    These are easy to use and sound great. Can confirm they work on XBox Series X, PS5 and PC. Some of the settings are a pain when switching what you are using them on but that isn’t the earbuds fault. These also have phenomenal battery life!

    These earbuds sound great for gaming and listening to music. Easy to use and battery lasts for some time. Have yet to really charge them. And a nice change compared to using over ear headset.

    These ear buds are my first experience with gaming earbuds, and it's been a really great experience so far. I've been using these for over a month for gaming on my PS5, my Switch and for listening to music. I even use these to listen to music and take calls under my helmet on my motorcycle. That experience has made me very impressed with the sound quality and the microphone. I did find out that it's very important to download the app for these ear buds. Without it, the sounds was ok, but with it the quality is so good. I've tried a bunch of the game-specific presets and that's been really fun to hear the difference. I've used the dongle on my PS5, Switch and on my PC and the sound while gaming is just as good as the headset I had been using. The bluetooth for connection has also been very solid for me when listening to music or taking calls on my phone. This has been a great purchase for me!

    I switched from Sony earbuds to these, and I love them much more. They are super comfy, and the app provides specific audio settings for current games, sounding great.

    Way better than Pulse Explore

    I was getting tired of people I game with complaining about how bad the mic was on the pulse explorer and as far as the sound, they weren't anything special. I switched over to these when they released and no complaints yet on the mic (granted it wont be as clear as a boom mic) and the sound is actually amazing! Rich and full soundstage and you can set up custom profiles for the game you are currently playing via the app. I also love the fact the app on iphone connects to them instantly when they are being used with the ps5 and you can change the customer EQ and ANC/Transparent mode on the fly via app. Also, for those who complain the sound is too low, turn off the volume limiter in the app and the sound will be LOUD!

    Epic connection Failure

    It’s okay, quality is mediocre at best, took some time to connect and took 3 times to reconnect when I am on my Xbox. You would think this would be good or at least decent but sad to say, it is mediocre at the vets. Not impressed at all

    They sounds great but the left ear bud has connection issues. I have had it just randomly disconnect and re connect 5-10 min latter. you don't make sure they are charging when you put them in the case you might go to use them and one will be dead.

    I got this to use with use with my Meta Quest 3, my Asus ROG Ally X, and my android phone. I would say the sound quality is about average, not bad but not great. The latency is too slow to work via bluetooth with the quest 3 but is about on par with the speakers that are built in. I was hoping for better sound quality than the Quest 3 speakers but I would say its about the same if not a little worse. Most sounds are fine but if you play with the equalizer at all heavy bass sounds like explosions or gun shots sounds like the speaker is going to blow out not a "boom" sound. Ultimately I decided to do a wired set of headphones I have with my Quest 3 and that works way better. The usb-c dongle works well with everything I have tried. Bluetooth pairs easily as well. I will probably use these as a back up set. These may be comfortable for some ears but I found that I have to adjust them a little each time I put them inor they hurt my ears. Honestly, i would recommend something else, especially for the price.

    So far I have no complaints. Fits comfortably in the ear and I like the sound quality. Good battery life as well. I use the anc as well as the hear through and both do what they need to do. Have no comments on the mic quality as I have not used it.

    Best Value Earbuds for a True Wireless Feel

    Best quality earbuds i've ever purchase. The 2.4ghz dongle connects right to my ps5 for quick pairing right out of the case, and can be switched to bluetooth pairing to sync with phone or other device without having to disconnect. The noise cancelling and transparency modes are features I never knew I'd learn to love. 12/10 product.

    Bought for work so I could walk around and listen to my laptop. Works well for that scenario. However facetime and trying to use your laptop does not work well. You have to turn off bluetooth from your phone and then swap to your computer. Annoying but still works. ANC is okay, not as good as apple but glad its there. Comfortable for the most part but it may irritate ear after 4+ hours of use. Battery life is great.

    Right out of the box i saw that it was a decent size buds. My ears are not that great with esrbuds that go inear but it didnt bother me putting them on. The noise and anc were good not great but definitely did a good job. Connection was a breeze and it couldnt be any easier to do compared to others ive tried.
