The Best Overall: SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for Xbox

If you want one pair of buds that does it all, the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds for Xbox are the current gold standard. They are our go-to for Forza Horizon 6 because they include a 2.4GHz wireless USB dongle.

If you prefer a premium all-rounder for your travels, the Status Between 3ANC remains a top-tier choice. Their active noise cancellation is among the best we have experienced, making them perfect for blocking out the world during long commutes or noisy environments.

Budget-Friendly Racing Audio

You don't need to drop over £200 to get a great experience. The GravaStar Sirius Plus offers incredible value. While the steampunk aesthetic is a bold choice, the performance is undeniable. They provide punchy bass and reliable noise cancellation, and their directional audio is surprisingly capable for gaming, making them a fantastic budget-friendly option for Forza sessions on the go.
