If so, which ones? I am looking to game and talk to friends over discord on my Steam Deck. No FPS, more bullet hells, ARPGs, etc. Thank you!!
I got a cheap pair of bone conduction, open ear headphones. Sound quality isn’t fantastic, but I keep my ears open for my family while also sparing them my game noise.
I use Sony wh1000-xm5 noise canceling, they are amazing for immersion. Using the built in mic for steam audio and it works well
First time to hear something positive about them. Only heard that they are a step down from xm3 and 4.
KSC75 with parts express headband and Yaxi pads.
I’m a basic bitch and use my Galaxy buds. They work well enough. When docked, I have it connected to my DACAmp and blue snowball for a great audio experience.
Yeah a Phillips headset with removable mic and on/mute toggle on the cord.
Works really well, happy with it but it gets warm in the summer…like I don’t need more hotness in the heat.
I use mine with either my Jabra 75t Bluetooth earbuds, or my big Bose over-ear ones using an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter. Both are great.
I don’t do voice chats on Deck. But when I only have a short time to play, I just use standard Apple earbuds that I’ve had for years.
When I get to game for more than an hour and feel like gaming on the couch, then I use my JBL Quantum TWS earbuds with the USB C adapter. These are primo ear buds, incredibly low latency, sound excellent, and are immersive with the noise canceling and noise isolating. Built in microphone, but I don’t use it for that purpose. I’d imagine for the price point the mic quality should be somewhere between good and great, depending on preference.
I just use the Playstation headphones, seem to work well.
I don’t usually use headphones with my deck, but I’ve paired my Pixel A-series buds to it and they work pretty well for discord calls.
I don’t have a Steam Deck, but I do have earbuds I use with Linux, which is similar. I have the EarFun buds (3, I think), which allow connection to multiple devices at once, have good compatibility, noise reduction, long battery life, and are relatively reasonably priced, under £60.

Bluetooth headphones work well with the Steam Deck, I specially like how you can pair your phone to the Deck and it will mix the phone’s audio with the game audio (so you can have music or a podcast playing, for instance)

I did not know this. Might have to give it a try.

I paired both my phone and earbuds to the deck and the phone’s audio was super choppy. It behaved better when in the deck’s options menus but it was still bad. 🤔

when you pair your phone to the steamdeck, the deck reports as a speaker to your phone.
