Good (and only) earphones for PlayStation Portal
- Works with both PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation Portal, although this must be done via the supplied dongle
- Good sound, with setting for “deep base” for an even better experience
- The volume control on the earphones themselves is separate from the one on the Portal. On the PS5 these are linked to each other. Possibly resolved in software update

Great product, design is nice, finally earbuds for your PS5. However, the quality of your microphone is really poor.

- Good sound quality
- Simultaneous use with two devices
- Volume buttons doesn't work on phone
Surprisingly good surround quality for an earbud. Very stylish and goes hand in hand with PS5 design. But doesn't satisfy with phone since it doesn't offer even the basic controls you'd expect from an earbud.

Bought as a “second chance” via the Coolblue app to supplement my PS Portal; very satisfied with this purchase (see also my plus points). I would also like to point out that the price in "second chance" was more than ok and that the condition (new condition) was described very accurately and clearly so that you can purchase with confidence.
