Soundcore VR P10, usb-connector to help with no latency, awesome sound quality, plug and play
I would suggest Soundcore VR p10. These have their own problem but I let you research that But I will tell you what I love about them, *Simultaneous Audio Stream* from dongle and Bluetooth. I've use this so much during college where I use them for meeting on phone while also using laptop to look at videos or stuff they send Or when gaming on laptop, can still hear the game sound and then using phone to pick music. Mine broke because um, I was using while riding the bike and accidentally drop the entire case, AHHAHA. So now I'm looking for a new pair. However, these new earbud such as Sony inzone, Steelsteries gamebuds or Cetra, all lack this feature for whatever reason. So idk if I should by one of them or just get a new VR p10
Just a mini rant/annoyance. I've *loved* my switch 2 so far, it feels like the largest technical leap I've made in my gaming hardware since that time I upgraded from a GTX 1050 to a 2060 Super. Everything runs and looks better, the controls feel better, the screen's... got its downsides but I generally prefer the resolution bump, and the improved wi-fi-- Dear god I would have murdered for this wi-fi on Switch 1. However, I've spent the last few days trying to figure out a good wireless, mostly portable audio solution for this thing, and it hasn't been going well. Bluetooth is *incredibly* laggy, seeming to approach 500 ms territory, which is completely beyond what I can tolerate (it outright screws with my ability to respond in some quicker games, including--of all things--fishing in Animal crossing) so the headphones I already have are off the table. I tried a cheap but good pair of Anker VR p10 wireless earbuds with a usb-c dongle, but those just flat out don't work with the Switch 2. The console won't recognize them as an audio device. I've been looking at different bluetooth earbuds with better support for LE audio, but despite using Bluetooth 5.2, everything I've found seems to suggest the Switch 2 only supports SBC and AAC for audio codecs, with zero LE audio support, which... basically means Bluetooth audio works as well on Switch 2 as it did on Switch 1. Which is to say, poorly. Now I'm trying to search down USB-C wireless earbuds that actually work with the Switch 2, and I've found some, but compatibility is so strict and there's so little information on what does and doesn't work, I've only really managed to narrow down *one* option, and it's one of the most expensive. It's just incredibly frustrating, both with the utter lack of LE audio support (why the frick even have Bluetooth 5.2 if you're not going to--) and the incredible specificity needed out of USB-C headphones. It almost breaks the point of having two USB-C ports--yes I know that's not the only reason but I know it was one a lot of people were excited about. I just wish this aspect was a little more plug and play, and I didn't have to reference scattered reddit posts to try and figure out why nothing is working the way I want it to.
I have had these for years and they are slowly dying on me. The battery used to last like 6 hours now it lasts 2-4 and the range I used to be able to walk around my entire house fine now if I leave my room they start disconnecting. Great pair of buds but seeing as they no longer make them getting support for them is gonna be next to impossible when they inevitably degrade.
I used Soundcore too. Great comfortable headphones for cheap. Battery lasts a LONG time. I even use them with PSVR1 wired which uses no battery at all.
Hey, howās the search going? Like you, my VR P10s donāt work with my Switch2, so Iām also searching for compatible 2.4g earbuds. My USB-C EarPods do work, and so does my Eppfun USB-C Bluetooth transmitter (AptX adaptive), but that has a bit of latency. I was checking Amazon and found PRISMXR earbuds which specifically say theyāre Ā not compatible with Switch2. Their USB-C dongle is identical to the P10 dongle, so that tracks. Iāve seen posts here on Reddit saying the Steelseries Arctis Gamebuds and JBL Quantum TWS are compatible.
My favorite higher end for sound quality, build quality, ANC/transparency, features, and mic quality? AKG N5 Hybrid. My favorite mid-range all around? Probably Steelseries Gamer Buds Artic X. Another good all-around are the Jlab Epic Lab. Let me know if you want them, I'm trying to sell them and I can post them on hardware swap. Best deal? Sony Inzone buds. I think you can still find these used for under $60, sometimes under $50. I wouldn't spend a full $200 price for brand new though. Best budget? Anker P10. New they are around $60, used they are around $30.
Soundcore VR P10. Way more affordable lol and also have a dongle; so thereās no noticeable audio lag. When I need to charge I have a small cable/adapter that splits into two ports - one for audio and one for power. Works great for me!
