I’m lazy. I feel safe sharing that with you, as we’re all friends here. Plus, I’m sure there are plenty of you who also like your tech to be as low-effort as possible.
That includes when it comes to the best gaming earbuds, as sometimes I just can’t be bothered putting them on charge, even when their cases keep them juiced up for me most of the time.
The SIVGA M260 Wired Earbuds have been really handy in that respect. They include a USB-C cable, so there’s no charging required. All I need to do is pop them into the bottom of my phone or the top of my Switch 2 to get going. Even better, they’re only $45 (Amazon), which is marginally less pricey than the $199.99 wireless buds I usually rock. They might even get cheaper once the Prime Day gaming deals roll out later this month, but $45 is still a fair price for the wired and lazy-no-charging experience – just like my childhood self remembers.
I’ve been a bit more stressed and anxious than usual lately, as I have a lot on my plate. When that happens, I hate having to keep track of a million things at once, and even just the annoyance of remembering to charge my modern tech becomes a massive hindrance.
In that regard, switching to these in-ear phones has taken a little bit of stress off my shoulders. While sitting on a long train journey, I only have to worry about my phone’s battery lasting, as there’s no charging involved with these whatsoever, just like the cheap earphones I used as a teenager. They also came with a little fabric case that makes them easier to put away, like the plastic case of my SteelSeries Arctis Nova Game Buds, my usual wireless buds of choice, though it’s much less fancy.
It helps too that these buds are extremely comfortable to wear, and their mighty 14.2mm Dynamic audio drivers sound pretty damn excellent. But you know me, if these made the wonderfully jazzy Mario Kart World OST sound like a distorted mess, I definitely wouldn’t be recommending them to fellow lazy gamers.
Using these over my normal wireless buds isn’t a complete revelation. When I want to switch things up from gaming to listening to music on the go, the included MMCX detachable cable often gets caught at the ends of my jacket. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it can get a little annoying whenever this results in the buds being yanked out of my earlobe. Ouchies.
I also haven’t completely abandoned wireless earbuds. I don’t think I’d ever be okay calling it quits on the Arctis Nova Game Buds’ tap controls and ANC. Yet, sometimes I just like to switch things up to something less overwhelmingly featureful, and that’s much like the limited tech of my youth.
Not an earbuds fan? I’ve also rounded up the best gaming headsets, which include some of the best PS5 headsets and the best PC headsets for gaming you can grab today.
