Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

These are easy to use and sound great. Can confirm they work on XBox Series X, PS5 and PC. Some of the settings are a pain when switching what you are using them on but that isn’t the earbuds fault. These also have phenomenal battery life!

First pair of buds I've actually liked, very comfortable with the right inner ear attachments. Holds a decent charge for long streaming sessions as well, can use a single and easy to go mono sound if needed of you have a lopsided charge in the base.

First time using in-ear buds, and was on the unsure side. Was looking to find a pair that would easily connect to my pc and other devices, as my previous gen A50s were havung problems switching. The SteelSeries Buds perform very well and the set up is easy. It does have a desktop and mobile app, which are okay. I only really use the desktop app to manage discord and xbox app volumes. A lot of the sound profiles sounds great though, and the spatial audio on the Warzone setting was great. I also like the triple tap option to switch between the 2.4 ghz and bluetooth feature. My only knock is they may be a little large for some ears so long usage may not be viable (my wife did not find them comfortable even with the smallest ear tips), and i wish there was sound mixing on the mobile app (unless i missed it).

Great fit and good battery. Only thing is the mic quality isn’t the best.

I was getting tired of people I game with complaining about how bad the mic was on the pulse explorer and as far as the sound, they weren't anything special. I switched over to these when they released and no complaints yet on the mic (granted it wont be as clear as a boom mic) and the sound is actually amazing! Rich and full soundstage and you can set up custom profiles for the game you are currently playing via the app. I also love the fact the app on iphone connects to them instantly when they are being used with the ps5 and you can change the customer EQ and ANC/Transparent mode on the fly via app. Also, for those who complain the sound is too low, turn off the volume limiter in the app and the sound will be LOUD!

So far I have no complaints. Fits comfortably in the ear and I like the sound quality. Good battery life as well. I use the anc as well as the hear through and both do what they need to do. Have no comments on the mic quality as I have not used it.

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

These are super cool. Bought them randomly when they were on sale. They work great. Sounds quality is cool. The noise canceling works great. Battery life is good too.

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.

Honestly would recommend these to anyone who is looking for any type of audio for either gaming or for your phone they fit your ears well and they have great features.

Great sound and super portable. Love listening to my favorite YouTube shows in the morning through the ps5 and keeping things quiet at night while the wife and kids are asleep.

These are okay to be honest. You know when you aren’t sure if you should keep something but you do and then regret it? Well I think I’m going to listen to my gut this time. These headphones are nice for the most part but they have a few issues that I can’t overlook. The volume doesn’t truly go that high and it’s rough when playing games that require you to hear footsteps nearby. In some cases you can hear buzzing during silent moments in game and at times they malfunction and blare sound louder than can be achieved through volume controls. If you’re buying for the noise cancellation well they’re okay. At times they seem to cancel my own voice out when talking to others which means I can’t communicate effectively and it seems to occur most often during cutscenes or loud moments in game. They come with a great app with multiple pre set volume settings but it seems gimmicky cause you don’t notice that much of a difference anyway. They have a great charging system as well as battery life but so do many others. I wanted so much to like these but I’m going to return them after using them for a solid 21 days. I think I’ll just cough up a bit more cash and try something else

Worked as intended. Easy to set up. Comfortable in the ear. Battery life seems good.

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

Finally earbuds for Xbox! I got mine 2 months ago and I enjoy them a lot. No complaints about mic quality. Directional hearing is comparable to my over the ear ones. Occasionally I have to go to Xbox settings to disconnect them and turn them back on to get audio. But thats few and far between and it's as soon as I start so doesnt impede my gaming.

Great quality and features. Great for people who don’t like to have headphones either on their ears or on top of their head. Convenient for gaming with kids to only have one in and still be able to hear if they get up in the middle of the night.

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.

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.
