SteelSeries has released two new color variants for its Arctis GameBuds: Pomelo Yellow and Matcha Green. The retail price is set at ¥1499, with a promotional price of ¥1399 and a further ¥100 rebate for user reviews. The product was developed in collaboration with the T1 League of Legends team.
The earbuds feature dual-mode connectivity, supporting both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.3. The 2.4GHz connection offers latency below 31ms, which the company claims is seven times faster than standard Bluetooth. A compact L-shaped USB-C receiver ensures compatibility with PC, PlayStation, Steam Deck, Switch, and VR platforms.
The device utilizes a 4-mic hybrid ANC system with AI-driven noise cancellation and a transparency mode. Audio is powered by neodymium high-fidelity drivers and Sonar 360-degree spatial audio software. Users can access over 300 game-specific audio presets via the companion app or desktop software.
Battery life is rated at 10 hours per charge, with the charging case providing three additional cycles for a total of 40 hours. The case supports Qi wireless charging and fast charging, delivering 3 hours of playback from a 15-minute charge. The design is IP55-rated for water and dust resistance.
