I’m looking for recommendations for earbuds that I can use with my Steam Deck, ideally also being fairly useful for general use with an Android phone.

I don’t play a lot of rythm games, but it would be ideal if they were relatively low latency (for Bluetooth at least).

I’ve seen the epos gtw 270s but I’m not keen on the dongle so they’ll essentially just be Bluetooth anyway?

The Jabra 7 Elites look to be better overall buds but there are complaints about latency, not sure what it’s like with the deck?

    I don’t have a lot to compare them to, but I’m using a pair of Pixel Bud Pro. They are really nice and the sound quality is good.

    I use my Pixel Buds A-series and they work fine, but I haven’t played any games that require low latency.

    AptX got open sourced in March this year, I’m hoping to see it come to the deck to help with latency.

    I use my pixel buds pro and they work just fine with low latency. I have it so it audio switches seamlessly when I turn it on.

    I don’t have top of the line earbuds but the Bluetooth latency kills me. It’s just enough to be really irritating and rhythm games are infuriating. I’ve been trying to find 2.4ghz dongle type but none I could find seemed any good.
