Q: QuestionDo these work with the Meta Quest 3 via the included USB C dongle?(1 answer)
A: AnswerUnfortunately these would not be able to connect to Quest 3 via the dongle, but can connect via Bluetooth.Answered by Paul
- A: AnswerThere's no catch, it's compatible with all the same devices as the PS5 version in exactly the same way. The dongle has a small switch which needs to be switched to Xbox mode to enable Xbox to work is the only difference. The app contains a full list of presets for games on PS5, Xbox and other platforms like PC and Switch. They are all always accessible no matter what system you are on, right from the app.

Some of the best gaming earbuds available!
If you wear glasses or prefer earbuds over earcups, the Arctis Gamebuds are some of the best available. SteelSeries really knocked it out of the park on their first go. Not only do they sound great for gaming, but they’re also really good Bluetooth earbuds in general. Comparable in audio quality and features to higher end models like the AirPods Pro and Beats Fit Pro. Fit and finish are really good and they are some of the most low-profile earbuds I’ve worn. Controls take some getting used to as they involve button presses, and bass response is highly dependent on EQ settings, but everything else, including its stacked feature set and battery life, make up for it.

Great audio, subpar ANC
I recently tried the SteelSeries earbuds and was impressed by their audio quality and the excellent app that allows for extensive adjustments to settings. The compatibility with various devices is a significant plus, making them versatile for different uses. However, I encountered some issues with the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). It wasn’t very effective for me, and at times, especially with heavy bass, the right earbud would buzz when I had the volume at 70%. The distortion was distracting, but I found that turning off the ANC or keeping the volume lower resolved the problem. Overall, while the audio performance and app features are fantastic, the ANC could use improvement. If you're not reliant on ANC for your listening experience, these earbuds could be a solid choice.

Wonderful wireless earbuds for gaming.
I own the arctis nova pro wireless for my pc and after getting these i barely use them. Yes, the audio quality isnt as good as the nova pros but im not expecting them to be as good as those for a much lower price tag and smaller drivers. What I like the most about them is that they're lightweight and my ears dont feel fatigued after wearing them for hours. Sonar or the mobile app is the most important thing about these earbuds. You install the app on your pc or mobile device and you can create EQs as well as use premade EQs for specific games. My only issue with them is every now and then the earbuds will disconnect from the dongle for a few seconds then reconnect. I'm sure software updates will help in the future.
