Bit of a long story but got the logitech g933 s and had a nightmare with them keep dropping out every 5 mins.Sent them back got another pair they lasted 3 days then issues with software..complete nightmare .Got refund then bought the steelseries Siberia 800 . Got them for a really good price .After initial set they are working great ...wish I got this first time around

Yes...I was a bit gutted about the logitechs but slot of people were having similar issues to me.Another thing I find out after buying them there was a software update which for some reason reduced the volume levels so if you wanted it really banging I just didn't get there were as the Siberia's some people said they were not that loud I found after running them through my soundcard were a lot louder than the logitechs
