Best Gaming Earbuds With Mics of 2023

Best Gaming Earbuds:
The BlueFire 3.5MM Gaming Earbuds

The BlueFire 3.5MM gaming earbuds are our number one recommended value pick for those looking for great gaming earbuds for under $20. The amount of features you’re getting is unrivaled for the price.

Obviously no matter how good a headset looks, if the sound is bad, nothing else matters. Fortunately, Bluefire has made sure to create a pair of gaming earbuds that provide clear sounds. For gaming, this allows you to hear your opponent's footsteps and any other subtle sounds most earbuds miss.

Bluefire has really knocked it out of the park with their BlueFire 3.5 MM gaming earbuds. The BlueFire gaming earbuds are very stylish. For fans of a modern look and you wouldn’t mind wearing these anywhere.

One major concern with earbuds is all the noise coming in from the outside world.

Bluefire has addressed this concern by making their gaming earbuds noise canceling. This is what really put these earbuds in a league of their own. Noise cancellation allows you to really immerse yourself in the game like none of its competitors can.

The mic is also a very important part of earbuds  used for gaming, and the Bluefire Earbuds do a very good job in this department. Obviously, they won’t compete with a dedicated mic, but they’re very clear and people on the other end can hear what you’re saying with surprising clarity.

Also on top of all of these features, the BlueFire gaming earbuds come with an extender cable which makes these earbuds seven feet long!

The only flaw with these earbuds would be the bass being a bit heavy at times for some.

If you’re looking for something that’s portable, affordable, and still provides amazing sound, then the BlueFire gaming earbuds are hard to beat. If we had to recommend one pair under $20, then this is it!

Runner-Up:
The KLIM Fusion Gaming Earbuds

Klim’s stylish earbuds instantly draw in buyers from the moment they lay eyes on them, but what keeps them is the sound quality and great mic in a portable package.

If you’re willing to spend a few extra dollars to get a high-quality set of gaming earbuds, then you want to pick these up.

There’s nothing worse than being totally immersed in a game and then getting taken out of that experience because of your earbuds annoying you. Well, with Klim’s memory foam earbuds, that won’t ever be a problem. Because of this memory foam, these earbuds are able to contour to every person's unique ear!

When you first look at these earbuds from Klim,you could easily attach a price point of around $30. Fortunately, you’re not paying anything near that, but you are getting earbuds that could rival those in that price range.

We’ve never seen anything like this at such an affordable price.

Outside of the comfort features, the Klim gaming earbuds check all the other boxes. The sound is amazing and the mic is clear, with no major issues. The design is ideal and screams gamer, but could also be worn around the town without drawing too much attention.

This company is also really serious about creating a quality product, and they offer a five-year warranty. So if you ever have any issues, you’re able to get completely new earbuds free of charge.

With all that being said, Klim really has earned their spot on this list. If you’re looking for very comfortable gaming earbuds, then the Klim gaming earbuds are something you may want to take a look at.

You don’t get a detachable mic with this, but Klim has included splitter cables which will allow you to separate your audio and mic inputs on the PC. Klim has really gone above and beyond with these earbuds!

3. Edifier P270 In-Ear Earbuds

These earbuds are another great affordable option. Not only are these earbuds cheap, and able to be used for just about everything, but they’re also pretty good for gaming, as well.

Design

We love the Edifier's design. They're not super-colorful or anything, but instead, look like a high-quality product. These earbuds are small, but still fit incredibly well, and while these aren’t noise cancelling, they still block out most outside sounds.

You can also get the Edifier earbuds in different colors for those who aren’t a fan of the all-black look.

Sound

Okay, on one hand the Edifiers sound is a great feature because of how balanced and clear it is, but on the other hand, we wish that there was more bass.

If you care less for deep bass and more for earbuds that will allow you to feel like you physically hear those sounds in the game world, then the Edifier is a good fit for you.

Mic

The Edifier P270’s mic isn’t the best due to it being inline, but other than that, the voice quality is good and people can hear you just fine.

So if you care less about a good mic, then the Edifier is a good choice.

Any Issues?

One peeve with the Edifiers is that the bass is lacking compared to some of the other gaming earbuds that appear on this list. That doesn't mean these earbuds have no bass, but if you’re looking for deep bass, then these aren’t for you.

Another issue is that the cord isn’t the best and if you’re aggressive with your earbuds they might not last you that long.

You do get a one-year warranty, which is one of the main reasons why we recommend this to people on a budget. If you have any issues, you can use a replacement without any hassle.

4. Symphonized NRG 3.0 Premium In-Ear Earbuds

At first glance, you can tell why the NRG 3.0’s are popular. They’re made of wood and sound great. There really isn’t much to hate about these earbuds. Not only are they beautiful, but they come with an array of different buds that are all different sizes and styles so that everyone can find the best fit.

If you like to game in style, the NRG earbuds are a great buy. The Symphonized brand has continued their impressive lineup by now offering their 3.0 earbuds.

Design

Symphonized is known for making some of the best-looking earbuds around, and it just didn’t feel right to leave them off this list when they’re so affordable.

First off, these earbuds look like they cost about triple of what you’re going to pay. So if looks are your thing, then these are already a good buy, but you also get a braided cable that will make these headphones last for a long time, making this an even greater deal.

Sound

While, we love the appearance of these earbuds, ultimately, the most important thing about a pair of gaming earbuds is the sound.

Due to these earbuds having a wooden housing, you can expect some amazing bass and clear sounds. These earbuds are also noise cancelling, which is always a plus when you’re looking for a pair of earbuds for gaming.

Mic

The NRG 3.0’s mic is easily the weakest feature (just like most gaming earbuds), but its in-line mic still provides a great experience for someone who is going to just casually talk on the mic. Sounds are clean and for the price, there is really little to complain about.

However if you’re looking for a solid gaming mic, we recommend you check out the last two earbuds on this list (both have awesome mics).

Any Issues?

There are no major issues with these earbuds when it comes to gaming. They provide great bass and sound due to the housing, and look absolutely beautiful. While they aren’t specifically made for gaming, they make a fantastic pair of gaming earbuds.

If you do have any issues (which we doubt you will), Symphonized offers a one-year warranty.

Runner Up:
Symphonized NRG X Gaming Earbuds

At first glance, the Symphonized NRG earbuds look as though they were at least $50, so when you  see the price is less than half that, you'll want to pick up a pair.

Let us just say that for the price, you won’t find any earbuds that can compete with Symphonize’s overall package. So what outside of the premium looks makes these earbuds so good for gaming?

The NRG X’s Sound is what you’d expect of earbuds twice the price! You’re getting very clear highs, mids, and lows, while also getting a punchy bass that adds together for a superb sounding set of earbuds. This will allow you to game and hear sounds clearly, giving you a competitive edge over other gamers.

Also another really important feature for gaming is noise cancellation. It’s hard to get immersed when you can hear everything around you. Well The NRG X’s have really good noise cancellation, as well. Actually at times, it might be too good. Be a bit cautious when wearing them and moving around.

Finally, one other major standout for NRG X is the absurd amount of customization you’re getting for the price. We've never seen any other earbuds at this price range provide you with 18 additional ear tips!! With such a variety of fits, you’re very likely to find something that fits very well and makes these an even better buy.

The Symphonized NRG X’s are the ideal pick when it comes to the value you’re getting versus what you’re paying, and you likely won't find anything better!

6. Mad Catz E.S. PRO 1 Gaming Earbuds

MadCatz has outdone themselves with these gaming earbuds. Not only are you getting earbuds with great sound quality, but you’re also getting a great mic that will really elevate your gaming experience. If you’re looking for the total package, you can’t go wrong with the Mad Catz E.S. Pro1 gaming earbuds.

Design

These earbuds definitely look like something you would use for gaming with their neon green color and unique design.

The mic is detachable, which is a great feature as it allows you to also use these earbuds on the go, and then you can just reattach the mic when you get back to your PC.

You’ll also be getting a two-meter long cable, which is great for anyone who is going to be using these earbuds for gaming, but might be an issue for people who want to use these for other things, as well.

The E.S Pro might not be the most unique earbuds on this list, but the easy to reach controls and detachable mic are welcome features.

Sound

The first thing you’ll realize about these earbuds is that they have great, powerful bass, which is either something you will love or hate.

The stereo sound is very clean and will allow you to immerse yourself into the game world, as it actually feels like you are there.

Overall, there is little to complain about when it comes to sound quality in the E.S PRO’s. Sounds are clear and the lows and highs are great.

Mic

For anyone who plays multiplayer games with friends, having a good mic is almost essential if you want to be able to communicate clearly and have a good time. There’s nothing worse than playing The Division in the dark zone and wiping because everyone thought you had blown your ultimate due to your crappy mic.

The Mad Catz E.S PRO 1 earbuds dual mic feature is one of its best features. This allows you to game with the detachable mic and use the inline mic for things such as phone calls.

If you’re looking for a good mic, this is one of the better choices on this list. The E.S PRO is a little pricey, but just being earbuds with a good mic makes them worth it.

Any Issues?

First of all, these earbuds are a little more expensive than the other earphones on this list, Some people have an issue with comfort and fit.

7. Tt eSPORTS ISURUS PRO Earbuds

If you are looking to get some gaming earphones, the ISURUS Pro’s would be a good choice. Not only do they have a detachable mic, but they also have great sound quality, durability, and on top of that, are very affordable for what you are getting. If you are looking for a great product, then the ISURUS Pro’s are an excellent choice.

Design

The ISURUS Pro was made for E-sports gaming, and it shows in the design. It’s simple red and black color scheme looks great, and the detachable mic completes the look

One of the most important things with earphones is how durable they are and with the ISURUS Pro featuring a flat cable, you have little to worry about regarding the cord snapping. It’s also tangle-free, which is even better as tangling can mess up earbuds in the long run.

The earbuds stay in your ear pretty well due to the hook behind the earbud which makes these earphones surprisingly good for activities such as jogging.

Sound

The ISURUS Pro’s sound is incredible! The earbuds are angled, which allows sound to better enter your ear canals, and the bass is incredibly powerful.

The highs and lows are also great at providing a good listening experience and will be a blast use while gaming.

When it comes to sound performance, you have nothing to worry about with the ISURUS Pros.

Mic

Similar to the Mad Catz earphones, the ISURUS Pro has both an inline mic and a detachable mic.

This is the primary reason we chose the ISURUS Pro as one of our top picks. You get a great mic, which is essential to any person who wants to game and still save a little more money than Mad Catz.

Any Issues?

We have no issues with the ISURUS Pros whatsoever. Not only are they affordable, but they offer a great amount of durability, and an incredible mic. If you are looking for a true headset, then the ISURUS Pro’s might be the choice for you.

8. WOHZOEK Gaming Earbuds

WOHZOEK might have just struck gold here. These gaming earbuds are stylish, sound good, and have a good mic to boot. These earbuds check almost every box and let’s go into why.

WOHZOEK knew how important the quality of sound would be if they wanted to get these to sell, and they didn’t disappoint. The highs, mids, and lows are all very clear on these earbuds, even though they aren’t as good as our top pick, they’re better than most.

WOHZOEK is packing some noise-canceling features as well, and while they aren’t anywhere near Bluefire’s, they still do block outside noise to some degree.

The mic, or should we say mics, are a really intriguing point on these gaming earbuds. WOHZOEK has actually opted to include two mics with these gaming earbuds. One is the detachable mic and the other is built into the earbuds themselves. This works out great for anyone who wants to have one mic they can use at home and then use the built-in mic when they’re on the go. You really get the best of both worlds.

There’s one con that we'd like to bring up before you buy these earbuds. You see these earbuds are oddly shaped, and while some people are okay with that, others have struggled to keep these in their ears.

While the BlueFire's still come out over WOHZOEK, these make for good gaming earbuds and are worth the price of admission.

9. Oomo Gaming 5.1 Surround Sound Earbuds

Most gaming earbuds try to shove thousands of features down our throats in an effort to stand out, but Oomo has taken a different approach, they focus only on giving us what we really want out of gaming earbuds; an immersive powerful gaming experience.

When getting these earbuds, you should expect rich highs, mids, and lows. The Oomo has a technology inside that is always optimizing its frequencies to give you the best sound.

Oomo also takes comfort very seriously. These earbuds are memory foam, which means that they’ll contour to your ear and allow you to game for hours with no discomfort.

The build quality of these earbuds is simplistic, yet sturdy. You don’t have to worry about these not working after years of use, which is important when spending the money for a premium product.

The mic on the Oomo is crystal clear as well but still isn’t as good as some of the other mics on the list that are much cheaper. If wehad to mention a half-flaw ,it would be this.

Still, we would recommend these as a top pick because they offer an unmatched gaming experience when it comes to sound. If you’re looking for top-notch audio out of an earbud, then the Oomos are highly recommended.
