Great 3d Audio Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is a must have for anyone with a handheld especially. The 3d audio is superb for how small the device is. I agree it’s a little pricey at Msrp but if you can find them on sale like I did then they are more than worth it. Definitely recommend!

Purchased for PS5
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first pair I bought were broken - they weren’t synced to the dongle from factory, and after checking the online manual I figured out how to resync them. Unfortunately only one would sync to 2.4 while the other would only sync to 5. So i exchanged them for another pair and while they worked, getting them to connect to my Mac for the firmware update was a whole other problem that i had to use Google to solve. I’m not impressed with noise cancellation since i can still hear people talking at a normal volume in the room, and I had to turn the mic all the way to max so my friends can hear my coms. In the end, they’re just ok but I really don’t recommend them.

Great for gaming on the go with Nintendo switch 2!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great earbuds that work for multiple video game consoles and PC. I particularly use them for my Nintendo switch too as well as gaming on my PlayStation. Very happy with them. I think that adaptive noise control is superb. I do wish they would provide a cleaning tool to remove ear wax on it. Oh no, great purchase and especially appreciate the price.

Volume is super low!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for use with ps5, series x, and pc. The bluetooth is great and the headphones sound really good. There is a vast number of equilizer settings, which is great, and the transparency and noise calcellation work well. However, they're pretty much useless to me because the volume using the dongle on ps5, series x, or pc makes the volume super low. I turned off volume limiter, turned up the console volume, and tried making custom eqs with sonar, and it didn't fix the issue. Steel series, please make the volume better. Until then, these are a 9 out of 10 would not recommend.

Great, not perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off i wanna say these are great for people who hate hot ears from the standard gaming headsets. Outside of the xbox they are decent for music from your phone or taking calls. Yeah, it sucks you can use 2.4 and BT at the same time but whatever. The anc isnt great. Where they really shine is comfort as i can wear these for hour whereas some earbuds hurt my ears after 1hr+. Another big downside: the mic. Sometimes my mate say i sound great but theres times they say i sound like im in a tunnel? 4/5 overall just for the comfort dispite the downsides

I really wanted to like these GameBuds!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really really wanted to like these GameBuds. I have had a SteelSeries Arctis 9 headset for nearly 2 years and loved it. It gave out on me today sadly. I purchased these GameBuds because I really really wanted them to work and work well. Unfortunately, I will be returning them tomorrow and getting a proper headset. Like I said, I really wanted to like these earbuds. They sound amazing for earbuds and honestly if I hadn't run into the issues that I did I would have considered getting them as backup at a later date. The first issue I had was the buds didn't have separate channels like my Arctis 9 headset did. With my headset, I was able to separate chat (discord), game sound, and even other media if I decided to. This way I could change the volume levels of one without messing with the other. The buds don't have this feature. The second issue came after using them for roughly an hour and a half. The left ear randomly started losing connection. That alone makes me very hesitant to use these for gaming especially streaming. I hate having to troubleshoot on stream and if my earbuds kept losing connection I would get very frustrated very fast. Now the right one started losing connection. I AM LITERALLY SITTING NEXT TO THE WIRELESS DONGLE! Unless it's just a weird issue I was having I would consider these a waste of money (and time).

Great set!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are super comfortable and the software is very good at what it does. I think there is a missed opportunity though which is why I gave it a 4 star. The transparent mode isnt good enough to allow voices in eve. The lowest volume settings or even while audio isnt played through the device. Fix that though and its easily 5of5.

Yassss
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a steelseries stan. I have converted 5 people to their products already. All over the ear headphones. I got these as soon as i could. The quality is great. The bass is there. Million of presets for games in the app. I have found the dongle doesnt work with my work chromebook though, which is sad because i need it to work there so i can bluetooth to my phone still. The dongle works with my home comouter just fine. My friends are all about to get a pair of these as well. Oh and the other thing i dont like is you have to use the computer to create presets THEN move them over from the computer to your phone. Thats too much work. I should be able to create EQ mixes from my phone as well.

Great Gaming Earbuds

Decent gaming buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd go with 4.5 but it's not an option. Noise cancelling works well and the 2.4 mode gives pretty decent sound with very little latency. Connection seemed a little wonky at first but after doing it a few time,s no issues. Wireless charging is nice too
