Didn't see many audio oriented reviews here, so here goes mine. If you're running this headset like it was out of the box, you're missing out on the really nice sound signature you can get from these. Go into your iCUE software and tune them now!
Let me start by saying that in terms of comfort, these are superb. The earcup design is perfect, it fits the ear exactly how it should, it has a very loose fit and they don't clamp at all. These are up there with the most comfortable headphones i've used. They don't get hot over long periods of time. Nothing to criticize here. They are a bit bulky (not heavy, but bulky). They must be, they have a battery in them, but the weight is very well balanced. Construction is superb, these will last for years to come.
In terms of sound, these have a VERY forward midrange and high bass, which is ideal for voices, they are not spacious by any means, they are closed backs with a very intimate signature. For music, I had to go with quite a drastic eq. Dropping the 250hz and below range (yes, lower the bass on these. It's very muffled and overdone), and upping the treble is ideal, doing this will eliminate the "boxy" sound you get out of the box (no pun intended) which again, is ideal for voice calls.
The sound quality when these are already equalized is very good. They are no monitors, but the 50mm drivers behave very, very well. The treble is excelent, it's smooth and not grainy. It's not fatiguing. High bass is very emphasized. Again, these are closed headphones with a very narrow soundstage, everything happens very close to your ears, but the experience is quite impressive for a wireless set. The kind of bass these produce reminds me a lot of Beyerdynamic DT770s (very famous monitor headphones), covering the whole high bass spectrum at any volume level. It's not as precise as the DTs, but the response is very similar. The DTs are more spacious too and overall a better headphone. It is a much more expensive set after all.
I'm posting my eq curve so people can enjoy these a bit more in music. This is what sounds good to me, it might not be what sounds good for you, but do tune them and mess around with the settings. My first thoughts when I got these were "well yeah, there's is the usual "tin can" sound signature. Guess I'll have to deal with it", but I was legitimately surprised how well these responded to eq. I prefer the treble on these over the Hyperx Cloud II's, to put it into perspective. The cloud II is a very well regarded headset which, in case you didn't know already, is basically an entry level audiophile headphone with some hyperx branding and a mic. These are that good, they sound very nice.
The microphone is what you would expect out of a any headset, nothing to talk about. Sounds clear, and you'll be heard. Great purchase overall. Ditch the RGB lightning and you'll get a lot more battery time. 5 stars from me. Go do some EQ now!
