    Awesome gaming buds! I travel a lot and got tired of the space my SteelSeries Arctis 7x took up in my bag, so I switch to the GameBuds. They work great with my gaming laptop, and being able to quick switch and take a phone is a great feature.

    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.

    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.

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

    I think there is a firmware issue

    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
