Almost £72 off such a well-equipped gaming headset that’s hard to pass up.
At the top of the list are the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds, now £87.66 instead of RRP £159.99A 45% cut, which looks even sharper as they have sat at or above £140 for most of the past three months.
SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds hit their lowest price ever with 45% off
With Bluetooth 5.3, powerful ANC and 40 hours of battery life, the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are down to £87.66, a saving of 45%.
Price tracking shows that the earphones hovered above £140 for most of May and June, dipped briefly in July and settled around £100 before the latest drop pushed them lower than at any point on record.
Numbers alone don’t explain whether a headset is worth owning, so it’s helpful to hear from one of our tech experts, Reece Bithrey, who reviewed and first-hand the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds.
He was particularly impressed with the connectivity, praising how easily it paired his phone and laptop via Bluetooth 5.3, while switching to the included 2.4GHz USB-C receiver for gaming without issue.
He also found the fit to be really comfortable, with the default peaks closing well and the physical buttons on each earcup offering tactile, reliable control that touch-sensitive rivals often miss, along with active noise cancellation he called strong.
The case itself is solidly built and pocketable, despite supporting Qi wireless charging, while the IP55 rating and over 100 game-specific preset add-on apps add the kind of everyday practicality that gaming earbuds don’t always do well.
The focus on convenience continues into the battery, with the buds themselves clocking in at close to a claimed ten hours, with the case adding another thirty on top, for a total of forty hours that will comfortably see you through most sessions.
As for audio, Bithrey described the sound as solid in games and music, with a wide soundstage that brings out details clearly, even if the low end fell a bit short of the more expensive rivals he compared them to.
Bithrey called the microphone the only weak point, but otherwise the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are among the best gaming headsets he’s tested, and at their lowest price yet, that verdict carries even more weight than it did back in May.
