The only downsides are that there is only 1 illumination zone on each cup (so you can only display one colour at a time on a given cup), and there's no option to control or turn off the RGB on the microphone, which is bright red by default. When plugged into the computer over USB, the RGB is going through a rainbow wave by default, but this can easily be adjusted using the accompanying software if desired. The AUX adapter is nice to have, but note that if you're into the RGB features you need to use the USB connection as the RGB doesn't work over AUX. A product information guide + installation disc.The product arrived nicely on time in good packaging. Still, I think it's not an unreasonable price for a good quality headset, and this model has a lot of positive reviews so that's how I ended up ordering it.

I ordered the Arctis 5 from Amazon for about 100€, half of which came from a gift voucher so that made the cost a lot easier to bear. Virtually anything would be an upgrade coming from this situation so my review may be a bit optimistic. Whenever I needed the full headset functionality, I put my headphones on for playback and put the headset around my neck so the mic would still be within range. Just for clarification: my previous headset was way too tight around my head so I couldn't keep it on my head for longer than 15 minutes.
