SteelSeries Arctis Wireless GameBuds For PS5 - White

Great fit, love the physical buttons

I tried several earbuds over the years, but these were the best fitting ones (and most comfortable ones) by far. They hold extremely well, never dropped them without any outside influence. The sound is pretty good, although they aren't the best on the market. No complains here. The app is well designed and easy to use, the 2.4GHz receiver makes switching devices simple and works well (I prefer using BT with my smartphone and the receiver with switch or laptop) and one of the biggest advantages are the physical buttons. They are great when riding a bike - no more accidental pausing when wearing a helmet or a raincover (which happened a lot for me with touch control earbuds) and easier usage with gloves on. Overall I can fully recommend and use them a lot for gaming or when cycling to work, I don't see any reason to change anytime soon.

Great sound quality and features

I bought these about a month ago and have been using them every day since. The main reason I bought them was for the ease of use and because my old headsets kept giving me headaches and were quite uncomfortable. I use them for gaming and the sound quality is amazing, better than my old headset. I use the app for the game sound presets and it works really well. The mic quality is really good for earbuds and the noise isolation is a game changer. I’ve also used them while on my phone watching shows etc. and it has held up really well. I haven’t had any issues with battery even though I’ve only charged the case up a few times. I would highly recommend these game buds if you are looking for an alternative for a headset for gaming or even every day use.

Great in ear buds for the PS5

These are amazing earbuds I was getting too hot with headphones while playing games. These are a great alternative to overear headphones and have great noise cancellation with 360° spacial audio. Easy to swap between PS5 and phone audio Also there is a place in the charging case to put the Bluetooth adaptor when not in use (great idea) so you dont lose jt

Your heads not squashed like big headsets do

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, so I play pc with games like call of duty ( COD ), battlefield and forza horizon just to name a few of the vast variety of games that I play. Even farm simulator 25.! I currently use ‘turtle beach stealth 600 gen 3 ‘ for gaming and when I was offered the chance to try the “ steelseries Arctis game buds “ I jumped at the chance. Setting up the game buds properly and downloading the app and going through all the settings took me about 30 mins. Now yeah okay that seems like a long time but i didn’t want to throw them in my ear an play games. The apps great some many setting to enhance the game buds, even dedicated settings for games so the game buds will be optimised for that specific game! Cool feature that! I like!! The simplistic instructions on the box I loved. no sifting through ‘manuals’ because we all hate that!! The biggest win for me is that these game buds are in ear, meaning no big clunky headset squeezing your head. And over a period of time your head really notices it.. whilst iv been playing AAA games with these game buds I don’t notice that I have them in. There really comfy.! All in all I’ve ditched the turtle beaches for these! The steelseries Arctis game buds really are worth the money!

So comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These game buds are easy to use and comfortable, and connection is straightforward too . They fit well into my ears and mean that I can game in peace with no distractions . They have noise cancelling, which works well to help my concentration, and the sound quality is fab!

Sound quality is amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used on a PC for gaming as they have a PC and Xbox switch. My brother said the sound quality is amazing and they fit so snug in his ears without hurting. Battery life is great and they look discreet instead of being bulky like over the head ones. Amazing he said.

Great Sound, Comfort, Customisation!

My AirPods conked out and so had been eyeing the Arctis Gamebuds as an alternative for everyday use, with the added benefit that I wanted to use my PS5 without having to wear over ear headphones or speakers (I still do but having a third more comfortable, cooler [temp] option is awesome). The EQ setting are great and you do notice the difference between setting and games. The sound is amazing, either when gaming or listening to music, additionally, being able to switch between Bluetooth and 2.4 mode with a button press is great, super easy and convenient. They have surprisingly good noise suppression when fitted (without ANC - see below) due to the way they fit and the transparency mode is very good in my opinion. The mic is okay, but good enough by standard of earphones. Extra points I forgot to mention: they look great and have amazing battery life. I’ve had them like a month and only had to charge the case twice or three times, with pretty good usage on them. Now my experience of these is that they are amazing, and I’ll use them everyday for music and gaming. But I must offer some criticism, and hopefully so it is considered for improvements: 1. The ANC mode is terrible, I never use it, the noise suppression is better without ANC on, it creates an annoying buzz noise and ruins sound (sorry - I know that’s harsh but it’s true) 2. The EQ’s don’t update to include new games and instead have to be downloaded from the internet… BUT I can’t do it because I don’t own a windows laptop… why is this a thing? Just update them into the app. Very easy fix. It’s missing big games that have come out recently as a result. 3. The case is a bit too big to go in jean pockets or short pockets but tbh this isn’t a huge deal.

Unmatched Wireless GameBuds – SteelSeries Delivers

I’ve tried several wireless gaming earbuds over the years, and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova GameBuds are by far the best. From the moment I unboxed them, I could tell these were built with both gamers and audiophiles in mind. The design is sleek, premium, and surprisingly comfortable even during marathon gaming sessions. Audio quality? Phenomenal. The spatial sound is rich and immersive, whether I’m diving into FPS battles or exploring open-world RPGs. Explosions thump with weight, footsteps are pinpoint accurate, and the balance between highs, mids, and bass is excellent. These truly deliver the "Arctis" signature sound profile in a compact form. What really sets them apart is low-latency performance. Whether I'm on PC, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, or even mobile, there's no audio lag, thanks to the dual wireless (2.4GHz and Bluetooth) capability. Switching between devices is seamless, and the multi-platform support is a huge win. The microphone also performs surprisingly well for earbuds. It’s crisp, clear, and holds up in competitive voice chat. Plus, the charging case is compact and stylish, offering plenty of extra juice without being bulky. In short: the Arctis Nova GameBuds are a must-have for any gamer who wants the freedom of earbuds without sacrificing quality or competitive performance. SteelSeries nailed it.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to be able to test out this. At first I was struggling to get them to stay in my ears without falling out but after only a few attempts they fitted perfectly (I think I was putting them in at an angle). The sound these buds produce is amazing, I’ve used them for my phone mainly, however my brother tried them out with his PS5 and he said these were the best gaming buds he has ever used! It blocks out the background noise so you can really focus on what you’re listening to. The battery life lasts so long and you don’t need to charge them that often, even when using them to play your game and to use the microphone to talk to your friends. I would definitely recommend these gaming buds!
