SteelSeries Gamebuds review: the only gaming earbuds you need for the Xbox, PS5, PC, and more

Gaming headset quality audio in your pocket

From booming explosions to bright vocals, all served up with fantastic spatial surround sound, the SteelSeries Gamebuds have become my favorite portable gaming audio solution. They’re fantastic earbuds even when not gaming since SteelSeries has admirably gotten most of the fundamentals right with a compact form factor, active noise-canceling, natural-sounding transparency mode, and physical controls. It won’t block out the screeching sound of dull car breaks or a jackhammer, but it makes listening to audio and playing games while computing much more pleasant.
