Arctis GameBuds for Xbox/PC/PS5/Switch/Mobile — Quick-Switch 2.4GHz + Bluetooth 5.3 — Active Noise Cancelling — Mobile App w/Sound Presets — Water Resistant IP55 — 40H Battery with Qi Charging Case

Had them for some time now and they’re great. Battery is eh to be honest. I should also note that they won’t connect with my Xbox whatsoever so I’m almost certain they’re defective in that area cause I got some other ones that worked no problem, so this review is about using them as every day earbuds. As every day earbuds they work great. I have small ear canals or whatever so most earbuds hurt when I use them or use them for an extended time like AirPods but these fit so nice and comfortably and the audio is great plus the mic on it is really great. When taking or making calls no one ever has any trouble hearing me. So 10/10 as a product as a whole but a 3/10 for the ones I physically received since they won’t connect.

This is for potential buyers, as I'm sure this company doesn't need my review, but these headphones are incredible. I did a bit of research looking for some 3D audio gaming buds while using my Legion Go, and I'm beyond thrilled I got these. Not sure where to begin. So many great features between the ANC and transparency modes, these can cancel out some real noise. I work in a noisy environment and had no problem hearing everything going on in Call of Duty. Usually footsteps would be muffled and drowned out by the noise but the ANC is next level. The quick tap features allow for switching between ANC/ Transparency modes or Bluetooth and the 2.4hz connector flawlessly. I can go from gaming and waiting in a lobby to watching something on my phone to pass time without a hitch. The battery is also insane. I played for a solid hour with ANC on and the battery only got to 88%! I'm tempted to use these for my console gaming, they're that good. I haven't even scratched the surface of the app features. I would highly recommend these for gaming and everything in general. The charging case is very minimal and ease to pocket. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

Avoid! I don't understand all of the praise for these. I had nothing but issues from the start. You must use a companion app to do anything. The app doesn't work. Look at the app reviews, really bad. The sound sounds like it is filtered through a pillow. Around the 6th time using them the left ear bud made a loud noise then stopped working. These are a frustrating waste. Do not buy, you will be disapointed. Big let down.

Ok so these buds are nice. They fit well in my ears and feel comfortable. Sound quality is ok. The ANC isn’t the best. I can hear some background noise when it’s silent.The dongle works very well. No lag at all. I’ve used the dongle on an Xbox series S and have no issues when it come to gameplay and chat.I also tried to connect to a Nintendo Switch. No issues when it come to gameplay but there is no chat available.I’ve been using the soundcore vrp10 and while playing Fortnite I am able to chat with team no issues.The same goes for the PrismXR earbuds. No issues.Very disappointed that these Gamebuds by a very well known headset maker wouldn’t have a way to get this issues resolved.Software, steelseries. Gg, is easy to use on both PC and mobile.

I took a chance on these and while I will say I have had a much more positive experience with them than most reviews, these earbuds were literally THEE most complicated and confusing electronic product I've ever had to sync or connect to in my entire life.First connecting them to my laptop to get them updated, there's nothing on the arctis site that tells you which computer app to download, I had to search in Google for which version of the seven different computer apps I needed to download. Then connecting them to my computer was a nightmare just trying to connect them with the USB didnt work and it required the dongle, syncing with the dongle; it was a mess and took about 20 min before it finally worked and I could update the firmware.Then syncing them with my phone, another nightmare as you try to sync them in the case and it shows that it connects with your phone for a brief moment before disconnecting, did that for about 15 minutes before I took them out of the case and they just connected right away. Nothing in the box or anything telling you how to do this, this was my own troubleshooting that I eventually figured out.Lastly connecting to my Xbox which I thought would be the easiest part with the dongle. You would think it would just be a plug, switch to xbox on the dongle and it would automatically connect but no, you have to sync with the xbox as well and waiting for them to sync, the dongle and the earbuds flashed that they were syncing for probably five minutes. I was literally 10 seconds away from calling it and sending them back......but, they eventually connected. I gamed with them, was in a party and everything sounded good. My buddy said they didn't sound bad at all, that it was a little muffled but not terrible by any means. Shifting the earbuds around helped the muffling as the mic I think was pressed against a part of my ear. The sound quality for me is amazing.I'm not a competitive gamer who relies on my mic to be lightning quick responsive or anything, I'm just a dude who enjoys gaming and hanging out in a party with my buddies and playing VG's. I bought these because I was tired of my turtle beaches giving me headset hair and cutting me off from my family when I wore them. These Gamebuds are comfy, allow for me to still hear my family and are exactly what I was looking for.They were just an absolute pain. In. The. A** to get connected. So 4 out of 5 for me. For now..
