Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

These ear buds have been great since I lost my Razer Hammerheads. They feel nice, the options are great and I love that there are a bunch of different audio profiles for different games and listening styles. Just a few minor problems I have. There’s an issue with the 2.4 reciver sometimes, sound doesn’t come through and I have to unplug and plug it back in but it works fine after that. The case is fine but the hinge is a bit too lightweight. I have to angle it so it doesn’t close while I’m taking out or putting back in the buds. The app does everything it needs to do; it may say that it’s lost connection but just press to reconnect and it comes back. I do however wish you could find more audio profiles through the app; you either have to customize something yourself or join the steelseries discord server to find profiles others have made. Overall though, im extremely happy with my purchase and im glad im finally able to have good quality earbuds for my xbox.

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

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.

Great Earbuds! Steel Series has done it again in my eyes, relatively comfortable with several sized rubbers allowing it to fit all sizes, sounds amazing and the ANC isn't super strong, but strong enough to not cause that pressure feeling while also blocking out most low frequency sounds! Mics are good quality and the sidetone works wonders, transparency is also amazing

Great earbuds. I would say they are like the airpods pro gen 1 and the galaxy pro 2 for a good example in normal audiences. Its super great in every aspect except 2 things 1 is connection. For whatever reason steel series is kinda hit or miss in this the adapter they use doesnt sometimes like 10% of the time connect when getting on from a off console it connects but in a party you are hearing everone but it says connect mic. The fix is just disconnect the adapter and plug it back in. The number 2 is the mic is kinda bad. I mean its like the galaxy pro 2 mic its not bad but its like your far away from the microphone which you definitely are since this sits in your ear with no stem or blade coming out facing your mouth

These sound great, pretty much on par with any current earbuds. ANC works well too. For gaming, they are excellent. Fit is fine for me with the tips that were already on them, but they include others. The mic works well, my brother says I sound great :) Connection to phone and xbox was very simple. The phone app gives options to change settings too. Overall, solid.

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.

Currently I own multiple gaming headsets(Astro A50x, hyperX and etc) and also multiple Earbuds(Samsung Buds 3 Pro, Beats, and etc). This one really surprised me in terms of quality and specially lag free playing fast games like COD and Marvel Rivals. The only problem was initially pair it with my smartphone and my PC. You need to update the firmware and switch the case to PC mode to do it.(It came in Xbox mode). The ANC is not good as the other Earbuds.

I got this to use with use with my Meta Quest 3, my Asus ROG Ally X, and my android phone. I would say the sound quality is about average, not bad but not great. The latency is too slow to work via bluetooth with the quest 3 but is about on par with the speakers that are built in. I was hoping for better sound quality than the Quest 3 speakers but I would say its about the same if not a little worse. Most sounds are fine but if you play with the equalizer at all heavy bass sounds like explosions or gun shots sounds like the speaker is going to blow out not a "boom" sound. Ultimately I decided to do a wired set of headphones I have with my Quest 3 and that works way better. The usb-c dongle works well with everything I have tried. Bluetooth pairs easily as well. I will probably use these as a back up set. These may be comfortable for some ears but I found that I have to adjust them a little each time I put them inor they hurt my ears. Honestly, i would recommend something else, especially for the price.

These earbuds sound great for gaming and listening to music. Easy to use and battery lasts for some time. Have yet to really charge them. And a nice change compared to using over ear headset.

They're good sounding earbuds. Have used them for gaming and casual listening on my phone and no issues with either. No latency when gaming on my PC using the included dongle. Wish the case was higher quality but it is what it is. They also fit really nicely in my ears and I can wear them for hours without issue

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.

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.

Steelseries arctis earbuds are great i love the sound and the app is easy it makes my gaming come alive i can play for hours because they are so comfortable

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!

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.

Pretty good headset. The directional input for sounds wasn’t the greatest. I don’t fine it to have much better performance then my turtle beach stealth pros

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.

I can't believe how good it sounds for its size. It's also very comfortable for me, I actually don't feel them at all like with my AirPods pro or Beats Fit Pro.
