Incredible Sound, User Interface, and Battery
This is for potential buyers, as I’m sure this company doesn’t need my review, but these headphones are incredible. I did a bit of research looking for some 3D audio gaming buds while using my Legion Go, and I’m beyond thrilled I got these. Not sure where to begin. So many great features between the ANC and transparency modes, these can cancel out some real noise. I work in a noisy environment and had no problem hearing everything going on in Call of Duty. Usually footsteps would be muffled and drowned out by the noise but the ANC is next level. The quick tap features allow for switching between ANC/ Transparency modes or Bluetooth and the 2.4hz connector flawlessly. I can go from gaming and waiting in a lobby to watching something on my phone to pass time without a hitch. The battery is also insane. I played for a solid hour with ANC on and the battery only got to 88%! I’m tempted to use these for my console gaming, they’re that good. I haven’t even scratched the surface of the app features. I would highly recommend these for gaming and everything in general. The charging case is very minimal and ease to pocket. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

it has everything i wanted
2.4ghz dongle for gaming & other lower latency purposes on my laptop setup, bluetooth for everyday use with my phone or ipad.i’ve been thinking of getting soundcore’s vr p10’s until i found out about this online. one of the best in the market so far for my niche needs.sounds way better than what i have now, which are my koss ksc75’s. i know the comparison between the two are too distinct and thus incomparable (as the ksc75’s lack in bass) but i also like that i don’t have to worry about my wires being in the way of my arms anymore while on my keyboard & mouse. i also like its potential, cus u could customize the eq’s through the company’s software on pc or through their app on ios (im sure android has it too, 100%) and i doubt the majority of the <3 star reviews haven’t known about this.10hrs battery uptime and 30hrs in case (as it claims). i doubt i’d be on my laptop for that long for the battery to fully deplete. and i’d be wanting to take a breather from earbuds after (as i always do with heavy headphones & earbud use), so less the worry of instantly connecting my earbuds to my iphone or anything like that (i’d be letting it charge afterwards)

Good but not perfect
Ok so these buds are nice. They fit well in my ears and feel comfortable. Sound quality is ok. The ANC isn’t the best. I can hear some background noise when it’s silent.The dongle works very well. No lag at all. I’ve used the dongle on an Xbox series S and have no issues when it come to gameplay and chat.I also tried to connect to a Nintendo Switch. No issues when it come to gameplay but there is no chat available.I’ve been using the soundcore vrp10 and while playing Fortnite I am able to chat with team no issues.The same goes for the PrismXR earbuds. No issues.Very disappointed that these Gamebuds by a very well known headset maker wouldn’t have a way to get this issues resolved.Software, steelseries. Gg, is easy to use on both PC and mobile.

Not ready for Prime time.
This one of the worst products I have purchase. Nothing worked. I was able to get one ear bud to play a very low sound out of one ear bud. Not returning the product I did not want someone else to get these. Just threw them away.

The mic isn’t great like all these people claim
I bought this to use while on my PC and will probably use it with my phone in the future.I did not know I had to use an app for this. I thought it was optional, it’s not, unless you want to sound like absolute garbage when you use the mic. From what I was told, I sounded like I was in a submarine. I messed around with the presets and eventually settled on one for high-pitched voice because I’m a female with a somewhat high-pitched voice. I told my buddies they’ll just have to deal with how crappy I sound when I’m using these earbuds.I did use these for about 2-3 hrs just listening to music and watching shows. My ears started to hurt after that so I took them off.I do not recommend these if you’re a PC gamer. Maybe the mic is way better if you’re on console and mobile but this ain’t it for PC. The audio is great and it’s better at noise canceling than my headset, but this is a buy a separate mic to use with these earbuds angle. That really shouldn’t be a thing considering how expensive these earbuds already are.

Good item
Always wanted a set of ear buds for gaming/computer use, but never knew which one to get. After using my nova pro, I thought steel would probably make a in ear product that was good. Everything you would expect from a good ear piece was there, music is very good as well. Games sounds, directional audio is all good. While gaming you can answer and speak when a call comes in, but can not have a music app from your phone lets say and have in game audio, at least at the moment. I do recommend it.

not wotth it
i give those buds 2 because the sounds qualitry is pretty good , but until the can figure a way to make volume up and down and anything else so easey to control almos like an airpods , no way i give those a go gaming buds should be about easy mute and easy volume control those two only, and after that eq selections , ok but for about all those other things, take a page from apple airpods you dont have to be close but make control eassy , everyting is so easy to control that s why people are buyng apple and then when i keep pressing i lost where am i in settings that s a problem i m coming from nova wireless , these buds not there yet if you have to add a volume worker that s fine , because during a game if i have to press more than 3 seconds i lose ,

Perfect
These earbuds are the best in my opinion. Functionality and ease of use are pretty good with them. Just have to kinda get use to them and how they work, once you do then they’re phenomenal. The mix isn’t the best but it gets the job done. Battery life is excellent, comfortable to wear long periods of time as well. I was hesitant at first to buy these but I’m very happy that I did and suggest them to anyone looking for an alternative to over the ear set up for game.

Au top vivement conseillé,4 étoiles car ça n’a évidemment pas le confort d’un casque de leur marque que je possède également mais pour tout le reste c’est du matériel au top, son même rendu sur le casque nova, peuvent être portés des heures entières, autre avantage, quand il fait plus chaud c’est plus confortable, tiennent très bien dans les oreilles, l’application qui va avec est très bien faite, passer du 2.4 au bluetooth en 3 clic sur les pods… Je recommende vivement, le prix peu paraître un peu cher mais on se rend très vite compte que ça les vaut…. Pc, téléphone, jeux paramétrages et connections très facile…

je les utilise exclusivement sur PC avec le dongle 2,4ghz pour jouer à CS2 et écouter de la musique électro car pour mon smartphone j’utilise des norhing ear (a)pour les comparer avec d’autres écouteurs 2,4ghz j’ai joué pendant un moment avec des razer hammerhead hyperspeed qui me convenaient niveau confort mais même après réglage ils manquaient toujours de basses et les médiums étaient trop prononcés et surtout ils déconnectaient souvent ce qui m’avait fait repasser aux filaires.j’ai testé aussi les sony inzone buds que j’ai renvoyé aussitôt car ils avaient un bruit de souffle insupportable, un peu comme avec les bose qc ultra…concernant les steelseries, c’est excellent, ils sont petits et confortables, le son est très bon et bien détaillé, la scène sonore est grande et comparé à mes écouteurs filaires les simgot supermix 4 je repère aussi bien les adversaires sans avoir l’impression de perte d’infos.son seul défaut est son ANC qui n’est pas performant et entraine un bruit de souffle mais je le désactive car juste son isolation passive suffit largement à masquer les bruits ambients. pour le moment je n’ai subit aucune deconnection pourvu que ça dure ! 😉

Tenía curiosidad por probar unos auriculares in-ear que realmente fueran buenos para jugar, y los SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds X no me han decepcionado. Si buscas algo cómodo, compacto y que además suene genial, aquí tienes una apuesta segura.Lo primero que me sorprendió fue lo bien que se ajustan. Llevan almohadillas de silicona súper cómodas que vienen en 3 tamaños y no molestan ni después de horas jugando. Además, tienen certificación IP55, así que si los usas para algo más que jugar, como salir a correr o viajar, tampoco te preocupes.El audio es lo mejor. Tienen 360° Spatial Audio, así que puedes identificar perfectamente de dónde vienen los sonidos, ya sea en un shooter o en un RPG lleno de detalles. Además, desde la app puedes ajustar el sonido a tu gusto con más de 100 presets diferentes.Tiene doble conectividad:- 2,4 GHz: Ideal para jugar en consola o PC con el dongle USB-C.- Bluetooth 5.3: Perfecto para escuchar música o atender llamadas en el móvil.Cambiar entre dispositivos es súper fácil con un triple toque, algo que valoro mucho porque a veces paso de la consola al móvil en un momento.¿Y la batería? Hasta 10 horas por carga y 40 horas más con el estuche, que además soporta carga inalámbrica. Unos minutos de carga rápida ya tienes varias horas de uso.Un par de “peros”: La cancelación de ruido funciona bien en general, pero no es tan potente como esperaba en ambientes muy ruidosos. Y el estuche de carga… bueno, mejor trátalo con cuidado porque parece algo frágil.En definitiva, son son ideales si quieres algo compacto y funcional para jugar en Xbox o cualquier plataforma. No solo tienen un diseño cómodo, sino que su calidad de audio y conectividad versátil los hacen destacar entre tantos otros. Desde ya, mis in-ear favoritos para jugar.
