Great sound. Charge lasts long.
I’m super impressed by these. I’m trying to get away from band headsets I use a Sennheiser HD650 so something from those to these it is noticeable but these earbuds once you have the EQ dialed in are so nice. USE THE APP. I’m on PC so download the steel series app. Idk about the mic I use a Audio-Technica AT2035. I do miss the open headset.

My go to earbuds!
The Arctis GameBuds are a fantastic choice for gamers looking for high-quality sound and versatility! The quick-switch dual wireless feature is a game-changer, allowing me to seamlessly switch between 2.4GHz for my PS5 and Bluetooth for mobile gaming and works flawlessly with my gaming PC too. The active noise cancellation is impressive, fully immersing me in gameplay while still offering a transparency mode when needed. The 360° spatial audio enhances directional awareness, making in-game sounds feel incredibly realistic. The battery life is amazing, lasting up to 40 hours with the Qi charging case. Plus, the earbuds are water-resistant (IP55), making them durable for on-the-go gaming. Overall, these earbuds are comfortable, high-performing, and perfect for any gamer. Highly recommend!

Better then expected
I’ve owned steel series head sets before and didn’t like the audio quality but I took a chance on these and they are really comfortable. Only problem I’ve had are them not wanting to connect with the apps to update. Or them occasionally disconnecting for a second like they are reconnecting. But that went away after like a week I personally like steel series software. One thing that isn’t talked about is if your connected to your pc and get a call it’ll go through you headset and disconnect briefly from the pc.

Extremely disappointed
Let me start off by saying these are NOT a good product. I got these because I wanted to try earbuds instead of my Astro A50s for the sake of comfort. I had a horrible experience trying to get these to connect to my computer and couldn’t at all get them to connect to my phone following all the instructions. Let me go through all the things I dont like since I finally got them to pair on my PC.1. First and foremost the sound quality is terrible, there are 30 dollar ear buds that sound better than these, playing with eq and using the application made no difference. The sound is flat and the bass in any game or song turns crunchy and distorted.2. The buds dont always sit in the case correctly so getting them to start pairing was awful. I had to constantly open and close the case and take the buds out and back in until it finally worked.3. The case is very cheap feeling and does not feel durable, especially with the earbud seating issues.The ONLY thing stopping me from giving this a 1 star is that they are actually very comfortable in the ear and stay put but the audio quality is bad enough that I just can’t justify ever using these. For 150 dollars its not worth it. At best these feel like a 15 dollar pair of buds you would get at a gas station and not something I would expect of Steel series since I like their other headphones. I would avoid these and look elsewhere.

Great Features, Poor Sound & Directionality
These earbuds have some cool features, but the sound quality is disappointing. Compared to my existing headset, they sound too quiet and thin, even after updating the firmware and tweaking the settings. Worse, I struggled to pinpoint sound direction in PUBG, which is the main reason I bought them. My current headset lets me accurately hear where footsteps and other sounds are coming from, but these just don’t deliver that level of precision. If spatial awareness and audio quality matter to you, I’d look elsewhere.

These have been great for me
I don’t have any complaints about these headphones. So far, they’ve been working great with everything I’ve paired them with. I’ve tested them with my iPhone, and I think they sound fantastic. They work just as well with my Pixel 9, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and laptops. For me, the sound quality is excellent—I really love the bass response, and vocals come through crisp and clear when listening to music. The noise isolation is also impressive, making them great for gaming since you can hear everything clearly. The headphones themselves are comfortable, small, and fit securely in my ears. I don’t feel like they’ll fall out while I’m using them, which is a big plus. The case is compact and easy to store, taking up minimal space. I also appreciate the flexibility of connection options—whether you prefer a dongle or Bluetooth, you have the choice. The battery life has been reliable. I typically use them for 2-3 hours at a time and haven’t had any issues with them dying during use. I make sure to pop them back in the case during breaks, so they’re always ready for the next session. Overall, I’m really impressed with these headphones. They’re comfortable, versatile, and sound great. I wish more companies would follow this approach to comfort and fit!

Good but poor connectivity
Works great but after a update this started acting up and always had multiple issues connecting , either only one side of the earbuds would connect and I have to put it back in the case take it back out multiple times until both sides would connect. Awful with the pairing but quality wise it was really good I enjoyed it, just really sucks with the issues it kept having after the update.

Ich bin wirklich begeistert von diesen kleinen Dingern! Mit diesen Buds von Steelseries habe ich endlich die richtige Headset Alternative gefunden. Bevor ich diese Buds gekauft habe, habe ich noch die Sony Inzone Buds getestet. Steelseries ist dabei der klare Gewinner.Was mich überzeugt hat:Klangqualität: Wow! Ich war wirklich überrascht, wie klar und satt der Klang ist. Man hört jedes Detail, egal ob leise Schritte im Spiel oder die volle Wucht einer Explosion. Auch beim Musikhören machen sie eine super Figur – klare Höhen, ausgewogene Mitten und ein ordentlicher Bass, ohne zu übersteuern. Dazu kann man mit der Steelseries App individuell einiges anpassen.Tragekomfort: Ich habe oft Probleme mit In-Ears, die entweder drücken oder ständig herausfallen. Bei diesen hier ist das anders. Sie sitzen perfekt und sind so leicht, dass ich sie manchmal fast vergesse. Auch nach Stunden kein unangenehmes Gefühl.Verbindung: Die Einrichtung war kinderleicht, und die Verbindung (sowohl über den Dongle als auch Bluetooth) ist super stabil. Ich hatte bisher keinerlei Aussetzer oder Verzögerungen, was gerade beim zocken extrem wichtig ist.Mikrofon: Klangqualität soll gut sein. Meine Telefongespräche verliefen ohne irgendwelche Kommentare und auch beim zocken gab es keine Kommunikationsprobleme.Akkulaufzeit: Für so kleine Kopfhörer hält der Akku erstaunlich lange. Ich komme locker den ganzen Abend (20-24 Uhr ca.) durch, ohne Akkuprobleme zu haben. Und das Ladecase ist super praktisch für unterwegs.Design und Verarbeitung:Die Buds machen einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck. Sie fühlen sich gut an und sehen auch noch schick aus. Nur das Ladecase fühlt sich im Vergleich zu den Airpods Pro 2 minderwertig an.Kleiner Hinweis:Man sollte sich bewusst sein, dass In-Ears bauartbedingt nicht den gleichen Raumklang erzeugen können wie Over-Ear-Kopfhörer. Für mich persönlich ist das aber kein Nachteil, da ich den direkten, immersiven Klang dieser Buds sogar bevorzuge.

Amazing sound, basically no lag, less than my Arctis Nova 7 Wireless to be honest.Bought it to play on PCVR (quest 3) using the dongle and it works perfectly. Sometimes I even use it to regular PC games!Exactly what I was looking for:Earbuds with good battery, good sound, close to zero lag, and with dongle+bluetooth.
