I am such a sucker for common gaming tech with fancy shmancy bells and whistles.
Its got a strong hinge, a color-coded charge indicator light, and magnetic earbud slots.
The buds are unbelievably comfortable.
I usually get about 4 hours when I use the ANC, which is still really great.
Ive mentioned it twice now, but the Active Noise Cancellation is really the star of the show here.
Ive tested a lot of headphones over the years and Ive learned that not all ANC is created equal.
The way it almost completely mutes the outside world is incredible.
If all you want is a good ANC, these buds are perfect.
Some devices don’t play well with Bluetooth earbuds, and this feature can reduce or eliminate sync issues.
It worked great with my AWOL projector.
It makes me feel like a spy.
The sound quality is far better than I usually expect from a wireless earbud.
What’s Up With Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos content is pretty hit or miss.
Theres some on Amazon Prime and a lot on Disney Plus, but its not always easy to find.
Music apps like Tidal and Apple Music have it, Spotify doesnt.
PS5 has it, the Switch doesnt.
Thats fine, you cant expect every platform to support niche high-end audio formats.
I dont get this feature.
It doesnt make watching things more immersive for me.
This feels like a weird gimmick, which is disappointing considering everything else about the buds is so great.
Ultimately youre only getting arealDolby Atmos experience from an actual surround sound set-up.
There are some marginal benefits in these earbuds, but more than anything its just a marketing tool.
That disappointment hasnt stopped me from loving the LG T80s, and adopting them as my full-time gaming earbuds.
