    As the title says, these sound amazing when using basically any other eartips than the ones included. I'm using foam tips and they offer much better noise cancellation. Sucks that the launch was poor and that you need your own eartips, because in the right condition, they sound great.

    Really "good sounding" earbuds, However the con is that they do "Occasionally" disconnect for no reason.

    I did have some other Bluetooth headphones but these are way better. The sound quality is worth the purchase price tag! PlayStation has come a long way and I’m glad to have gotten these.

    At first I didn’t like them because of the can’t connect via Bluetooth. But I tell you what I love these earbuds it’s a perfect companion not only for the portal but also the ps5. I love the fact that I can connect my phone as it’s connected via ps5 or portal. Only thing bothers a little is when on ps5 it disconnects and connects again. No big deal just annoying.

    I’m not sure what others expected, but these earbids are perfect for the purpose they were made to serve. Maybe a bit expensive, but its new tech. I love them with my portal.

    Like others have said, the sound quality was actually quite impressive. That’s about the only thing I enjoyed about it before I returned it. Connection to my Portal was spotty, being in ear was painful after some time. I’m sure this is perfect for some, just not for me.

    Serious connection issues with the $200 earbuds

    I’m quite disappointed with the ear buds. For $200, I expected a solid connection to PlayStation devices. What I end up with instead, is the right earbud disconnecting…reconnecting, then the left earbud doing the same thing. This is not an initial startup when using the earbuds. This continues to happen until I get frustrated with the earbuds and decide I’ve had enough with my ears hearing the disconnect, then reconnect process over and over again. I’m hoping there is a software update around the corner to rectify this issue. If PlayStation is able to update the software to remedy the connectivity issue, I’d rate these at a 4. The reason for not giving it a 5 is the earbuds are not as comfortable as I thought they would be.

    I was really looking forward to these earbuds but unfortunately they aren’t worth it. I have them connected to my iPhone and ps5 simultaneously. The connection to the PS5 constantly gets interrupted. The earbuds hurt my ears after a good 3-4 hour session. I recommend you try the Inzone buds first. They connect to android phones simultaneously but not iPhone. The sound on these was really good though. Hopefully the second iteration of these will have a longer battery and better design like Inzone.

    Amazing sound but super bulky and a bit uncomfortable. The default tips are comolete garbage. The dase design is so flimsy, i doint the case will out last rhe earbuds themselves. They also diaconnect frequently which is just unfortunate….
