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: Decent earbuds for the price, although you should probably get them on sale. - All around high quality earbuds. My only real gripes are that the case leaves some things to be desired like a hinge mechanism that opens wider and feels less flimsy, and a better magnet. Sound quality, latency, and battery of the earbuds in 2.4Hz and Bluetooth are great, but you are sacrificing audio quality for convenience at a sub $200 price point. I did not test noise cancelling as I personally don't like the resulting drop in overall quality of the listening experience, and my environments never get very loud anyway. Lastly, I'm not really sure how I feel about the physical buttons on the buds rather than touch sensitive alternatives. It could potentially earn 5 stars depending on my long term impressions later on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for office work.
*by B***R on July 28, 2025*

Extremely happy. I bought these for work, actually, and do not use them for gaming. There aren't many 2.4G options in ear buds, and these are certainly the best for my situation - though it may not be yours. I'll explain. I previously used Sony Linkbuds because they are open ear earbuds (maybe the only ones on the market). I appreciate being able to hear my colleagues around me so that we can work or people can get my attention. These Arctis buds retain that transparency even being closed-ear. In fact, the Arctis Gamebuds solve a lot of complaints I had about the Sony Linkbuds - namely battery life and audio delay. In 2.4G mode, delay is an invisible 2ms or so, and the stream appears to be uncompressed at the device's sampling rate of 16bit 48000. The flat sound profile is also exactly what I need for the small amount of basic audio editing I do, and the speaker quality is more than good enough as a middle ground between my desktop monitors and my high-profile headphones. As a work headphone, you do have to install the desktop or mobile app, either one, to set the buttons on the gamebuds up for media consumption, but you can then uninstall the app and the buds will remember the settings. By default, the buds are set up for mic control and noise cancelling, but I swapped the single tap controls to pause and advance media. I'm especially pleased that you can double-tap-and-hold to change volume, which is something most buds don't offer. They're also comfortable enough for a full day of work. Try the small caps they provide, as I was surprised how well they fit. Negatives: ANC is nearly useless on these, like all earbuds, but I don't care because I don't use it (and I want the open-ear transparency as much as I can get, without using the bud's own "transparency" mode with relays outside sound through the buds). You will also note that bluetooth only supports SBC, so while most people will be happy with that an audiophile will very much notice the huge hit of compression artefacting when using bluetooth instead of 2.4G. The 2.4G radio is also not particularly strong, which is common of this technology, so be sure you have a mostly clear line of sight or few metal obstructions. Pairing time on 2.4G is also extremely dependent on that clear line of sight. You may also want to turn off the "auto shutdown" feature on these in an office environment, as you cannot wake the buds without placing them back in their case first.
