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 purchased this so I could use them on my PC, Xbox, and Switch 2. They work across all the platforms, which is a huge plus, but that’s where the pros end and the cons begin. The sound quality is not great if you use them in the default “flat” setting. If you use the phone app to change the EQ setting, they sound really good, but only in the best of situations. The Active Noise Cancellation is terrible. I used these on a plane to play my Switch 2. They only cut out about 30-40% of the noise, and the volume was so low at the max setting that I could barely hear my game. The big advantage of these buds is that you can use the microphone in 2.4 mode to play games, but you sound kinda muffled, so that’s not great either. For the price and the quality, I cannot recommend these GameBuds.

    Great alternative when not wanting to use an over the ear style headphone. Tap feature doesn’t always work and I have latest firmware downloaded.

    Great buds, especially with the transparency mode, which for a parent of young kids is almost necessary so I can stay alert. Happy with my purchase so far. Recommendation for better tranparency: Max out the sidetone, which allows more high frequencies through and better clarity of speech.

    Tried these out for 2 weeks and they are terrible if you plan to use them on Xbox. Constant issues with connection. They also increase latency (ping) if you play on wifi. I ran 3 different tests to see what the issue was. The dongle broadcasts a 2.4 GHz signal right next to the Xbox which causes congestion. The mic is hit or miss. People tell me they cant hear me very well or not at all. I did hook them up to my pc to use the steel series app to adjust all the settings and nothing really improved. I searched online to see if I just had a defective pair but I saw other people saying similar things. Save your money and buy a regular Xbox headset. Maybe next version that comes out will improve.

    I would give this 5 stars, but I'm not a fan of how sensitive the buttons are on the ear buds, it's hard to turn volume up and down.

    Bought for the black ops 6 release. Was excited to get, but once hooked up my party can barly hear me. The sound of my voice is like in a tunnel or mic is across room. Ended up going back to my other arctis headset. Ill use the earbuds for other around the house stuff, but if your buying for gaming to talk with friends, look at other steelseries products. If your solo gaming, yes they can be good, sounds was different being use to normal headsets. Finding myself, I am pushing the buttons when adjusting earpieces.

    I think the product is good. The quality of sound by default is not the best when playing video games, but overall, I recommend it.
