    For PS Portal Only

    The earbuds work well with the portal but that’s it! I tried them with my PSVR 2 and the sound is horrible. The buds that came with the VR sound better. I tried them with my phone and much prefer my AirPods. If you have 200 bucks to spend for just wireless audio for your PS Portal they are a good buy but don’t expect them to replace your AirPods

    Better than a headset! The footsteps are so much better with these than any headset I’ve had. If you are seeing this get them. They also have very convenient charging!

    Amazing product. Paired great with my iPhone 15 and my ps5! Very comfortable despite the unique design, charging case is a bonus as well. Great competitor to the AirPods.

    A good choice if you want to game and be on your phone at the same time or just wanting one set of earbuds for both your phone and PS. The only down side is you can’t answer your phone from the earbuds.

    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.

    Amazing that it can connect to multiple devices simultaneously via Bluetooth feeding you all the audio at once. Con is it has physical volume controls on buds the buds themselves as far as wearing them is a learning curve along with how their design their not comfortable also it seems to be buggy because connection at least via ps5 it's in and out. I would try the inzone buds for same price.
