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.

    Best decision I made. Mic does kind of suck. But does the job. Most people use a separate mic anyways

    I purchased this so I could use them on my PC, Xbox, and Switch 2. They work across all the platforms, which is a huge plus, but that’s where the pros end and the cons begin. The sound quality is not great if you use them in the default “flat” setting. If you use the phone app to change the EQ setting, they sound really good, but only in the best of situations. The Active Noise Cancellation is terrible. I used these on a plane to play my Switch 2. They only cut out about 30-40% of the noise, and the volume was so low at the max setting that I could barely hear my game. The big advantage of these buds is that you can use the microphone in 2.4 mode to play games, but you sound kinda muffled, so that’s not great either. For the price and the quality, I cannot recommend these GameBuds.

    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.

    Poor connectivity, Poor Mic, poor everything

    Constantly disconnects right next to the computer and then you have to play a game of putting the bud back in the case and taking it out and hoping it reconnects in the first couple tries. Can't walk more than 1 room away or same situation when you get back. Microphone always sounds like you're far away. At one point the right earbud just started playing feedback nonstop and I had to figure out how to do a factory reset on them to get it to stop. The app liked to switch your default sound device every time you docked the earbuds to charge them for more than like 30 minutes. Maybe mine are just bad, but I was too late to return them with BestBuy's 15 day policy so now it looks like I wasted money. Just ended up purchasing a logitech yeti mic and some regular jbl earbuds and have had 0 issues since. Cant use a regular headset anymore due to skin irritation issues that came about so decided to give earbuds a go. Used steelseries mice for awhile with no issues but these do not live up to the quality i was expecting.

    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 had high hopes for these but after using them for a few days the sound is just ok… you would think for being ear buds the sound would be right in your ear…. But that is not the case with these. Playing COD on these was nothing special for the price and the mic was not that good when getting feedback from others . I had high hopes wanting something compact and I love ear buds, but these are a hard no for me. The controls are not consistent as well when you try to press the buttons on the buds. In summary while they do work for the sound quality they are overpriced.
