The SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds are now available and have been priced in the Philippines. Interested readers may find the listing via DataBlitz’s official website. Among the buds’ highlights are spatial audio, ANC, a 10-hour battery life, and a quick switch between Bluetooth and Wireless.
Inside the box, users will find the buds, USB-C wireless nano-dongle, Qi Wireless charging case, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. Of course, different eartips and a manual is also present.
The buds feature Neodymium Magnet Drivers with a frequency response ranging from 20-20,000Hz. It also has four microphones used for ANC, voice recording, and spatial audio. Each bud has an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance too.
The buds also have in-ear detection, which lets them autoplay and pause when not in use. Each bud is rated for up to 10 hours of continuous use, with the case adding another 30 hours. The buds essentially have 40 hours of total runtime on a single charge.
Speaking of the case, it charges via Qi Wireless and USB Type-C. 15 minutes of charging yields users 3 hours of use. It only takes 90 minutes to get the case fully charged as well.
A key feature of the buds is its USB Type-C Wireless Nano-Dongle. This offers a 2.4GHz wireless option as another means of connection aside from Bluetooth. SteelSeries claims that it’s 7x faster than Bluetooth, even working seamlessly when switching connections.
The buds are compatible with the PS5, PS4 Pro, PS4, PC, Mac, Switch and other devices that support USB Type-C. There’s also a PlayStation variant that comes with 100+ PS5 Audio Presets via the Arctics Companion App for iOS and Android.
