However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding connection issues and the relatively high price point. Additionally, a few users feel the earbuds could benefit from improved bass and a higher maximum volume.

    I got these today and they connected to my ps5 right away. Played a few games for about an hour and they were still going strong. I do have to agree that they do hurt my ears a bit but i have not tried the other tips yet. All in all i will be keeping these.

    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.

    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.

    Best earphone/earbuds I’ve even had for gaming. I don’t like big headphones over my head so these are awesome. I love how I can connect to both my game and phone at the same time

    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

    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
