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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    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!

    Great quality and features. Great for people who don’t like to have headphones either on their ears or on top of their head. Convenient for gaming with kids to only have one in and still be able to hear if they get up in the middle of the night.

    Right out of the box i saw that it was a decent size buds. My ears are not that great with esrbuds that go inear but it didnt bother me putting them on. The noise and anc were good not great but definitely did a good job. Connection was a breeze and it couldnt be any easier to do compared to others ive tried.

    Pretty solid. They have sound that’s probably just average for mid-tier headphones but there’s no latency due to the included 2.4 ghz transmitter.

    [Employee of bestbuy] These are my go to for everything now. I can pair them to my TV, my phone, I can link them to my PC with the dongle and my PS5 with the dongle. They're comfortable and fit in my ears without the worry of falling out if I'm eating or talking. Don't hesitate and give these a try.

    Incredible battery life. I have worn them over 6 hours strait and they never cut off. The sound is ok. My JBL TWS definitely sounded better. The range of the 2.4 is kind of weak but that not a big issue for me.

    The sound is amazing crisp and sharp with very good deep base. But the mic is like most other ear bud type mics it gets the job done but isnt amazing. But you definitely want these for the sound quality, the presets are a great touch

    Today marks the second time I’ve now had to exhange the headphones back in for a new pair. They work great except for the transparency mode having a bit too much wind noise because it’s actively playing the sounds in the environment amplified for u to be aware of them. But the anc (noise canceling mode) has now broken two separate times where the headphone gets really really quiet even at max volume on any setting. And when u swap it over to anc it has a really loud whining sound that won’t go away. I’ve reset it to factory default and tried letting them turn off on their own and then turning them back on to no avail. If u want good headphones that can be used for pc/bluetooth/any device with a type c port more or less I would recommend these still and hope u get a good pair… deff get a warranty so u can keep trading them back though.
