SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds: Two-minute review
The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds might be thebest gaming earbudsIve ever tested.
They are truly impressive and are one of the easiest recommendations Ill ever make.
Theyre lightweight too, and the touchpad makes for easy control.
The case is also compact and can easily slip into a pocket neatly.
Caveats and negatives are few and far between on the whole.
However, beyond that, theres very little to detract from the GameBuds performance in any way.
Teaming this with Bluetooth 5.3 rounds out a robust pairing of wireless connections.
I was even nicely surprised by the amount, quality, and depth of bass.
This default audio quality is made better with the Arctis Companion App.
The mic is pretty good too, for some earbuds at least.
Should you buy the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds?
If you only need something cheap to go multiplatform then a wired set might be best for you.
