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 ! 😉

I was really impressed with these earbuds; they work well overall.
*Audio Quality*: The Bluetooth audio quality is great, and I didn’t experience any issues. I watched streams and YouTube videos, including some gaming content, and the audio was impressive—especially with Dolby Atmos. I read an article that claimed SBC could actually outperform AAC in terms of lower latency and better battery life, so I think these buds are better & suited for Android users.
*Wireless 2.4 GHz Audio*: At first, the 2.4 GHz wireless connection felt a bit strange, but with Dolby Atmos enabled, the difference was immediately noticeable. I was impressed by how well the earbuds handled ambient sounds, allowing me to hear all the intricate details in the game.
I also tried SteelSeries’ 3D audio on my laptop, and it was amazing.
I tried to disable Dolby atmos, and enabled the Equalizer on steelseries app. You will notice difference.
*Volume Concerns*: Initially, I was worried about the low volume, especially for some games that require higher audio levels. Unfortunately, the 2.4 GHz wireless connection has lower volume than the Bluetooth connection. To fix this, I switched to the “Movie sound mode setting” in Dolby Atmos. You can also customize Dolby Atmos by enabling the “Volume Leveler” and “Surround Virtualizer,” which makes a significant difference.
(Note: If you’re using SteelSeries’ app for choosing specific sound equalizer, I recommend leaving the “Dolby Atmos Equalizer” untouched ( for a custom sound ) and just enable “Volume Leveler” for better experience. Also turn off the audio limiter on steelseries application for more volume.)
*Noise Cancellation (ANC)*: The ANC isn’t perfect, but it does a good job of reducing background noise in most environments.
*Transparency Mode*: The transparency mode is excellent, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings when needed. Note : there’s a little noisy buzzing sound when the transparency mode enabled, I switched off every sound mode to get rid of the issue.
*Microphone*: I don’t have much to say about the microphone, but it does the job well enough for calls or in-game communication.
*Comfort*: The earbuds are comfortable, but after long gaming sessions, you might start to feel them in your ears.
*Battery Life*: The battery can handle about 8-9 hours of gaming without all features enabled. With Bluetooth, I think it lasts closer to 9 hours. I haven’t noticed any major issues because I always take breaks, so the battery life has been more than sufficient for me.
One thing that bothered me slightly is that sometimes one of the earbuds shows a slight difference in battery life (around 2-3%) compared to the other, which is a little annoying.
*Conclusion*: These earbuds are great for daily use and perfect for those who mainly play single-player campaigns (though they’re still good for multiplayer). I chose these earbuds because I’m not a fan of bulky headsets, and I wanted something I could use anytime, anywhere. Big thanks to SteelSeries for delivering on this.

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…

Terrible in my experience anyway. Worked great for 2 weeks, sound got distorted then. Bought a €5 pair off temu and used them ever since. Trying these again. Take the temu pair over these any day.

Ürünü satın aldıktan bir ay sonra sağ kulaktan çok ses gelmeye başladı, ayrıca ANC moda alınca sağ kulak cızırtı çıkarıyordu
