EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid Wireless Gaming Earbuds, Bluetooth & USB-C Dongle, Noise Reducing Closed Design, Dual Mics, Ergonomic Fit, IPX 5 Water Resistant, Portable Charging Case, 20 Hours of Playtime

Been using these with the steam deck and the experience has been great. The charging case is all metal and very nice feeling. The sound is great to my ears. No ANC but the passive noise isolation is still great. They recently came out with a firmware update where you can use the mic while using the low latency dongle so that's great. While I would not use it since the mic isn't that good, if you need it it's there and that's nice. if these had a longer battery life then I would use them for my long gaming sessions on my desktop, but for now, I use these primarily for my steam deck and they've been great for it. I also kind of wish these were a little bit louder but the volume is still respectable. These are comfy too and include 4 different sizes of earbuds. if you're looking for desktop earphones then I would probably stick to wired earphones since the battery life is only 4 hrs, but if you're looking for earphones for a handheld like steam deck or switch, then I recommend these.

******WARNING********DO NOT BUY THESE EARBUDSPros:-Low Latency with dongle-Decent sound quality (if you can ever get them to work correctly)Cons:-Horrible Battery Life-You will need to pair them every time you fully charge them. For some reason when fully charged you will not longer be able to connect through bluetooth. Dongle will work.-You will need to pair them every couple of days or the max volume is 15%. I have tried every single fix for this including trying to get the latest firmware. Which is a PAIN IN THE ASS to do,-Touch controls on earbuds did not work (I assumed it didnt have any until i looked it up)-HORRIBLE mic quality-EPOS Gaming Suite is trash on PC. It is even worse on the app (which most of you will not use because the EPOS app on your phone will not connect to these buds)***********DO NOT BUY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**************

They looked nice, the case is solid, the charging and battery life was showing as good.But then I used them.So here's how my experience went - first paired them with my MacBook Pro and used that to listen to some music on both iTunes and Spotify - they had a good punchy bass sound to them and a very nice mid/high levels. I was excited to say the least because I was looking for a good set of wireless buds to pair with my Steam Deck.So then I tried them with my iPhone and iPad - again good quality, solid pairing and same nice punchy sounds. I tried a game on my iPhone and all was good. No noticeable latency between the screen and the audio - so far again I'm excited.Then I paired them with my Steam Deck/Switch and that is where things went tits up. First there was the fun of getting them paired in the first place. They did not want to no matter what I did. Then suddenly out of the blue - they just were paired with my Steam Deck. So let's try some games, fired up some Spider-man and initially, it was ok. Then crackles occasionally ... then pops ... then desync and my audio was coming in a good 4-5 seconds after what was going on screen. Then the left side lost audio entirely. Then the right side was not working but the left side was just intermittently cracking.So I thought, maybe it's a firmware issue. So I did the required firmware update (yes I was on the launch firmware) and initially ok sounds a little better. So I thought, let me try gaming with them on the MBP instead. Put them into pairing again, got them connected. Tested with Spotify - all was good again no crackling. Started playing a game and again good for about 15' then it went to heck in a handbasket again. So I pushed through because I wanted to test the battery life ... I got 1.5 hours out of a FULLY charged set before they died.I am so disappointed because my other wired EPOS headphones are literally my go to. They are so much worse than my cheaper ones from Pamu/Padmate. This is embarrassing ...Also you can't do the use a single bud until it dies and swap it out with these. That makes these inferior to simple Airpods WTF and these are supposedly made by Senheiser?!

Got these "used" from amazon warehouse deal for half price and could have fooled me, other than the box being unsealed they were brand new and perfect condition. These perform absolutely fine for my intended purpose of wireless earbuds for music and light gaming on my mixed use work PC that don't look like obnoxious "gamer" headphones.Sound quality won't blow you away but they're certainly as good as you can expect at this price range.Saw some reviews complain about poor noise cancellation but they don't claim to have that feature--it is "noise reducing" as in the sealed design of an IEM type of earbud will block out most noise and they do a fairly good job of that.A recent firmware update fixed a few connection bugs I had and finally added the ability to use the microphone over the USB dongle.Overall very satisfied with these earbuds!That said, don't know if I'd say these are worth full price, but for what I paid, they are excellent.
