SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for Xbox - Wireless Gaming Earbuds - 2.4GHz + BT 5.3 - ANC/Transparency - IP55 Water Resistant - 40H Battery - Wireless Charging - Xbox, PC, Switch 2, PS5, Mobile - Black

Bought these primarily as a gaming headset but they've ended up being my most-used piece of kit at the gym too. The active noise cancellation is genuinely impressive — once they're in, the outside world simply ceases to exist. No ambient gym noise, no unsolicited conversation, just whatever's in your ears. Exactly what you want at 7am. The fit is secure as well, which matters more than people give it credit for when you're moving around. They stay put. On the gaming side, the 100+ game-specific audio presets via the companion app are the real standout feature. It sounds gimmicky until you try it, and then it just makes sense — footsteps, environmental cues and spatial audio all noticeably sharper. The 2.4GHz wireless connection is rock solid with no perceptible lag. Battery life is solid for daily use, and the Qi wireless charging case means you're rarely scrambling for a cable. Not a cheap purchase, but they do two jobs — gym and gaming — better than most dedicated options do one. Well worth it.

Came to the Gamebuds from some Inzone buds and I have to recommend these over the Inzone buds. Firstly the sound quality is equal to or better than the Inzone as the gamebuds have WAY MORE EQ presets which makes them much more versatile depending on the content they're being used for, I don't like using extra software for things but I have read up that you can save an EQ to the buds using an app on your phone, so you don't necessarily need the GG software. They have nice punchy bass (if you get a good seal, I'll get back to this) the lows and mids are good but the highs are just okay, abit crunchy and muddy but more than adaquate for earbuds. What is not so adaquate however is the built in microphone, a very processed and low quality sound. Only really sufficient for a quick phone call and that's it. I would not subject people to it for long periods on discord for example, certainly not good enough for talking to team mates in game etc. The charging feels good in hand if a bit slippery and the dongle storage inside is a welcome feature. The gamebuds come with 3 different size ear tips and I found the largest was best BUT I always felt they were falling out so I did some digging and was recommended some comply foam eartips for Jabra 65t + 75t and indeed they did fit on the buds and in the case, however foam eartips (at least for me) lead to a drop in bass, resulting in a noticeable dip in audio quality. I then bought some large SpinFit omni eartips (3.7mm nozzle size) which have helped with retaining the bass but even they still feel like they're falling out occassionally, so still not perfect but definitely bearable. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend them to folks looking for some decent souding low latency gaming earbuds.

Picked these up after trying a load of cheaper alternatives including in ear monitors. All the others were vastly inferior to these buds. Easy to connect on the series x. Having 2.4 for the Xbox is a blessing. The app is great, with hundreds of eq settings for games built in. The Bluetooth works great for calls but I cannot comment on the music quality as I only use them for gaming. I use BETWEEN ANC buds for music which are magnificent. There are a couple of things to bear in mind. To update the buds you need a pc and if you receive a call when gaming, the gaming audio cuts of while the Bluetooth call takes place. By no means a deal breaker but the option for dual audio would have been nice along with the ability to update through the app. I can't recommend these high enough.

I purchased the Gamebuds as a one-and-done system to use while travelling for work to cut down on the bulk associated with transporting my steelseries Arctis Nova 7 headphones around with me (an absolutely fantastic headset that is a stark contrast to the Gamebuds). Considering these Gamebuds were born from a partnership between Jabra and steelseries, they are not as impressive as the slew of reviews and paid marketing suggests. I’ve owned a pair of Jabra Elite 85t earbuds for well over 4 years now and they’ve been an outstanding earbud. In particular, the ability scan your inner ear to create a completely custom sound profile is gives you a great sound experience. Not to mention the extremely comfortable oval-shaped earbud tips that conform well to the shape of most ear canals, and mine. The Steelseries Gamebuds don’t seem to have inherited any of the Jabra design philosophy. The sound quality absolutely pales in comparison to the Elite 85t. The built in microphone is the WORST I have EVER experienced from an earbud. I get regular complaints about a muffled/gravel-like voice from colleagues in online meetings and friends while gaming and taking phone calls. These problems persist across Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz wireless, regardless of audio settings in the Steelseries sonar app (PC) and mobile app. In short, these earbuds are a far cry from the Jabra buds I’ve grown to like and are not worth the insane price tag associated with them (which may explain the recent trend of discounts). In addition to all this, the narrow driver port makes the typical rounded silicone tips very uncomfortable for long work/game sessions and music listening. The only redeeming feature is that the 2.4Ghz mode has an extremely low latency that is miles beyond any Bluetooth earbud, comparable to the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 over-ear headset that I own. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed by the audio quality and muddy surround-sound while gaming. The microphone quality is worse than my badly damaged iPhone 13 on loudspeaker when standing more than 6ft away from the phone in a quiet room - the analogy being that I expected a dedicated gaming earbud placed 8cm from my mouth to perform better than a damaged mobile phone microphone from 6ft away). Unless my earbud’s microphones are damaged (which I honestly hope is the case) then I seriously cannot recommend these earbuds on any level, not even for casual listening.

Suenan bastante bien, el ANR filtra el ventilador de mi laptop que es el principal motivo de haberlos comprado (pero no es el mejor)… Eso y que no quería unos de diadema! El case se siente barato pero la manera en cómo se acomodan se siente muy bien! Se cargan de manera inalámbrica y por usb C. Las instrucciones de emparejarlos no es muy clara por el tema de la opción de bluetooth y dongle pero logré emparejarlos…. La actualización del firmware es solo por computadora (digo a mi no me molesta xq los uso solo para jugar con la laptop. Las puntas de silicon no me encantaron (acabo de comprar unas de memory foam que espero le queden ya que al momento de quitármelos, la punta del auricular derecho se voltea completamente y se sienten muy delgados… Les compré una funda para proteger el case de rayaduras o caídas y mejoró bastante el feeling.

Yaklaşık 3 haftadır yoğun şekilde kullanıyorum ve artık rahatlıkla söyleyebilirim ki mükemmel bir ürün. Almadan önceki en büyük soru işaretlerim batarya süresi ve oyun performansı üzerineydi ama ikisinde de beklentimin üzerine çıktı. PC başında kesintisiz 10 saat oyun oynama şansım oldu ve bu yetmezmiş gibi 10 saatin ardından yalnızca 15 dakika kutusunda şarj ettikten sonra 70 dakika daha kullanabildim ve hala şarjı vardı. Ayrıca R6 ve Valorant gibi ses kasmanın önemli olduğu FPS oyunlarında da uzun uzun denedim, gerçekten kulaküstü kulaklıklardan farksız. Bunda en önemli etken Steelseries'in kendi yazılımı ki onu da mükemmel yapmışlar. Kolay bir arayüzü var ve gerçekten seçtiğiniz oyuna göre en iyi ayarı yapıyor. Ayrıca 2.4 ghz alıcısıyla inanılmaz bir mesafede kesintisiz çalışıyor, 2 oda uzaktan bile bağlantısı aynen devam ediyor. ANC özelliğini hiç kullanmıyorum; çünkü kulaklık tasarımı sebebiyle kendiliğinden üst düzey bir gürültü engelleme sağlıyor, toplu taşımada kullanırken bile ıssız bir odada dinliyormuşusunuz hissiyatı veriyor. Mikrofonunun oyun için çok zayıf olduğunu zaten herkes söylemiş ama telefonla arama yapmak için gayet yeterli, gürültülü ortamlarda dahi karşıya sesinizi net iletiyor. Sonuç olarak standart oyuncu kulaklıklarından bıkanlar için mükemmel bir ürün, kulaküstünden farksız gerçek bir oyuncu kulaklığı.

Tenía curiosidad por probar unos auriculares in-ear que realmente fueran buenos para jugar, y los SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds X no me han decepcionado. Si buscas algo cómodo, compacto y que además suene genial, aquí tienes una apuesta segura. Lo primero que me sorprendió fue lo bien que se ajustan. Llevan almohadillas de silicona súper cómodas que vienen en 3 tamaños y no molestan ni después de horas jugando. Además, tienen certificación IP55, así que si los usas para algo más que jugar, como salir a correr o viajar, tampoco te preocupes. El audio es lo mejor. Tienen 360° Spatial Audio, así que puedes identificar perfectamente de dónde vienen los sonidos, ya sea en un shooter o en un RPG lleno de detalles. Además, desde la app puedes ajustar el sonido a tu gusto con más de 100 presets diferentes. Tiene doble conectividad: - 2,4 GHz: Ideal para jugar en consola o PC con el dongle USB-C. - Bluetooth 5.3: Perfecto para escuchar música o atender llamadas en el móvil. Cambiar entre dispositivos es súper fácil con un triple toque, algo que valoro mucho porque a veces paso de la consola al móvil en un momento. ¿Y la batería? Hasta 10 horas por carga y 40 horas más con el estuche, que además soporta carga inalámbrica. Unos minutos de carga rápida ya tienes varias horas de uso. Un par de "peros": La cancelación de ruido funciona bien en general, pero no es tan potente como esperaba en ambientes muy ruidosos. Y el estuche de carga... bueno, mejor trátalo con cuidado porque parece algo frágil. En definitiva, son son ideales si quieres algo compacto y funcional para jugar en Xbox o cualquier plataforma. No solo tienen un diseño cómodo, sino que su calidad de audio y conectividad versátil los hacen destacar entre tantos otros. Desde ya, mis in-ear favoritos para jugar.

I was really impressed with these earbuds; they work well overall. *Audio Quality*: The Bluetooth audio quality is great, and I didn’t experience any issues. I watched streams and YouTube videos, including some gaming content, and the audio was impressive—especially with Dolby Atmos. I read an article that claimed SBC could actually outperform AAC in terms of lower latency and better battery life, so I think these buds are better & suited for Android users. *Wireless 2.4 GHz Audio*: At first, the 2.4 GHz wireless connection felt a bit strange, but with Dolby Atmos enabled, the difference was immediately noticeable. I was impressed by how well the earbuds handled ambient sounds, allowing me to hear all the intricate details in the game. I also tried SteelSeries’ 3D audio on my laptop, and it was amazing. I tried to disable Dolby atmos, and enabled the Equalizer on steelseries app. You will notice difference. *Volume Concerns*: Initially, I was worried about the low volume, especially for some games that require higher audio levels. Unfortunately, the 2.4 GHz wireless connection has lower volume than the Bluetooth connection. To fix this, I switched to the “Movie sound mode setting" in Dolby Atmos. You can also customize Dolby Atmos by enabling the “Volume Leveler” and “Surround Virtualizer,” which makes a significant difference. (Note: If you’re using SteelSeries’ app for choosing specific sound equalizer, I recommend leaving the "Dolby Atmos Equalizer" untouched ( for a custom sound ) and just enable "Volume Leveler" for better experience. Also turn off the audio limiter on steelseries application for more volume.) *Noise Cancellation (ANC)*: The ANC isn’t perfect, but it does a good job of reducing background noise in most environments. *Transparency Mode*: The transparency mode is excellent, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings when needed. Note : there's a little noisy buzzing sound when the transparency mode enabled, I switched off every sound mode to get rid of the issue. *Microphone*: I don’t have much to say about the microphone, but it does the job well enough for calls or in-game communication. *Comfort*: The earbuds are comfortable, but after long gaming sessions, you might start to feel them in your ears. *Battery Life*: The battery can handle about 8-9 hours of gaming without all features enabled. With Bluetooth, I think it lasts closer to 9 hours. I haven’t noticed any major issues because I always take breaks, so the battery life has been more than sufficient for me. One thing that bothered me slightly is that sometimes one of the earbuds shows a slight difference in battery life (around 2-3%) compared to the other, which is a little annoying. *Conclusion*: These earbuds are great for daily use and perfect for those who mainly play single-player campaigns (though they’re still good for multiplayer). I chose these earbuds because I’m not a fan of bulky headsets, and I wanted something I could use anytime, anywhere. Big thanks to SteelSeries for delivering on this.

Werkt op ps5, xbox en pc. Geluid is goed, enkel de app dawnloaden is wat wazig. Je moet de app via pc installeren, om je oortjes te kunnen updaten.
