SteelSeries Unveils Limited-Edition Retro-Style Gaming Earbuds

The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds have gained popularity among gamers for their comfort, solid sound quality, strong active noise cancellation, and low-latency wireless support for consoles such as PS5 and Switch. SteelSeries recently released a limited-edition 'Glorange' colorway featuring a transparent orange design inspired by late 90s tech aesthetics, which appeals to nostalgia and stands out in the current trend of transparent tech accessories. These earbuds offer over 200 game-specific EQ presets via a companion app, 10-hour battery life per charge with up to 40 hours using the charging case, and compatibility with gaming handhelds and PlayStation consoles, though notably lacking Xbox compatibility. The 'Glorange' edition maintains the same ergonomic design shaped by extensive ear scanning and the performance features of the original model while adding a unique visual appeal. Despite their $160 price, reviewers commend the earbuds for replacing bulkier headsets and providing a high-quality gaming audio experience. Meanwhile, other earbuds like Bose's Ultra Open, promoted through a pop-up event with K-pop star LISA, highlight continued interest in stylish and branded audio accessories, though this product focuses more on lifestyle and celebrity partnership than gaming performance.
