I use the rog cetra speednova with the receiver. They sound pretty good and no latency

You want to buy a pair that supports 2.4ghz connection... Not just Bluetooth if you play games with a mic. Bluetooth support on Windows is god awful if you try to do sound and mic. I personally like ROGs buds (the version that supports 2.4ghz)... They are like $200 but work incredibly well on PC and also work on phones via Bluetooth. https://rog.asus.com/us/headsets-audio/in-ear-headphone/rog-cetra-true-wireless-speednova/ Airpods are very bad if you use mic

Hey all, appreciate any feedback. I get tired of wearing a headset constantly and so I've been trying to research earbuds for use with my PC. I've narrowed it down to two options. But I'm also confused on if either option is going to work or what I need to achieve what I want. I can use a computer but I'm horrible at troubleshooting technology. I recently bought the ROG Cetra SpeedNova earbuds. They're ok: * They seem to have solid build quality and are actually pretty comfortable. * The sound is ok, I'm not necessarily an audiophile but I'm also not wowed by the sound either. With ANC off they sounds horrible, ANC is not a necessity for me I don't think. * The mic gets the job done but isn't even a necessity for me. * I'm barely getting 4-4.5 hours of battery life and * I'm not a fan of the Armour Crate app or the tap functions but that seems to be standard on earbuds. I'm not necessarily looking for a "gaming" headset. I do play games but I'm not playing anything competitive or FPS. What I want is: * solid battery life and connection, I don't want to fight with bluetooth constantly but then again... bluetooth will bluetooth * ease of use, whatever is going to be close to plug and play * good sound, I watch movies, listen to music, most of the time I have games low volume/muted to be honest. * not having to connect to my phone as well to use an app would be nice, but I'm thinking it's just a requirement for most earbuds. I've been looking into the Sony WH-1000XM4 and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. * Sony XM-5 gets a lot of credit for their sound but seems to have comfort issues. I've seen suggestions for different tips so that's an option. I have looked into the Sony Inzones but they are always out of stock/on back order in my area. * Bose QC seems like some people love the bass, others don't like it. I do like a good bit of bass myself but would prefer better overall sound. But I also see complaints about connectivity issues. The sliding finger functions seems cool. * While having a mic isn't a necessity (I can always put my headset on), I keep reading about lowered sound quality due to Windows Bluetooth connectivity and lowered sound quality due to mic and audio on the same channel. Or something like that? And then suggestions to download LDAC (?) or some other sounds codecs. This is the part that I keep getting lost on. Do I need a Bluetooth dongle? What kind? I appreciate any suggestions or help.

[https://www.reddit.com/user/FawnZebra4122/comments/1kzsgis/the\_best\_gaming\_earbuds\_to\_buy\_right\_now/](https://www.reddit.com/user/FawnZebra4122/comments/1kzsgis/the_best_gaming_earbuds_to_buy_right_now/) I have the steelseries arctis gamebuds and they're pretty good. They're on sale at best buy right now for $127. I also just bought the Sony Inzone Buds to try them out, mostly because they're the same $127 price with a gamestop sale right now. I tried the Rog centra speednova's before, but battery life was poor (4-5 hrs) when using the 2.4 ghz adapter.

I mainly use wired but have a pair of rog cetra wireless, these have a gaming mode so no noticable delay on the audio

Yes, audio from those brands like Sony, bose Sennheiser will be (significantly) better. But for gaming those are not good choices. They tend to have high latency. The gaming earbuds usually work with some form of reduced latency. Usually because of a USB dongle or a different audio codec. I own these steelseries ones, the Asus cetra true wireless earbuds I have as well, and also the Sony pulse buds. Those last one use some kind of Sony audio codec to have no latency with the PS5 or ps portal.
