What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Cons
After about 1 years use the plastic head cup breaks away from the headband. It came broken out of the box and stinking of sweat. After looking online you either are tone-death to that range or it is just there.

Overall a bit pricey at full price but get a good deal and they're solid.
All in all these are a decent set of headphones and i got them at a decent price.
Shipping
Amazon refunded me pretty quickly so worth a try if you want a top quality wireless headset as the sound and mic quality are really good.
Competitiveness
I have used astra a50 and a10 previously and these are comparable to the a50s, i would actually use these over the a50s.
Compared to my beloved razer tresher, the surround sound, mic, and fit are noticeable better.

It fits comfy on my head for long periods of time with very little ear ache or pressure from the headband the elastic headband though within the first two weeks or so stretched out and never really stretched back so my the headband sits on the elastic headband which rests on my head i know i can get a replacement band but steelseries like money more money than the bands worth

Same goes for the earcups after daily use for almost 8 months the earcups were kinda gunky so i washed them in the washing machine in a netbag the inner lining of the cups fell apart and the sponge slipped out but they were easily fixable so they were cleaned and washed and fitted and still worked again easily replaceable but steelseries likes to sell them for more than theyre worth
