ARC 3 GAMING Open Ear Gaming Earbuds

Does everything I want from them, the battery life is excellent lasting over 12 hours on a single charge. Charges quickly (20 minutes of charging is roughly 2-3 hours) and the latency is almost as good as a wired connection. The mic is passable, the active noise cancelling is fine, but for my use case they hit every single mark. After a few months I haven’t had them drop connection, no sync issues, and extremely comfortable. My biggest complaint is cleaning them is awkward given their shape but it’s a minor issue.

The only thing I would really want from these is a way for them to connect to my iPhone or iPad, but works perfectly for computer use. I have airpods anyway.

Starting with the design of the charging case. The matte finish on the surface gives it a dry and delicate touch, and the front low, back high design adds a nice grip. The case is compact, and the weight is just right, making it easy to slip into pockets or bags. The flip-open design with magnetic closure is well-executed, providing a balanced magnetic force and smooth damping. Inside the case, there’s a well-organized compartment for the earbuds and the USB-C receiver. The magnetic attachment for both the earbuds and the USB-C receiver prevents accidental slips, ensuring they stay securely in place. Moving on to the earbuds themselves, the small and refined design sets them apart from traditional over-ear headphones. Not only are they incredibly lightweight, but they also avoid common issues like head clamping, making them very comfortable to wear. The inner material is smooth and skin-friendly, offering good grip to prevent slipping even during movement or light jogging. Extended wear doesn’t result in any discomfort or soreness, highlighting the impressive comfort and isolation performance. With approximately 24 hours of combined battery life when used with the charging case, easily meet the demands of my daily activities. The arc3 Hub software adds a layer of convenience, allowing me to adjust headphone functions and sound setting. The open and connect feature ensures swift pairing with my PC and phone. In terms of audio performance, these earbuds boast a balanced tuning. The bass is powerful without being overwhelming, the mids are rich and clear, and the highs are transparent and expansive. The attention to detail in sound reproduction, combined with effective spatial processing, creates a strong sense of presence, enhancing the overall immersive experience. In gaming scenarios, the earbuds excel in capturing audio details, identifying sound directions, and with a low latency solution, providing a competitive edge for gamers.
