    If you want gaming earbuds for the PlayStation this is it. The only thing I would complain about would be the pricing. It’s not a good price for these earbuds especially for the quality of them. But over all I would recommend

    My initial impression of these were that they were painful and uncomfortable to wear, and that impression did not change. You have to orient these so the logo faces right-side up like in the product images. This process can be frustrating and painful. For sound, they were pretty average for in-ear buds. The INZONE Buds are superior to these, in my opinion, and cost only a little more. These are really designed for that PS5 and PlayStation Portal user who wants 2.4GHz speeds with no USB dongles. Too niche. Had to return them.

    If the microphone didn’t sound awful, these would be even better. The carrying case is convenient to charge them when I’m on the go. I’ve even used them to work out when my AirPods are dead. Very disappointing that I have to use a USB dongle to connect them to my PS5. It’s using proprietary Sony tech and you can’t even connect them through Bluetooth. Kinda dumb that I have to use the dongle. Especially for the price.

    Personally not a fan as the parts hurt the inner ear but otherwise is a great product. Maybe better and more comfortable for someone else. Sound is just as good as the 3D Pulse. Just personally didn’t like the comfort of them.

    The wireless headphones work great seperate or together , once they updated the connectivity issues on the PS5 the connection doesnt drop nearly as much and the battery life is pretty solid for consistent gaming .

    They work great with the PS5 and the Playstation Portal. They don't work so well with the PS VR2 but that may change in the future. Also very nice that they can sync with my iPhone while I'm using them with the Playstation.

    For earphones, I believe they’re decent but price is a little steep. If you truly care for sound quality, buying headphones at a similar price range would be better. But if you prefer something that isn’t bulky, this isn’t bad.

    Comparing these to airpods, they sound great but they do not fit my ear well. It always feels like they are going to fall out and when i find a position where they feel tight, they are not comfortable

    Works great, you can connect them to the PS Portal and your phone simultaneously, as well as being able to connect them to the ps5 and your phone simultaneously. Good audio and being able to play music or videos from my phone without interrupting the game is pretty neat too.

    Do not buy these. They have a disconnect defect and Sony STILL hasn't issued a patch to address all these disconnects. The issue has been talked about at length all over the internet. The "troubleshooting" steps on their website do not work. The buds disconnect around 15 times in 20 mins of play. It's just ridiculous. I ended up buying the Sony Inzone buds instead. They sound so much better and best of all they've been rock solid on all platforms. It's so strange that they cost the same price. One is solid and a good value. One is utter garbage. Planar Magnetic Drivers are cool in IEMs but this isn't how you do it.
