Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sounding and comfortable earbuds are a nice break from wearing a full headset. Have exchanged this item twice though since right earbud has stopped working and started emitting a chirping sound two times. Might be a software issue but troubleshooting didn't fix it. It's a shame, would like to use them as my go to earbuds over airpod pros

From a usability standpoint, these are by far my favorite earbuds for gaming. Love the ability to use the USB dongle on my handheld and Bluetooth to my phone. One button to switch back and forth. Plus I think good sound and great ANC. Have also used Apple Air pods and ROG earbuds... as well as some cheap brands. However, from a reliability/durability standpoint they get a big, meh. I have had to return two units so far (got my first pair in Oct 2024, this review is Nov 2025) from sound not working to the constant high pitch buzz. But while the return process is cumbersome, SteelSeries replaced them both free of change. So overall giving these 4 ****

Pros: Sound quality, battery life, and comfortable while wearing them. In my opinion better than the official PS5 earbuds (which is what I had for about a year). Con: Every other time I put it in my ear, feedback would leave me def and in pain for a few seconds.

I wear ear buds all day and wanted to switch to buds for gaming. These have great sound and are pretty comofortable but the button duntions arent the best and the mute takes 4 seconds to turn on and off. Also the tone for mute and inmite arent very easy to figure iut which is which. I do recommend them.

Was super skeptical about these but honestly they're perfect the controls weren't well explained in the package but that can be chopped down to human error. Comparing them to sony wf 1000xm5 the sound quality it comparable the anc isnt ad good but for gaming, work, gym, riding a bike. I love themv

They are great at what they do. I have the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless headset and they are pretty similar, but in earbud form. They connect with 2.4 wireless and bluetooth, but you can't listen to audio from both simultaneously, unlike the full size headsets. You can swap between 2.4 and bluetooth with a button, and I think it can automatically change to bluetooth if you get a call, which is nice. The ANC is not as good as something from Bose or Sony but it is better than nothing. It is great that you can use them as gaming buds or just regular bluetooth earbuds.

I had these pre-ordered and received them a week before they actually came out. I’ve had other Steelseries over the ear headsets and these by far are my favorite. I feel more into the games than ever before and I can hear EVERYTHING. The audio is great and my friends say this is the best I ever sounded. The calls coming through while I’m playing is so convenient. 10/10 for me.

I’ve tried most of the gaming earbuds and would highly recommend these over the other options. Theyre comfortable, sound good, have great physical controls (including the ability to assign clicks to mute/unmute in the settings), and their Sonar software has an option to automatically switch your Windows audio to the earbuds vs speakers (although this feature is in beta and isn’t perfect). They’re not perfect - the noise cancellation isn’t the best, and the mic won’t blow you away. And you’ll want to upgrade the firmware immediately to address connectivity issues. But compared to the other options on the market, these are great

Got these couple weeks ago to Try out, wanted AirPods but also wanted something that would connect the my ps5. They sound good and gameplay sounds good. Once you get the EQ settings you want I think they sound great. Mic isn’t the best for game chat but I got it set up better now. Obviously much lighter than an over the ear headset, overall good, 4 stars honestly being the mic and if you ever have to update them you will need a pc or laptop.

The sound coming out of these things is insane. Insane is an understatement, I truly had no idea what to expect with “gaming buds”, but man. These things pack an absolute punch. The only, and I mean only downside is the mic quality. Everything else is great, but my friends complain about how flat I sound, and that’s even if the buds pick up every word that I’m saying. If the mic were even a little better on these, I’d give em a 5, but it is a bit annoying trying to communicate with a party full of my friends and not feel annoyed/annoying.

Overall I've had a great experience with these ear buds, especially with my Xbox Series X. There aren't too many earbuds that can support Xbox so these are definitely on the top of that list. The controls are straightforward and the sound quality is nice. The mic quality could use some work, but you really can't knock on it too much because these are mics in the ear buds and does not have a dedicated boom mic. I've never had to worry about charging for these either as they easily last 3 -4 hour gaming sessions. One thing you should keep in mind is that to update the earbuds you need to have a windows devices so you can download and install the updated firmware

I jdut got these around 48hrs ago, and have broken them in on my ROG Strix Scar 18 5080, playing Doom, Rivals, and watchign some videos. They are excellent sound quality, and are really effective at active noise cancellation as well. Truly cannot even hear the fans on turbo mode pushing 60dB when noise canceling is active. Great bass, very clear, and to my ears, really great sound. Added bonus of not messing up when the mic is active as well, as airpods do. Id recommned them highly for pc gaming on the go.

Definitely a great game bud from ease of use, set up, app accommodations as well as long great battery life. Where it misses for me is the comfort, it fits in my ear perfectly but after just a measly 20-30 min of wearing it starts to hurt my ears. Looking past the discomfort in ear it stands up well with sound quality and sound clarity.

Cycling through the various included earbuds and I still have issues. You simply cannot put them in your ear. In one ear I insert them upside down and twist, the other you sometimes get lucky and can insert them logo up and it sticks. The worst part is when they have a 75% fit, good enough to proceed but not a tight feeling. The quality is great. Audio is great. Mic feedback, they say I sound low. I don’t like not knowing if the mic is muted or not. You kind of have to get in lobby and see if your mic is on and then turn it off using the tap featute.

Sounds great, easy to use, looks great, fits a bit uncomfortable in my ears but not too bad.. really love that it as both Bluetooth and 2.4 mode

The sound is exactly what I was looking for. I play first person shooters and I can hear people crystal clear. Mic is great but obviously for ear buds it picks up some background noise. Software is glitchy but does work 95% of the time, but if you’re not changing settings there’s no issues.

These things are so much better than I anticipated. The fit is incredibly comfortable, the sound is on par with with my airpods and the anc is surprisingly great. Connecting to bluetooth took 2 seconds and the steel series app has a ton of useful features. Plus connecting to a gaming console or pc with the adapter which fits inside the case is simple. I absolutely love these things and could easily recommend them to anyway. They could have charged $200 and I would have said thats more than fair. They are that good.

These gamebuds are very good sound and mic quality. The battery life is good for long gaming sessions. I’m having a small issue with the gamebuds connecting instead of charging, but unplugging the dongle from the console when not using it is a current workaround.

Sound quality is good. They are comfortable to wear and connect to bluetooth nicely. The only minor issue I've had is getting them to connect to the Xbox. They sometimes need to be messed with in order to get them connected although they always do.

Great sound and mic quality, especially for wireless ear buds. No connectivity issues while playing. Noise cancellation eliminates all distractions. Will always recommend.
