Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought the steel series gaming earbuds at the beginning of April and they have been great. Easy to pair with clear sound and the mic works well for communication. I can also use them for my phone like any other Bluetooth earbuds. Highly recommend

The first pair I bought were broken - they weren’t synced to the dongle from factory, and after checking the online manual I figured out how to resync them. Unfortunately only one would sync to 2.4 while the other would only sync to 5. So i exchanged them for another pair and while they worked, getting them to connect to my Mac for the firmware update was a whole other problem that i had to use Google to solve. I’m not impressed with noise cancellation since i can still hear people talking at a normal volume in the room, and I had to turn the mic all the way to max so my friends can hear my coms. In the end, they’re just ok but I really don’t recommend them.

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

Great audio and noise cancelling. Used them for running and occasional gaming. Work best when able to adjust eqs on PC or the app

I was very excited for these for a while. However the ANC isnt as good as i would hoped for vs theyre actual headsets. Quailty feels plasticy. Sound sounds good. Bass isnt as good as i hoped for even when chnaged in the tuner. Mic is excellent. Annoying thijg. You have to chnage everything in your pc to make it work. Select input and output to the earbuds, unlike other devices that do it auto. Overall 3 of 5. Id stay with my steel series headset though.

Widespread known issue with Active noise cancelation. You will hear popping, crackling and in general distorted sounds when that is on. So technically ANC is not working. Gave it three stars because it really is a great product when ANC off, the sound and details are well received. The UI is amazing and size fit perfect. If not for that issue it would be the perfect product. Minus 2 star because: 1. ANC (Active noise canceling) does not work 2. The set up was very difficult to set up. Once it's set though everything works smooth.

Portability is excellent as compared to my wireless Astro a50 headset. After a 7hr session, the Astro a50 headset does feel more comfortable as these in ear buds start to feel big in my ear canal. Overall, sound is good for what it is, not as good as the a50 headset, but worth the trade off for me to not have headset hair. Mic quality in these earbuds is poor compared to the Astro a50 and I’ve experienced sporadic mic issues and connectivity issues.

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

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.

They work great. Sound and bass is great and they connect easily.

Excellent sound and so light. No problem connecting to pc.

good earbuds overall i didn’t think id use them outside of playing on my rog ally but now im using them 24/7 i like how its easy to switch to 2.4 and bt mode.

Great earbuds for everyday use and gaming, the 2.4 hz wireless dongle is handy for switching between devices easily. Can plug into handheld, laptop, and phone via usb c without software.

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.

Super comfortable. Great sound. Only issue is it has sound breaking on my rode mixer bluetooth. Not sure of its mixer or buds

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 ear buds are top notch easy to hide with a little hair. Nothing sticks down from ear very comfortable. Noise reduction is excellent. Highly Recommend for all gaming and music very versatile.

I love that is ACTUALLY wireless and can be paired with both my phone and my ps5. Easy to take on the go .. You can switch with just tapping the button . Game play is great I hear EVERYTHING. I highly recommend .

I would rate it 5 stars, but the mic is a bit weak for the price. However, the audio is amazing, and I do enjoy using earbuds instead of a full-on headset.

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.
