Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

SteelSeries has announced its first-ever set of true wireless gaming earbuds and their features really look like they could offer a one-and-done solution for anyone scouting for the best gaming earbuds for their setup this year.

Taking on the likes of Sony's Inzone Buds and PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds, the Arctis GameBuds pack a bunch of premium features to offer a compelling package.

SteelSeries is pushing this earbuds package as one that's not just great for gaming but one that'll drop into your day-to-day lifestyle too, offering something you can use anywhere for music, work, TV, and entertainment and so on.

Leading the feature set is the inclusion of neodymium (6mm) drivers that are tuned to SteelSeries' trademark high quality, providing "intense 360-degree audio" according to the brand. Complementing this is Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) powered by a four-microphone system designed to increase your immersion in your gaming sessions. 

A third audio-focused feature - and following in the footsteps of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 wireless gaming headset - is compatibility with the mobile companion app. This will work much like the Nova 5 app, and will offer more than 100 presets for games as well as some helpful display and option features that can all be chosen and changed on the fly. This is done in combination with the on-board button which is more like a laptop pad press as opposed to other earbuds' touch-based controls.

The GameBuds also share the Arctis line's recent penchant for multi-platform compatibility, with the buds working across all major platforms, consoles, and devices. However, if you want the maximum compatibility offered by the buds then the Xbox model - like headsets of recent times - is the one to go for.

Rounding out the feature set are dual-connectivity with Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.4Ghz, a claimed battery life of 40+ hours (10 hours per use, and three charges stored in the case), wireless charging - itself housing Qi wireless charging capabilities, and an ergonomic design that was built from more than 62,000 ear scans.

Coming at the perfect time to potentially pair with a PS5 Pro, an iPhone 16, or a new Xbox console, the GameBuds seem to offer a very fulsome and compelling package that could rival some of the best in the game. 

The Arctis GameBuds are available for pre-order today, September 26, at SteelSeries' own website - the same day as PS5 Pro pre-orders start - and will hit retailer shelves on October 29. The GameBuds will launch at $159.99 / £159.99 / AU$169.99.

Stay tuned for our full SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds review coming soon.

AI tools are making social engineering attacks even more convincing, and I fear that this is only the beginning

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit were brought crashing into the 21st century in December 2024 with their latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl . The film challenges our growing dependence on smart technology in the form of a robotic garden gnome, built by Wallace to support his gardening business, which is then hacked by the Kubrick-esque Feathers McGraw for his own nefarious purposes. One of the more interesting but less commented on parts of the film shows Gromit cautiously entering his house and being greeted by what he thinks is Wallace’s reassuring voice, only to be confronted with Feathers and the robotic gnome. Technology’s ability to mimic linguistic patterns, to clone a person’s voice and understand and respond to questions has developed dramatically in the last few years. This has not gone unnoticed by the world’s criminals and scammers, with the result that social engineering attacks are not only on the rise but are more sophisticated a...
