Buying call

Buy the INZONE Buds if you want true wireless earbuds built for games: the USB-C LE Audio dongle cuts latency, ANC is effective, and the buds run about 12 hours per charge, one of the longest in the category. Sound is detailed and spatial. Skip them if you want to use them with any phone over Bluetooth, because they rely on LE Audio and compatibility is limited, and the mic is weak.
