Nearly £72 off a pair of gaming earbuds this well-specced is hard to pass over.
Right at the top of that list sits the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds, now £87.66 instead of their £159.99 RRP, a 45% cut that looks even sharper given they’ve sat closer to £140 or more for most of the past three months.
SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds hit their lowest price ever, with 45% off
With Bluetooth 5.3, strong ANC and 40-hour battery life, the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are down to £87.66, a 45% saving.
Price tracking shows the earbuds hovering above £140 through most of May and June, dipping briefly in July, then settling around £100 before this latest drop pushed them lower than they’ve been at any point on record.
Numbers alone don’t explain whether a pair of earbuds is worth owning, which is why it helps to hear from one of our tech experts, Reece Bithrey, who reviewed and put the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds through their paces first-hand.
He came away particularly impressed by the connectivity, praising how easily they paired over Bluetooth 5.3 with his phone and laptop while switching straight to the bundled 2.4GHz USB-C receiver for gaming without any issues.
He also found the fit genuinely comfortable, with the default tips sealing well and physical buttons on each earbud offering the kind of tactile, reliable control that touch-sensitive rivals often get wrong, alongside active noise cancellation he called strong.
The case itself is solidly built and pocketable despite supporting Qi wireless charging, while an IP55 rating and companion app with over 100 game-specific presets add the kind of everyday practicality gaming earbuds don’t always get right.
That focus on convenience continues in the battery, with the buds themselves lasting close to the claimed ten hours and the case adding a further thirty on top, for a combined forty hours that should comfortably outlast most sessions.
On sound, Bithrey described the audio as solid across games and music, with a wide soundstage that picked out detail clearly, even if the low end sat a touch behind pricier rivals he compared them against.
Bithrey ranked the microphone as the one weak point, but otherwise placed the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds among the Best Gaming Headsets he’d tested, and at their lowest price yet, that verdict carries even more weight than it did in May.
