The Cloud Earbuds are wired in-ear headphones tuned for handheld gaming, with 14mm drivers, an inline mic, an angled 3.5mm plug and a tangle-resistant flat cable. Sound is balanced and clear for games and calls, and a carrying case and multiple tip sizes are included. There's no volume control on the cable, no ANC, and the fit isn't secure for everyone.
