Arctis GameBuds

the microphone started failing on me after a few weeks of use, was perfect at first but not anymore, mic is now trash

Comfort is nice but the mic quality is trash (you literally sound like you are talking into a metal trashcan). Conectivity issues plague it every time you use them (disconnect... reconect... pray a little, pray alot...). And they eventually fail to charge an earbud for no obvious reason. Have used them for a few months now, daily maintenance to clean the case and the earbuds aren't helping.

Bought arctics gamebuds specifically because of this, they have a dongle to hook into your Xbox or PC. I use them at work now too and just move the dongle between work PC and Xbox. They’re great.

Bluetooth is atrocious. It's not just delay of 80ms or so, it's the weird distortion in apps like Bigscreen. It sounds like slow motion audio underwater lol. I tried about 5 sets of buds and headphones/headsets. I don't think the Quest 3 has low latency support like my phone does. What did work for me was a pair of SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds that I sometimes use with my PC. It has a USB C wifi dongle. That works perfectly, so that's what I use. I suspect anything that has a 2.4ghz wifi dongle the Q3 recognizes instead of Bluetooth will work. Can't charge the headset while I'm using them.

I just got mine, and I agree, they are actually awesome. I actually have an Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset that I also love. But I bought the Buds because using headphones for hours is exhausting/painful (even though Steelseries makes some of the most comfortable headsets around). So the buds is a fantastic companion. Can absolutely recommend.

Steelseeries Arctis Buds are great because they come with a usb c adapter but can also use Bluetooth if you’re charging
