Arctis GameBuds for Xbox - Wireless Gaming Earbuds - 2.4GHz + BT 5.3 - ANC/Transparency - IP55 Water Resistant - 40H Battery - Wireless Charging - Xbox, PC, Switch 2, PS5, Mobile - Black

I bought these after using a set of Astro A50’s for a number of years. I bought these as I was struggling to hear footsteps etc when gaming (probably my age) and wanted to try less bulky in ear setup. The sound quality is superb as is the build quality and comfort of using them in ear. The charging case wouldn’t sync when used with the supplied cable which is disappointing, but once I tried a different cable the setup was straight forward. Very happy with these earbuds, but the built in mic is not good for gaming and talking in Discord etc so I’ve paired these with a separate mic. The downside of this is I can no longer hear myself in the earbuds and find myself shouting a fair bit when gaming. I’m not sure if there’s a soloution to this but I can put up with it. I can hear so much more detail when using these for gaming than the Astro’s and they are fine for listening to music etc on my phone and I like the less bulky feeling of these in ear buds compared to a normal style gaming headset. Plus they take up a lot less space on my desk. I’ve used them for many gaming sessions so far and never had them go flat. I think the price which is about half what I paid for my Astro’s is about right for a good quality set of earbuds. Even buying a separate mic plus the cost of these is cheaper than a set of Astro’s etc. I did have a random issue when playing ABI when the left earbud constantly kept disconnecting and then reconnecting but this seems to have disappeared after software updates and hasn’t been evident once since in any scenario I’ve used these in. The software that comes with these is excellent and comes with presets for tons of games. I’d definitely recommend these for anyone wanting a good set of in ear gaming buds.

I think people are being a bit unfair here and it almost put me off. I've been debating these for a while as I prefer buds to headsets but there aren't many 'gaming' options. I used a mix of the arctis nova pro headset and beats studio + buds. However, my friends were always complaining about the mic on the buds and the headset gives me headache when worn for extended periods of time (which is fairly common for gamers). These seem to bridge the gap nicely. The sound is good! I'm no audiophile so I'm not really clued up on sound quality. But to the average ear, they sound great on both 2.4 and Bluetooth. I was a little disappointed that they don't do Bluetooth and 2.4 together like the headset but I guess that's due to the size difference between the two limiting the amount of tech that can be crammed in. Comfort is mixed... So yes, the buds are comfortable. They are fairly weighty for buds but you can't tell due to the design and how they sit in the ear. However, the tips are atrocious lol. They are flimsy and don't block sound well at all. Maybe I was spoiled with my beats buds. But the material was much thicker and they feel lodged in your ear. These sit in the ear and don't fall out but it isn't the tightest fit. So even when I turn on noise cancelling, I can still hear noise (I can't on the beats). I don't know if it's possible but if anyone can recommend replacements, I'd appreciate it lots - currently looking myself but not sure what would fit as my beats ones don't. Battery is great. I've barely charged them and I've used them heavily for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully they won't degrade too much over time. The case is nice although a battery indicator would've been nice. Software - There is an app and a desktop app that basically do the same thing. Exactly what you'd expect (EQ, profiles etc). It's ok. I've waffled on for long enough so a quick pros and cons.. Cons - TIPS. Really not a fan and they drag the overall experience down. Range - I can walk around my flat with the beats buds and the headset but these struggle as soon as I leave the room. Lack of battery indicator - sounds small but I've no idea where they're up to. Pros - great sound. Apparently the mic is good. They look nice (went for white for a change). Fairly comfortable - no fatigue after long sessions like the headset. Battery life is excellent - beats the.. beats lol. Whilst I'm disappointed they don't do 2.4 and Bluetooth simultaneously, I do appreciate that they have both (3 taps to switch between). I'll update if I find a tip alternative as that will fix my biggest issue (obviously won't affect score as it's not in the box)

Been using this for 4-5 months now and I have no regrets connects to bluetooth with my phone and mac seemlessly and sounds amazing, microphone quality is actually quite good for earbuds and their compactness makes them to daily drive easier and I prefer earbuds because I got headset bumps from regular headphones so its quite easy to use, The app is also very easy to navigate, when you use it on ps5 make sure to select the game preset on the app for the game your playing as it makes it much more immersive and gives an advantage for games like fortnite or COD. You get loads of different ear tips in the box that can fit anyones ears. Overall I highly recommend these if you use a ps5 and other devices.

Good

Terrible in my experience anyway. Worked great for 2 weeks, sound got distorted then. Bought a €5 pair off temu and used them ever since. Trying these again. Take the temu pair over these any day.

Necesitaba unos auriculares gaming para cualquier plataforma: si me llevo el portátil para jugar con amigos, o bien si quiero estar en la cama con la Switch 2, necesitaba unos auriculares con cancelación de sonido y que se pudieran llevar fácilmente. Y a ser posible que fueran bastante multiplataforma. También era importante el tema que no fueran Bluetooth, o mejor dicho, que se pudieran conectar con un dongle para evitar problemas de latencia (ya que los que usaba, eran Bluetooth y había una latencia más que considerable, con lo cual en FPS se nota bastante si escuchas pasos o alguien que se acerca). Tras leer muchas reviews, me decanté por estos. Tenía dudas acerca de la versión que comprar (blancos, negros, versión Playstation, versión Xbox). Y un poco lo que he visto es lo siguiente: - La versión Playstation funciona para PC, Playstation, Switch 2. - La versión Xbox funciona para los anteriores sistemas y además para Xbox. Estos, en el dongle, tienen un interruptor para elegir si queremos usarlos en Xbox o en los otros sistemas. Principalmente mi miedo era si funcionarían con la Switch 2. Y sí, puedo decir que los versión Playstation, funcionan con Switch 2 y PC que es con lo que lo uso. Y funcionan MUY bien! Son pequeños, cómodos, fáciles de transportar. La caja es elegante, y aunque se resbala fácilmente de las manos, con un poco de cuidado lo tenemos solucionado. Decir que son cómodos. Parece que no los lleves puestos, apenas pesan, y tras sesiones de un par de horas de juego, no notas dolor o molestia alguna (al menos en mi caso). La calidad de sonido, muy bien. Teniendo en cuenta que son unos earbuds, tenemos que ser realistas y saber en qué terreno se mueven. Disponen de una app en el móvil la cual nos permite tocar algunos parámetros (ecualización, modo de uso, límite de volumen, etc..). Decir que por probar, conecté el adaptador al puerto USB-C del teléfono y lo detecta, como podéis ver en las imágenes de la aplicación. También tenemos un gran listado de ecualización con ajustes optimizados según el juego (se puede ver en la foto). En el momento de hacer este análisis hay 261 juegos. Si lo preferimos, podemos elegir nuestro estilo personal de ecualización. La cancelación de sonido es buena, no excelente. Eso quiere decir que en entornos ruidosos seguiremos escuchando ese ruido de fondo. En cualquier caso, normalmente juego en casa y es un entorno bastante tranquilo por lo que activo la cancelación por defecto para centrarme más en el juego. Estoy realmente encantado con ellos. Funcionan perfectamente. La calidad de sonido es muy buena y lo mejor, para mi, son la ausencia de latencia y la comodidad al usarlos. Los recomiendo, sí, al 100%. Son pequeños, fácilmente transportables. Eso sí, entiendo que el precio, puede ser una limitación y que para muchos, por este mismo precio, elegirán unos auriculares grandes. Sin embargo, en mi caso, preferí decantarme por estos ya que me resultan más cómodos y se transportan fácilmente.

the sound in it is decent but when I use the ANC and noise control I got distortion and cracking sounds I tried every thing to fix it but there is no fix for it, so I googled it and I found out thats everyone have the same problem and the fix for it is turning off ANC, it is one of the features for this earbuds that is not working correctly. (writing this after 9 months, they didn't fix the problem aslo it does not have good lifespan battery)
