Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] Barely functions and loses connections all the time across multiple devices tested. Plug it behind your PC? Is there a desk in the way? Connection problems. Trying to use it on your phone? Randomly disconnects from your phone even if it's just in your pocket on bluetooth mode. The connectivity is so bad, that whenever it disconnects from my PC for example, I have to physically go behind my PC so there's a "clear" signal from the airbuds to the receiver dongle.

Expensive for what it is but since the only option on the market, you cany choose.

I've had them for a little over a month now and the left earbud stopped working. Besides that these are good. I've done a reset and checked the connection.

Very expensive for what it is. Its pretty good but not at this price point.

The quality of these headphones are great, but it’s unnecessarily complicated to connect. After several forum reads, video tutorials, etc. I wasn’t able to connect them. I bought a new another one to see if it was a product defect, but same problem unfortunately. I was attempting to connect to PC

Great headphones for gaming especially since it’s wireless

Best gaming headset I have ever purchased I have been using for about one month with zero issues.

Shipping was delayed and the n UPS sat on it for two days :-(

These earbuds have freed me from the wires!!! Great product for gaming, phone calls or listening to music!

Great Product! Use these everyday when I’m gaming.

Not the best headphones. Just ok. Not sure about value for this price.

Disappointed by the performance and usability. Operation controls are not intuitive. I like and use SteelSeries Arctis over the ear headphones, and was hoping the GameBuds would be just as good, but unfortunately I will not be using these for gaming as I had intended.

First these r completely garbage u couldnt hear single footstep in any game bc volume is so low but if u use sonar u cannot use any of the presets bc it will cause a werid loud poping noise and wild audio distrition as these headphones cannot handle louder volume then how then come out of box bought then yesterday messed with all kinds of setting to make then louder for about 4 hours then just completely gave up bc u can get louder but without having massive audio issues then return them the following day just buy inzone buds then come out the box ready to go no screwing with setting put to 100 they loud as most overear r

O-M-G I’m literally inside the game. Never has ever felt so real, hello sword art online literally

Excellent pair of air buds. Easy to setup and connect. Needed a pair for ps5 and the Sony version didn’t have the best reviews. This are more bang for the buck!

Don't be fooled by the hype: these are terribly annoying and disrespectful of your rights over your own body. You can't disable the auto-power off, and that is NOT OK FOR EARBUDS. It's not ok at all to ignore user settings and considering the Nova 7's have the same problem, and have for <3 years... Don't count on Steelseries fixing it. Steelseries is using the same annoying power settings for these earbuds that they do for the headsets: they shut off after 10 minutes of silence by default, and they reset to that default every time you turn them on. You must launch the Steelseries GG app, and open the settings EVERY TIME YOU TURN THEM ON. I'm seriously considering calling them defective. They will turn off while you are dictating. Also, you cannot disable or even remap the button controls. Holding them down for 2 seconds turns them off, and yes, it does wake you up in the process. Forget about sleeping with them -- which they _should_ work great for.... but the buttons ruin that. The lack of control over the controls, intentional ignorance of user power settings, and history of ignoring user feedback make these a HARD PASS, unless Steelseries starts spending more on developers, and less on shills. Sony Inzone Buds are better. JBL Quantum TWS (from 2022) are WAY better. Heck, even my TOZO NC9's -- which are budget and bluetooth, are more convenient in game mode.

Product worked great for the first month. Then earbuds started to fall apart and malfunction. For $180 new it was not worth the price. Was looking for a long term audio device for gaming and ended up with an expensive short lived experience.

Only giving it 3 stars because of the battery life

Earbuds are supposed to be xbox certified and should be easily connected like headphones, they were not recognized by the console and I was unable to make a connection.

Honestly a waste of money. The software has infinite glitches, non stop disconnections, and when it finally works the audio is terrible. literally 0 stars if possible.
