    The Steelseries Arctis GameBuds PS5 are in-ear headphones specially developed for gaming, which impress with their warm and rich sound profile. However, they show deficits in higher tones and have a somewhat coarse sound resolution overall, which is less suitable for lovers of fine sound details...
