Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought two sets as Christmas gifts. Seem to be well made and fit was comfortable. However, sound quality was poor and chat was so thin that both sets were returned to store for full refund. Attempted adjusting audio with and without the app. Nothing really seemed to make a great improvement.

Amazing earbuds all around won’t be switching anytime soon!

their okay. ear fit is strange. The sonar software is horrible to use.

Super recommend gamebuds for all platforms .......

Always good to buy mine at BestBuy Products. Great service

Amazing earbuds. Steelseries always makes amazing products.

Buds will not connect to app for sound profiles and other features. Tried everything and customer service at steelseries was not helpful. Im returning these since there seems to be no fix for this in the near future.

SteelSeries - Arctis GameBuds True Wireless earbuds. This is a very nice pair of terrific sounding true wireless earbuds. To me they offer a much-appreciated alternative to the large/bulky over the ear headphones that most gaming headsets are based on. These earbuds are very small, lightweight, and portable, making them ideal for gamers on the go, or if you’re simply not in the mood for the large over-the-ear variety. Travel well in the included charging case and are especially appreciated as a great gaming set that can also be used on the run paired to a smaller mobile device. The sound quality is amazing for their tiny “earbud” size. Design and build quality are top notch as well with a strong, durable feel. Come in black or white to suit your preference and match the rest of your setup. Design and Comfort The earbuds have a clean, attractive look and are very comfortable, even when worn for extended periods of time like gaming or just throughout the day for music or phone use. Their fit remains comfortable and secure even throughout busy activities like running or walking throughout the workday. Come with the typical “small-medium-large” ear tips to fit any size ears, and the included silicone tips are very comfortable when inserted. The accompanying storage/charging case is sleek yet powerful. Offering 3 additional charges in the case and even has a storage nook for the USB dongle which I really appreciate helping to prevent losing it when not in use. Sound Quality Sound quality is top notch for their size, and I feel they get plenty loud when needed. These buds deliver crips clean highs and an impressive bass response for an enjoyable and balanced audio experience. The immersive 360-degree spatial audio technology makes me feel like I’m right in the game. The available app highlights all the available features and allows full customization of many settings. The app can instantly apply custom presets for over 100 PS5 games to give you the most robust listening experience tailored to deliver the best audio experience for each particular game – The way it was designed to be heard. Also great for phone calls and music, eliminating the need to have a different set of headphones for all of the different aspects of my day. These are one and done and I can do anything I want seamlessly with this one pair of small versatile earbuds. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the built in microphone integrated into these buds does a phenomenal job of conveying crystal clear voice without any muffling or volume loss. I don’t have to yell out into space in order for this microphone to pick up my words so that I can a nice conversation without shouting. Active Noise Cancellation Active noise cancellation seems to be the new norm with just about any headphones or earbuds these, but it really works on these. The 4-mic hybrid technology on these earbuds automatically adjusts to your surroundings to eliminate background noises and keep you focused on what matters. This can be appreciated on every aspect from gaming to phone calls. Battery Life and Connectivity Battery life is great. Able to go 10 hours on the earbud batteries themselves and then the case has another 3 full charges to keep you going all weekend even if you forget the charge cable at home. These also support quick switch Bluetooth technology to quickly jump from platform to platform and once again allows me to work from a single pair of earbuds all day without the need for multiple headsets to cover multiple scenarios. Value for cost The cost is not cheap, but I feel these earbuds are priced competitively when compared to similar models from other brands. Overall long session usability and their quick-switch Bluetooth make them well worth it for their ability to handle any listening scenario you may have, all with a single pair of buds. Overall, I have really enjoyed playing with these earbuds and I think they are a great option for hardcore gamers who are ready for a switch from the bulky/heavy/hot alternative of over-the-ear headsets. These do it all in a small package, and they do it all well.

I like them we can’t complain about it. Good earbuds.

These are the most complete earbuds for all purposes

These are trash. Volume is so low i can't even hear my weapon fire let alone footsteps. Maybe i got a lemon, maybe its operator error or maybe theyre just trash. I was excited to get them being i had the steelseries artic 7 and theyre great so i figured to step up with these new buds. Nope not happy at all

Terrible product. Cannot adjust chat volume. Sounds like you’re in a tunnel to other players. Horrible audio that cannot be adjusted. Frequently returned item and should not have purchased.

The airbuds have a ringing sound when in use, warranty team was great

Nice quality but a little pain in the butt, to set up the mic is very hard to hear from the people, on the other side of the game. Sound quality, it's okay not fantastic, but okay

worked great randomly stopped working case was faulty, right bud started blasting high pitch into my ear

Can’t control voice chat and game chat like older models

Turning anc on caused a high pitch ringing in the right ear bud. Volume significantly louder in left ear bud than the right.

I really was not expecting to like gaming earbuds. I assumed that they wouldn’t have great separation, that audio quality would be worse, and that no one would be able to hear me online. I was wrong, the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are some of the best gaming headphones I’ve ever used including over the ear headsets. I’m in love with these and I’ve already convinced a friend to buy a pair too. You should too! Where to even start with all the things I like about these. First and foremost, audio across the board is great. Playing COD Black Ops 6 multiplayer, I had clear separation and was able to effectively listen for enemies. Playing Lethal Company with friends, I was regularly complimented on how good my mic sounded. And the noise cancelling effectively helped drown out all the random noises going on in my house. Battery life is great, I went through several long rounds of gaming without running out of juice and whenever I was done I just put the earbuds back in the case and set the case on my wireless charging pad, always ready to go. I found both the bluetooth and especially the 2.4g wireless to function beautifully. My entertainment cabinet is thick so sometimes 2.4g signals struggle to reach me on the couch and I have to leave a cabinet door open. Not here, the door was fully closed and I had no issues. I really can’t say enough about how much I love these earbuds. My one downside is that you have to plug in the headphones/case into a computer and download SteelSeries’ software, in order to update the firmware. The phone app simply says, download the app on your computer to update your firmware. That is a minor quibble though, the headphone are my new go-tos. And they should be yours too! Pros: Excellent audio quality Microphone rivals a full headset with boom mic Great noise cancelling Great battery life Handy case Strong 2.4g signal Comfortable Useful case Wireless charging Cons: Updating the firmware is a pain

These gamebids suck. Wont connect, volpme too low, crappy build quality. -5 stars on all points. Dollar general makes better, uts sad.

Was not what I expected and had a hard time getting the sound to be correct.
