"block out the AC behind me pretty well"
"Or, if you don’t want that, there’s also active noise cancellation. ... I occasionally use noise canceling while running on paths near major roads"
"They do a great job at low ends and most highs. They allow voices to come through a little bit"

"The audio is crystal clear, and I noticed it helps a lot with picking up game details like footsteps or background sounds."
"And close to 0 latency."

"randomly decides to unpair one or both buds"
"only support LE audio when not using the dongle so no use with my phone."
"as soon as you're on the other side of a wall, door, even if the dongle is in your back pocket, behind a monitor/TV, or behind your PC, you'll get choppy/digital-sounding audio and eventually a dropped connection, it's not great."

"The one problem I have with them is when they go into a standby mode and come out of it, the mic stops working, both on Bluetooth and with the dongle. ... So like if I'm in a Discord chat and I mute for 20 minutes and come back, I have to put the buds back in the case and take them out for the mic to work again."
"the moment I join a game chat they complain about how bad I sound. ... Echoey (like if I am sitting in the bathroom) or too loud."
"I'd say the mic quality is very usable, above average for earbuds, but still not as good as some of the best headset mics, and also loses to some of the better sub $50 standalone mics on Amazon. ... If you're just gaming and using this for voice that it's perfectly fine but if you're creating content with your voice, like streaming or something, I'd get a standalone mic."

"have the worst constant white noise ever. ... Without ANC they already have a really high noise floor and with ANC on there is another layer of white noise. ... They are unusable to me for that reason"
"Sony Inzone have static/ white noise issues"
"The inzone buds also make an audible popping sound when the volume of the game you re playing goes up (not the volume of the buds)."

"They dont work wurh portal though"
"these *do not* support normal A2DP Bluetooth, your device *must* support LE-Audio, which, outside of phones built in the past 2-3 years, is a very small list of devices."
"the USBC dongle doesn’t work with the Portal"

"if the charging case hits 0% it'll permanently kill one of your earbuds. ... I had them RMA'd - same thing happened to the second pair. ... One earbud just dies and will not charge or connect. ... But it doesn't have a firmware bug that bricks the product...."
"This kinda happened to me after a few weeks of not using them but a factory reset and a full recharge fixed it for me"
"Sony Inzone buds failed quickly for me."
Accomplished-Gas-203 1.0At the end I got the inzone buds. Definitely masterpiece quality sound. 13 hours of battery is also I really nice. After tell Me about the Akg
AdAdorable927 1.0I’ve used a few different ones, and each has its own vibe depending on what you’re after. **Cleer Audio ARC 3 Gaming** – These are honestly my top choice if you're into open-ear earbuds. They don't sit *inside* your ear like typical buds, so you don’t get that pressure buildup after hours of gaming. **Sony Inzone Buds** – These are more traditional in-ear buds, and I really like the sound isolation they offer. The audio is crystal clear, and I noticed it helps a lot with picking up game details like footsteps or background sounds. **Razer Hammerhead Pro** – These have a super bass-heavy sound, which is awesome for action-packed, fast-paced games where you want explosions and impacts to sound dramatic. So, depending on whether you want an open-ear, snug fit, or bass-heavy experience, it really comes down to personal preference.
ama8o8 1.0Honestly i agree (sorry for necroing post). Unlike the xm5 if you have an iphone, the airpod will automatically link to your iphone once you turn it on. Its not that much more to pair with the xm5 over bluetooth but its still a tad more convenient. I for one opted to just get sony inzone earbuds to pair alongside my airpods pro 2. The inzones are much better for my needs since they have a dongle for ultra low latency gaming.
AngryMobe 1.0I would check out Sony’s Inzone earbuds instead. They have active noise cancellation and are overall much better in sounds
Atomic_Teapot_84 1.0I use the Sony inzone buds, and use a USBC to a adapter to plug in the dongle. Never had disconnection issues and the noise cancelling is great too.
AuthoringInProgress 1.0I wound up getting the Sony inzone buds, which work well and have really nice noise cancelation
AVasquez81 1.0How are these with the mic. i recently purchased the inzone buds for my ps5 and the moment I join a game chat they complain about how bad I sound. Echoey (like if I am sitting in the bathroom) or too loud. About to return these buds to get the steelseries buds. Kinda tired of over the ear headphones
badassknightSR 1.0I use INZONE buds and I love them, I always hated how bad the delay was on my previous pair so I specifically went for ones that wouldn't have that issue. Thankfully my phone supports LE-audio so I can use them without the dongle, but on handheld systems like Steam Deck the dongle doesn't bother me.
bert_lifts 1.0sony inzone buds. Also have the best continuous battery life which is a huge factor for gaming.
I've heard that complaint too. Personally, I don't have any static noise on my buds.
bluops 1.0I also use the inzone buds! It took a little while to get over the white noise when quiet, I think it's the low noise ceiling or something? An audiophile can correct me :) I love these earbuds though, I use them for work calls, the ps5, the pc, steam deck. They're so comfortable!
