So far seems just a tiny bit pricey for what you get, still very very solid

Don't get me wrong, this is a very solid headset and I'm pleased with my purchase. But I have a HyperX Cloud for my PS4 that cost me about 20 dollars less just 2 and a half years ago and the sound quality on that is about the same if not a little better.Being able to use this headset on my PC and PS4 interchangeably is huge for me though, especially since my gaming laptop's 3.5mm headphone jack doesn't support microphones, so having the USB sound card I can use instead is the only reason I'm able to play games online with friends and not have to use Discord on my phone with my cheap, busted bluetooth ear buds I bought at Walgreens for 30 bucks.I've only tinkered with the USB Sound Card options in the app you can use but it seems really good, just limited by the actual quality of the headset. Surround sound accuracy sounds excellent though, and overall audio quality is still a hair above "good" I'd say.The microphone however sounds really nice for what it is. I sound really clear with very little, if any, sound being picked up in the background. Also build quality of the headset is simple but very solid, and it's incredibly light and comfortable. Hours of use with absolutely no discomfort. 10/10 there.Overall I don't regret the purchase at all, but just know you are getting what you pay for and if you're looking for top of the line audio hidden in a headset 50-100 dollars cheaper than its competitors, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for a versatile and relatively cheap headset option for PC and consoles, this is an easy get.
