Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

Great product. Doesn’t near match the quality of a headset but great for casual use and to not mess your hair up or to wear a hat or hoodie while gaming. If you want earbuds for gaming these are the ones to get

Very pleased with these ear buds! The sound quality was better then I’d expected and the unlike many ear buds I’ve come across these were very comfortable for extended use

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.

So to start out I use them for my PS5 Pro. The audio that you get is great, the directional audio is better than my over the ear gaming heatset. So it does lack features on console, if you use them on pc you get all the features like EQ settings and all kinds of other features. So if your on console you only get a few features which sucks it should give you all the features for both pc and console. The sound is still really good and the fit in my ears is awesome has a good seal. The lows are deep and rich, the mids are clean and the highs are clear and not distorted or to high. I also like that when changing settings you have to click the front of the earbud because it's a button not touch which I love because with touch accidental touches are annoying. They aren't to hard to press but there not to light either, they're just right. So all in all for the 200$ price range for earbuds I'd put these up there with the best of em. I do recommend them if your on the market and lastley they come with a USB C 2.4 GHZ dongle but it comes with a USB C to USB A adapter if needed. The dongle can be stored inside the case. Also the case will charge them about 2 1/2 times and a 20 minute charge gives you about 2 hours.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova series, particularly the wireless options, is generally well-regarded for its high-quality audio, comfortable design, and versatile features. While the price point and some potential issues with ANC or software may be drawbacks for some, the innovative features like the dual-battery system and customizable EQ options make these headsets a strong contender in the premium gaming headset market.

Great sound for gaming & listening to music. Enjoy these better than over the ear headsets. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I have to unsync it & resync it from the Xbox sometimes to make the mic work. Sound is amazing though for gaming

I was pleasantly surprised on these ear buds. They sound good, the mic is decent according to friends in discord. I like the dedicated dongle included. They are pretty comfortable. My only con is lack of features, and the ANC is pretty bad. You have to have a pc to update them and you can only make profiles on the Sonar app on your pc not using the app on your phone.

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.

Earbuds have excellent sound quality and are pretty comfortable i can wear them for up to 5 hours and the price wasnt bad.

Amazing! Just amazing!! These earbuds sound so so good. Out of the box they do sound very bad and I was so close to returning them but after using the equalizer, they sound amazing! Very strong and punchy bass and very good highs as well. These earbuds beat top of the line brands like Bose, Samsung, and especially Sony. These have to be the best sounding earbuds on the market right now. I compared them with all types of earbuds and they beat every single brand I just mentioned earlier. I just hope they last and if they don't I will update my review.

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

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!

lacks bass and the touch controls are not the greatest but a solid pair that work wireless for both ps5 and xbox/pc

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.

They are great at what they do. I have the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless headset and they are pretty similar, but in earbud form. They connect with 2.4 wireless and bluetooth, but you can't listen to audio from both simultaneously, unlike the full size headsets. You can swap between 2.4 and bluetooth with a button, and I think it can automatically change to bluetooth if you get a call, which is nice. The ANC is not as good as something from Bose or Sony but it is better than nothing. It is great that you can use them as gaming buds or just regular bluetooth earbuds.
