Great buds, especially with the transparency mode, which for a parent of young kids is almost necessary so I can stay alert. Happy with my purchase so far. Recommendation for better tranparency: Max out the sidetone, which allows more high frequencies through and better clarity of speech.

I had high hopes for these but after using them for a few days the sound is just ok… you would think for being ear buds the sound would be right in your ear…. But that is not the case with these. Playing COD on these was nothing special for the price and the mic was not that good when getting feedback from others . I had high hopes wanting something compact and I love ear buds, but these are a hard no for me. The controls are not consistent as well when you try to press the buttons on the buds.
In summary while they do work for the sound quality they are overpriced.

Tried these out for 2 weeks and they are terrible if you plan to use them on Xbox. Constant issues with connection. They also increase latency (ping) if you play on wifi. I ran 3 different tests to see what the issue was. The dongle broadcasts a 2.4 GHz signal right next to the Xbox which causes congestion. The mic is hit or miss. People tell me they cant hear me very well or not at all. I did hook them up to my pc to use the steel series app to adjust all the settings and nothing really improved. I searched online to see if I just had a defective pair but I saw other people saying similar things. Save your money and buy a regular Xbox headset. Maybe next version that comes out will improve.

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.
Disappointment...get different Steelseries headset

Bought for the black ops 6 release. Was excited to get, but once hooked up my party can barly hear me. The sound of my voice is like in a tunnel or mic is across room. Ended up going back to my other arctis headset. Ill use the earbuds for other around the house stuff, but if your buying for gaming to talk with friends, look at other steelseries products. If your solo gaming, yes they can be good, sounds was different being use to normal headsets. Finding myself, I am pushing the buttons when adjusting earpieces.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not the quality I expected from this manufacturer. Voice sounds hollow and the anc is not great

I attempted to use these primarily for gaming on my PlayStation 5 but the microphone volume was low per my group, the audio volume was inconsistent(verified that the volume limter was off), and the earbuds would randomly disconnect. On a postitive, they are pretty nice for everyday use when they do connect.
