Waste of money and time.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Idk how it's 2025 and a (tech) company is still requiring you to connect a WIRELESS product into a PC to update. And not only that, but the process is the the biggest pain in the rear. I've been trying to update these things for almost an hour now. The "app" refuses to recognize my earbuds and is literally just a massive ad trying to get you to buy more crap. It's slow, and looks like it was built in the 90s. Which was the last time I remember having to plug a device into a PC to update so I guess it's fitting. Also they don't even sound good and constantly disconnect. I have to pull out the connector from my Xbox EVERY time I want to use them. 0 stars if I could.

Great for ppl who hate over the head headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not a fan of over the head headphones and these work fantastic. I would say it is for the Casual gamers most likely. But I love the app and how I can connect to my phone and take phone calls in the middle of the game and it switches automatically in between. I use these on my xbox with the adapter provided in the package. I love the option of having both or just one earphone in as well. Lots of options for sounds profiles as well! Great Job Steel Series!

Not Steelseries’s best product
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive had/still have many Steelseries products and have been pleased with them until these ear buds. I had non stop connection issues mainly in one ear bud, even with my pc only 3 feet away. Literally every 5 minutes one bud would completely cut out for about 20 seconds until it reconnected, then rinse and repeat. It made them just unusable and i was forced to return them. I also wasn’t impressed with the sound quality overall especially from a Steelseries product.

The best ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These ear buds are next level. Small yet powerful, and the app for your phone brings the customization to a different level.

I think there is a firmware issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second pair of these buds and they were everything I wanted for the price. However I think their firmware updates have affected the mic input level on the left earbud. I cannot use it for communication anymore if I just want to useity by itself. This also happened to the first pair I had too. I think the firmware update did something to break the ability for the left earbud ti increase mic input volume. A shame. One would figure SteelSeries would have sufficiently tested these updates before rushing them out the door
