Definite recommendation at the right price point

For my use case, they're great. Linking is simple, and it's become second nature to just pop them in when I start up my PS Portal. As far as fit goes, they're not as heavy as I had read they might be, and there are enough eartips in different sizes to accommodate your size (I had to bump to the next highest in my case). On the whole, they're very comfortable. The sound is great, although since I'm playing Witcher 3, I'm not sure how much it's taking advantage of the 3D sound capabilities. Also, no discernable lag -- the PS Link capability works as advertised. Definitely an upgrade over regular earbuds or using a Bluetooth adapter. On the whole, I definitely recommend if you can swing it at a good price point (I picked them up at $150). At full price, it might be a reach (hence, knocking the "Value" down a star).

You need these expensive buds to pair with portal?

Not thrilled about the price tag. But after learning i can play my portal out on the go with my phones free unlimited hot spot... I figured i wanted the ear buds. I have an old turtle beach i like if its cool enough to wear full over ear headset. Those ear cups get sweaty if i need to chat in summertime. So i felt it was beneficial to get. Not cheap, the sound is bassy and muddy. But i can pair to my phone and play my music while being paired to ps5. So i can actually play my music and not just what i can find available on spotify, plus have the ads. Play my music. Thats huge.

They work great for PS5 and you can pair to your phone at the same time. so you can play your games and still be capable of answering your phone with the same Bluetooth headset. Simply Awesome!

Best Gaming Headphones

They could fit a little better even after changing out the rubber ear piece but sound quality is amazingand definitely worth the price don't hurt for wearing long periods of time like normal ear muffs headphones no neck band to worry about

I’ve used better but they’re OK

They aren’t bad, but if you play 6 hours daily then I wouldn’t recommend because the battery life isnt that great. That’s my only true complaint. Should be $50 dollars cheaper also. Everything else is tolerable

Save your money

The case is really cool battery is good but my problem is they felt weird in my ear an everyone I gamed with said it sounded like I was under water so the microphone itself isn’t good. I had to return them. Not to mention the price is a bit steep for what they are. Don’t recommended. I’ll just stick to my beats.

Looks are deceiving….

First of all, the battery is excellent, second of all no matter which pair of tips you put in it just seems as if they don’t sit right. Third of all you’re just paying for the way they were made, I thought that they would at least be loud enough to play games while waiting for the train, plane, but no. And lastly, they are not worth the money that I paid for them. They’re being returned. P. S. I love the way the little case looks other than that looks aren’t everything.

Not what I thought

They didn’t connect the way. I thought they would for that reason and the necessary go around. I don’t find them necessary and will be sending them back

Not as great as everyone says

Poor battery life. I have an extra pair of RIG Headsets which cost about the same price and you get more bang for your buck. If you’re a gamer who plays for hours don’t get these. Go grab some RIGs headphones.
