Over ear user to earbud
I was initially skeptical about ear buds for gaming as someone who primarily used over ear headphones. The quality with the 2.4 reciever is fantastic though you cant have super loud audio. The companion app adds alot of customization. The only ossues are common wireless headset issues such as random loss of connection or issues with audio desync when you are walking. Also a sid note when using yotube if the video is low quality while using the 2.4 reciver the low quality is much more noticeable so be wary of that Otherwise these are fantastic multi use headphones.

Great Versatile Earbuds
I bought these to replace my Logitech G935 gaming headset. The G935s started to have a problem with powering on the first time. Sometimes well more than the first. I'd been looking for something I could use with my PS5 and PC. I also travel with a laptop from time-to-time and use the headsets with it. Since I have been using my AirPods Pros for a while with my phone I thought I'd look for some in-ear option for gaming. First a shout out to BB for always being there when I need/want something! Great price and ordering online and picking up in the store was a breeze. The main reason I bought these was the ability to connect to the PS5, PC and my iPhone. It does all of that. What I didn't know was the extended battery life these have. I've used them throughout the day for the past two days and have not managed to get them below 25% in a single use. My first connection was with my iPhone. Followed the instructions and was connected immediately. I had looked at a number of reviews and noticed all had said to turn off the limiter in the app. I haven't listened with the limiter on, but it gets very loud with it off. I've used these in Warzone with my phone and it has made the game much more enjoyable. Footsteps are very distinct and the sound is very immersive. I've also watched some videos on YouTube on listened to music. I'm debating on if these will become my everyday earbuds. I have used the mic in phone calls and was told it sounded good. I have not used it in-game or recorded it. Next was on my PS5 to check out the 2.4Ghz. They were very easy to pair and within minutes I was playing COD: BO6 and these truly shined. I clearly hear and distinguish the locations and types of sounds. The G935s were very good, but this is on another level. Lastly, I connected to my laptop. We're traveling so I thought it'd be a good test. They quickly connected with the GG software which seems really good, so far. Overall, these are a good option for me so far. I like the convenience, the long battery life and really good sound. I would recommend these if you are looking for great earbuds for gaming.

Bang for your buck!
Pros: + Bluetooth 5.3 & 2.4GHz connectivity + Includes a USB-C to USB-A adapter + Toggle ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and transparency with the push of a button + Clear phone calls to listen and Cons: - Custom EQ presets requires modifying via Sonar software on computer I'm not typically a big fan of in-ear headphones. I have used the likes of JBL, Pixel Buds, and other types that would never stay in my ear. I have had great success with these! The first use of these after a full charge in 2.4GHz mode (connected to a desktop PC) lasted me about 13 hours. This included listening to music, gaming, watching social media vids, and more. I'll be testing in bluetooth mode soon to see how they fair, but first impressions are great for these GameBuds!
