Easy to set up ans the sound quality is fantastic.
I bought my first pair last year and thoroughly enjoyed them. I enjoy have the ear buds because it doesn't make my head feel heavy or place pressure on my temples or ears. They are quite durable and last a good and long time. Quite frankly, I do not plan on buying another headset. It is gaming buds for me.

Connection Frustration
I got these to connect with my new Xbox, and it's a battle every time I use them to get them to connect. I have no clue how to get them to connect consistently. I feel just like I'm doing magic and just hoping something will work.

Comfortable and clear audio
I got these about a month ago, use them mostly with my PC when I get headset fatigue. Audio is great and the buds themselves are comfortable. I also use them with my phone using the Bluetooth function and have not have any problem with them so far.

Not user friendly, don’t recommend.
Bought in December, they arrived a couple days after. They need a firmware update. Can you update them on the phone app? Nope. You have to get your LAPTOP?! To download another program to update. Ridiculous.
The app is cumbersome and doesn’t offer enough features. Can’t adjust the game to party chat volume. The presets for the games are just gimmicks.

Good choice for everything
I grabbed these a few weeks ago as an alternative to my over ear headsets and it's been a good purchase. The fit is good and doesn't randomly fall out, they're not too bulky or too lightweight. I also use them at work and they last all day, so they're also good for music. My only complaint is that the battery in the case seems to deplete quickly, but that could be based...

Niche but awesome.
Having owned many different over-ear/in-ear, wired/wireless, multi-platform & proprietary headsets for 20~ years, I can say the Arctis Gamebuds fill a gap in the market many companies have failed to create.
Sound quality is amazing whether Bluetooth or 2.4 Ghz, though 2.4 does have a slight edge on depth and breathe of sound. ANC or transparency mode are what you’d e...

Beat my expectations
Sound quality is very, very good. I don’t love the mic for people on the other end. Case lid feels a little fragile. Very easy to set up and Sonar integration is nice.

Really great headset!!
Bought these a couple months ago and can honestly say the sound quality is up there. Easy to pair, monitor and then charge. The only thing that’s a slight gripe but no issue is that any software updates have to be done via a desktop and can’t be done through the app.

Very nice
Really high-quality in-ear headphones. Excellent audio with various equalizer presets with the possibility of customization. Excellent microphone, my teammates can hear me well. Plug and play, no problem for my Xbox to recognize them. The ability to update the firmware on both Macos and Windows is good.

Very good headset, but...
I'm using the headset daily for about 2 weeks now.
In principle, I am very satisfied with the product.
However, there is one drawback.
When ANC is activated, I hear unpleasant noises in the left earbud as soon as the environment is quiet.
The voice quality is also excellent. Callers can hear me very clearly even when it is noisy around me.

Pretty Good at Less Than Full Price
I had the Razer wireless earbuds and wanted to try the Arctis GameBuds since I wasn't too happy with the Razer ones. The Arctic GameBuds still do not reliably connect to my Xbox every time which was the biggest problem with the Razer ones. The Arctic GameBuds sound quality and ANC are better though, which is great. I find the Arctis GameBuds to be more comfortable too. ...

Great on the go
I got these to use on my ally or Z13 when working away but have used them for several hours at home on a desktop and I am very surprised how good they sound. Not sure about the mic yet as not tried FPS online with them yet but for single player games they are shockingly good. Battery is decent too

Sound amazing
They sound amazing with the different audio options for hundreds of games and even music. Being able to switch from Console audio to your phone audio quickly sure helps

Great for glasses wearers
Really happy with my purchase. Great sounding and a great fit for my ears. Especially comfortable as I wear glasses and most headphones don’t consider them

Incredible sound
I bought these about a month ago due to the fact I was sick and tired of the over-the-ear gaming headset. So glad that they've come out with earbuds that sound every bit as good as the over-the-ear and also have active noise cancelation. The transparency mode and other modes that they provide are also very nice. It took a little getting used to as far as what side you p...

Great sound. Glasses wearer friendly!
I wear glasses and wanted something that didn't press against my head. This is the clear winner.
