Was very hesitant to buy gaming earbuds....so glad I did. Outside of the chance I'll drop and lose them I live the sound. I play battlefield 6 on PS5 and I can hear footsteps in the midst of battle. Great purchase.

I was hesitant at first, now I wouldn’t look back,
The only concern is the ear phones either pausing or playing by themselves when being removed from ear but other than that great product I use them daily I sleep with head phones and they work great for that aswell,
Over all I’d say if you are on the fence about them just do it buy em and give em a shot if not return em

Sounds way better than my other headsets. Specially when it comes to hearing footsteps. Everyone has different opinions with media/music but I would say that it sounds ok but I primarily use these for gaming. Only issue I have with this is the screeching noise on the left side while using transparency.

I really love these headphones. They sound great and work really well for gaming which is good because that’s why I bought them. Also they are easy to make your presets and save them to your app. Also the app has plenty of presets for different games that work really well. There are a couple drawbacks but I still love them.
The mic is far from your mouth so it seems like others sometimes have a hard time hearing you over party chat
Second is I have issues from time to time connecting to Bluetooth after my PlayStation.
With that being said I do not regret my decision and would recommend them.

Im so sick of these companies forcing people to have to have a mac or pc to upgrade. They have an app (finally!) and yet they havent added any of their older headphones, and you cant update? Everything but that is great. Out of the box these are the blandest headphones you’ll ever hear but with the app you can choose different presets and sounds for games that works pretty well. Also the app feels like its still in beta. One issue too, is unlike the series 7’s you can connect to 2 devices. Not a huge deal but something i love about my series 7. These are also comfortable but thats dumb to say since everyone has a different shaped ear.

This brand in any of the products teamed with sonar is something that everyone would buy if they knew. But you only know what you know so keep on not hearing footsteps while I hear them alllll. Muahahahahah

Excellent sound and easy to use. I love not having giant cans on. Microphone could be a little better but it’s can be adjusted in sound menu. The app is great too. Got it on sale for 125.99 and that’s a amazing deal!

I have an iPhone and always went for AirPods. But the steel series changed my mind. They are comfortable, great quality, same price and plus, they are compatible with my Ps5

The sound quality is decent overall, but the microphone performance is poor. I've only tested them on PC so far. When using the companion app's EQ presets, I experience noticeable audio clipping/distortion during loud moments like explosions in games. It's frustrating wish I had returned them .

The look good and sound pretty okay. Battery life is actually as good as advertised, which I find very impressive.
Biggest issue is with connectivity. Random disconnects occur once every couple of hours on average. Sometimes go days without issues, sometimes disconnect every few minutes.
Sent them back for an RMA in hopes I had a bad unit, to no avail.
Disconnects only last a few seconds at most, but it is super annoying in the middle of a game, I use these strictly for video calls and use Arctis Pros for gaming.

Love using these on my PC for casual day to day use and light gaming. Where they falter though is being able to consistently hear footsteps properly in several games with the corresponding presets assigned to each title. I’ll stick to my over the ears for competitive gaming, but for everday use, they’re equivalent to AirPods but just more reliable for PC use.

These are great set of earbuds. The sound quality over bluetooth via my phone is pretty good with the ANC settings. Not at as good as my AirPods for my iPhone but only slightly so, even with the preset EQ settings.
Switching over to 2.4 ghz via the dongle for gaming on my Switch, PS5 and PC are a different story. Sound quality is definitely better in this mode, in my opinion. Even better with the preset EQ settings that you can choose from.
I have a SteelSeries Arctic Nova 7 that I use for PS5 and PC and those are definitely better, but these are a great alternative for when those start to clamp down on my head a little much.

Awesome gaming earbuds. They are extremely comfortable, sound great and connect in a variety of different way. I’ve used them on all consoles, iPhone, iPad and PC. Love them.

These are pretty good. I can hear footsteps amazingly when I have these in. Con is the headset mic isn’t amazing but you should expect it to be to amazing for earbuds. So keep that in mind when buying.
