Great sound, mediocre mic.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for what we needed. The mic isnt the greatest, but not a deal breaker. It's less obnoxious than the huge gaming headsets and can be used out and about too.

Worth the buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical about buying this due to the hot and cold reviews. I pulled the trigger and I don’t regret it at all. I bought them as an alternative and they became my primary.

Been waiting for this!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is on a SteelSeries - Arctis Gamebuds true wireless noise cancelling gaming earbuds for Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch, Mobile and VR. I have been waiting a long time for an earbud solution for Xbox. This is an excellent pair of earbuds. They sound great. Volume is loud and the bass is good. Battery life has been great so far. They fit perfectly inside the curve of my ears as if a mold had been created from my ears. They hold in place and I can sling my head around without them falling out. Setting them up is easy. They come with a USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect to your Xbox. Once the adapter is plugged in, all you have to do is pull them out of the case and they immediately connect. Put them in the case and hold down the buttons on the earbuds for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode and connect them to the Bluetooth device listed. Press a button once and you can swap between Bluetooth and 2.4 wireless. The app on mobile can turn features on\off\up\down or you can do it by the buttons on earbuds. The buttons are easy to push and you can tell when you have pushed them. There are many equalizer settings you can change between in the app on mobile or PC. All of them are tailored to popular games. One of them is for footsteps and yes it does enhance footsteps. Other equalizer settings are for music, movies or your own custom. You can turn ANC on\off or in transparency mode. I do not like ANC mode. They have a horrible overpowered popping sound when in ANC at full volume. You can turn it down to get rid of the sound. There is an update that you need to perform when you get them. It can only be done through the PC and it was a little difficult to find the program due to different titles. Once I installed it and connected the earbuds while in the case to the PC, it only took about 5 minutes to update. I think after the update it helped with ANC a little but the popping sound is still there. Really there is no need for ANC though. The difference between ANC on\off and transparency is barely noticeable other than the popping sound. I would recommend these to anyone looking to get away from those bulky and funny looking headsets while streaming or playing games.

How did this even get released?
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Barely functions and loses connections all the time across multiple devices tested. Plug it behind your PC? Is there a desk in the way? Connection problems. Trying to use it on your phone? Randomly disconnects from your phone even if it's just in your pocket on bluetooth mode. The connectivity is so bad, that whenever it disconnects from my PC for example, I have to physically go behind my PC so there's a "clear" signal from the airbuds to the receiver dongle.

They're okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had them for a little over a month now and the left earbud stopped working. Besides that these are good. I've done a reset and checked the connection.

Unable to Use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of these headphones are great, but it’s unnecessarily complicated to connect. After several forum reads, video tutorials, etc. I wasn’t able to connect them. I bought a new another one to see if it was a product defect, but same problem unfortunately. I was attempting to connect to PC

Good idea, poor execution
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed by the performance and usability. Operation controls are not intuitive. I like and use SteelSeries Arctis over the ear headphones, and was hoping the GameBuds would be just as good, but unfortunately I will not be using these for gaming as I had intended.
