Our Verdict

SteelSeries Arctis 1

Turtle Beach Battle Buds

The SteelSeries Arctis 1 and the Turtle Beach Battle Buds are similarly performing wired gaming headphones. While the SteelSeries have a more comfortable over-ear design, the Turtle Beach are in-ears that are more portable and breathe better during longer gaming sessions. The microphone of the SteelSeries performs a lot better, and their sound profile is much more accurate and better-balanced.
