SteelSeries has launched gaming earbuds that work on PC, PlayStation , Xbox , Nintendo Switch , and more.

The Arctis GameBuds include active noise cancellation, a wireless charging case, and a mobile app that has custom EQ settings for a variety of games.

The audio quality is good for $ 159.99 , but they're nowhere near as good as Apple ’s AirPods Pro or the Bose earbud.

SteelSeries' GameBuds are comfortable, sound good, and offer great game presets that you won’t find on other earbuds.

The Xbox version is the same price but includes an additional chip to adhere to Microsoft ’s security policies.

SteelSeries claims battery life comes close to matching the 10 hours SteelSeries advertises.

The only issues I ran into were related to video calls.
