Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Arctis GameBuds offer good sound quality, comfortable fit, and satisfactory battery life. The inclusion of a USB-C dongle slot and effective active noise cancellation are appreciated features. Some find the bass response could be improved. The availability of numerous EQ presets and low latency 2.4Ghz wireless support are also positives.

    Epic connection Failure

    It’s okay, quality is mediocre at best, took some time to connect and took 3 times to reconnect when I am on my Xbox. You would think this would be good or at least decent but sad to say, it is mediocre at the vets. Not impressed at all

    Steelseries headphones offer top-notch audio and portability, and their customer service is outstanding in case of any issues.

    I got this to use with use with my Meta Quest 3, my Asus ROG Ally X, and my android phone. I would say the sound quality is about average, not bad but not great. The latency is too slow to work via bluetooth with the quest 3 but is about on par with the speakers that are built in. I was hoping for better sound quality than the Quest 3 speakers but I would say its about the same if not a little worse. Most sounds are fine but if you play with the equalizer at all heavy bass sounds like explosions or gun shots sounds like the speaker is going to blow out not a "boom" sound. Ultimately I decided to do a wired set of headphones I have with my Quest 3 and that works way better. The usb-c dongle works well with everything I have tried. Bluetooth pairs easily as well. I will probably use these as a back up set. These may be comfortable for some ears but I found that I have to adjust them a little each time I put them inor they hurt my ears. Honestly, i would recommend something else, especially for the price.

    Was super skeptical about these but honestly they're perfect the controls weren't well explained in the package but that can be chopped down to human error. Comparing them to sony wf 1000xm5 the sound quality it comparable the anc isnt ad good but for gaming, work, gym, riding a bike. I love themv

    Best Value Earbuds for a True Wireless Feel

    Best quality earbuds i've ever purchase. The 2.4ghz dongle connects right to my ps5 for quick pairing right out of the case, and can be switched to bluetooth pairing to sync with phone or other device without having to disconnect. The noise cancelling and transparency modes are features I never knew I'd learn to love. 12/10 product.

    Pretty solid. They have sound that’s probably just average for mid-tier headphones but there’s no latency due to the included 2.4 ghz transmitter.

    Bought for work so I could walk around and listen to my laptop. Works well for that scenario. However facetime and trying to use your laptop does not work well. You have to turn off bluetooth from your phone and then swap to your computer. Annoying but still works. ANC is okay, not as good as apple but glad its there. Comfortable for the most part but it may irritate ear after 4+ hours of use. Battery life is great.

    The sound on these are great, love being able to switch back and forth from phone to console. Finally some earbuds for my xbox. Ive had it not connect a couple times but just quickly unplugging the adapter and plugging back in fixed it.

    Bought these for my teenage son, who carefully selected them due to specs and positive reviews. He loves the long battery life and greqt sound for gaming or music.

    Love these things. Conventional headphones get uncomfortable after long periods of times, these work for 10+ hours at a full charge.

    Overall, I like this product alot. I have the Steelseries Arctics Nova Pro Wireless, and love those, but at work, I dont like having the big headphones on for meeting, so I was looking for a pair of earbuds with a dongle. These ones were exactly what I want, and I have no regrets. A few things to note, the ear tips are not great, I am ordering some universal foam tips for them and expect the issue to be solved. The dongle connectivity is kinda weak, but I am in a new environment that has pretty thick walls. The SteelSeries GG software is what helps the most, it lets me use my earbuds with my external microphone without any issues. They sound good, and even better with the software. The microphone sounds okay, but again, with the software, you can make it sound more clear.

    I can't believe how good it sounds for its size. It's also very comfortable for me, I actually don't feel them at all like with my AirPods pro or Beats Fit Pro.
