Arctis GameBuds feature something called WearSense. This feature pauses media when you remove one or both earbuds. If you do not like this feature or it is not functioning as expected, you can disable it using the mobile app (SteelSeries Arctis Companion) or PC software (SteelSeries GG/Engine). In your Arctis GameBuds settings go to "Settings" and uncheck "WearSense."
