SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds® Gaming Earbuds for PlayStation

Gaming earbuds have long been the compromise option — acceptable audio, poor fit, worse mic. The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for PlayStation break that pattern by pairing genuine Active Noise Cancellation with native PS5 spatial audio support, meaning you can block out a noisy flat and still hear enemy footsteps positioned accurately in three-dimensional space. The 2.4GHz wireless dongle handles the low-latency PlayStation connection while Quick-Switch Bluetooth 5.3 lets you flip to your phone mid-session without pulling anything from your ear — a genuinely useful combination that most gaming earbuds skip entirely.

Who Is This For?

This suits PlayStation 5 owners who game in shared spaces — student halls, busy households, open-plan flats — where a full headset feels antisocial or uncomfortable over long sessions. The Qi wireless charging case also makes these a credible travel companion, so commuters who want one pair of earbuds for gaming and daily use will find real value here. If you game exclusively in a quiet room and already own a decent headset, the case for switching is considerably thinner.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the fit security during extended play and the quality of the ANC, which outperforms expectations for earbuds at this price tier. The 100-plus PS5 audio presets via the Arctis Companion App draw particular enthusiasm from people who've previously relied on flat, untuned audio. The most repeated complaint is battery life — 10 hours is respectable but noticeably short against rivals pushing 30-plus hours total with their cases, and the mic quality, while functional, doesn't match what a boom microphone delivers.

The Deal

Currently £99.99, reduced from £159.99 — a saving of £60, or 38% off. This product is newly tracked on our system, so we can't yet confirm how long this price has been live or whether it represents a temporary promotion. That said, sub-£100 for ANC gaming earbuds with native PS5 integration is objectively strong value on paper. Worth buying now, but worth checking back in a fortnight to see whether this becomes the established price.
