All of the gaming earbuds below will have a microphone because gamers will eventually need it and usually do.

Noise Cancelling

Noise canceling earbuds help reduce unwanted ambient noises when trying to hear in-game sounds. By having noise cancelling built in, it allows you to immense yourself into the game without hearing unexpected noise, or even worse similar game sounds that could throw you off. However, earbuds are snugly tucked into your ear canal anyways and can cancel noises this way.

In-line Remote

In-line remote is more of a convenient feature. It allows you to raise or lower your volume within a matter of seconds, or even mute audio. If you’re using your gaming earbud with a music player or phone, you could even skip tracks and end calls. So this could be an important feature when deciding to buy earbuds. The in-line remote is usually located on the wire just slightly around the neck area, so finding it to change your volume setting is relatively quick and easy.

Earbud Tips

Each gaming earbud will have different earbud tips with either a comfortable or uncomfortable earbud tips. However, this really depends on the shape and size of the tips because everyone’s ear canal is slightly different. So when picking on gaming earbuds, be sure you select an earbud tip style that you know have been comfortable in the past. There are earbud tips that are just crappy to one person and awesome to another, much like shoes.

Microphone

You gotta have a microphone! What kind of gamer would you be if you didn’t have one on your gaming earbuds. All of the gaming earbuds listed in this article will have a built-in microphone. You’ll most likely be using your microphone for mainly communicating in multi-player games with your teammates or gaming partners.
