Everything works so well they are so comfortable battery life is long and the sound is so clear like water

Amazing sound, great battery life, and comfortable. Connecting the bluetooth to your phone before you can connect to your Playstation 5 is annoying.

Took a little troubleshooting to get everything working with the PC, but headphones are pretty comfortable and seem to do a good job with all the many different EQ options that are available in the app. They have active noise cancellation, but even without the ANC on they block most of the ambient noise around you. They also have a transparency mode if you need to be aware of what's happening around you which is pretty neat. Quality headphones so far.

These things are awesome! A great fit in the ear, and comfortable for long wear. The sound quality is unmatched for an earbud, both directionally and treble/base performance. Battery life is fair to below average, but is to be expected given they are ear buds, and the case has plenty of extra juice. Very happy with these!

They are amazing! It does the job i can use it for my pc and xbox. And i can take calls so quick when its linked to my phone. Battery life is great, sound quality is beautiful. With plenty of settings for differnent volume presets. Also has very great comfort with different ear pieces!

I was looking for a pair of gaming earbuds being that I wear glasses and during long sessions, I headset pushes my glasses against the side of my head purchase these easy to connect fits in your ear comfortably, but not very loud at all my headset I had my PC sound set at 40 with these. I had it at 80 and still wasn't as loud as my headset. I understand it's Bluetooth or wireless 2.4 with a dongle but for $200 I expected it to be louder. It did set up to my iPhone really easy and is a little bit louder. That way the microphone is really good. Voice comes out very clear so there is a lot of positive things to it, but in my opinion, not worth 200 there are cheaper models you're just paying for the name.

I am a steelseries stan. I have converted 5 people to their products already. All over the ear headphones. I got these as soon as i could. The quality is great. The bass is there. Million of presets for games in the app. I have found the dongle doesnt work with my work chromebook though, which is sad because i need it to work there so i can bluetooth to my phone still. The dongle works with my home comouter just fine. My friends are all about to get a pair of these as well. Oh and the other thing i dont like is you have to use the computer to create presets THEN move them over from the computer to your phone. Thats too much work. I should be able to create EQ mixes from my phone as well.

These earbuds are amazing! The ANC is superior to even my Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and they're comfortable even for longer sessions. I also love the ability to plug in the 2.4Ghz dongle in literally anywhere for easy device switching without having to pair and re-pair bluetooth, The dongle works with my iphone, TCL (via included adapter), laptop, android tablet, to name a few. With little to no latency via the dongle, these are a must buy for more than just gaming!

Very comfortable, great for sound detection, great battery life, but the built in microphone is basically useless. Even with my microphone turned all the way up in-game or in discord, my friends are barely able to hear me.

SteelSeries is premium. These hold a charge longer then … well longer than I would expect. They’re great. Many software presets available to make tuning these easy but if you can set the EQ just right, to your own sound preference, you won’t be disappointed. Great bass, mids, even with the ANC (active noise canceling off) are impressive. I’ll be using these while on my PC but if I need to step away or take my dog for a walk I can just use the app and switch to Bluetooth and these easily convert from my gaming headset to exercise or general-use pods. They work great.

I have not done a lot of tech reviews so just want to say that up front. I am a fan of SteelSeries and their products and wanted a set of wireless buds so decided to finally get the Gamer Buds. First thing I will say: update the firmware. It was a night and day difference on sound. I have not had the issue with fit that seems to be a common complaint so I on the regular use them for 5-6 hours at a time for gaming. Sound is great and has that sour round feel. Options in the Arctis app for changing presets have been very helpful for finding the best sound for different types of games. I have especially liked them for Marvel Rivals and Monster Hunter. I would say the biggest negative is for changing the sound level itself you have to hold down the bud and and wait, which can be frustrating if you don’t do it correctly and turn off noise cancelling or such. The app allows you to change it directly but sometimes annoying to have to open the app to do this

I wanted to enjoy these more. They really do sound great, nice n deep. Love the variety of sound profiles in the app. Am told the microphone is nice and clear. But I really tried to get past the fact it does not have simultaneous 2.4ghz connection to my Xbox and bluetooth with my phone/tablet. I do tend to find myself gaming solo more than with friends, so I listen to music or youtube/media while I play. I'vr noticed I've been wearing my dual-connect headset more and these just sit there in the case. So unfortunately these just aren't my jam.

Sound is great, and the connectivity between devices is amazing and the battery life is UNREAL

These SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are a great option for gamers who want wireless freedom without sacrificing performance. What really sets this version apart is the native Xbox compatibility—it’s super convenient to switch between Xbox and other devices using the toggle on the dongle. The audio is crisp with decent bass, and the noise cancellation helps keep the focus on gameplay. They fit well and are comfortable even during longer gaming sessions. I also like the case—it’s compact and cleverly designed to store the dongle, which makes it great for travel. One small downside is that the mic quality is just average, especially compared to full-size headsets. But if you're prioritizing portability and multi-platform support, this set delivers where it matters most.

We bought the SteelSeries-Arctis gaming earbuds for Xbox, we had no problem pairing them with the Xbox, noise canceling is great, audio in game play is awesome, fits comfortably in the ears, nice to wear these instead of wearing the headset all the time, would recommend purchasing

Ok lets be real here, i was a 15 minutes to take they back to best buy because the anc is broken and the volumen is low , i go to sonar edit the presets , disabled volumen limit and they now sound extreme loud and clear but in Xbox, pc and the phone , the ps5 have a great volumen problem.. In PS5 the volumen is to low that i cant hear nothing around me but this is a software problem im waiting to steelserie to fix this soon and the anc distortion problem soon or i going to take this back and really dont want

Great ear buds. They're loud and clear. Eat tips are nice, soft and cozy for long term use. Quick switch isn't the easiest but it does work. Only problem I had, is it kept randomly dropping connection, but I'll look into it and get it fixed. App has over 200+ preset eqs for every game you can think of (however that might be the reason for the disconnect.) Would absolutely recommend. I used mine with the ps5

I have had these for a week now. They work bery well for most gaming. Good fit, over 100 pre nade eqs. Missing one for Black Ops 6 though. That truly needs to be addressed. Overall another great Arctis ptoduct.

I really don’t enjoy wearing a full headset and this seemed like it was worth trying. The sound is great and the mic works well enough to party. Since I’ve had it, it has not connected to the 2.4 mode twice. Once I was able to switch the usb port that the dongle was plugged into and reconnect. This didn’t work the second time. I think I may have to download the app to ensure software is updated. Somewhat frustrating, but if resolved by this I maintain that it’s a solid option for great sound without hot ears

Great sound quality once you download the app. Mic issues every now and again. Very comfortable earbuds. Great value when on sale
