it has everything i wanted
2.4ghz dongle for gaming & other lower latency purposes on my laptop setup, bluetooth for everyday use with my phone or ipad.iâve been thinking of getting soundcoreâs vr p10âs until i found out about this online. one of the best in the market so far for my niche needs.sounds way better than what i have now, which are my koss ksc75âs. i know the comparison between the two are too distinct and thus incomparable (as the ksc75âs lack in bass) but i also like that i donât have to worry about my wires being in the way of my arms anymore while on my keyboard & mouse. i also like its potential, cus u could customize the eqâs through the companyâs software on pc or through their app on ios (im sure android has it too, 100%) and i doubt the majority of the <3 star reviews havenât known about this.10hrs battery uptime and 30hrs in case (as it claims). i doubt iâd be on my laptop for that long for the battery to fully deplete. and iâd be wanting to take a breather from earbuds after (as i always do with heavy headphones & earbud use), so less the worry of instantly connecting my earbuds to my iphone or anything like that (iâd be letting it charge afterwards)

Good but not perfect
Ok so these buds are nice. They fit well in my ears and feel comfortable. Sound quality is ok. The ANC isnât the best. I can hear some background noise when itâs silent.The dongle works very well. No lag at all. Iâve used the dongle on an Xbox series S and have no issues when it come to gameplay and chat.I also tried to connect to a Nintendo Switch. No issues when it come to gameplay but there is no chat available.Iâve been using the soundcore vrp10 and while playing Fortnite I am able to chat with team no issues.The same goes for the PrismXR earbuds. No issues.Very disappointed that these Gamebuds by a very well known headset maker wouldnât have a way to get this issues resolved.Software, steelseries. Gg, is easy to use on both PC and mobile.

Incredible Sound, User Interface, and Battery
This is for potential buyers, as I’m sure this company doesn’t need my review, but these headphones are incredible. I did a bit of research looking for some 3D audio gaming buds while using my Legion Go, and I’m beyond thrilled I got these. Not sure where to begin. So many great features between the ANC and transparency modes, these can cancel out some real noise. I work in a noisy environment and had no problem hearing everything going on in Call of Duty. Usually footsteps would be muffled and drowned out by the noise but the ANC is next level. The quick tap features allow for switching between ANC/ Transparency modes or Bluetooth and the 2.4hz connector flawlessly. I can go from gaming and waiting in a lobby to watching something on my phone to pass time without a hitch. The battery is also insane. I played for a solid hour with ANC on and the battery only got to 88%! I’m tempted to use these for my console gaming, they’re that good. I haven’t even scratched the surface of the app features. I would highly recommend these for gaming and everything in general. The charging case is very minimal and ease to pocket. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

Great Value
I am not going to come on here and say they are best because I am sure they are not. Personally the weakest point is the ANC compared to my AirPod pros. The ANC is go and does cut the majority of the outside noise out but not completely. I have been driving these things daily for a week and will say they are very comfortable and fit well in my ear. Another issue I have is the auto ear detect. It Iâll flicker and pause my show while it is still sitting firmly in my ear. This only occurs with my right ear so I would assume itâs something to do with the shape of my right ear to my left. The ability to do 2.4ghz is very nice and not very many ear buds allow this to occur so I very much appreciate the feature. Being able to toggle with 3 clicks is also very nice, which brings me to my next point the actual tactile button press is nice. As I stated prior I had AirPod pros and never really figured out how to properly use them due to the lack of an actual button. When it comes to the mobile app it is like sonar on the PC it seems to have the same features and allows you to set sound profiles. I personally like my Arctis 9 better for gaming at the moment but I havenât really given them a fair shake down yet due to the poor quality of BO6 and their terrible audio. To summarize my thoughts they arenât the best however they arenât terrible by any means. The quality is there along with the feature set which all together makes a great bargain. I am sure with future firmware updates they can tweak the overall issues I have with them. If you are a fan of SteelSeries I am sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Also with experience with their customer support they are phenomenal and very easy to work with. Ultimately I canât tell you to buy them but I would recommend them for sure.

Solid
Comfortable in ear, sound quality is great. Lacking a bit in functionality, connectivity, and tuning. The app gives the ability for sound presets for most games, but doesnât allow for full customization and tuning. Charge time is very quick. Overall a solid product depending on your preferences

So convenient to have the same earbuds for my phone, my Xbox, my PS5, my Switch, my Steam Deck and my PC.Highly recommended!

Precio: muy caro para la calidad del producto, se siente muy muy platico, la tapa da la sensación de que se va a romper en cuanto lo abras muy fuerte… me recuerda a los auriculares chinos que cuestan 30 euros.Por otro lado, por lo visto tiene problema con el aislamiento del ruido, en cuanto lo activas se escucha una distorsión de viento, he buscado en foros y muchos se quejan de este problema, no lo recomiendo… si quieres ser beta tester aqui lo tienes.Lo que creo que cuesta los 100 euros adicionales es tener el 2.4, y no va del todo fino ya que en cuanto lo conectas con otros dispositivos 2.4 hay distorsión y ruido.

Endlich kabellose Earpods mit der Qualität von Over-Ears! Ich habe seit Jahren Over-Ears von SteelSeries, darum war ich bereits hohe Qualität gewohnt. Ich war sehr skeptisch, was die kleinen GameBuds können. Ich verwende sie übrigens auf PC, der Sensor muss mit dem USB Verlängerungskabel verbunden werden. Die Verbindnug ist stabil, die Akku-Laufzeit solide, die Tonqualität super und auch das Noise-Cancelling kann mit anderen Premium-Marken mithalten.Lediglich die App…. puh… ich hab mich nicht länger damit befasst weil ichs nicht gecheckt hab. Für meine Zwecke brauche ich sie aber nicht.
