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.

    Solid earbuds. Good sound. Not as good as the over ear headsets but close enough for the ear of use.

    Bought these for my teenage son, who carefully selected them due to specs and positive reviews. He loves the long battery life and greqt sound for gaming or music.

    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.

    Surprised with the quality compared to PS5 earbuds

    These compare well to AirPods Pro and outperform Sony's Explore earbuds, which have an audio delay in Bluetooth mode (Arctis has no delay). I'm glad I returned them for this. Bonus: it supports Qi wireless charging, plus you can adjust EQ settings through their app on your phone, access more options, and get firmware updates when connected to a PC.

    Good Start, but a few quirks

    Overall, I like this product alot. I have the Steelseries Arctics Nova Pro Wireless, and love those, but at work, I dont like having the big headphones on for meeting, so I was looking for a pair of earbuds with a dongle. These ones were exactly what I want, and I have no regrets. A few things to note, the ear tips are not great, I am ordering some universal foam tips for them and expect the issue to be solved. The dongle connectivity is kinda weak, but I am in a new environment that has pretty thick walls. The SteelSeries GG software is what helps the most, it lets me use my earbuds with my external microphone without any issues. They sound good, and even better with the software. The microphone sounds okay, but again, with the software, you can make it sound more clear.

    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.

    It’s okay, quality is mediocre at best, took some time to connect and took 3 times to reconnect when I am on my Xbox. You would think this would be good or at least decent but sad to say, it is mediocre at the vets. Not impressed at all

    I really love these headphones. They sound great and work really well for gaming which is good because that’s why I bought them. Also they are easy to make your presets and save them to your app. Also the app has plenty of presets for different games that work really well. There are a couple drawbacks but I still love them. The mic is far from your mouth so it seems like others sometimes have a hard time hearing you over party chat Second is I have issues from time to time connecting to Bluetooth after my PlayStation. With that being said I do not regret my decision and would recommend them.

    I can't believe how good it sounds for its size. It's also very comfortable for me, I actually don't feel them at all like with my AirPods pro or Beats Fit Pro.

    Sounds way better than my other headsets. Specially when it comes to hearing footsteps. Everyone has different opinions with media/music but I would say that it sounds ok but I primarily use these for gaming. Only issue I have with this is the screeching noise on the left side while using transparency.

    They sounds great but the left ear bud has connection issues. I have had it just randomly disconnect and re connect 5-10 min latter. you don't make sure they are charging when you put them in the case you might go to use them and one will be dead.

    Good for casual use, just not competitive gaming.

    Love using these on my PC for casual day to day use and light gaming. Where they falter though is being able to consistently hear footsteps properly in several games with the corresponding presets assigned to each title. I’ll stick to my over the ears for competitive gaming, but for everday use, they’re equivalent to AirPods but just more reliable for PC use.

    Im so sick of these companies forcing people to have to have a mac or pc to upgrade. They have an app (finally!) and yet they havent added any of their older headphones, and you cant update? Everything but that is great. Out of the box these are the blandest headphones you’ll ever hear but with the app you can choose different presets and sounds for games that works pretty well. Also the app feels like its still in beta. One issue too, is unlike the series 7’s you can connect to 2 devices. Not a huge deal but something i love about my series 7. These are also comfortable but thats dumb to say since everyone has a different shaped ear.

    These are great set of earbuds. The sound quality over bluetooth via my phone is pretty good with the ANC settings. Not at as good as my AirPods for my iPhone but only slightly so, even with the preset EQ settings. Switching over to 2.4 ghz via the dongle for gaming on my Switch, PS5 and PC are a different story. Sound quality is definitely better in this mode, in my opinion. Even better with the preset EQ settings that you can choose from. I have a SteelSeries Arctic Nova 7 that I use for PS5 and PC and those are definitely better, but these are a great alternative for when those start to clamp down on my head a little much.
