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 earbuds are very good for gamers and pc users that don’t like wearing headphones.

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.

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.

Currently I own multiple gaming headsets(Astro A50x, hyperX and etc) and also multiple Earbuds(Samsung Buds 3 Pro, Beats, and etc).
This one really surprised me in terms of quality and specially lag free playing fast games like COD and Marvel Rivals.
The only problem was initially pair it with my smartphone and my PC. You need to update the firmware and switch the case to PC mode to do it.(It came in Xbox mode).
The ANC is not good as the other Earbuds.

These earbuds are really comfy and they fit really well in my ears. They have really great sound. I'm glad I bought these. I bought them for use with my ps5, but I've found myself using them for everything.

I switched from Sony earbuds to these, and I love them much more. They are super comfy, and the app provides specific audio settings for current games, sounding great.

These earbuds sound great for gaming and listening to music. Easy to use and battery lasts for some time. Have yet to really charge them. And a nice change compared to using over ear headset.

Great ear buds with no audio delay. I just wish the microphone in them was a little better.

Was very hesitant to buy gaming earbuds....so glad I did. Outside of the chance I'll drop and lose them I live the sound. I play battlefield 6 on PS5 and I can hear footsteps in the midst of battle. Great purchase.

These ear buds are my first experience with gaming earbuds, and it's been a really great experience so far. I've been using these for over a month for gaming on my PS5, my Switch and for listening to music. I even use these to listen to music and take calls under my helmet on my motorcycle. That experience has made me very impressed with the sound quality and the microphone.
I did find out that it's very important to download the app for these ear buds. Without it, the sounds was ok, but with it the quality is so good. I've tried a bunch of the game-specific presets and that's been really fun to hear the difference.
I've used the dongle on my PS5, Switch and on my PC and the sound while gaming is just as good as the headset I had been using. The bluetooth for connection has also been very solid for me when listening to music or taking calls on my phone.
This has been a great purchase for me!

This brand in any of the products teamed with sonar is something that everyone would buy if they knew. But you only know what you know so keep on not hearing footsteps while I hear them alllll. Muahahahahah

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.

Excellent sound and easy to use. I love not having giant cans on. Microphone could be a little better but it’s can be adjusted in sound menu. The app is great too. Got it on sale for 125.99 and that’s a amazing deal!
