How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a complete, immersive gaming headset that also works as an everyday audio companion, choose SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P; if you need a single replacement left earbud to revive a Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro set you already own, choose wusheation Single Left Ear. That is the whole decision in one line. These two products are not really rivals — they solve completely different problems — but if you wear glasses and you are weighing them up, the fit question matters more than the spec sheet suggests.
• SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P — biggest strength: a full multi-platform wireless headset with 2.4GHz plus Bluetooth dual audio, 360° spatial audio and a 38-hour battery. It is a complete audio system, not a spare part.
• SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P — biggest trade-off: it is an over-ear design, so it is bulky, and the weight listed is 721 g, which is a lot to carry around and a real consideration for glasses wearers who need a pressure-free fit.
• wusheation Single Left Ear — biggest strength: it restores a lost or damaged left bud on a Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, matching original size and interface, with ANC, ambient mode and 360° spatial audio support.
• wusheation Single Left Ear — biggest trade-off: it is one earbud, not a pair, and it only makes sense if you already own (or are repairing) a Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. On its own it does nothing.
• Who each pick is for: the Arctis Nova 7P is for someone who wants one headset for PlayStation, PC, Switch and mobile; the wusheation bud is for someone rescuing an existing Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
The Arctis Nova 7P is built around one idea: give you a single headset that handles gaming, calls and commuting without swapping gear. It uses neodymium magnetic drivers and supports 360° spatial audio, including Tempest 3D Audio on PS5 and Microsoft Spatial Sound, so directional cues in games come through as a proper soundstage rather than a flat left-right spread. The dual audio stream feature is the standout for me — you can run 2.4GHz for your console or PC and Bluetooth for your phone at the same time, mixing a call or music into your game audio.
Battery life is a genuine strength: 38 hours per charge, and a 15-minute USB-C fast charge gets you about 6 hours of play. The build uses a metal and plastic enclosure with an adjustable steel headband and AirWeave memory foam cushions, and it ships in black.
Who should buy it: anyone who wants one wireless headset across PlayStation, PC, Switch and mobile, and who values long battery life and simultaneous audio streams.
Who should skip it: if you want something pocketable, or you need an in-ear fit for all-day wear, this is not that product. The listed 721 g weight and over-ear design mean it is a sit-down or short-trip headset, not something you forget you are wearing. For glasses wearers, over-ear cushions are usually the friendlier choice because they sit around the ear rather than pressing on it — but the weight is the trade-off to weigh up.
wusheation Single Left Ear: Who It's For
This one is refreshingly simple to explain. It is a single left-ear replacement bud made specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI. It is designed to match the original size and interface, so it seats in the original charging case, auto-syncs device info, and pairs with the existing right earbud. If your left bud went missing or stopped working, this is the part that brings the set back to full function.
Feature-wise it aims to match the original rather than undercut it. It uses the same class of high-definition speaker unit and AI chip, and it supports 360° spatial audio, ANC noise cancellation and ambient sound mode. Sound is described as rich bass with clear mids and highs, and call noise reduction is handled by the same AI processing. Pairing runs through the Galaxy Wearable app, which auto-syncs volume and noise-cancellation settings, so you are not manually reconfiguring anything.
The physical build is silicone ear tips with a high-strength shell, IPX7 sweat and water resistance, and a silver finish. Battery is 5 hours on a single charge, or 20 hours total with the charging case, and the bud activates after about 10 minutes in the original case. Magnetic fixation and charging behaviour in the case are unaffected, which is the detail that matters most — a replacement that does not charge properly is useless.
Who should buy it: someone who already owns Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and has lost or broken the left earbud. It is the economical path versus replacing the whole set.
Who should skip it: anyone who does not own Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. It is a component, not a standalone product, and the app-based controls and ANC only make sense inside that ecosystem. Also note it is one bud — if both are gone, one unit will not fix that.
• Best for gaming and spatial audio → SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P, with 360° spatial audio and Tempest 3D / Microsoft Spatial Sound support.
• Best for battery life → SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P, at 38 hours with a 15-minute fast charge giving roughly 6 hours.
• Best for multi-device audio mixing → SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P, thanks to simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth streams.
• Best for repairing an existing pair → wusheation Single Left Ear, which restores a lost left bud on Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
• Best for a compact, in-ear fit → wusheation Single Left Ear, a silicone-tipped in-ear bud rated IPX7 for sweat and water.
• Best for app-controlled noise cancellation → wusheation Single Left Ear, with ANC and ambient mode managed through the Galaxy Wearable app.
• Best if you wear glasses and want all-day comfort → I lean toward the Arctis Nova 7P, because the over-ear AirWeave memory foam cushions avoid pressing on the arms of your glasses, which is the usual pain point for in-ear headphones for glasses wearers.
• Best if you want one purchase that does everything → SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P; the wusheation bud only helps if you already have the matching set.
In my opinion, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P is the one I would buy, and it is not close — because it is a complete product rather than a spare part. If you are shopping for glasses wearers, this is the pick I recommend: the over-ear AirWeave memory foam cushions sit around the ear instead of pressing on the temple arms, which is exactly the problem that makes so many best lightweight earphones for glasses wearers disappointing. The wusheation Single Left Ear is an excellent, sensible fix — but only if you already own Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Buy the Arctis Nova 7P unless your actual problem is one missing earbud.
FAQ
In my opinion yes, for a specific reason: it is an over-ear headset with AirWeave memory foam cushions, so the pads rest around your ear rather than pressing on the arms of your glasses. That makes it a friendlier option than most in-ear headphones for glasses wearers.
No. It is a replacement left bud designed for the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. It needs the original charging case and the existing right earbud to pair and function, so it only makes sense if you already own that set.
No. The listed connectivity is USB and Bluetooth only, with a portable USB-C dongle plus a USB-C to USB-A cable included. There is no 3.5mm jack, so plan for wireless-only use across PS5, PC, Switch and mobile.
Ask what you are actually missing. If you need a full wireless headset for gaming and calls, go with the Arctis Nova 7P. If you just lost one earbud from a Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, the wusheation replacement is the cheaper, simpler fix — check the current price on Amazon before deciding.
