AlxRainbow Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 First of all I just want to say how amazingly displeased I am with this headset. Where do I even start there has been so many problems ever since I decided to purchase this headset. I'll just give all the reasons/problems that have been going on ever since I have got this. Got the headset and was trying to set everything up, first of course you have to download the software required to run everything and set it up. Which led to my computer getting some malware (downloaded directly from Corsairs website) upon a restart was required where it took an hour to fix. Very stressful time for trying to set a headset up. The crackling in the headphones was surreal, I couldn't hear the game whenever an explosion happened, making it impossible to hear, not only that it doesn't feel great on the ears. So only using them for an hour I changed back to my $20 cheap headset, that had a WAY better sound system in place than a $170 headset. I couldn't connect to any discord servers/voice channels. Now I have NEVER had a problem with connecting to a server/voice channel in my entire life, then i got this headset and for some reason I couldn't connect, and when I finally did after a few discord restarts, I only got 1 bar of signal. I'm not sure how a headset does that for someone. After the day that I have had this headset I reluctantly returned it to the store and got another pair thinking it was a fluke, but oh boy was I wrong. I reinstalled the ICUE service just to make sure that it wasn't just some random glitch that was happening to my system. And for once everything was great, there was no crackling (if you turned on the surround sound in your sound settings - which I highly recommend if your headset is working like it should) But then the problems came flooding in again when the next day (today) I came looking to game, when I reached for my plugged in headset, which had been charging all night, for it not to work. In EITHER MODE, I cannot connect it to the USB or, the Bluetooth mode, nothing is working, I have tried to pair it, that hasn't worked yet, I am still waiting for the device to pair, which is why I am here now because this has been giving me such a bad headache for no reason. I was so excited for this headset as it has such great reviews but I cannot seem to fall in love because when I do something bad happens within the next 5 hours. But all in all it is such a great headset if you can get it working, the surround sound feature in the sound settings was wowing, I never heard anything like it, it was like being in a movie. I fell in love when I discovered this feature, but now I'm not sure if I can even trust this headset anymore.
