Loved your review. On your con of Xbox not getting data sometimes from the headphones and having to reset. I’m not sure if this is an Xbox series x issue or head/set/phone issue but it has happened on my Xbox headset and my hyper x xbox headset as well. Also, is there a way to manage chat 💬 audio vs game audio?
Can I use Xbox version connect Ps5 and XSX? Because I see the introduction page said the ps version model of this ear bud can't connect XSX, But the xbox version said it can support ps5 and xsx both. That make me feel so confused. So anyone have used this ear bud, can talk about whether Xbox VERSION could connect PS5 and XSX or not.
Any ideas how well they stay in your ears? My ears tend to push out normal earbuds and I typically resort to earbuds like beats because of the wingtips.
I got a set the other day. Sound quality is excellent and position of people works as good as my Nova wireless pros. The mic however was total garbage when testing with a friend who also has a set. Crackling and cutting out.
Have mine for 2 weeks so far. Besides some weird static sounds occasionally they really hit the home run for these. First xbox earbuds and i paid $134 w/tax and free s/h after using some personal credit card rewards and promos that came along with that. Definitely recommend it as my friends say its great since i can call out enemies in a room or two over when they couldnt while I spectate them.
Thanks for the full review - i have them and they are GREAT! but i'm encountering an issue with mic on PS5 and BO6 - do you have any tips on that? my friends almost don't hear me
0:10 These are not, the “first” Xbox wireless earbuds. Razer has been making Xbox wireless earbuds for years now. Regardless, I still would like to know how these stack up against Razer’s Xbox Hammerhead HyperSpeed earbuds though.
I've recently had the XBOX version of Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed earbuds, and despite the amazing sound quality, the battery life/length is pretty weak, and they're a challenge to remove from the case. Also, the wireless dongle isn't given a storage space, in the case, unlike these earbuds. Just those few cons far outweighed the pros, for me. With that, I returned them for a full refund, and purchased these. As I've just received them, today, I'll reserve my judgement on the battery life until I've been able to really use them.
I had the same issue with my nova pro wireless and when I found out I was sick. Thankfully I had Best Buy total tech and was able to exchange them. But I’m on the look out for those details for sure
I haven’t tried that particular model, but they're comparable in audio quality to any $100-$120 headset I've tried. It really comes down to earbuds vs over ears, that can change the sound pretty drastically depending on what you prefer.
@@JampackSamugh, I really would like to find a good pair of earbuds for Xbox, but there doesn’t seem to be any. Dent in the head it is I guess. Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it!
@garry7901 i have that off , the problem is in ps5 in xbox , pc and bluetooth is extreme loud with custom EQ in ps5 is the issue and the anc distortion everywhwre
How do they feel after extended sessions? I have used some less expensive JLab in-ear buds for work, but notice after time they will gradually wiggle out or an ear will get sore. Appreciate the video!
Thanks for the comment! I’ve never been super sensitive to in-ears with extended use. I’ve used them for 4-5 hours at a time, and sometimes all but forget even wearing them. They’ve also got three different earbud tip sizes, so there should be a good fit for everyone. 👌
I have to agree got them the week they came out they’re already my new fav headset ever it’s so convenient to have a normal earbud headset and switch over to Xbox in an instant and my personal opinion they are so close to my Arctis 7x over the ears that I sold them and not looking back also the mic is better than expected my bus can hear me no problem
I have the Sony inzone earbuds for PS5 they are perfect the autonomy is tremendous, the sound loud and clear I don't need to push the sound on the top before I had the razer hammerhead they is no competition. The inzone is made for the PS5 for sure , I will try the Asus cetra supernova and the steel series and make the final decision for the PS5
Great question! I should have included that here, but made a separate Short for you (and anyone else looking for a quick answer.) Not great mic quality, but it gets the job done. ua-cam.com/users/shorts5aURI-TDNu4
Got these a week ago for ps5, hard to get a good volume out of them, eq settings result in serious popping and cracking. The mic is absolute garbage. They cost 160 and sound like a 40 set with a worse mic, the mic is as bad as anything I've tried. Sound quality 6/10 Mic 0/10 Batrery life 2/10(about 2 hours) Fit 10/10 Not worth it, another terrible product left in my drawer.
Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience. No issues from volume on my side, in fact I have to turn them down every time I use them. I wonder if the PS5 buds are different than the Xbox model, because the battery life on mine lasts for about a week. Mic definitely leaves a lot to be desired, though.
@JampackSam volume is fine using a different device, on the PS5 you have to max out every setting on the system and the buds but even then it's at a low/avarage volume, not good enough for FPS.

Xbox needs thespecial mode because of the security around usb devices, it’s not a matter of audio tech.
Love the casual drop of early early morning game session lol
My gaming habits have gotten weirder as I've gotten older lol

Yes, the xbox version works on all consoles as well as pc

can i used it like a daily buds for work, running and other outside activities?
Razer also has a pair for xbox can you do those
Hey bro do you have any problem when you connect to the ANC in the highest volume? When I did that a big disturbing sound appears, is normal?
Thanks for the full review - i have them and they are GREAT! but i'm encountering an issue with mic on PS5 and BO6 - do you have any tips on that? my friends almost don't hear me
turn up mic in the app
dont have volumen problem?
The mic is garbage.
Ima buy these to play but I prefer my AirPod pros for daily but not for gaming

Are these compatible with xbox series s?
Does the Bluetooth constantly drop like the arctis pro wireless?
There is no xbox button on the thing can you tell me how to connect it to my xbox
You have a playstation version then.
Yup the Xbox version works for both consoles. PlayStation version is just for ps5 pc
I had the same issue with my nova pro wireless and when I found out I was sick. Thankfully I had Best Buy total tech and was able to exchange them. But I’m on the look out for those details for sure
Hello i dont own a ps or xbox i have a pc and a TV . Does it matter what Version i use ? ps or xbox ?
It works on pc. No matter what you use them on, they SUCK!
Xbox version. Mine are sound and played last night with my mate for a few hours last night, no mic issues.
I use the Steelseres 9x this headset would be compatible?, in quality etc..
I haven’t tried that particular model, but they're comparable in audio quality to any $100-$120 headset I've tried. It really comes down to earbuds vs over ears, that can change the sound pretty drastically depending on what you prefer.
Can these buds be used one bud at a time / mono mode?
Its a really good question, im courious too
How’s the mic? They look like another pair I had, and the mic was terrible
Dropped a mic comparison in the comments. Not great, basically a pair of Bluetooth earbuds. There's lots of room for improvement there.
@@JampackSamugh, I really would like to find a good pair of earbuds for Xbox, but there doesn’t seem to be any. Dent in the head it is I guess. Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it!
Whats the range
Never seen a bluetooth earbuds well thought specially for gaming... kudos Steelseries!
Do they have that nonstop annoying steelseries low battery beep?
Haven’t run into that myself, but I usually charge before I’d get any low battery warning.
have 2 issues , anc distortion and ps5 low volumen have that issues too?
turn off volume limiter its on by default

These vs inzone
Adding it to the list. 🧐
🙏
I second this!
I have the Sony inzone earbuds for PS5 they are perfect the autonomy is tremendous, the sound loud and clear I don't need to push the sound on the top before I had the razer hammerhead they is no competition. The inzone is made for the PS5 for sure , I will try the Asus cetra supernova and the steel series and make the final decision for the PS5
What about the microphone? Is it good or does it sound bad? Im decidint on bying those or the hammerhead @@kevink3874
Tbh I play siege with them and I can’t hear anything all I can hear is myself and gun shots that’s it
Whats the microphone like ?
Great question! I should have included that here, but made a separate Short for you (and anyone else looking for a quick answer.)
Not great mic quality, but it gets the job done. ua-cam.com/users/shorts5aURI-TDNu4
Top man@@JampackSam
Does it come with the usb c dongle so you can hook it up to the xbox right away or do you have buy that separately?
Tried them. But they hurt my ears sadly.
Got these a week ago for ps5, hard to get a good volume out of them, eq settings result in serious popping and cracking.
The mic is absolute garbage.
They cost 160 and sound like a 40 set with a worse mic, the mic is as bad as anything I've tried.
Sound quality 6/10
Mic 0/10
Batrery life 2/10(about 2 hours)
Fit 10/10
Not worth it, another terrible product left in my drawer.

These are garbage. Just returned. The volume is way too low on Xbox. Even with Dolby atmos added. Doesn’t compare to some cheaper iems
bro turn of the disabler limit and make a custom EQ they are extreme high volumen in xbox , in ps5 is another history
It's a Jabra Elite 5 with SteelSeries logo and dongle
Very dumb as this is not that product
Yes there are others similar.
