Awesome sounds
Picked these up after trying a load of cheaper alternatives including in ear monitors. All the others were vastly inferior to these buds. Easy to connect on the series x. Having 2.4 for the Xbox is a blessing. The app is great, with hundreds of eq settings for games built in. The Bluetooth works great for calls but I cannot comment on the music quality as I only use them for gaming. I use BETWEEN ANC buds for music which are magnificent.There are a couple of things to bear in mind. To update the buds you need a pc and if you receive a call when gaming, the gaming audio cuts of while the Bluetooth call takes place. By no means a deal breaker but the option for dual audio would have been nice along with the ability to update through the app.I can’t recommend these high enough.

Great sound
These have really upped my game. Playing warzone has gotten so much better I can hear footsteps as clear as day and love the presets for different games/movies and music. The only drawback is that updates need to be done via a pc. I would have thought that something for a next gen console could be updated via the console. Unfortunately for me my laptop is on 32 bit and you need a 64 bit system for the updates. This is the only reason I’ve marked it down by one star. I have a controller and my old headphones than can both be updated via my console. So the fact that such a pricey item can’t be updated easily has meant losing a star!!

Not sure how these are so highly rated. Sidetone/mic-monitoring is terrible.
# Frame of ReferenceIâve been using AirPods Pro 2, so maybe my expectations were too high.# Use CaseUsing these for online gaming and chat on an Xbox Series S/X.# Expectations1. Easy and straightforward setup.2. Excellent sound quality, especially for 3D audio.3. Good transparency mode and mic monitoring (sidetone).# Reality1. Complicated Setup: ⢠Requires an iPhone app for initial setup. ⢠Firmware updates need a separate laptop app.2. Connection Issues: ⢠Doesnât automatically connect to the Xbox, even in â2.4GHz mode.â ⢠You have to mess around in the iPhone app to get it working.3. Mic Monitoring (Sidetone): ⢠Practically useless. ⢠My voice sounded muffled and hard to hear when chatting online. ⢠This might not bother everyone, but for me, it was a deal-breaker.4. Audio Issues: ⢠Constant hiss in the right ear.5. Sound Quality: ⢠Decent sound, but thatâs about the only positive.# ConclusionReturned them because they werenât worth the price (they cost more than my second-hand Xbox Series S!).

Underwhelming.
Everything about this product is very nice from the case, the shape of the buds, the app, controls, everything is great.Only reason for the low stars in the volume just isnât loud enough to be immersive. Sounds great on PC but soon as you plug into console, the volume drops significantly on both Xbox and PS.

Ok
Sound is good, wish you could use dual inputs instead of one at a time, I still use my nova headset when gaming anyways, Steelseries audio is nice, connection is ok as usb and Bluetooth so pretty reliable, obviously these will fit everyone different so first thing you should do is turn off ear detection in the app, or else it’ll randomly be stopping and starting music, that’s the only flaw I could find other than the case size, doesn’t fit in most pockets, the dual connectivity is something they could add in the app but just a missed opportunity

Love these and wonât go back to my over-ears as they are far more comfortable, portable and convenient. Sound is great. ANC works but is not like AirPods Proâs, but still valuable. Love them

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 ! 😉
