They aren't just great for gaming, either. I often use these while I'm out doing yard work or walking the dog, thanks to their snug fit. I also appreciate that they have physical buttons instead of touch controls, which helps prevent accidental track skips during intense workouts. While they may not sound as sharp as some of our other favorite nongaming wireless earbuds, they have a clear and punchy sound profile that works just fine for a little Steely Dan. The noise canceling is surprisingly adept too. I recently took a short flight with just these and didn't bring my usual Sony over-ear ANC headset, and they worked perfectly for squeezing in a few hours of Donkey Kong Bonanza without missing out on that great soundtrack.
