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!

These things are so much better than I anticipated. The fit is incredibly comfortable, the sound is on par with with my airpods and the anc is surprisingly great. Connecting to bluetooth took 2 seconds and the steel series app has a ton of useful features. Plus connecting to a gaming console or pc with the adapter which fits inside the case is simple. I absolutely love these things and could easily recommend them to anyway. They could have charged $200 and I would have said thats more than fair. They are that good.

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

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.

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.

Very compact and appealing. Extended wear was uncomfortable. Sometimes to get them to connect I had to open and close the case 10 times. On discord they worked great or other times people couldnt hear me at all. Hopefully they make a second version and correct the flaws because I would try again

I absolutely love the Steel Series Gamebuds! My mother board has a fried Bluetooth chip so I can’t connect anything to it but here comes Steel Series with a solution. True. Wireless. 2.4 ghz connection via dongle. I haven’t gotten started on the battery life. These bad boys last me it seems like a week before I have to even charge the holder/charger.

I pre ordered these and they definitely lived up to the hype. I've used Steelseries/Astro full headsets for years but thought these would work when I was getting sweaty in full cans. These things rock! I use them as my primary output for gaming. Battery life is great and the software is intuitive. I'd buy these again.

The first pair BB shipped me the right ear didn't work. So i talked to customer service which is great and they returned them for another pair. Needless to say these work and customer service was great and the return process wasn't hard. Thanks to BB
