First off the fit is vary good, and they are really light feeling when I compared them to a set of headphones I got a year go. But I guess they also feel a little smaller then them my ears touch the cups. I have been wearing them now for hours.. but I feel like the old pair I had where far more comfortable just because they had ear cups that where 4 and half inches tall, while ROCCAT Elo 7.1 use 4 inch tall cups.
I like the fact the top head band does not need any adjustment needed to make it it fit. It just pulls everything into place so it fits and holds in place. Though I wish it would loosen up a little, and the main metal headband part just had softer spring to it. If you have a bigger head then me.. you might find this set of headphones uncomfortable.. but I think my medium sized head feels fine in this.. but people with small head will find this most comfortable.
The controls being behind the left ear cup is perfect. The controls on my previous set where on the wire which was ok.. but this is far smoother to reach to and change as needed. This is the best place to put these now that I gotten a chance to use this.
Sound seems to be good, (but not perfect... I would rather have more deep bass and these just seems be on the more high pitched treble sound side more then I like.) I hoped into a video game called Rust and tried to sneak around with sound to see if the surround sound was good. The sound was good enough for that, and for discord the sound was perfect. Noise cancellation on other programs really depended on the program...but for my purposes I found it worked well most of the time.
I tried downloading the drivers from the maker for this... I heard no chance in the behavior of the headphones so it might just be malware or malicious tracking software. Since I heard no change, I would not recommend it installing and will be looking at finding some other program to deal with sound levels, but even without it, the sound from the headphones is vary livable.
While really not a important feature.. it also would be nice if I could of somehow locked the color the RGB leds to Red... they cycle through colors and wreck the fact everything else I got is red lit.
The Microphone is kind of disappointed on these headphones. The way the headphones are designed, when you put them down on table, the mic always get pushed and away and you need to put it back into place.. I would of much rather it be a boom arm that you can push out of the way when you want eat or drink.. I guess I could just pull it out of its socket or bend it out of the way, but the boom arm of most gamer sets is way nicer since I used to that.
One crazy feature of the mic is the second dial lets you pipe in sounds from around you more clearly. So for a while, I was vary confused why I could hear myself talking and the sound of my typing as I wrote... weird, could be helpful if you want to hear things around you while you play games.. but I don't like how it just echoes my talking back at me, so Rather just not have it on...
I would buy these again.. Of course, I got a great price, they are much better built, and work well enough. I am clumsy off and will drop my headphone on the floor again... so rather then buy another set when that happens I much rather have a nice set that can just keep working. The only problem is the cheaper set I had before this kind of spoiled me with the good features they had even if otherwise they where cheap crap. It just be nicer if if the sound was not diminished, or the mic was on better armature so I liked using it. I suspect if you have a really expensive set of headphone before and then switch to this you should be pleasantly surprised, but if you got really good sound out of your cheap headset, then you might feel a bit like I do.. Just make sure you get them on sale is all I am saying.
Edit 1.1 So the day after purchase I found that the software I installed had started up a Hud program that lets me control the lighting of the head set, so I can now set the headset lighting to red and match it too my other computer related devices.. a big nice.. and also let me tune the levels of the sound though a equalizer, letting me have that vary deep base sound I thought I was missing from the headphones.. these changes that the ROCCOT Swarm program lets me apply to the head phone are really huge quality of life improvements over the headphone and I can see I feel like this is a great head set now.. and now I have no good reason to compare them to a set of 35 dollar headphones. The only thing that I don't like is the microphone is not on a armameture but considering all the other great things this headset does.. I'm not so bothered anymore and will just try to get a headphone hook to hang them on.
If you are reading this.. I hope this helps you with you if you are thinking of purchasing headphones from Roccat... and will try to answer any questions to do with the ROCCAT Elo 7.1 USB Wired Headset.

Update March 2023
PC use, over two years
Sound Quality- Im no audiophile, but the Elo 7.1 Air are more than adequate for music, movies, and gaming, along with anything else that pumps sound through the drivers. There could always be more bass, but for over-ear headphones, they are much better than others Ive encountered. Id also like to say that the heavy foam earpads offer great passive noise cancelation.
Build quality and Comfort- Ive always been impressed by how heavy duty these have felt. Although almost two years into use the plastic above the ear cups did crack open but a simple and partial fix was to wrap it a few times in electrical tape, and this was a good enough fix for the few more months I do plan to continue to use them. The side I had to fix on doesn't exactly lay flush to my head anymore so I have to deal with a little breeze on my right ear. The pleather earpads have lasted far longer than I have expected them to. The headset is quite heavy and will fall off your head if you decide to break a move, but other than that, they sit up there pretty comfortably.
Mic- Cant compare the quality of the mic to something wired, its just not close. Ive always opted to use my offbrand boom mic for activities like gaming and discord, BUT, it works when I need it to: like when I need to leave my desk, Ill just pop the jack mic in and use it for when im away from my office.
Battery- The battery life is great, its an advertised 24 hours and Im sure it meets that. It can go days of moderate use without a charge, and when it is time to charge, no worries because you can just plug it into your computer with the super long usbc cable thats provided
Connectivity and Software- I used to have lots of issues connecting to my pc until I relocated the receiver to the front of my pc. The range isnt great either but its good enough for what I use it for (might sound splotchy when you walk to the kitchen). Roccat swarm software has been worst downfall of this headset. There seems to be updates for the software anywhere between a few times a month and a few times a week. When theres a pending update I have to stop what Im doing and update or else I just wont have any audio. The update doest take long its just tedious because youve gotta plug and unplug both the receiver and the headset from the PC.
Knowing what other headphones are out there, Im not sure if id recommend these or not. But I can say that I am more than happy with the quality that is still present over two years later. I use these a few hours a day, every single day. I initially rated these 4 stars because of the flaws I found, but Ive decided to bump that up to 5 stars because they just work, and they have worked constantly. Despite the inconvenience of the software not being the most reliable, and the minor repair I had to do, I love these headphones
