Gaming without the bulk
If you're looking for comfortable earbuds with good sound quality and great connectivity, this has been a game-changer in my particular use case. For streaming I wear a hat so over the ear headphones are a no-go, so I picked these up as a replacement for another brand that was dying on me. The connectivity and sound quality are top notch. The buttons on the earbuds themselves took some getting used to, but it definitely beats the touch sensors in other offerings when you want a tactile 'tell' for using features. Battery life and charging have both been superb, and they really ARE comfortable. Having different ANC modes helps when you're gaming but still want other people to be able to communicate with you. The microphone quality is very good, certainly good enough for gaming use. The compact form factor and unobtrusive dongle are major pluses as well. All in all definitely worth the purchase!

Okay, but I own better
These ain't it.. Compared to the Asus Cetra SpeedNova, no contest. The only thing the Gamebuds have going for them is the game profiles and a slight comfort level. Sound is what matters. The Gamebuds sound laughably low compared to the SpeedNova. The ANC also isn't up to par. I would rank the Gamebuds third in terms of gaming earbuds.... 1- Asus Speednova, 2- Sony Explore, 3- SS Gamebuds. I need my game buds to be loud and punchy. I'm just not getting that with the Gamebuds. The Gamebuds have a slightly more controlled/refined sound, but also sound whisper quiet in comparison to the competition. I need my music to over power my TV in the background with/without ANC, these don't do that. If I'm listening to Rock at volume. I shouldn't be able to hear a casual YT video of a product review playing on my TV/laptop. If you value your hearing. I guess it's not much of a concern :) The dongle and 2.4ghz tech is just okay.. Depending on your environment you'll get that SS metallic/robotic interference noise from the 2.4ghz connection. In dual mode, the phone takes over and cuts out sound way too often.. Dual mode needs a lot of work, and will cause complete disconnects (yes my firmware is up to date) probably a good idea to disconnect BT after setting sound profiles. I would recommend these overall. I think they're comfortable; but ear tips could be better. I don't think they're quality. I think third party ear-tips would provide better noise isolation. The sound is good, but if you're looking for loud and punchy, look elsewhere. Good battery life from the case and buds. Nice first attempt by SS.

My Arctis GameBuds X Review After months of use
The Arctis GameBuds X are true wireless gaming earbuds with clear sound, active noise canceling, and long battery life (about 10 hours per charge, 40 hours with the case). They’re lightweight, comfortable, and can switch between 2.4GHz wireless for gaming and Bluetooth for phones. The best part is the Xbox version: its dongle has a switch that lets it work on Xbox, PC, and PS5. The PlayStation version only works on PS5/PS4/PC, not Xbox. Pros: Good sound, long battery, ANC, easy switching, Xbox version works on all systems. Cons: ANC and mic are just okay, can’t mix Bluetooth and dongle audio at the same time. Verdict: A great choice for gamers who want one pair of earbuds for console and PC—especially if you get the Xbox version.
