20 Best Wired Earbuds For Gaming (2023 Updated)

I purchased the Klim Fusion Earbuds with Mic Audio Long-Lasting Wired Ear buds in March of 2020. As of July 2020 there has developed a defect with the plug. There is a noticeable “crackling” sound when plugging the ear buds into a device.

This crackling creates distortion that causes Android Bixby to inadvertently activate. I’ve also noticed that this defect is apparently causing phone calls to drop. The sound quality of the ear buds seems average to above average.

However, to be called “Long-Lasting” seems ironic for these KLIM earbuds. I have contacted KLIM to see if I can obtain a warranty replacement. Perhaps my particular ear buds were defective and I will have a completely different experience with a replacement pair.

Until then, I cannot recommend this product.

Don’t buy this, excellent packing no quality music or sound. Just focus is on the packaging. Buy 2 drivers from below 5 and they will sound better than this.

These are the best corded earbuds I’ve ever tried. This pair is a gift for a friend, I love mine so much I bought her a pair. I find the cord a little to long, but otherwise, I love these.

Having used open-backed headphones and atmos speaker setups in the past, I was apprehensive about what an IEM could achieve in terms of soundstage. After using these, I was thoroughly impressed. My primary use is for VR gaming, and for this they are perfect, providing accurate positional information and solid external sound isolation.

In terms of low-end, their bass response is respectable, and whilst they didn’t give the same extensive rumble as I was used to from larger over-ear headphones, their low-frequency output is very clean and precise.

Where they really excel is in the upper registry of sounds, something which is clearly heard in the realistic presence of footsteps and dialogue in games. The fact that their frequency response is so ‘flat’ also means that their sound produced little to no fatigue for me, even at higher volumes.

Something which is important to consider for those who prefer longer gaming sessions. Although music isn’t necessarily their intended use, I found them perfectly enjoyable in this use case. Sharp transients such as string plucks and higher registry information come through beautifully, and where demanded by the track, their low-end output remains satisfying.

The only negative I would mention regarding these IEMs is their shape. The polygonal design meant that the edge of the unit sat uncomfortably against my outer ear, but this may be due to my inexperience with wearing IEMs and/or the shape of my ears, so your experience may vary.

Regardless, it didn’t really detract from my experience until a couple hours into a session. In summary, these IEMs provide great positional audio for VR and games, with a transparent, authentic reproduction of the whole frequency range.

For those on the fence about a pair of IEMs for VR, I definitely recommend these. As a side note, the delivery from ATA was fast and the package was more than adequately secured/padded.

Probably this review is not for audiophiles, because I’m not one, neither I know of their expectations and experiences. Well, this is not even a proper review too : I would just elaborate my experience here, might help people like us : Recently (around 2 months now) collected two other cheap items : CCA C4 & CCA C10PRO : C4 seems to blust inside my head which got a little better with C10 pro with a better soundstage : bass representation got better too.

But the overall sound is not quite pleasing to my taste : something was missing, or may be the sound is too much sparkly : lacking naturalness. And my craving for wider soundstage made me keep searching while listening to mainly C10pro and occasionally going back to my very old Bose AE2 ( a pair of over the ear headphones) when I’m tired of c10pro’s sound.

I’m mostly watching web series or movies, generally in HQ ( sound-wise too !) and occasionally some older collection of. flac etc audio files. Apart from extended duration of usages of the above mentioned iems and headphones I used a pair of stock earphones that came with my 2005 edition of Sony Walkman, a tiny creative earphones and two OnePlus Bluetooth wireless2 neckbands : till all 4 of them died on me.

And now I found this little piece of gem : FINAL VR 3000 and my search for earphones and headphones ends here. If I need to buy another one for some reason I would certainly buy VR 3000 again, and again haha! If Final keep making them available in market.

That’s it. Oh! Very rarely I reach out for an external DAC when I use this VR3000 and I use only this now : all the time! For every kind of audio resources. “Gracias” -from my ears !.

I read the rest of the reviews here at HPZ, many of them saying it is too flat, and I agree. But the flatness brings a wonderful surprise, it scales like anything and half with a better source! I tried it with my ifi zen dac, sound was meh.

Tried with the newly acquired (on sale) A&K XB10, sound was ok. Then tried with my old fiio X5 iii, which is sonically extremely capable, though getting too long in tooth software side. With X5 iii the ifi sings like a proper well matched hifi! Immense soundstage, wonderful voices and instruments, transition from silence to music gives me goosebumps.

In a nutshell, pair it with a source three times the cost and it’s a thing of beauty. cable can not be detached, at least i couldn’t take it off, sad about it.

These Logitech G333 VR Gaming Earphones are just about average, in my opinion, for a gaming earphone. If I hadn’t known they were “Logitech” brand, I would have thought they were simply a basic, no-name set, mainly because there was really no outstanding performance from these.

On the positive side, for a corded earphone set, the flat, tangle-free cable is nice and long, allowing for unfettered movement, although it is a bit heavier than average. The beautiful blue color of the buds themselves really stands out and is pleasant to look at.

Once they are placed in the ears, however, you no longer see the pretty color, but you do start seeing their “true colors”, so to speak! The buds are somewhat larger than most – at nearly 1 inch long – and rather uncomfortable for any length of time in the ear.

As mentioned, these earphones were just average in sound quality. They did not produce any static or other annoying sounds in use, but they just did not sound like a Logitech-quality device. There was a very faint “hissing” sound in both buds, which was constant regardless of the game that was being played, and more than once, the right earphone seemed to cut out.

As for the microphone, folks reported that they detected an “echo” effect from my audio. Considering these issues, I believe that purchasers of these Logitech earphones – at their current price point – will be somewhat disappointed.

Sound isn’t fantastic. Lows/mids are tuned way too high so it’s all a bit muddy. All 3 stars are strictly for the functionality and convenience as Oculus headphones. Making the left bud shorter and providing straps to attach to the headset is pretty nice, and I will say they’re better than the sound that comes out of the Oculus so it is a step up from that.

I’m not sure if that’s worth $50 though. HOWEVER, if you’re using your Oculus with a link cable and a computer you can download a parametric equalizer like EqualizerAPO with the Peace interface. There’s a project called AutoEQ that contains sliders for equalizer software for tons of different earbuds and headphones in an effort to more closely reach the Harman Target Curve.

Make sure EqualizerAPO installs to all of your Windows sound devices including your Oculus and find the G333 section on AutoEQ Project’s github page. There are also YouTube videos explaining how to do this in much more depth.

It turned sound quality on the G333’s from a 3 or a 4/10 to a solid 7 or 8 in my opinion. The instructions above make a world of difference to the more tech savvy audiophiles who aren’t afraid to play around with EQ software.

I’m not affiliated with the AutoEQ project, but it has made every pair of headphones I own sound better on my PC by just tuning the equalizers a little bit. Give it a shot if you’re inclined.

I was initially really excited for these but was completely let down after opening them and trying them out. Main issues: – These desperately needed either an ear loop or fins to hold them in place. The tiniest of movements causes them to pop out regardless of what size insert was attached.

– while you can see where they were going with the overall length of the cables attached to keep wires from dabgling there simply isn’t enough slack and they can easily pull out of your ears with a head turn (not counting the issue with fitment already) – the sound quality is atrocious.

While the price point here isn’t insane, they sound like earbuds you get for free at a marketing event.

Nice earphones, they are loud if you turn it up, goes well with Nintendo switch color. I really like them as far as I know no problems. You can remove the mic it’s detachable if you don’t feel like talking to people, or you just want to watch some Hulu.

To me it’s worth $16 dollars. Recommended purchase.

Good value

Came next day kid was very excited I stepped on his other headphones but they look so cool the other kid wants some now

So it was a decent price but for my personal comfort, these ear headphones are not the best. The cable felt kinda short for how I wanted and planned to use it – with my laptop. The earbuds hurt my ear after like 8-10 minutes of wearing them, might just be my ear shape so that’s just my experience.

I like the color, the sound quality, the price like I already mentioned, and the ease of setup and use otherwise.

They fit me well, but the best thing about these is the volume. They are somehow a little louder than all my other ear buds. Or maybe the sound quality is just that much better that I catch more nuance.

(I have never been a big fan of the “bass boosters”. I like all the frequency bands to be well represented. ) I have many varieties of Sony and other brands, so that’s what I compare them to. I use them in bed and they stay in place rather well as I roll around.

Also, they last a long time. These are not my first pair, and likely not my last.

I absolutely love these headphones!! They last normally over 8 months to a year for me,when most headphones have a max life of 6 months for me. They’re extremely comfortable and they’re loud,without being screechy or having bad quality.

The buds (When it’s the version with the ear buds) don’t hurt my ears and are very comfortable. They used to be at my local Wal-Mart,but now I can’t find them there anymore,so I get them from Amazon.

There’s nothing I like better after a stressful day than putting these headphones in and jamming to whatever music I want to,or watching a video on YouTube or listening to a language course online. I can listen to them as loudly or as softly as I want,without disturbing any of my family members,and these headphones work very well for cancelling out most noise.

I can’t describe how many times using them have helped me calm down and have saved my sanity on a rough day. I mean,who doesn’t love having a pair of great headphones,especially ones that don’t even cost fifteen dollars?? I can’t recommend these enough,they’re the only headphones I can genuinely say that I love to death.

I definitely recommend picking a pair up,or ordering a pair if you can’t find them in stores. I also believe Wal-Mart has them online in some areas still.

Ear loop fits very well, nice and light- not too bulky. Capable of having only left ear in and right ear free which I prefer. Recipients report that my voice is wonderfully clear and dulcet. Definitely recommend.

I bought these to replace a more expensive gaming set as just a temporary solution but I think I’ll stay with them. The sound is okay enough and my comms are apparently very clear. They are portable and don’t get too tangled, plus the microphone boom is detachable.

TranslateShow in original languageWybrałem je, bo były najdyskretniejsze w swoim wykonaniu. Czarne, małe, jak włożę je do ucha, to nawet kabel zlewa się z moim włosami. Dźwiękowo przypadły mi do gustu, chociaż musiałam przywyknąć do mniejszej ilości basu, niż w moich dużych słuchawkach.

Teraz są na mega wyprzedaży, więc polecam.

I’ve had bad experiences with Razer products in the past and was weary to purchase these (I needed in ears with an in line mic) after about a month of use the earphones them self are comfortable now, the memory foam tips were a nice touch although a second pair would’ve been nice as they’re extremely flimsy.

The sound cancelling is okay, not the best but gets the job done. The sound depth is surprisingly full, again not the best but these aren’t considered top-of-the-line and are about as good as I would expect from something within this price range.

HRTF and other directional audio work great with these too, so perfect for low-profile gaming. The in-line mice is decent and sensitive enough to capture my voice even when I’m speaking quietly, sound is pretty flat but it’s meant for gaming not recording audio.

Overall, pretty good for it’s price but Razer products are notorious for their mics breaking so I will see how we go.

I’d change or add alot of things. 1 power on indicator. 2. Power level indicator. 3 reset of the power. Most of the time I have no clue what’s going on with them…..

These headphones are amazing I use them with my iPhone and the sound is crystal clear. And for the price I paid it was a steal. Keeping my eye out on them for another sale to get my entire family a pair.

Title says it all – Breton recently ‘upgraded’ the B750s, replacing the slide volume control with a button control that does not work on certain devices, including my Cowan mp3 player. I loved the earlier product design.

Why is it that ‘upgrades’ often end up as downgrades? At any rate, I returned the headset and went elsewhere to order a Sennheiser headset with a slide volume control. Too bad Breton had to screw up a good thing.

These in-ear headphones are of outstanding value, producing excellent sound quality music when connected to smart phones, tablets or MP3 players. The bass reproduction is quite outstanding for a product that costs so little.

I already own four of these headphones because of their superb quality and low cost.

The sound quality is faultless, but you need to choose the correct rubber inserts for your earshape. Good bass & best used with an equalizer like Viper FX for android. Cable looks strong, but does seem to transmit noise from rubbing on clothing.

For this reason they are best suited to relaxing in an armchair or bed.

Just what I needed for a father’s day project at church. I was using clear, plastic cake/treat boxes and putting the paper shreds inside. The color is very bright and vibrant. The shreds fluffed up nicely so I didn’t have to use a lot for it to appear full.

I received several compliments on the project. The fathers were very happy!.

I don’t like earbuds and I only use them a few times a year when I am at the beach to block out noise while I listen to my ipod or spotify on my iphone. For regular portable listening I prefer Koss Portapros or KSC-35’s which sound much better than these or any other cheap earbud that I have tried.

In their stock form, the KEB15i do not sound good. The ear cushions that come with them did not work well with my ears, but the same can be said for other cheap earbuds that I have tried. In order to get an acceptable seal I had to use Comply foam tips (which cost as much or more than the headphones).

Also, there is a paper cover over the end of the port that significantly degrades the sound. I removed it with a pin. With the cover removed and with the Comply foam tips, they sound a little better than the JVC Marshmallows I was previously using.

The midrange is a little more refined and accurate compared to the JVC’s. They are much better than the Monoprice earbuds I have tried and they sound a little better than the cheap Panasonics I have also tried.

These are a fairly solid “cheap” entry option. Cons: -The fit is so-so. They won’t stay in during exercise or any other hard exertion. -They are not the most damage resistant ear buds (had one line tear right out with a slight tug.

) -The bar control, on the wire, can be finicky when used with some applications (such as Google Play. ) -THE WIRE IS THE MOST ANNOYING, STICKY THING EVER Pros: -The sound is solid for the price range.

There’s a bit of bass and the range is acceptable. -The price is right. Conclusion: Get them for easy, general use application and buy the warranty.

In general, the headphones are fine, they do what they offer. However, comparing them with the previous models, the materials leave much to be desired. The previous versions used metal (I suppose aluminum) this version, it is already only plastic.

It includes a bag to store them, when the previous model included a rigid case (which protects a lot). They are just fine, I was a bit disappointed by the materials. The sound is good, the clarity is good, the microphone is fine.

Sound is okayish. The buds have this weird angle which hurts ears easily.

TranslateShow in original languageHabe mir dieses Produkt bestellt, da ich mir von Razer eine genau so gute Qualität, wie bei ihren Computern erwartet habe. Leider wurden meine ERWARTUNGEN NICHT ERFÜLLT.

Zwar sticht dieses Gerät mit seiner Soundqualität, einem guten Kabel und sogar einem Aufbewahrungssackerl mit Kabelklemme aus Gummi hervor, leider ist aber der 3,5mm AUX-ANSCHLUSS etwas ZU KLEIN so, dass es sehr schnell bei minimalster Belastung HINAUSRUTSCHT! Weitere KRITERIEN für meinen Kauf waren die, in den Bildern angezeigten KNÖPFE, für die Lautstärkenregulierung und zum Abheben und Auflegen.

Es hat zwar den Schalter zum Mikrofon ausschalten (allerdings nicht gleich aussehend), doch die anderen DREI KNÖPFE FEHLEN KOMPLETT so, dass eine NUTZUNG, wie angegeben, als HEADSET NICHT FUNKTIONAL und ratsam ist, da man sowohl zum ABHEBEN und AUFLEGEN, sowie zum LAUTSTÄRKEREGULIEREN das ANGESCHLOSSENE GERÄT NUTZEN MUSS!!! Werde die Kopfhörer zurückgeben.
