Wired earbuds for gaming?

[Soujiro1337]

Due to a medical condition, I am unable to use over-the-head headsets. Any recommendations?

 

Currently looking at Logitech's G333, but wanted to check here before making any purchases...

Apple earpods. They are dirt cheap and good.

 

The logitechs are super genric and you can get great stuff for that price

[HanZie82]

in ear buds?
Why go for a gaming(/PC) brand and not an audio brand?

How are you putting "Apple" and "dirt cheap" in the same sentence?

They are a solid 7/10. Which is basically same as the logitechs

Oh yes that i can fully believe!
Thats also why i asked why go for a brand like that and not some that actually does audio well.

I agree, but sub-$20 can be easier to swallow than almost $100 for a lot of people.  Think that's the bigger issue for most.

I went for gaming because of what brands I'm used to, but these seem great! Thanks for the recommendation.

What's the budget?

 

~20$ => QKZ x HBB or the 7HZ Salnotes Zero

~50$ => Truthear Crinacle Zero

~130$ => Simgot EM6L

Since these are going to be semi-permanent, gonna be using them for a couple of years maybe, budget is high. 100+ is fine, as long as they are good, wired and have microphone.

 

The EM6L look nice but don't have incorporated mic...

The point of these is to add your own mic as they have detachable cables

There's also the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite, those are about $250.

There are even pricier (and better) options, but going above $250 is not something I'd do so I don't usually recommend it.

This is true. All of them have detachable 2-pin cables and one can add a cable that has a microphone built-in.

Or, the better option, use a desk microphone. There are plenty to choose, even in the sub %50 range.

Thank you all for the help, it was very informative! Cheers

Truth ear nova is coming soon and is said to be almost as good as the blessing by the people who tested it pre release
