As usual when trying them out, I carelessly disregarded everything one might expect me focus on. Instead, I solidified my opinion based on a particular and peculiar fact: these earbuds actually fit my weird little ears.<\/p>\n<p>Look, there&apos;s a lot to <em>objectively <\/em>like about the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds, but the simple fact is I&apos;ve never been an &#8220;earbuds&#8221; kind of guy, so hearing about all its features didn&apos;t really spark joy in me, you know? But what <em>did <\/em>spark joy in me was the fact that, after getting used to the push-and-twist movement required to fit them, these things fit snug as a bug.<\/p>\n<p>I long ago abandoned all hopes of owning and using earbuds because of my strangely small ears with what must be the most disastrously designed ear canals on the planet (I&apos;ve even had a doctor comment on my narrow ear canals, so it&apos;s not just me). They always slip out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That&apos;s why for the longest time I&apos;ve used bone conduction earphones: because they sit over my ears, not in them. The Arctis GameBuds have me reconsidering this decision now, though, because like Cinderella&apos;s slippers, these GameBuds fit my ears like a\u2026 glove?<\/p>\n<p>Given I&apos;d committed all earbuds to the flames years ago and hadn&apos;t regularly used any for a long time, I did struggle a little to insert them properly right away. Doing so involves placing them gently into your ear and twisting slightly. Seeing me struggling and looking sheepish, a SteelSeries rep actually put them in for me at first\u2014an experience I shall treasure. but before too long I got the hang of it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1876px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.24%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Ywoe3jAKGVEibYJdDBtvAK\" name=\"steelseries-arctis-gamebuds-in-use.jpg\" alt=\"SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds in-ear\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/the-new-steelseries-arctis-gamebuds-actually-fit-my-weird-little-ears-and-if-that-isnt-a-glowing-endorsement-then-i-dont-know-what-is.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1876\" height=\"1055\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: SteelSeries)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1734px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.23%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pTyQq3MTPVQm4p77nMNzpR\" name=\"steelseries-arctis-gamebuds-in-use-2.jpg\" alt=\"SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds in-ear\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/the-new-steelseries-arctis-gamebuds-actually-fit-my-weird-little-ears-and-if-that-isnt-a-glowing-endorsement-then-i-dont-know-what-is-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1734\" height=\"975\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: SteelSeries)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 3 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1993px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"H2jfi8d5F6mvwq5YoidpjX\" name=\"steelseries-arctis-gamebuds-close-up.jpg\" alt=\"SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds in-hand\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/the-new-steelseries-arctis-gamebuds-actually-fit-my-weird-little-ears-and-if-that-isnt-a-glowing-endorsement-then-i-dont-know-what-is-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1993\" height=\"1121\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: SteelSeries)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I sat, I stood, I even <em>moved <\/em>with these things in my ears, and not once did I feel the telltale slip and slide of a bud about to pop out.<\/p>\n<p>SteelSeries says it&apos;s designed these things using &#8220;over 62,000 ear scans&#8221; to &#8220;build the perfect design&#8221;.

After I&apos;d gotten over the shock of the earbuds staying in my ears, I got to gaming and listening to music with them. I didn&apos;t have too long with them so I can&apos;t offer more than a quick impression, but I found them to offer plenty of clarity and a decent amount of bass.<\/p>\n<p>I was also possibly unreasonably impressed by the mechanical switch clicks that occur when you press each ear face\u2014none of this haptic touch malarkey, just good, solid buttons. Buttons, I might add, that I expect I&apos;ll be pressing a lot to switch between 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth connection, which will probably be my use case: gaming via 2.4 GHz on my handheld and then switching to Bluetooth on my phone.<\/p>\n<p>For at least a while, though, I&apos;ll probably just marvel over the fit.
