SteelSeries Tusq - Mobile In-Ear Gaming Headset - Dual Microphone with Removable Sleeves - Ergonomic Suspended Headphones - for Mobile Devices - Black

The SteelSeries Tusq is an intriguing entry in the realm of gaming earphones, designed with the needs of mobile and console gamers in mind. Its lightweight build and detachable boom microphone set it apart from other in-ear options currently available. Design and Comfort: The Tusq features an over-the-ear hook design that provides stability during extended gaming sessions. The earbuds are lightweight, and the inclusion of different ear tip sizes ensures a snug fit for most users. The build quality feels solid, with a durable cable that resists tangling. Audio Performance: Sound quality is clear and well-balanced, with a strong emphasis on midrange and treble frequencies. This makes it excellent for voice clarity in games and communications. However, bass enthusiasts might find the low-end response slightly lacking. For competitive gaming, the precise audio cues enhance situational awareness.

The additional in-line mic provides flexibility when the boom mic isn’t needed. Compatibility and Portability: The 3.5mm jack ensures broad compatibility with PCs, consoles, and mobile devices. The compact design and included carrying pouch make it highly portable, ideal for gamers on the move. Pros: Lightweight and comfortable for long sessions Clear microphone performance Good audio clarity for gaming Cons: Bass response may not satisfy all users Limited soundstage compared to over-ear headsets Conclusion: The SteelSeries Tusq is a versatile and portable gaming earphone solution, perfect for gamers seeking a lightweight alternative to traditional headsets. While it may not deliver the immersive audio depth of larger headsets, its clarity and convenience make it a solid choice for mobile and casual gaming.

A really excellent in-ear headphone. I use this for work rather than gaming. I've had comments on how professional it looks and how clear the mic is. I will knock a star off as the small bag to store the mic in is not brilliant, one I soon replaced. Plus I would have like the mic boom to connect in a bayonet style rather than push fit, i feel this could easily fall off and get lost. But in terms of mic and sound, its very good and looks professional

This review is for the Tusq Mobile (in ear) models. If you like bass on your headphones, these could be the ones for you! Personally I like faithful reproduction of the source material so I found this rather less than impressive. Rtings have a good review which is worth a look, it details the very bassy profile of these earbuds. One quirk of these is that they actually have two microphones - one built in on the wire, and one as a boom that plugs into the earbuds - what's strange and perhaps unfortunate is that the plug in extra mic gives worse speech quality than the one built into the wire, so unless you are in a fairly loud environment you probably don't want to use the boom mic. Neither mic gives particularly good sound quality, but either are adequate for game comms. The caveat to the sound quality criticism, is that after I set up a proper equalisation on the sound to flatten it out a bit, they actually sound really good, fully worth the price - the bass becomes exceptionally deep but no longer overpowering - but this is quite a faff, and you'll need to do it on every device you are using the headphones with, assuming such an option is even available. Ultimately, I've had these headphones for a while now, and it's very rare that I actually use them. They're quite slow to take on and off - the form factor is only really a benefit in hot weather and we've had quite a cold summer here so that's not really been necessary. Certainly they're more portable than my usual headset, but I usually game on my desktop - if you're going to use them with a switch or steam deck they might make a lot more sense.

Purchased to use on my gaming desktop as I dislike wearing over ear headphones; - The sound quality is very good, but not great (as expected at this price) but is easily good enough for gaming and good quality music audio - They fit around the ear very well, you need to wear them a few times to shape them for a more comfortable feel - The ear buds themselves are slightly awkware, they come in 3 sizes (small being too small, large being too large..) and the mediums are ok but still feel a little big - Mic quality seems good, I've been using with friends on Discord and they didn't notice any real difference compared to my HyperX headphones in terms of mic quality

Have purchased SteelSeries products before. I bought these as I find over-ear headphones sometimes get a bit uncomfortable these would of been perfect for what I need ded them for. Used them once and they stopped working. Left headphone where the microphone plugs into. Used them once with my xbox controller to test them on discord worked perfect at time. Sadly they must be faulty. Sound quality was very good and comfy headphones. However if this is a sign of their durability I will not be purchasing again.

I use these for the PS Portal (Sony live in 1994 and require wired headphones rather than Bluetooth), these are great. If you compare them to top end of the SteelSeries products like the Arctis Headsets, they're not on the same level in sound quality. But value for money they're a solid choice. The removeable microphone is a nice touch too.

I use Arctis 5 as my main headset. But because I use headset for almost all the time and because of the bulkiness I needed a gaming earphone for multitasking. Thought it'd be a major downgrade from my Arctis 5 but surprisingly it's very good. The surround sound is as clear as a gaming headset, the boom mic sounds just fine. Even thought it's a gaming earphone, the bass quality in the music it's very soothing. Although I'd suggest to use an external sound card to give it the efficient power and take the best out of it.

Very good quality! Sound is great!

Returned it, as a Earpods user couldn't bear it.

Excellent , j'avais un peu peur pour le sons mais franchement je joue avec un volume pas très haut et j'entend chaque pas , j'avais un peu peur aussi pour le micro mais il est vraiment au top. J'avais quelques doutes aussi sur le confort mais rien a redire il reste bien en place, ne font pas mal au oreilles !

Açıkça söylemelik isterim ki ürün tarzı sebebiyle ürünü bulmakta maalesef zorlandım. Doğruyu söylemek gerekirse piyasada headset, 3.5jack ve budslar çok sattığından bu ürüne ulaşmakta çok zorlandım ve maalesef alternatif sayısıda çok azdı. Tabi Steelseries yıllardır kullandığım bir marka ve açıkçası son zamanlarda razer'a daha yakın olsamda bu üründe bu markayı görünce karar vermem çok kolay oldu. Satın alma öncesi performans aramalarını saymazsam tabi. Gelelim ürüne; ses kalitesi oldukça iyi gaminge daha uygun bir ses kalitesi sunuyor daha çok hafif sinematik. Yani müzikle kafayı bozduysan bu ürün iyi iş çıkarır net. Ancak bir bose dengesi yok. Amacıma uygun olduğundan ben ses gücü ve dengisne bayıldım diyebilirim. Malzeme kalitesi birinci sınıf. Kulaktan düşer mi diye düşünüyorsan asla. Kablonun alttan değil yukarıdan dönüyüyor olması kulaktaki yükü almış, ağırlığı hissetmiyorsun. Saatlerce kullan kesinlikle ağrı vs yok. Mikrofonu aç/kapa olması harika, fiziksel birşeylde yönetebiliyorsun. Boom Mikrofon kalitesi açıkçası sıradışı. Yani bu boy ve formdaki bir ürün için ben bu kaliteye inanamadım. Stüdyo kalitesi diyemem ama oldukça iyi bir seviye. Daha önce tecrübe etmediğiniz bir seviye bu tip ürünlerde. Noise cancelation üründe yazılımsal olarak gömülmüş ve çok iyi çalışıyor. Ses aç kapa kısmındaki 2. mikrofon boom mikrofonu çıkarıp günlük kullanım ssğlıyor, bayıldım. Abi herşey mükemmel mi diyeceksin birşey hariç ve burdan sitem ediyorum. Ya taş gibi ürün yapmışsın steelseries de neden bu kadar kısa kablo. Yani bu sektör standardı her yerde aynı ve sinir olmamak mükün değil. Ürün gaming olarak tasarlanmışsa adamın masaüstünü bir hayal et be kardeşim. Ayrıca muhtamelen bu adam kasa arkasına takacak bu sefer kablo kısa kalıyor öne taksan anakartın dandirik sesine razı olmak zorunda kalıyorsun. 100 lira daha koy yap şunu 2m adam salsın kabloyu masaya açısın geniş geniş. Yani kulaktaki ağırlığı çözmüş yarım metre kablodan sınıfta kalmış. Gaming ise telefon kablosu gibi düğünmeyeceksin değil mi? Neyse ben teams zoom üzerinden sürekli toplantı yapan ve eğitimlere katılan biriyim. Headsetlerin kafa ve kulağa yaptığı baskıdan bıktım. Saklasan kalas gibi taşısan robot gibi bana hem masaüstü hem laptopta kullanabileceğim pro bir ürün lazımdı. İş için aldım ama genel sound çok iyi müzik film harika. Gaming test etmedim ama eski bir gamer olarak eminim csgo gibi platformlarda müthiş olurdu. Çünkü kalitesi sinematik yani kıytırık buds-pod mod vs değil. Milletin cehaletinden aslında yoksa saatler boyunca kafamda kaç kg ürün taşıma zaten saçma. Dolayısı ile bana göre 5yıldız hakkıdır. Ama sektör standartı acilen 2mye çıkmalı
