Wired earbuds have experienced a resurgence in popularity recently, and I often spot people opting for these over wireless buds on my commute. I can see why: music sounds better, more detailed through a good pair of wired earbuds, and they enable you to stream hi-res audio. But when you think of gaming and audio, your mind may naturally wander to the best wireless gaming headsets — but you also shouldn't underestimate wired buds, especially in-ear monitors.
In-ear monitors, or IEMs for short, are ideal for detailed listening and for moments when you want to be able to spot details easily. IEMs in gaming are growing in popularity, and Sony has ventured into that sphere with the launch of the Sony Inzone E9s.
