Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Arctis GameBuds' sound quality, comfortable fit, and impressive battery life. The earbuds are also appreciated for their portability. However, some users have reported connectivity issues and have found the active noise cancellation to be subpar.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.
