    Excellent earbuds for PC gaming. Spacial audio sounds good and noise canceling works great. Automatically switches to your phones Bluetooth if you answer a call. Seamlessly goes back to 2.4 mode after call. Awesome feature.

    Absolutely beats my Playstation 3D pulse headphones by a mile. The sound and ANC stand out amongst buds I've tried before. I use them everyday and have had zero issues.

    Great set of earbuds. I love the option of using Bluetooth and the dongle. Especially since it allows them to be used with everything. The software is good. Its nice to use an app on your phone or the software on the computer to make changes. Noise cancelation helps drown out outside sounds but they aren't completely gone.

    Amazing sound, great battery life, and comfortable. Connecting the bluetooth to your phone before you can connect to your Playstation 5 is annoying.

    A Great Replacement for Logitech GFits

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I wish there was a way to do 4.5 because there are some minor issues, but overall these are very good. I switched over from the Logitech GFits to these and they outperform the GFits in every way except for comfort/fit and connection resilience. CONS: Steel Series GG app is better than Logitech GHub but that really isn't saying much. The interface is cumbersome to say the least and while updating firmware for these was a breeze compared to the GFits this software could be improved significantly with some QoL improvements. These really do not fit me well at all. Trying all 3 tips that came with them I have various issues compared to the GFits. They fall out easily either due to the tips being too small or too big and don't expect to be able to do things like smile or eat food while you have them in without risking them dropping. PROS: Something I didn't realize was a feature is actually one of my favorite parts. If you're connected to the 2.4 dongle in "pc" mode you still receive calls/audio in bluetooth mode pretty seemlessly. So if you're working or gaming and you get a call the bluetooth audio overrides the game audio which is perfect for me. These are pretty high quality and water resistant as well. Having push button control rather than a "touch" interface on the ear pieces is kind of strange but it does prevent accidental activations for the most part.

    Great earbuds that I wouldn’t even consider to be “gaming” do they sound great on PC and PS5 for video games? Of course they do but they also just sound great for music and phone calls as well. The microphone quality is surprisingly good for earbuds as well.

    They sounds great but the left ear bud has connection issues. I have had it just randomly disconnect and re connect 5-10 min latter. you don't make sure they are charging when you put them in the case you might go to use them and one will be dead.

    Cons outweigh the pros on these. Great fit in my ears, but they’re not very loud and the microphone is terrible. I could not get them to work properly in steel series software which they seemed to rely heavily on for quality… I'm sure that will be fixed with an update. With that being said, the sound quality wasn’t terrible but they are not worth the price in my opinion.
