    These have excellent sound quality vs. the various Samsung buds I've been using for the last 4 years. The 2.4ghz dongle is great for my pc. Really good value here. I will be adding some foam eartips, which I wish they would include. My only compliant is that the button is pretty sensitive and can be pressed by accident pretty easily.

    I mainly got these because having big ears, headphones hurt them after a while. Thats probably the main reason im going to keep these as well. I heard the mic is kind of like im in a tunnel so it could definitely be better, but at the same time how good can a mic in an earbud really get. ANC works decently enough, it almost drowns out the sound of a heater thats excessively loud near me where i work.

    Great sound quality with awesome noise cancellation. Was pleasently surprised that they have sidetone too! For someone who travels and wants earbuds for gaming but also listening to music comfortably, these are perfect for you.

    These buds work better than I expected. The phone app makes switching between 2.4 and BT easy. Good sound quality with the added benefit of being able to leverage game specific presets.

    Best decision I made. Mic does kind of suck. But does the job. Most people use a separate mic anyways

    I purchased this so I could use them on my PC, Xbox, and Switch 2. They work across all the platforms, which is a huge plus, but that’s where the pros end and the cons begin. The sound quality is not great if you use them in the default “flat” setting. If you use the phone app to change the EQ setting, they sound really good, but only in the best of situations. The Active Noise Cancellation is terrible. I used these on a plane to play my Switch 2. They only cut out about 30-40% of the noise, and the volume was so low at the max setting that I could barely hear my game. The big advantage of these buds is that you can use the microphone in 2.4 mode to play games, but you sound kinda muffled, so that’s not great either. For the price and the quality, I cannot recommend these GameBuds.

    This is my second pair of these buds and they were everything I wanted for the price. However I think their firmware updates have affected the mic input level on the left earbud. I cannot use it for communication anymore if I just want to useity by itself. This also happened to the first pair I had too. I think the firmware update did something to break the ability for the left earbud ti increase mic input volume. A shame. One would figure SteelSeries would have sufficiently tested these updates before rushing them out the door
