4. Portability
Obviously, everybody wants to own a pair of earbuds now. They’re significantly more portable than gaming headsets due to their compact size and lightweight design. They can easily fit into small carrying cases or pockets, making them ideal for gaming on the go.
However, many people still rock full headsets while on the go or when traveling. Our Arctis Nova headsets feature the ComfortMAX system, so you can bend and adjust them in multiple ways to fit your head. You can flare them out so that the earcups lay flat on your chest when not in use. And they look stylish, too. You can customize the speaker plates, too.
5. Comfort
Comfort is, of course, subjective, but our headsets, with their soft cushions, are designed to be used for hours at a time. So for your gaming at home, it will be great to have a dedicated gaming headset.
As a gym goer, I have had issues with earbuds from a different manufacturer. They would partially slip out when moving about, which would start messing with their detection for ANC. So the volume would drastically jump.
I haven't had such issues with Arctis GameBuds, which stay more securely in my ear. I also like their sizable control buttons, so you're not trying to find a small ridge on the side of the earpiece when needing to reduce volume, pause, or change ANC settings. They are also water-resistant, which is a plus in certain situations.
