SteelSeries has done it again.

The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are the best gaming earbuds we've tested for stylish looks, competent noise-cancelling and generally excellent audio that both Will and I have enjoyed. At the moment, these buds are down to £100 from Amazon - a return to their all-time low price - in any of their respective formats for PS5 and Xbox. That's quite the bargain, and represents a hefty 38% price cut against their £160 retail price. This is a limited-time deal, and you've got around 12 hours from the time of writing to snag them at this low price if you want to.

In terms of general looks, the Arctis GameBuds impress with their colour-coordinated finish for use with either Xbox or PS5, as well as their first-rate build quality and rounded charging case that's easily pocketable. The earbuds also fit well with a good seal for some good ANC performance and a natural-sounding transparency mode, while coming with pleasant physical buttons built-in to save the hassle of touch controls. The case also supports Qi wireless charging for some added convenience.

In addition, audio quality here is generally good with an inoffensive sound profile that works well for games, music and movies alike. If the sound profile isn't to your tastes though, then you can use the fantastic mobile app for choosing from dozens of specific presets for different types of music or games, too. You also get separate settings for the two different connectivity methods, as the Arctis GameBuds sypport both Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.4GHz wireless for excellent compatibility across virtually all platforms you can think of.

The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for the modest asking price that Amazon is offering makes them quite the steal if you're after a versatile and great set for all manner of uses.
