The phenomenal SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds just dropped below £100 for the first time – a record-low before Black Friday

Yesterday I came across one of the best Black Friday Deals I've already seen huge savings this year on Sony Inzonal buds. Seemingly unwilling to be left out, SteelSeries may have just beaten Sony to the punch by securing the world's best deal on its excellent Arctis GameBuds.

At the moment, the price of SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for PS5 has dropped to just £99.99 (was £159.99) at Amazon. Meanwhile, the price of SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for Xbox has also dropped to £99.99 (was £159.99) at Amazon. In both cases, this is a record low price, and the first time these gaming headphones have crossed the sub-£100 threshold.

There are some differences between the two versions. While both come with a charging case and 2.4GHz adapter, the PS5 version is a nice white color while the Xbox version is a more subdued black. Another thing to keep in mind is that the PS5 version is compatible with everything except Xbox consoles, while the Xbox version works on PS5, Xbox, PC, Switch, Switch 2, and mobile devices.

SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds sit at the very top of our best gaming headphones the list is not in vain. Not only do you get premium SteelSeries audio in an impressively compact package, but you also get a high level of comfort, a great companion app on your mobile phone, and a convenient wireless charging case.

In his four-and-a-half-star review, TechRadar Gaming's Rob Dwiar said: “The SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds are fantastic and raise the bar for what a pair of wireless headphones can offer. High-quality sound, intuitive controls, great features and even wireless charging all come together to form an incredibly attractive package.”

As mentioned above, I'd strongly consider purchasing the Xbox version of the headphones if you have multiple consoles, as they're compatible with the PlayStation 5, as well as the Xbox Series X, Series S, PC, Switch, and Switch 2. The PS5 headphones are compatible with everything except Xbox consoles, so if you're not worried about missing out on anything, they're still a great buy.
