I have had the headphones for one day and so far, with a few exceptions, I am satisfied. I have a relatively larger head and with all the headphones I've had so far, I've had a problem with the design cracking. Here the construction doesn't look as flimsy in person as it does in the picture. So hopefully it'll last more than a year. For 2 500 CZK very decent quality and quite OK sound. I've had much more expensive headphones, but these seem to be better. The huge downside, however, is the app. You can't find out the battery status other than in the app and the presets in Sonar are completely useless, I had to make my own default preset that I used for all situations.
Price/performance ratio
OK sound in relation to the price of the product (I have had worse and more expensive headphones)
Microphone quality sufficient for occasional in-game communication
The build quality seems OK (we'll see in time)
Textile earpieces are better than leatherette
Solid claimed endurance, I haven't tested the real endurance yet.
Battery status in the app only
Hundreds of presets completely useless (Some, especially game presets, are impossible to keep up with)
Sonar is completely useless, you make one preset that you use for all situations anyway
Quite a large dongle, which on certain boards can obscure USB or other ports (fortunately not my problem)
I'm worried about the durability of the retractable microphone - a deployable one would probably be better

I liked the headphones very much, they were comfortable and one didn't have the feeling of being muffled. They didn't last very long, unfortunately. It's possible I just had bad luck on a piece, but you don't want to risk it anymore.
lightweight
switching from pc to mobile (bluethooth and radio frequency)
comfortable over the ears
retractable microphone
good sound and microphone
stopped working, starting with an annoying crackling in the high and low sounds, then at every sound
I am already afraid to buy them a second time, alza refunded my money without any problems
somehow uncomfortable connection via adapter

Bought as a replacement for the very unsuccessful Corsair HS80 Max, the sound is decent but worse than the Corsair. The microphone is excellent, the controls are absolutely fine, the retractable microphone is handy. For the price, completely adequate headphones that simply work and meet what is expected of them. I'd like to see advances in SW in the future, where more could be squeezed out of the headphones sonically.
The sound is "only" good even after finding the right point in the program, a little lacking in "depth"
LED battery status indication
Microphone after adjusting through the program at a high level, better than the wired HyperX Cloud II
Retractable microphone - hopefully they know what they're doing and can stand it
Comfortable, interchangeable earpieces and bridge
Battery life
No problem with the software so far, everything works as it should
It doesn't glow, decent design
Highly visible LED indication of microphone off
Great dongle, in my case I found a wiring that does not interfere
The sound just lacks a little something, but you can get used to it pretty quickly
Spatial sound is useless in every headphones, so the minus is only for the effect
It feels more phoric, more fragile. but it's more of an impression, which time will tell

For me, the worst PC headphones I' ve ever had. Then I was most satisfied with the Logitech G533, which broke after about 7 years due to my own fault. I really want to break these headphones. The software for GG is a total parody and can make a person really angry. The audio is really excellent when I compare it with the competition for similar money. I regret this purchase and I hope that one day we will see when Logitech will start selling relevant PC headphones again or that Sennheiser will enter this area with an advisory offer, and not with the idea that we will try something and see. I want to believe that SteelSeries makes quality products, but then it seems to me that they are only the most expensive ones. If that' s the case, then just do it. Arctis Nova 5, are a total pity tragedy compared to headphones from 2017, which were even cheaper. If you' re good at it, plug in your headphones and occasionally chat with someone, and don' t worry about the quality, or whether something plays like that once or twice. so be it, it can work. If you expect the product to behave the same or improve with better SW, here it is the exact opposite.
Fits well on the ears
Fast switching between 2.4 and BT
Good microphone, at least according to feedback on discord from other people
The battery life is surprisingly really long
Tragic audio quality, the very old Logitech G533 had much better audio vibrancy than the SS AN5
Maximum volume very poor
The app that is needed for these headphones is horrible, by far the worst app for any PC accessory I' ve ever experienced. moreover, after each update, the device and the application behave completely differently (min. under WIN10 )
Turning on the surround sound is just an artificial inflation of the already poor sound performance without any relevance
Even ear buds have better audio dynamics

Sound
Software, especially the Sonar mixer
Bluetooth
Pretty decent microphone
Light, fits well, comfortable on the ears
For the money, great.
The construction is plastic and I wonder how it will last - no metal reinforcements.

For the price-performance ratio, sound good
I have no idea who was behind the design of the BT dongle, but I believe they had some pretty good stuff on it. A dongle that when plugged into the usb-c port takes up space side by side across both other ports? If I plug into the PC from the back, I don't connect the monitor unless I move the usb series lower. If I plug the dongle into the case, it takes up the USB and jack. Absolutely incomprehensible. Same with PS, one port on USB-C and I take the other.

I'm quite an audiophile and those mids are just awful for both music and games, even when trying other SW than the original. It's a shame, the design on the other hand is beautiful and pleasant to wear.
