    Easy to connect and they sound pretty good for what they are. They only really work with the Playstation Portal with out the adapter.

    Make sure you use the right Earpud tips. With the stock tips the sound is hallow and flat. Very cheap sounding. However, after changing to the fatest earbud tip, these are the best sound earbuds ive ever used. For reference, ive tried the razer hammerheads hyperspeed and sony inzone. Absolutely crush both of them. One other thing… the bass is INCREDIBLE!! Very tight and deep. But again, you have to use the right tips. Had a few disconnects after a around 3 hours of gameplay but extremely minor…. Reconnects instantly.

    Good quality. Random sync and connection issues. Quick reset works everytime for the fix. Maybe just an issue with adapter. Always connects but says that I need to connect .

    These ear buds are great! Upgraded from the pulse headset so I can use with the portal. And wow... These things are awesome. I am able to connect 2 devices to these and differentiate the sound easily. For those who like me who like to hear the game sound and listen to music at the same time. I have not heard of any other eat buds that can do that.

    Very good sound quality when it comes to the PS5 audio output, though sound quality on Bluetooth devices leaves some to be desired when compared to AirPod pros.

    These earbuds are great. They come in a charging case with usb-c support and automatically detect when you are using them so you don’t have to manually switch your sounds. Comfortable too.

    This is not the most comfortable product out there to be honest. They hurt my ears. They aren’t very clear. My friends constantly tell me they can’t hear me or that it’s really choppy when I speak. Also they disconnect from my PlayStation all the time. Over all not satisfied with them at all.

    If you want to use PS Portal with headphones, this is one of only two convenient options. Good sound but quite expensive.

    I really want to love these and justify the price tag, but darn i cannot, although i will keep and continue to use these, they just miss the mark, when it comes to bass. Also no eq options for these yet the newer over the ear headphones sony just released for ps5 has those options. If these were 100 cheaper id say worth but at this price meh.

    These earbuds are massive, but the sound quality and the low latency make up for it. The price could be better.
