Review: Great Portable Gaming Headset. - I picked up these earbuds because I was looking for a portable wireless gaming headset solution that would retain the full quality audio quality while being in a voice chat or Discord call. These earbuds totally hit that mark. I normally use bluetooth headphones that while sounding good when playing something solo, if I get into a call or play a game where the mic is active, the sound quality of any bluetooth headphones goes way down to being almost un-usable. With these earbuds, you can play a game and hear your buddies without a compromise to sound quality! From my experience, they are decently comfortable. I'm not a fan of in-ear, earbuds like these. I can generally wear them for about 2-3 hours before I need a break. I prefer the comfort of Airpods Pro/Bose QC Ultra/AirpodsGen3s much better to these. Even with the smallest tips, I get some fatigue in my ear canals. With that being said, the ANC is pretty low. It might be adding a little bit of cancelation, but you're likely to get the same cancelation because these block your ear canals. Nothing close to Bose or Apple's ANC. The transparency mode is decent. My main annoyance with transparency on these is they have a constant hiss. Seems like you are outside with a constant low breeze in your ears. You can kind of place things in the room, but its no where near Apples transparency mode. I would give it a functional rating. You can carry on a conversation without having to pull out a bud. With Apple's AirPod Pros however, I feel that there is no loss of hearing. Those feel like you don't have anything blocking your ears. Good to have, but not up to par with premium bluetooth headphone offerings if you were hoping to replace those. Now for call quality. The mics are definitely really good for sitting at your desk. People usually say that I sound better than my built-in laptop mic. But not better than my Yeti mic. These aren't super good when you are moving around. Once you start moving around they seem to block out your voice or make you sound far away as you move your head. That being said, because you are using a dongle, these offere a really low latency signal, with minimal quality loss. This I would say are the biggest strength of these earbuds. Now for the subject of audio quality. When playing games, the audio quality is pretty good. I was able to place enemy movement around me when playing Hell Divers 2. I also did enjoy the cinematic feel of Final Fantasy 16. The audio quality for music I would say is decent. Its definitely not as good as my Bose QC Ultras. One song I used for direct comparison, was Persona 5's Beneath The Mask (Rain Edition). With the Bose headphone, I was able to pick up the strumming of the guitar, and place each instrument as it game into the song in the room. Each strum I felt I was able to make out the picking of each chord from the guitar. With the Steelseries buds, it seems that as more instruments came into the song, I lost quality of any instrument that was already playing in the track. The little details became harder to discern and the overall sound while not bad, became more muddied out. If you don't listen to music nearly that closely, you probably will find these great with Punchy preset. But for me it was definitely a big hit to quality in comparison to my current daily driver headphones. For me these were purchased to serve one purpose. To have a set of gaming headphones that kept higher quality game sound while being on a call. I am very happy with the functionality that these bring for that. I suspect that if you don't have any headphone you use on the daily, you can probably pick these up and be happy. They are definitely a really versatile set of earbuds that specialize in Gaming. TL:DR If you already have some Sony/Apple/Bose headphone you use regularly, these are not going to be a great replacement for those. The strength is solely a gaming headset. If you don't have those type of headphones, or are looking for only gaming headphones, you won't be disappointed with this set.
Review: Perfect If You Want Your Gaming and Music to Sound Like a Tin Can and Fishing Line - I wanted to love these. My first pair sounded absolutely horrible, with ZERO response under around 1000hz. I returned those as defective and got brand new replacements. But after testing across three devices (PC via dongle, Mac via dongle, and iPhone via Bluetooth), the experience is identical: The sound has an extreme high-pass characteristic — everything below ~1 kHz feels gutted. • Voices sound thin, papery, and hollow. • Explosions and ambient game audio have no body whatsoever. • Music is unlistenable — worse than a cheap 1980s landline telephone. • Even after adjusting EQ, switching presets, disabling features, and testing before and after updating firmware, nothing fixes it. • The Bluetooth mode reproduces the exact same issues, which confirms this is not a dongle, driver, or PC problem. These aren’t “not audiophile.” These sound outright broken - LITERALLY broken. I own and regularly use other SteelSeries products, including the Nova Pro line, and they’re excellent. But whatever tuning choice was made for these earbuds renders them nearly unusable for anyone who wants anything beyond directional footstep cues. What makes this more frustrating: I wanted these for competitive gaming. I wanted the low latency wireless mode. I wanted the convenience. But the audio quality is so heavily stripped of low and mid frequencies that basic dialogue in games or videos sounds like it’s coming out of a clock radio submerged in a cereal bowl. Or if this is a manufacturing problem, both pairs, new and sealed in box, that I tried, suffered from the same thing. So this defect is across an entire manufacturing batch. In either case, these are a HARD PASS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Gaming Earbuds With Some Trade-Offs
*by T***S on September 29, 2025*

Solid Gaming Earbuds With Some Trade-Offs I’ve spent some time with the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds, and they deliver on their promise of being a true gaming-first pair of earbuds. The big win here is the 2.4GHz dongle connection, which makes a huge difference compared to standard Bluetooth. Audio is lag-free, voices in Discord are clear, and games like Call of Duty or Helldivers 2 feel responsive without the usual wireless delay. QuickSwitch between 2.4GHz and Bluetooth is seamless, so swapping from console to mobile is easy. Sound Quality: For gaming, the directional audio is strong enough to pick out footsteps and environmental cues. For music, they’re fine but not outstanding; details tend to blur together, especially compared to higher-end Bose or Sony buds. If you’re a casual listener, they’ll be more than good enough; audiophiles may want something else. Comfort & Fit: Lightweight and secure, but not the most comfortable for marathon sessions. After 2-3 hours, I find myself needing a break. They’re bulkier than AirPods or Sony buds, so if you want a super-low profile, keep that in mind. Noise Cancelling & Transparency: ANC works, but it isn’t anywhere near Bose or Apple levels. It’s enough to dull background noise (like an AC unit), but don’t expect silence. Transparency mode is functional but comes with a faint hiss, good enough for a quick conversation without removing the buds, but not natural-sounding. Battery & Features: Battery life is excellent, easily lasting through long sessions with the charging case pushing up to 40 hours. Wireless Qi charging is a nice premium touch. The SteelSeries GG app offers plenty of EQ presets for different games, which is a fun extra. Mic quality is decent at a desk, better than built-in laptop mics, but not on the level of a dedicated microphone. Build Quality: The earbuds themselves feel solid, but the case is plasticky and not very premium. Bottom Line: If you’re mainly buying for gaming performance, these are an excellent pick: zero lag, easy setup, versatile across platforms, and strong battery life. Just don’t expect them to fully replace high-end music earbuds or noise-cancelling headphones. Great gaming earbuds with unique features, but not perfect for audiophiles or ANC fans.
