Came to say this. Amazing Earbuds for the money. They were on sale a week ago. Might still be

Same. The gamebuds are excellent. I like that I can use bluetooth with my phone for music and the dongle in my gaming handhelds for...gaming.

Go for SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds (xbox edition) - the best choice ever. They work with PS5, Switch, Xbox, PC, smartphone and many others. Sound is fantastic also i charge them once per week and I can play for 3-4 hours per day. It's all in one and I love it.

Yep they truly are amazing! And super versatile, since the X model you can use with pretty much everything. PS5, Xbox, Switch, Pc, mobile phone, etc... Can't recommend them enough.

Second this. I use mine for my handhelds and use it for my PS5 also when I don’t wanna wear my headset

I've heard that the steelseries have a more stable connection and dont drop out often, i have a steelseries headset and the wireless connection is absolutely amazing never lags or drops out or anything so im leaning more towards the gamebuds (im kinda in the same situation i need wireless earbuds with low latency)

Yes i looked at the sony inzone buds, soundcore vr p10 and the prismxr vega t1, but for now I feel like the steelseries are the best ones (being able to apply a eq and them remembering it is important for me, and im pretty sure the steelseries can do that), and I've had a really good experience with steelseries so I trust the brand
