SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds review – “Earbuds with the mobile gamer in mind”

by

  • The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds boast a plethora of mobile gaming presets
  • Comfy fit, tactile buttons, and wireless charging to boot
  • Can be pretty pricey if you’re on a budget

As a seasoned gamer who often finds myself juggling between real-life adventures and virtual ones, I can confidently say that the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds have truly revolutionized my mobile gaming experience. The tactile buttons are a godsend for someone like me who struggles with touch controls, and the wireless charging is just the cherry on top.

Could the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds potentially alleviate the discomfort in my ears that I usually experience from wearing earphones during outdoor activities, especially in atmospheric narrative adventures and intense firefights, where music is essential?

SteelSeries is no stranger to all things gaming, which is probably why the Arctis GameBuds are named as they are – after all, why would a gamer need earbuds when you can have “gamebuds” instead?
As for the gamebuds themselves, what I absolutely love about them is that the controls are actual buttons – oh my goodness. I can’t tell you how much I loathe touch controls on earbuds – I simply can’t tap them the right way, and I always end up doing one thing when I mean to do another thing. I blame it on my poor tap-memorisation skills, or maybe I just can’t differentiate a light tap from a long tap.
I’m not an esports player myself, but I can imagine how crucial low latency can be for competitive matches, along with the 30-hour battery life of the charging case. The gamebuds themselves boast ten hours of battery life, which means portability is truly the name of the game here.
, in particular, made me feel like I’m actually inside the Hollows battling the monstrous Corrupted, or strolling through Sixth Street with chill lofi beats in the background.
Overall, the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are a fantastic addition to mobile gaming kits, albeit at a heftier $169.99 price tag. The brand itself is also a bit of a badge of honour if you’re into that kind of thing, and although the Wear Sense tech (which pauses audio when you remove one earbud) is a tad too sensitive for me, you can at least toggle it on or off in the app should you so wish.
