While many of thebest gaming earbudsprovide seriously high-quality audio, for the most part, they’re not necessarily designed for use with VR.
That’s where Japanese brand Final’s VR2000 gaming earbuds come in. Available now for $69.99 / £59.99 (around AU$111) atAmazonand other participating retailers, the VR2000 earbuds are primarily designed for use with some of thebest VR headsetsincludingPSVR 2and the recently launchedMeta Quest 3.
The Final VR2000 gaming earbuds feature custom-made ‘f-Core DU’ 6mm dynamic drivers. Final says that the driver’s front housing is made from brass, which isn’t as impeded by outside magnetic force, leading to an overall jump in quality. On that note, the brand claims they “achieve a quality of sound that is unheard of at this price range.” Potentially, then, the VR2000 buds could help add extra layers of immersion to thebest VR gamesplayable today.
Of course, these gaming earbuds are also designed for practical use, be that non-VR gaming or for just listening to music. The buds are designed to make full use of Dolby Atmos, for example. And given their VR-first application, likely sounds great with thePlayStation 5’s Tempest 3D Audio enabled, too.
A 1.2m cable and in-line microphone complete the VR2000’s setup, meaning you’ll also be able to use them for phone calls or voice chat with friends online. I can imagine that they’d be a top fit for VR multiplayer games where audio is a pretty crucial element, likePavlov VR, Among Us VR,or indeed some of thebest horror gamesavailable on virtual reality headsets.
The Final VR2000 gaming earbuds could be a great fit for some of thebest PSVR 2 games, too. But if you’d prefer a more traditional pair of headphones, consider browsing ourbest wireless gaming headsetslist for more top recommendations.
