Wired Earphones

No audio lag. The baseline for reading what you cannot see.

What it changes

Sound often carries information the screen does not. Footsteps behind the brush, the recall channel starting on an enemy, someone's ultimate going off outside your vision. These only matter if you move the instant you hear them, so any delay eats their value. Wired has no conversion step and therefore no lag. Being wired matters more here than being expensive.

What to look at

Match the plug to your phone — 3.5 mm or USB-C. Cable length and routing matter in practice, because a cable brushing your hands is a distraction. Get a mic if you use voice chat. Heavily bass-tuned earphones can bury footsteps. Where you need to hear the room, do not force the most isolating option.

【実は損】"絶対に買ってはいけない"ゲーミングイヤホン3選

ゲームのために買うなら有線を選ぶべき、というのがこの動画の主張。理由は2つある。

1つは遅延。2万円近いワイヤレスで評価も高い製品を使っていた時期があったが、体感できるレベルで遅延があり3日で手放したという実体験が語られている。近年の技術で遅延は少なくなってきたとはいえ、多少はある。どうしてもワイヤレスがいいなら、せめて低遅延モードを積んだものを選ぶこと。

もう1つはバッテリー。1回の充電で数時間しか持たない製品も多く、毎日充電する手間がだんだん面倒になって結局有線に戻る、という話になっている。
