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. Additionally, a few users have noted that the bass could be improved and the volume may be low during online use.

    These earbuds are absolutely amazing. I had one issue setting it up to my PC but it was just a matter of pressing one button. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for earbuds for gaming or daily use.

    Idk how it's 2025 and a (tech) company is still requiring you to connect a WIRELESS product into a PC to update. And not only that, but the process is the the biggest pain in the rear. I've been trying to update these things for almost an hour now. The "app" refuses to recognize my earbuds and is literally just a massive ad trying to get you to buy more crap. It's slow, and looks like it was built in the 90s. Which was the last time I remember having to plug a device into a PC to update so I guess it's fitting. Also they don't even sound good and constantly disconnect. I have to pull out the connector from my Xbox EVERY time I want to use them. 0 stars if I could.

    These are some of the best buds out there !!!!! Would recommend to anyone. Small and Compact but pack a crazy punch. For FPS like COD I hear the footsteps like crazy and the direction it’s coming from game changer !!

    Great sound quality with awesome noise cancellation. Was pleasently surprised that they have sidetone too! For someone who travels and wants earbuds for gaming but also listening to music comfortably, these are perfect for you.

    They have a great fit, lots of use during gaming and staying home with chores to do. The transparency mode is great once you get it set up. Highly recommend for daily drivers.

    Awesome gaming buds! I travel a lot and got tired of the space my SteelSeries Arctis 7x took up in my bag, so I switch to the GameBuds. They work great with my gaming laptop, and being able to quick switch and take a phone is a great feature.

    First, let me say that I absolutely love stillseries. The only problem I had with these were at times when it got loud. They made a loud screeching sound that was not good. If you are playing with people that scream you may encounter some of the things i'm talking about.

    bought these because literally every single youtuber says its a great pair of earbuds. i cant bring myself to love these earbuds because literally only HALF of its functions work! the fitment? best fit i ever had in a earbud. i go 8+ hours with them in and no fatigue. these are headphones meant for gaming. the ANC doesn't work well at all. and i cant get the microphone to work for an online game. i want to love these. i really do. but when half of its functionality isnt doing what its supposed to, its worthless... money wasted...
