SteelSeries - Arctis GameBuds for Xbox

Thank you for this! Been on the fence for awhile, but bit the bullet and ordered:)

Love them! Quality of sound is great, I do struggle a little in COD tho. Other than that, perfect

Came to say this. Amazing Earbuds for the money. They were on sale a week ago. Might still be

First of all, thank you for posting here and for being willing to help and provide answers. My journey has unfortunately been quite challenging, and any support you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I used the Nova Pro Wireless for two full years. I disliked the microphone but loved the battery system (similar to what I have with my Shark vacuum and Ring doorbell, haha), as well as the transparency mode(used to have it on like almost maxed out), since I need to be aware of my surroundings-taking care of mom. I also appreciated the ability to connect via both Bluetooth and the dongle simultaneously. Then, I bought a used Maxwell because it was very affordable and used it for about nine months. However, the microphone was almost as poor as the Nova's, and it didn’t support simultaneous Bluetooth connections. Half a year ago, I purchased the A50 Gen 5, but I still miss the Nova Pro Wireless because of its excellent battery system, transparency mode, and the ability to mix Bluetooth and dongle connections at the same time. Currently, I’ve returned to using the Maxwell due to the capability to have the earcup's microphones to act as a transparency mode with sidetone functionality on a very sensitive level (currently on 80%) I even tried the SteelSeries Gamebuds, which also feature transparency mode and sidetone, but unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with them as they feel unbaked I would be super grateful if you could do a side-by-side transparency-mode test of the new Elite headset versus the Maxwell on 70-80% sidetone to see which one is 'better' and louder. I find the Audeze Maxwell to be quite little too sensitive, but I like how loud it does it so it can get just as loud as watching a youtube vid in normal volume. EDIT: I HAVE THE SAME ANKER CUBE AND ITS LOVELY Thanks and god bless

I have the Steel Series Arctis Gamebuds and Wartapes V.A.L is the way to go. I have a custom EQ on them as well that brings out a little more bass from gunfire and explosions and it makes it wonderfully chaotic.

I'm sitting about 10 feet from my 65" tv while using them (I do have the dongle connected to a rear USB port on my Series X using the short USB cable it came with and have it routed so it is peeking out from the top of the console due to my cord management OCD issues and not wanting it dangling out of the front USB port) and mine connects fine with no issues. I have not tried it with the dongle hidden behind the console yet.

I just have the white version. This sound great to me when adjusting eq settings but the default is even better than my Galaxy buds pro lol. They are so comfortable for longer use and they won't fall off even when running. Batter is really great as well. Just getting used to the buttons compared to soft touch. Overall, I loved it.

My favorite higher end for sound quality, build quality, ANC/transparency, features, and mic quality? AKG N5 Hybrid. My favorite mid-range all around? Probably Steelseries Gamer Buds Artic X. Another good all-around are the Jlab Epic Lab. Let me know if you want them, I'm trying to sell them and I can post them on hardware swap. Best deal? Sony Inzone buds. I think you can still find these used for under $60, sometimes under $50. I wouldn't spend a full $200 price for brand new though. Best budget? Anker P10. New they are around $60, used they are around $30.

Back when I was researching them the Arctis game buds were the only wireless earbuds that had noise cancellation. I’m pretty happy with them. Wish I could just use my AirPods Pro with it though or any Bluetooth device.

Huge congrats! I had the Arctis 9X since launch (middle of 2019 I believe) and just recently had to lay them to rest (hinge on ear cup snapped). Ever since then I have missed having a SteelSeries headset, but the other day I saw the Arctis Gamebuds were heavily discounted for prime day, so I snagged a pair and have been super happy so far! Like most anything there will be negative reviews, but me personally I have never had an issue with anything from SteelSeries. The quality is there along with exceptional sound. Enjoy the new headset!

I use the steel series arctis gamebuds. They have a dongle (no sound delay) but also bluetooth mode (slight sound delay). Sound quality and active noise cancellation are both quite good
