Yesterday I came across one of the best Black Friday deals I'd seen so far this year with a tremendous saving on the Sony Inzone Buds. Seemingly not content to sit this one out, SteelSeries may have just one-upped Sony with a world-beating deal on its excellent Arctis GameBuds.

The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds sit at the very top of our best gaming earbuds list for good reason. Not only are you getting top-tier SteelSeries audio in an impressively compact package, you'll also benefit from a high level of comfort, an excellent companion app on mobile, and a handy wireless charging case.

In his four-and-a-half star review, TechRadar Gaming's own Rob Dwiar said: "The SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds are simply fantastic and raise the bar in what a pair of wireless buds can offer. Quality sound, intuitive controls, great features, and even wireless charging all combine to make an incredibly compelling package."

As mentioned above, I would strongly consider buying the Xbox version of the earbuds if you own multiple consoles, as they're compatible with PlayStation 5 as well as Xbox Series X, Series S, PC, Switch, and Switch 2. The PS5 buds are compatible with all that except Xbox consoles, so if you're not fussed about missing out there, then they're still an excellent purchase.
