  Is this as good as their wired ones?

  This headset made me jump ship from Logitech! Started with a G930, and moved into a G933 over time.

  Battery life was shit with the new version, and it ended up being more bulky and slightly heavy to wear. The range from the dongle also felt like it got shorter.

  The flights are superior to those problems above, but lack the gaming software Logitech provides to show battery life and light controls. But meh, don't need RGB tbh. Sound quality and surround are great, but not an audiophile.

  Other than that, the removable mic is a neat feature!

    Won’t be wireless for Xbox I’m pretty sure. Don’t think the dongle will work. (MS are picky about that stuff)

  The Arctis 7 is regularly around this price on Amazon and its versatility in terms of audio and connectivity shits on this.

  The basic Cloud models are good when on sale, but the Cloud Flight is bloated garbage in comparison.

    For PS4 I think the cloud flight is suited better. Thoughts?
    I'm considering getting these for PS4 , looked online and apparently the "best PS4 headset" were these , I think it was tomsguide.

      You can't use the mic.

          @js-bargain28: My apologies, I was about to edit the post.

          They're equally compatible in wireless mode, but like I said initially, the audio quality is better on the Arctis 7. It's also a lighter and more fashionable headset, so you can just plug it into your phone and wear it out (mic detached).

          I wouldn't recommend another gaming headset in this price range, at all.

            @jasswolf: The Arctis 7 has 7.1 surround sound as the cloud flight don't. The Arctis 7 surround sound only works when used on PC and doesn't work on PS4. The cloud flight don't have surround but based on youtube reviews the sound quality (without surround) is better than Arctis 7.

            Since the cloud flights are actually on offer at JBHIFI now I might grab them , not sure about the Arctis 7 price coming down to around $160 anytime sokn , I'm going to go for the cloud flights for now.

              @js-bargain28: They were at $150 for Black Friday, and they were $170 last week, both being eligible for cashback.

              You could also have picked up 15% off JB Hifi gift cards 2 days ago and you'd get them for $182.75 from them today.

              I wouldn't pay $120 for the Flight, let alone this price.

                  @js-bargain28: The same as most gaming headsets: they're tuned for voice comms.
