Coming from a music background, I've had lecturers drilling into my head that headphones (and gaming headsets) are the only things I should have anywhere near my ears. But even without their insistence, I've always preferred the comfort of a pair of cups sitting across my head - until I picked up the SteelSeries Arctis Game Buds.
When I finally popped the best gaming earbuds in and discovered not just the remarkable sound quality they could muster, but that a pair of high-quality buds out there existed, and felt comfortable to wear, it was music to my ears. At $159.99 / £159.99, these compact little buds don't come cheap, and are up there with Apple AirPod pricing, which would rightfully be a deal-breaker for many. Yet, when compared to the best gaming headsets, they sit within the mid-range price range, and are undoubtedly more convenient due to their compact size, and sound almost on par with their mid-range rivals.
