Customer Reviews
I was looking for a gaming earbud as an alternative for my over the ear headphones. And this one comes up as most reviewed ones on youtube.
I don't have an Xbox but I mainly use it for PC.
Having known that Steelseries was acquired recently by GN Group, parent company of Jabra. It's worth the shot to give this a go.
I did have ASUS Cetra 1st gen it works with it's low latency mode but only relying on a good bluetooth dongle and it's battery life wasn't that great if you have that feature on.
Back to the gamebuds. Got delivered same day.
Unpacked and updated the firmware to the latest. It sounded good from the out of box, but it did better once I was able to load up my custom EQ that I use for my Arctic Nova Pros loaded it up via GG software and saved it to the gamebuds engine preses which the companion app on the phone reads.
Gaming wise it's very good, I can hear footsteps and positioning of gunshots in CS2. And the latency in 2.4ghz mode was not bad , in fact I did not notice anything at all.
Music wise I got to test it while I was roaming around IKEA. ANC/Transparency mode good not best but just enough to block some noise.
The sound for the music is also good, it has punchy bass and clear highs and mid tones.
Over all this is a good earbud. Well worth the money! (PS if you don't use xbox you can get ps version which also comes in white and black!)
!Recommended!
Thankful that the E-commerce page still offers the Xbox version since no stock is available on their physical stores. The same-day delivery is efficient as it did not take one whole day. I ordered at 6:00AM and received it at 1:00PM, and it's even a Sunday. Nice job.
Able to use t on my Xbox series x, ps5, pc, and mobile. Great sound quality with anc. I also love the PC app and mobile app, you can configure the earbuds using those apps.
