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.

I would recommend this to a friendDad approved earbuds.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great buds, especially with the transparency mode, which for a parent of young kids is almost necessary so I can stay alert. Happy with my purchase so far. Recommendation for better tranparency: Max out the sidetone, which allows more high frequencies through and better clarity of speech.
I would recommend this to a friendGood but has issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great alternative when not wanting to use an over the ear style headphone. Tap feature doesn’t always work and I have latest firmware downloaded.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give this 5 stars, but I'm not a fan of how sensitive the buttons are on the ear buds, it's hard to turn volume up and down.
I would recommend this to a friendA great thought but terrible execution!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried these out for 2 weeks and they are terrible if you plan to use them on Xbox. Constant issues with connection. They also increase latency (ping) if you play on wifi. I ran 3 different tests to see what the issue was. The dongle broadcasts a 2.4 GHz signal right next to the Xbox which causes congestion. The mic is hit or miss. People tell me they cant hear me very well or not at all. I did hook them up to my pc to use the steel series app to adjust all the settings and nothing really improved. I searched online to see if I just had a defective pair but I saw other people saying similar things. Save your money and buy a regular Xbox headset. Maybe next version that comes out will improve.

I would recommend this to a friendNot worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product worked great for the first month. Then earbuds started to fall apart and malfunction. For $180 new it was not worth the price. Was looking for a long term audio device for gaming and ended up with an expensive short lived experience.

I would recommend this to a friendDisappointment...get different Steelseries headset
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for the black ops 6 release. Was excited to get, but once hooked up my party can barly hear me. The sound of my voice is like in a tunnel or mic is across room. Ended up going back to my other arctis headset. Ill use the earbuds for other around the house stuff, but if your buying for gaming to talk with friends, look at other steelseries products. If your solo gaming, yes they can be good, sounds was different being use to normal headsets. Finding myself, I am pushing the buttons when adjusting earpieces.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendDisappointing…
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I attempted to use these primarily for gaming on my PlayStation 5 but the microphone volume was low per my group, the audio volume was inconsistent(verified that the volume limter was off), and the earbuds would randomly disconnect. On a postitive, they are pretty nice for everyday use when they do connect.
