SteelSeries is currently offering a significant discount on their Arctis GameBuds, with prices dropping from $200 to $148 ahead of Prime Day 2025. These earbuds are praised for their universal compatibility, making them suitable for all major consoles, PC, and mobile devices.
Officially licensed by Xbox, the Arctis GameBuds were designed with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows users in mind but also support PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and any device with Bluetooth audio capabilities. This versatility is complemented by dual connection options—2.4GHz and Bluetooth.
The GameBuds come with several noteworthy features, including:
- Compact design with various silicone eartip sizes
- 2.4GHz wireless with USB-C dongle
- Bluetooth 5.3 for stable connections
- 360-degree spatial audio
- Active noise cancellation
- Customizable EQ settings via the SteelSeries Arctis Companion App
- Impressive battery life: 10 hours on a single charge, with an additional 40 hours when using the charging case
The current price is the best deal since their launch, especially following a recent price increase to $200 due to economic factors. Other SteelSeries headsets are also seeing discounts, with models like the Arctis Nova 7X available for $146, which is down from $200.
For those seeking alternatives, Sony’s Inzone Buds are also on sale for $158, offering strong active noise cancellation but without the versatility of the GameBuds. For budget-conscious gamers, the Asus ROG Cetra Wireless Earbuds are priced at $70, lacking noise cancellation features but compatible across various platforms.
Overall, these discounts present a great opportunity for gamers looking to upgrade their audio experience. You can view the discounted Arctis GameBuds and other SteelSeries products here.
