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 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.

    Not only did this fit perfectly in my ears but they have amazing sound. I play rainbow six siege and finally found gaming earbuds that make it easy to hear where players are cominh from. Setup was easy, comfortable fit, great in game sound! Definitely recommend :)

    I'd go with 4.5 but it's not an option. Noise cancelling works well and the 2.4 mode gives pretty decent sound with very little latency. Connection seemed a little wonky at first but after doing it a few time,s no issues. Wireless charging is nice too

    They sounds great but the left ear bud has connection issues. I have had it just randomly disconnect and re connect 5-10 min latter. you don't make sure they are charging when you put them in the case you might go to use them and one will be dead.

    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

    They're good sounding earbuds. Have used them for gaming and casual listening on my phone and no issues with either. No latency when gaming on my PC using the included dongle. Wish the case was higher quality but it is what it is. They also fit really nicely in my ears and I can wear them for hours without issue

    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

    The Arctis GameBuds offer great battery life and ear comfort but I've been experiencing bad audio quality when paired to my iPhone via bluetooth. Audio is very good and stable while using the supplied USB-C dongle for 2.4Ghz mode. Note that I've upgraded the buds to the newest firmware but I'm still having audio distortion with bluetooth connectivity. I do not recommend this if you want to switch before 2.4 and bluetooth.

    Very compact and appealing. Extended wear was uncomfortable. Sometimes to get them to connect I had to open and close the case 10 times. On discord they worked great or other times people couldnt hear me at all. Hopefully they make a second version and correct the flaws because I would try again

    These Arctis GameBuds are seriously awesome. Switching between my PS5 and PC is so smooth, it’s like they just know what I need! They’re super comfy. I can wear them for hours without even noticing. Plus, the quality is spot on. If you want great sound and zero fuss, you can't go wrong with these.
