Console Compatibility: PC, PlayStation
The best wireless gaming earbuds we’ve tested are the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed True Wireless. They have a wireless USB-C dongle for a low-latency gaming experience on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, and also support Bluetooth for when you want to use them with your phone. These buds also work well for music listening as they have a balanced sound profile out of the box, with a good amount of thump, boom, and sparkle. They also come with a 10-band EQ if you’d like to tailor the sound to your preferences. Thanks to their diminutive size, these are a portable and flexible pick if you don’t want to invest in both true wireless earbuds and a wireless headset.
On the other hand, because they fit in your ears, their soundstage is not wide or spacious, and their battery life of just over five hours can’t compete with any of the other picks on this list on a single charge, although their case supplies four extra charges. If you like the idea of multi-use gaming earbuds but would prefer a longer battery life, consider the ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova, which lasts about ten hours. In addition to an EQ for sound customization, these earbuds have a slightly lower latency and support multi-device pairing, so you can listen to music on your phone while gaming.
That said, the Razer have superior combined ANC and isolation than the ASUS buds, so they better filter out environmental noise, and you can easily use them to talk with teammates because their microphone intelligibly captures your voice and suppresses background noise well. If you’re tired of heavy headsets, live in a hot environment, or generally want to free your ears, these wireless earbuds can solve those issues, as long as you’re not a marathon gamer. Check out the rest of our picks for the best earbuds for gaming.
