Looking for earbuds for Android and low-latency PC use

I'm looking for earbuds to use mainly with my PC for video editing, music, and gaming, with occasional use on my phone during workouts.

Requirements:

  • Decent battery life

  • 5.1 surround sound

  • Low latency on both PC and phone

  • Microphone doesn't need to be high quality, just not inaudible during phone calls

So far, the Arctis GameBuds seem like a solid option, but I’d like to hear other opinions before deciding.
Budget is $150–200.

If wireless then well what phone do you have and what bluetooth component is in the pc? Because the mess is starting!

 

Also on pc expect to FIGHT with windows bluetooth tooth and nail to notnhave it destroy your audio quality when calling even tho you meet all the required specs 😛

My mobo supports BT 5.3 but I'll exclusively use dongle if available. Phone is samsung a35.

Well you'd want those that come with 2.4GHz dongle.
