Great on the go
I got these to use on my ally or Z13 when working away but have used them for several hours at home on a desktop and I am very surprised how good they sound. Not sure about the mic yet as not tried FPS online with them yet but for single player games they are shockingly good. Battery is decent too

Connection Frustration
I got these to connect with my new Xbox, and it's a battle every time I use them to get them to connect. I have no clue how to get them to connect consistently. I feel just like I'm doing magic and just hoping something will work.

Great dual mode
I bought this 14days ago. They are good, not best. Spacial sound is not so great.

Sound amazing
They sound amazing with the different audio options for hundreds of games and even music. Being able to switch from Console audio to your phone audio quickly sure helps

Great for glasses wearers
Really happy with my purchase. Great sounding and a great fit for my ears. Especially comfortable as I wear glasses and most headphones don’t consider them

Incredible sound
I bought these about a month ago due to the fact I was sick and tired of the over-the-ear gaming headset. So glad that they've come out with earbuds that sound every bit as good as the over-the-ear and also have active noise cancelation. The transparency mode and other modes that they provide are also very nice. It took a little getting used to as far as what side you p...

Great sound. Glasses wearer friendly!
I wear glasses and wanted something that didn't press against my head. This is the clear winner.

Awesome!
I like to play my Xbox from my bed. That makes wearing headsets difficult. Not to mention headsets hurt my head. With these earbuds, it is easier to use voice chat. They are very comfortable. My only complaint is the mic does not always pick up my voice well. Its not the greatest mic. The buds need to be sealed tight so it works the best. But there's nothing else in the...

No input delay
Ideal for gaming because it has no noticeable input delay and there are many features you can enable like spatail audio, which is a great advantage for example in hardcore shooters.

I love the gamebuds.
I love these buds, they are amazing and the sound is the same as my Steelseries Arctis Nova pro headset.
I love them both, i regularly switch between those 2. They are great.

Very Good Ear Buds for gaming and everyday use
I've had the headset for two weeks now and I'm very happy with it. I particularly like the equalizer, which is customized for many games, but there are also dedicated equalizers for movies and music. My only criticism is that it's hard to know exactly how to rotate the buds in your ear to get the perfect sound. But you get the hang of it after using them a few times.

Only the second.
I'm glad that I waited for the purchase. Last set that I owned were bulky. These are not bad for only being the second pair that I bought.

Overall, great product
These are excellent gaming earbuds. The quality is great. The battery life is great. The only reason this is 4 star instead of 5 is two things:
1) sometimes one of the earbuds will randomly disconnect and then reconnect. Doesn't happen too much but sometimes.
2) if i do not place them perfectly into the charging case, sometimes one of the earbuds will not charge and ...

Battle Buds
Mixed emotions about these battle buds. The battery life while wearing both buds is no where close to the 10 hrs, I'd say 5 to 6 tops.
I also didn't like the fact that you can not balance game and chat volume through the headset. To balance these volumes it must be done through my xbox headset settings.

Best Buds
Incredible, the sound quality is excellent, the duration of the batteries is extraordinary, I did not test the microphone because I have no friends, little trick, think about changing the switch on PC if you want to find it on the steelseries program

Good GameBuds but for single player
I was looking for something like this already for quite a while mainly for streaming and since I don't really like to have big headphones on me during stream. There are not so many wireless earbuds for xbox exist on the market for some reason so I decided to try this ones. Price is not that high as for earbuds for earbuds and sound is really good. To be honest didn't ex...
