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!

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.

Frustrating constant connectivity issues
Writing my review after over 6 months of ownership. I really want to like these, they're very comfortable and well built, they feel like high quality, and the sound quality is well above average. The ANC is pretty mid and make a weird whistling sound while on. Transparency mode is good and works as intended. Unfortunatly I may have gotten a bad pair. in my experience it's been constant connectivity issues from the very start. When I go to use them with my Xbox, I'll take them out of the case, put them in my ears, Xbox will say "headset assigned" but I will have no audio or microphone functionality. I'll put them back in the case and repeat this a few times but most of the time I'll get maybe one side working or nothing at all. The only way I've found to sometimes fix this is to unplug the dongle and plug it back in. You also have to make sure your phones Bluetooth is off otherwise it won't output any audio even when I double check and verify it's on 2.4 mode. After all that and I finally get audio it's a Gamble on if the microphone will work. Most of the time if I have audio the mic works but recently I've been encountering an issue where the mic just flat out stops working even when I have sound. But if you get lucky and have both audio and the mic working sometimes one side will just randomly cut out and be completely unresponsive even if you put it back in the case and take it back out. Other times they'll just randomly turn off and turn back on when they feel like it and then you'll run into not having audio or a mic anymore and have to troubleshoot and restart the whole process all over again. This is just so disappointing because they could be perfect, they have a great form factor, they very comfortable and have great sound when it works. I've been waiting so long for someone to come out with a set of wireless earbuds for Xbox and these couldve been so great for that. Unfortunately bad software has caused them to be in my experience a poor and frustrating user experience.
