Gaming Earbuds aren't stupid after all! - Logitech G Fits True

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.

[ThantiK]

Can you guys cover the fact that Bluetooth as a standard can't do Microphone and Stereo audio at the same time in 2023?

[Rem_NL]

250 euro's, less than 7 hours battery life, no atmos or other spacial audio codec, lousy microphone. If this was around 60 euro I might consider it, but this is a garbage product.

[TheOMGPudding]

I got these for the way they mold to your ears but man, it’s so nice that they can *also* work on your computer with low latency and the audio quality doesn’t get destroyed when you’re using the mic (cough Bluetooth)

[ohhhsnap]

230$ holy hell. I guess they have the gaming tax on them.

[PatrisDev]

Would love to see LTT Labs do a latency comparison between these kind of earphones/earbuds. (Corsair Virtuoso, Epos GTW 270, etc.)

[PunkRckz]

I wish the ear molding tech would be implemented in something like the XM4 earbuds. I liked how they sound, I liked the controls and pretty much everything about them, except the pain they would create in my ear overtime.

[mikokb]

Man, I've been waiting for something like this. Low-latency TWS with a dongle for PC gaming. I love using my AirPods at my desk when I'm using Mac devices for work, and I sorely miss that freedom when I switch to my PC to play games. My IEMs probably beat these when it comes to price:performance ratio, but being untethered when I need to step away for a second would be hella nice

[marcopfeiffer]

You should have done a mic test with the lightspeed dongle. It could have more bandwidth than bluetooth.

[simongarcia]

I hope this earbud molding tech makes its way to more earbuds, regular tips always end up either working their way out or just cause discomfort for me. I used Comply foam tips for a while until they kept breaking down to the point I was buying new ones every six months
A one time mold would be fantastic but even if I had to go through the molding process once every couple weeks or months that's still better than ear pain or buying new tips

[doggiehowzer]

It would actually come in handy with VR headsets like PSVR2 or Varjo Aero or the new Quest

[sombrero]

I have normal nongaming senheiser buds and gaming with them turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. Only wish they lasted longer but if you're not irresponsible with keeping them charged it isn't a often a problem. They charge pretty quickly anyway.

[wizat]

Seems like a comparison between soundcore vr p10 and these Logitech earbuds especially for the price difference. The soundcore buds switch audio automatically from phone to dongle. Convenient when you have a phone call coming in. Works on ps5 also

[DotADBX]

step in the right direction, look forward to the next version of them I think they are too pricy atm for the sound and mic quality.

[jrdatz]

biggest reason that people should realize with this: the Fits are the first (correct me if i'm wrong) low latency, wireless earbuds that can support audio and voice due to the dongle. that being said, this is something gamers that wear glasses should rejoice at. i personally use this because gaming headsets cause a lot of pain from the headset pushing the glasses into my head. i used to use a USB DAC with wired earbuds and an external mic. while that's still good, i do occasionally LAN with friends and bringing the Fits around is easier

[razenod]

I was interested in these, due to the comfort they deliver over "casual" sessions on the PC, where you just browse the web, or watch videos and don't feel like wearing a headset. That being said at an MSRP of 230$ or 250€ it is a very tough sell, given for that price I can just grab Air Pods Pros, entry level-decent audiohpile headphones, or a high end top of the line gaming headset. These seem like an awkward niche product at best.

[rafaelbnl]

Would love to see a comparison to the Soundcore VR P10

[NRay]

If I ordered these earbuds from Newegg as a new item, would they arrive new or would I be sent a returned item resold as new like they do with their PC parts?

[personperson]

With the advent of the steam deck and the upcoming Asus handheld pc gaming thing, wireless earbuds for gaming on the go could be a major attraction. Not to mention some people don’t like headphones for one reason or the other and would rather use earbuds that may fit more comfortably on their heads. You also have mobile gamers, especially in countries like Korea or China where mobile gaming in pretty huge. Overall, I think this a up and coming niche market, but because it’s new and niche doesn’t mean it’s dumb.

For folks who are on topic (obviously not the author of this video): actually, Logitech puts separate USB dongle in the package not for additional connection option due to lack of Bluetooth capabilities on your device. This dongle is simply the only option if you want to get quality sound for gaming. Otherwise you will have an awful hands free mode via Bluetooth connection on Windows PC which totally ruins sound quality. And yes, you probably can't fix that by searching the right configs in settings or installing a driver. So, this is a kinda dirty hack from Logitech to overcome hands free mode on windows :)
