It was very easy to work with customer service to get the problem figured out. Highly recommend, they had suggestions to get the product working and when that didn’t work we proceeded with the warranty.

Excellent Service!

I had contacted Tech Support because my Steel Series headset had stopped working in one ear less than a year after purchase.

The Tech Support agent I spoke to from SteelSeries was amazing and asked me to break the headset so he could send me a new one.. Eventually I received a new headset with no complications.. The Agent spoke to me all through the process and was quick to respond to any questions, comments or concerns I had.

It was a truly exceptional customer service experience where I felt like I was treated with respect and understanding.

I purchased a brand new Arctic nova pro. Price 379 euro, one of the battery's didn't charge as intended so contact customer care haha yes they are among the most useless people on the earth, after emails and emails still got no resolve told to contact the vendor which didnt solve any problem, 2 year warranty worthless... Save your time and money I'll never buy a single item from this scam of a company.... That reply is an insult to my intelligence.

Prompt personal service

What a truly great experience. I had a problem with my headphones. I was given my own service technician who was with me through the entire process from exploring software and firmware issues to receiving a new pair through the warranty program.
Throughout the instructions were well documented and easy to follow with a very quick response time.
Steel series are excellent products with excellent customer support
Highly recommended

refund processed effeciently for broken product.

After several months of use, the left speaker's membrane became detached and started making loud snapping noises whenever I moved the earcup around.

Email support people said to return it to the merchant where I bought it. I did that, and they turned around the refund in about a week - much faster than I expected.
