I will review as a player of competitive titles.
I have had the opportunity to try several wireless headphones in a similar price range. More specifically, I tried these: Logitech G PRO X Wireless Gaming Headset and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro - White Ed.
So I will compare these three headphones:
Quality of workmanship:
Logitech wins here, which reeks of premiumness, followed by Razer and then SteelSeries Sound: The Logitech had the fullest sound, but it was incredibly loud if the sound was not turned on (at any volume) and the sound was extremely overbassed, or "full" which is not really desirable for these games, it seemed unnatural to me, every explosion was heard as if it was exploding near you, the weapons were incredibly loud and in this sound chaos, the enemies' footsteps were practically inaudible, not to mention that determining the direction from where the sound came from was almost impossible. Razers have a similar problem. The only SteelSeries I find adequate in this regard and the sound was quite clean, clear and you could tell where it came from. For me, the clear winner is SteelSieres. Connection: They are the only one of the three that also supports bluetooth, which I applaud, and they can receive and send audio from multiple locations. In practice, this means you can play games on the console and make calls via discord on a PC or mobile loaded which is great if you have an Xbox that doesn't have discord. Some quick summary:
- The workmanship isn't bad, but it didn't surprise me.
- The sound is clear, and the bass is not overdone. For competitive gaming, these headphones are the best of the bunch.
- I haven't had a chance to fully test the battery life yet.
- Comfortable to wear without pressure or uncomfortable heaviness.
- The software is intuitive and easy to use.
- The microphone is clean and high quality compared to the Razer where it was disastrous.
- As they have a microphone built into the design and can be plugged in which is a big advantage (with the others I didn't know where to put the microphone, it was plugged in through the jack and could not be manipulated. Of these three headphones, I would personally choose SteelSeries because of the sound, which is not exaggerated thanks to which you can hear the steps and especially where it comes from. Explosions and gunfire don't deprive you of other quieter sounds which is quite important in these titles.

Solid construction
USB-C dongl for connection to PC
No RGB backlight (battery saving)
Microphone concealable in headphones
After a bit of setup in the headphone app, the sound quality
Luxury earcups, comfortable and don't make your ears sweat like a cheap imitation leather, nice to play with.
Mute microphone LED highlight
Control the ratio between game volume and conversation volume (Discord, Teamspeak) directly on the headset
Possibility to connect the headphones, for example, to the phone even if they are connected via dongl to the PC.
You have to play with the equalizer to make the headphones sound good
Sometimes they squeak
USB-C dongl too wide, when I have it connected I don't plug in another USB-A cable which is right next to it.

These are relatively high quality headphones from SteelSeries, but the sound quality of both the headphones and the microphone can be fine-tuned using the Sonar software directly from this brand. Battery life is as described approximately 38h depending on usage. When using the headphones purely over 2.4Ghz networks, the endurance matches the description, when using the combined 2.4Ghz and bluetooth the endurance is lower. They are very lightweight but also comfortable with adjustability.
Wireless
Endurance corresponds to approximately 40h (depending on use)
Nice packaging
Quality of material
Fabric earmuffs
The microphone could be of better quality (can be solved by playing around in SteelSeries Sonar software)

Super headphones in all respects just when I have them on my head and move them so I hear the design creak, it's not a big problem at all I don't mind it amazing sound headphones and comfort 100% compensate for it.

My first experience with a wireless headset. I can't say it's exactly warm. The physical design (comfort) compared to the old Hyper X is disastrous and the sound is also slightly worse. If anything, this headset seems to me more in the two-thousand price category - not three thousand. Its features and parameters (such as battery, range) are commendable, but they certainly cannot cover a product that is inherently inadequate. Unfortunately, he doesn't have many alternatives at this time. Therefore, after returning it, I'll probably have to get headphones for both gaming and occasional music listening outside of the PC, instead of headphones that could do it all at once. In conclusion, I do not recommend this compromise.
Dongle and Bluetooth connection at the same time
The headset is relatively lightweight, but it doesn't seem too sturdy
Bluetooth and mic mute buttons + volume control wheels
Wireless range (unfortunately I have nothing to compare it with)
Not much of a headlock. It's not that she immediately falls - but it's very annoying, especially in combination with the following point:
The earcups are not made of very high quality material, they rustle and don't cover the ears much at the bottom. Because of the material and design, they do not block ambient sounds at all.
The microphone wasn't the best quality, I didn't even try to tune it somehow. It always ejects up a few inches when it slides out, which just sounds silly.
The sound itself was no miracle, my only comparison is my wired Hyper X Cloud I, which sounds noticeably better. The tuning made it a little better, but there wasn't much left to salvage.
Reducing from USB-C dongle to USB-A to PC could have been solved differently than with about 1.5m long cable, but ok - it can be survived. (Detail)
Compared to the wired headset, there was less response, I guess that's to be expected with wireless headsets, but I found it annoying. (Detail)
Adjusting the cloth headband is surprisingly a bit difficult. (Detail)

Great gaming headset, microphone weaker, listening to music better with the manufacturer's software turned off, but don't expect an audiophile experience, such an average.
Great design
Long battery life
Convenient
Connect your mobile and pc at the same time
No sweating ears
Microphone weaker average - the disadvantage of wireless headphones
