If you’re looking for gaming earbuds and don’t mind going refurbished, the Anker Soundcore VR P10 wireless gaming earbuds are currently down to $53.19 (from the usual $79.99 for a new pair). They connect over Bluetooth or with the included USB-C transmitter, and can easily switch between the two. Plus, the transmitter also doubles as a pass-through charger, meaning you can keep playing or working while your earbuds charge.
While these earbuds are designed for the Meta Quest 2 VR headset, they’re also compatible with the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, giving them a bit of versatility. That said, don’t count on using them with an Xbox, as they are not supported. You can customize the sound profile and adjust the RGB lights via the Soundcore app, though the app doesn’t work when the earbuds are connected through the transmitter—your settings will stay, but you can’t make on-the-fly changes, according to this PCMag review.
The battery life of the VR P10 is pretty standard at six hours per charge (according to the manufacturer), with the case extending that up to 24 hours. The IPX4 rating on the earbuds means they can handle a bit of sweat during your workout, but don’t go tossing the case into your gym bag post-workout expecting it to be water-resistant—it’s not. As for the sound quality, they’re reportedly a bit underwhelming and lacks that oomph of rich depth. If you want an earpiece with more bass, you might want to check out the Razer Barracuda X headset at $99.
