When James reviewed UE Fits earbuds, he didn't think there was an audience for gaming earbuds so when we got Logitech's new G Fits True earbuds he decided to give them another shot. Does replacing your bulky headset with gaming TWS earbuds make sense or should your stick with what you've got?

    I absolutely despise using Bluetooth on Windows. It's never been good for me, it's never been stable. So the fact that these utilize a a Lightspeed dongle is actually a major selling point to me. I get the initial "that's dumb" reaction but ngl, I'm into it.

They're fantastic for gaming (I mostly play FPS and don't notice any latency, unlike regular BT), and so incredibly comfortable that I don't mind leaving them in. I switch these out with JBL Quantum TWS when they need to charge, but the JBLs are way less comfortable and have half the battery life the Fits do. Highly recommend if you can swallow the price tag.

    I'm intrigued about using earbuds as my PC headset since I've used quite a few different setups over the years. A decade ago I bought my first wireless headset, SoundBlaster EVO ZxR and that had all the bells and whistles back then. Then my brother dropped them while they were charging and the micro-usb port sheared off. Used low-end studio monitors wired straight to my receiver for a few years and then got these Sennheiser GSP 370's a couple years ago. These are fine, but a bit lacking in sound and they can't be paired to anything other than their own dongle. About a month ago, I dug the SoundBlaster's out of storage, soldered on a new port and replaced the bulged battery. I'll have to say, they sound still pretty damn good even if they're old af. The only quirk they have that's annoying is that the dongle that's supposedly paired only with the headset, doesn't pair consistently with the headset and will rather grab the living rooms LG soundbar. The other thing that's not the fault of the headset is that the software isn't found anywhere anymore, but luckily the android app still exists so I can config the eq and other SoundBlaster things there.

    I'm curious what the audio is like vs the UE's mentioned. I've been interested in some molded wireless buds because my ears are different shapes so buds that fit my right perfectly haven't worked well for my left. My cheapish raycons (the "work pros" or whatever they called them) the rear-facing bump on the left bud causes some ear pain after half an hour or so. The different shape of these and the molded canal feature seems more ideal to me short of custom made IEMs.

    Tbh you don't really want a bass-heavy mic for comms during games. You want your comms to be isolated to the high frequencies, kinda like how pilots use their VHF radio so they can hear each other better in their noisy environments. I had a friend who bought like a podcast quality mic and it was terrible trying to play games with him because the range on his mic interfered with sounds from the game environment. I couldn't hear in game foot-steps because his mic was overwhelming the low-mid range frequencies.

I prefer gaming earbuds because 1) wearing headsets for too long is not comfortable, 2) portability, 3) better for switching between different usb-c devices than doing the bluetooth dance (this is especially important if you constantly switch between 3+ devices, and 4) I like the dual 2.4 Ghz and BT so I can switch between my laptop/ipad and the phone which is connected via BT. The VRP10 meets most of my needs at a good price point. Sadly, none of the offerings out there, including the VRP10, are good enough.
