The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds sit at the top of the tree in our ranking of the best gaming earbuds we've tested, and deservedly so, too for stylish looks, surprisingly competent noise-cancelling and generally excellent audio.

Both Will and I have been suitably impressed with them when we put them through our paces in recent times, and if you want to get a piece of the action for a versatile and clever set of buds, then now 's the best time to strike. As a result of the last knocking of Prime Day, the GameBuds have dropped down to as low as £113 with the black PS5 and Xbox models only a few pounds more..

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.
