Bottom Line
The Turtle Beach Battle Buds are a one-of-a-kind pair of gaming earbuds that come with a detachable boom microphone. The microphone far outperforms other $30 earbuds mics, unless you an Xbox Live user (then it’s useless!). The audio quality is tuned specifically for competitive online gaming, firmly cementing the Battle Buds’ identity as gaming earbuds to the exclusion of everything else.
