They are the exact same two I came down to in my alternatives. I went the Arctis first because of the battery system, the reported better range for both BT and Wireless and IMO a more understated look. The GSP670's apparently sound better (no surprise) but beyond the stuff I just mentioned, the...

Thanks Jonnymc1, that's encouraging and what I wanted to learn as I personally and historically would not have associated the brand Steel Series with great audio quality. I also agree with you on the Penrose, I would probably come back and try again once they release their next revision where...

I have added a photo of one of my cups with a circle on the tear just for completeness.

The black gauze is in perfect condition, until I started experiencing the 'crinkling sound' upon movement I had only ever taken one ear pad off once so definitely no puncturing. I think its a design flaw on the choice of material and suspect more will start to find this issue over time...I was...

I know its probably not right, but I take comfort in knowing that its not just my pair that have had this issue :) I have requested a refund from my retailer and have ordered a pair of Steel Series Arctic pro wireless that were on sale here in Aus, they have simultaneous BT and Wireless...

So Just by way of an update, I took the ear pads off the headset and had a closer look at the silver material and found that in both cups the silver material had tears in it which I am quite certain is the reason for the sounds I am hearing. The audio itself doesn't appear impacted but the...

So I have a new and serious issue with this headset in that whenever I move my head I hear a sound in the ear cups like someone 'crinkling' a heavy aluminum foil roasting tray. It started in the right ear and now as of 1 hour ago both ears make the same sound every time I move my head. It is...

Interestingly, I have never got this issue. So long as the USB driver installs correctly both MIC and speaker engage automatically. Perhaps you have other mics that are set to default instead or forcing control?

I have been following this thread since inception also I have been following @Audeze and it seems since the 8th Jan they have gone dead silent, going from being very engaged to nothing....I hope this means they have been 'heads down' fixing the remaining issues for this headset and not that we...

On this point, you can either remove the foam cover to ensure the domed side of the mic is facing up to your mouth or once you know that one side of the mic is domed and the other flat you can just simply feel for the dome side through the foam (which is what I do) to ensure the domed side is...

i also prefer the DTS option for CoD, thanks for the heads up on the sale, I was intending to purchase and have done now its on sale :)

I haven't tried pairing the headset with my phone directly as I use my mobile using the windows 'my phone' app which works really well these days for taking and making calls etc.

I have played music for hours off my PC with my laptop via BT for conf calls, videos etc with no issues here.

I am using these via the USB dongle on Win10 for CoD with no issues. Out of the box, the spacialisation seems fine, definitely enabled me to determine where other players were positioned but I would say no better than the Beyer Dynamic DT770Pro's I was using before. What has made a big...
