Do you watch live streamed games on a daily basis? Have you ever noticed what earbuds or headsets your favorite gamers use?
For the purpose of writing this post, I have observed many well-known gamers and noticed that they use multiple headsets at a time. Many gamers use earbuds as they are light-weight and good for long-time usage. Besides, I have noticed that pro gamers usually skip wireless or TWS earbuds.
However, while talking with several gamers, I have come to learn some more interesting facts, like: what earbuds do professional gamers use? Why don't they personally use wireless earbuds for gaming? and so on. Therefore, keep reading to get knowledge about these facts.

Why do pro gamers use earbuds?

Actually, gaming headsets are made to enjoy the full advantages of playing games. That’s why these are so bulky. And most are wired. Consequently, many gamers don’t feel comfortable wearing them for a long time and continuing their streaming.
As we all know, pro gamers continue to live stream for hours on end. They must need technical comfort, otherwise they will soon be affected by health problems. To get rid of these bulky headsets, pro gamers usually use earbuds, which are very light-weight and comfortable for long-time usage.

What earbuds do pro gamers use?

Basically, to avoid latency, wired earbuds or headphones are a good choice for gamers. But nowadays, brands are focusing heavily on wireless technology. That’s why there are a lot of gaming wireless earbuds available on the market.

Besides, pro gamers are also shifting to wireless earbuds because, as these work without any wires, gamers can freely move around. But with the wired connection, it’s difficult.
For instance, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro, JBL Quantum 50 wired, Turtle Beach Battle Buds, etc. earbuds are quite popular among pro gamers and their fans. I am not going to review any buds in this article, but I will definitely cover them in any other one.
Here I have listed a few headphones and the names of the famous gamers who use them. I hope this information may help you choose your desired gaming headset.
Pro Gamers Headphone Model
Carryminati Sennheiser HD 598 SR Open-Back Headphone
tenz Xtrfy H1 PRO
markiplier Sennheiser HD 599 SE Around-Ear Open Back
ninja Beyerdynamic 459038 DT 990 PRO Open-Studio
jacksepticeye Sennheiser HD 800 S
ksi Astro A50
Lvndmark Sennheiser HD 660s
aceu Apple EarPods
pewdiepie Razer headphones
darkviperau Koss KSC75

In this small list, you may have noticed that among the gamers, the Sennheiser brand is common. Besides that, Aceu uses Apple airpods. What do you think? Are Apple Airpods good for gaming?

However, according to my personal opinion, I believe that gamers change their headsets frequently (as they have a number of sponsors). Sometimes they modify headphones with high quality speakers if it can reduce their greater health risks. because prolonged use of earphones is harmful to the ear.

Note: It doesn’t matter how expensive your earbuds are, kindly try to use them for as little time as you can to avoid future ear damage.

Are low-latency wireless earbuds good for gaming?

While playing any game like PUBG Mobile or any battleground game, I think every low-frequency sound matters a lot. That’s why every gamer prefers and extremely wants headphones that have almost zero latency even after heavy gaming.

That’s why I believe low-latency wireless earbuds are really good for gaming. But latency isn’t the only term used to measure a gaming headset. So, before buying an earbud for gaming purposes, kindly keep this in mind.

Conclusion

Usually, gamers don’t use any specific headsets. According to their personal choice, comfort, brand value, and sponsorship, it differs. But one thing I have noticed is that they always think about the health risks as they need to wear headphones or earbuds for a lengthy live-stream.
