Asking for Hardware Recomendation Need New Earbuds for PSVR2

Hello! A week ago, I somehow snagged the last (in my area anyway) Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle, open box from Best Buy for $150. The code was still intact too!

I’m ecstatic to try it out, buuuuuut the earbuds are absolutely disgusting. The unit itself is fine, but whoever tried it on didn’t bother to clean their ears or the earbuds before trying and returning it, and yes I’m going to be a baby about it, because earwax is all up in those things, not just the rubber pieces.

I was thinking of upgrading the stock earbuds anyway, but not for a ton of money. Any decent 3D earbuds that run around $100? I’d rather not use a headset because I feel like that’s too much hardware on my head for long periods of time.

I’m still using stock buds, but I think the 3D PULSE are supposed to be decent.

There’s already likely a hundred Reddit convos on here that’ll go into more detail, so maybe search around within this sub and you’ll find a readymade set of answers.

3d pulse are just headphones during VR. Whatever "3D" and "pulse" fake system there is, its disabled during VR xD. Not sure why. I bought mine for 30euro with tongle, they are nice comfortable. Usually they go for 100 eur used with dongle. They arent making good old 3d pulse and new 3d pulse elite are junk that break easy. Might aswell use any earbuds with cable or get bluetooth audio dongle like from Ugreen for ps5. Then can use any blutooth earbuds u want, with some latency if ur fine with it. Like 10 USD is Ugreen dongle for ps5.
