best gaming earbuds
I love video games. I admit it. Life is hard enough paying bills, being responsible, and trying to maintain a home for my family. You know what I mean – being an adult. I am not a hardcore gamer yet. I still haven’t played this Fortnite game everyone is raving about. Still, I’m learning that you must have the best equipment to make the most of the gaming experience. Like headphones. Over 31% of people use headphones every day – usually, noise canceling headphones, which may create disruptive sound occurrences while canceling out background noise. Here are two of the best gaming earbuds I’ve found.

Finding the Best Gaming Earbuds

Ultimately, I am learning that sound isolating earbuds are the best for appreciating the sound design in video games. Sound isolating earbuds form a snugger fit inside the ear and can aurally immerse you in the gaming experience. Distinction and variety in headphones are big business, as headphone and earbud manufacturers will make about $14 billion annually by 2023.

If you opt for sound isolating earbuds, just be sure to be aware of your environment. They block out sounds very well. There is nothing wrong with staying young inside, but as an adult, you can’t completely block out the world either.

Shure SE215-K Sound Isolating Earphones with Single Dynamic MicroDriver


These are extremely comfortable and durable earbuds. You can throw them on a table or drop them without worry. The earbuds are ergonomically designed to fit snugly in the ears without causing discomfort. This ergonomic design also helps with sound isolation. The Shure SE215-K earbuds can block out up to 37 decibels of ambient noise.

They come with flexible wires that can hook over the ear to provide a more comfortable and fitted wearing experience. The sounds emitted through these earbuds are crystal clear and bass rich. The Shure SE215-Kearbuds were designed after the sound monitoring earphones that music producers utilize. Aesthetically speaking, these earbuds may look cheap, but they are high quality. They come with a one-year warranty and cost about $100.

Sony MDRXB50AP Extra Bass Earbud Headset


These earbuds provide a high-frequency sound response and for great for music listening or gaming purposes. They include neodymium magnets for enhanced, quality sound. The earbuds are constructed from a hybridized silicone substance for a comfortable fit. Its earbud housings contain 12mm dome driver units which enable rich sounds and powerful bass.

These Sony earbuds features an integrated microphone. They also have playback controls for smartphone use. Small, medium, and large sized earbud sleeves are provided to maximize comfort. They come with a 90-day warranty and cost about $30.

Quality Trumps Cost

For gaming, I recommend looking for earbuds with sound isolating qualities that cost in the neighborhood of $30 to about $100. Unless you are a hardcore gamer or a music producer, you don’t really need gaming earbuds over $200. The best gaming earbuds enhance your gaming experience, and won’t drain your wallet.
