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.

    I am not a fan of over the head headphones and these work fantastic. I would say it is for the Casual gamers most likely. But I love the app and how I can connect to my phone and take phone calls in the middle of the game and it switches automatically in between. I use these on my xbox with the adapter provided in the package. I love the option of having both or just one earphone in as well. Lots of options for sounds profiles as well! Great Job Steel Series!

    Poor connectivity, Poor Mic, poor everything

    Constantly disconnects right next to the computer and then you have to play a game of putting the bud back in the case and taking it out and hoping it reconnects in the first couple tries. Can't walk more than 1 room away or same situation when you get back. Microphone always sounds like you're far away. At one point the right earbud just started playing feedback nonstop and I had to figure out how to do a factory reset on them to get it to stop. The app liked to switch your default sound device every time you docked the earbuds to charge them for more than like 30 minutes. Maybe mine are just bad, but I was too late to return them with BestBuy's 15 day policy so now it looks like I wasted money. Just ended up purchasing a logitech yeti mic and some regular jbl earbuds and have had 0 issues since. Cant use a regular headset anymore due to skin irritation issues that came about so decided to give earbuds a go. Used steelseries mice for awhile with no issues but these do not live up to the quality i was expecting.

    I had high hopes for these but after using them for a few days the sound is just ok… you would think for being ear buds the sound would be right in your ear…. But that is not the case with these. Playing COD on these was nothing special for the price and the mic was not that good when getting feedback from others . I had high hopes wanting something compact and I love ear buds, but these are a hard no for me. The controls are not consistent as well when you try to press the buttons on the buds. In summary while they do work for the sound quality they are overpriced.
