Tusq - In-Ear Mobile Gaming Headset – Dual Microphone With Detachable Boom Mic – Ergonomic Suspension Design Earphones – For Mobile

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. Microphone Quality: The detachable boom microphone offers impressive clarity for an in-ear headset. Background noise reduction is effective, making it suitable for noisy environments. 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.

Pros: Best mic (detachable boom mic) for a wired earbuds, comparable to good quality headphones. The in-line mic is of standard quality, a little worse than the wired apple earbuds. Sound quality is decent, similar to the wired apple earbuds. With very short delay as this was designed with gaming in mind. Cons: The over ear hook doesn't feel comfortable on me, perhaps due to my small ears. It is not pillable enough to fit snugly. It also interferes with my glasses' legs. It is less protable than regular earbuds as the semi-rigid hook takes up more space. Others have complained the boom mic is loose but I haven't noticed such problem yet.

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

Bought this for a Lenovo Legion Go S. Out of the box it sounds VERY tinny. Like a mobile phone speaker. I had to install an EQ mod and change settings around to make it sound better. Which it now sounds reasonably good but still not a substitute for a proper Headset. The microphone is serviceable. Tried a discord call and got no complaints but also no compliments. It's just alright. It's really only useful for people who play multiplayer games while travelling and want something more portable than over ear headsets AND have the access to an EQ. If you cant modify the sound. Don't buy these. Out of the box they sound really bad. I am keeping them only for the reason that I won't be using them often. If you are intending to use these all the time. Would definitely get something else.

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.

If you don't like big, hot, heavy headsets, the Steelseries Tusq is the way to go. Lightweight, decent sound and a boom mic that picks up your voice clearly so you don't have to hook the wire over your ear to bring the in-line mic closer to your mouth. The earhook design keeps the earbuds in and means the extra weight of the boom mic doesn't pull the earbud out of your ear. I use mine daily, no complaints

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

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 !

Recensisco dopo quasi due anni di utilizzo intenso. Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo. Mai un problema, abbastanza comode anche se sono in-ear, il microfono è estraibile e può essere utilizzato all'occasione, la qualità è buona, magari al massimo si possono perdere le due plastiche argentate della steelseries perché sono incollate, come successo a me. Microfono non da top di gamma ma svolge il suo dovere molto bene, non ha ovviamente le funzionalità dei microfoni di alto livello come l'isolamento della voce. L'auricolare di sinistra può risultare un po' scomodo da mettere ma è solo per le prime volte. Il cavo, dopo tutto lo stress sopportato, è integro e non presenta alcun "fruscio" dettato da lesioni interne. Assolutamente soddisfatto, consiglio.
