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.

    Solid earbuds if you’re in the PlayStatiom ecosystem, ie: you have a PS5, PSVR2, and Playstation Portal.

    The Explores work really well especially paired with a Portal. Can be a hassle to switch between phone and portal though.

    I bought these buds just for gaming but as i used them with my phone and ipad i realized these buds are pretty good. Yes no anc but it really isnt a deal breaker, with the right fit of the silicone tips the seal is good enough to drown out most ambient noise. The bass is nice and punchy clean not overblown. Great sound with the proper tips. Well worth the low $200.

    The sound quality on these are phenomenal. Be aware that this is not noise cancelling. Also, this doesn't work well with iPhones. If you have an android then this is perfect for dual device connection.

    These sound great. They look a little weird, and getting used to the way the feel may take a little time. They pair well with the PS Portal.
