SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds review: It's like having AirPods for your console
Dec 31, 2024
If you've been looking for AirPods-like convenience for your console of choice, we've got good news – the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds offer just what you're looking for
When AirPods first launched, they were memed to high heaven but if you've been on a bus, train, or to an airport recently there's a good chance you've seen plenty of people using them.
Apple's nifty buds have helped popularise 'truly wireless' audio, even if some other brands do it just as well (or better), but gaming is starting to get in on the act, too.
While a few manufacturers (including Sony) have been giving gamers fantastic audio quality in a diminutive design, I've been testing the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds for a few weeks now and I think they might be the best of the bunch. In fact, it'll take some convincing to go back to a standard headset.

Small but mighty

If you've been using any earbuds in the last few years, you'll likely have a good idea of what to expect when opening up the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds.
They come in a pocketable case (although not as small as some non-gaming options) which acts as a portable charger, and they also have a slot for the USB-C dongle that connects them to your system of choice.
Each bud can be used on their own, and there are a variety of eartips to not only maximise comfort, but also to prevent a more secure seal. That's important for the Arctis Gamebuds' noise cancellation feature, but I'll come to that shortly.
