lot of them had popping sounds with the mic. You didn't.. lets see how it turns out for me. But I guess some cheap popfilter will work wonders if not? (Not that much exp. with headsets or mics even won this one and didn't buy it xP)
2 years later, I hate the software. 1. it never shows the real battery %. 2. I have to start it at least 2 times, because they refuse to apply my settings with the first start. 3. Sometimes I have sound errors, not often but it's still there. I had no issues with the mic, expect some connections issues like with the sound, nothing major. That's said, I will never buy a roccat product.
I've had it for a year+ they are confy , leds look nice.. 7.1 is nice The swarm software has nice stuff in it.. But the software itself is total crap. Every update it did.. i had to spend 30 min turning headset back on/off.. switch usb ports and so on to get it working and had to do that each time!! jeez And after 2 months battery inside the left ear just came loose, its put on with a double sided tape! :( talk about quality Now 1 year later could not use mic anymore.. the jack prob got worn out(and i did not use it that much).. and gave all kinda static/robotic when talking... so had to send it back
Same Happen to me with the USB one , after one years , the left ear came loose and the fake leather on the earing things is tearing appart. soooo it's not a good headset ^^
worst headset i ever used (came w a defect mic cant blame it) its 2 years old leather on earpads goes off, never connect right always says they have firmware update, battery doesnt last long, they creak when i use em .. .. . .
I have no clue if my unit is fucked or if Swarm just is the worst piece of shit software that has ever disgraced my hard drive but holy shit, I'm about to throw that piece of shit headset against a wall. I charged it for an hour. I unplugged the cable. Swarm showed me it was at 100%. Alright, I thought. Then it went to 75%. I was confused. Then to 50%. Then to 25% and then to 0% IN A SPAN OF TEN SECONDS. But it was still working. Dongle was flashing red though. I knew I should've bought some Razer or Logitech headset at least their software is able to show battery percentages accurately... I knew something was up when the Swarm installer looked like something from the windows xp days.
These things sound horrible!!!. Most non immersive headset I ever tested.. I guess I am used to Logitech G935s. I felt like my ears were being stabbed with sharp pieces of glass. I guess these would be good if you are used to shitty 10 dollar headphones. Then these would be an upgrade for you.

My headset wouldn't even charge when I got it. just blinking red when plugged in. any ideas or just faulty?
Just got mine and it's PERFECT !
Great to hear! They are a great value.
had this headset for a yr now and its an amazing headset the best one ive had so far and i had alot of turtle beaches and this one is bye far the best sounding one
agreed I just picked up the white version for $80 and very nice wireless headset.

I had this problem until i turned off the Aimo Lightening since then i never had a problem anymore.
how did you turn the lights off?
@@brandonwood8780 just go in the Roccat Swarm Softare and switch all your devices light settings on something else which is not the Aimo lightening :)
just got this headset but my friends say my mic sounds super quiet, how do i fix this?
The gain is a bit lower than it should be out of the factory. Use the Roccat Swarm software, and do a decent boost/gain to the mic sensitivity. Try about 85-90%.
but has it good quality
is there a way to make the microphone quality better, it sounds like youre talking through a phone

I was wondering my headset is only showing 16 bits I was wondering how you got yours higher?
I have the same Issue.
Im the 70th like on this amazing instructional video! Just got them today and now I fully love them and understand them after watching this video!
Thanks great to hear Soup, thank you!

This headset is pressing my heat to mud. It feels so bad compare to the Roccat Khan Aimo I'm frustrated.
I only have 16 bit how can I can turn it to 24 bit?
my dongle is lighting white but my headset isnt even on, how to fix this

How are they for ps5 gaming?
whats the best settings for equalizer?

do they support fast charge? and how long charging time?
I would say around 1-3 Hours. It just depends on what you charge it with, I connected my headset charging cable directly to the PC.
love this headset but sound cuts in and out, roccat cannot help an magic voice does not work correct either
Are you going to do a vid on the two other Roccat Products ?

Would this headset be better the getting the black shark v2 or the hyper x cloud 2 for esports
