Just this week I got a pair of Edifier W240TN earbuds. About $70 on Amazon. The sound quality is good (I’m not a complete audiophile but I’ve had some crappy earbuds in the past…these are better than any I’ve had). The noise canceling is okay, not as good as my headphones, but that’s okay.
But I realize that’s not what you’re asking about. They have a “low latency game mode”, advertised as “80 ms”. I was able to pair them with my Steam Deck fairly easily and had to change the button assignment in the app ahead of time, but I tried the game mode and it actually worked pretty well. I’m pretty sensitive to audio latency, but I was impressed with them. They might not cut it for high end play on rhythm games, but swinging around on Spider-Man felt good to me. I watched a cutscene and the dialogue matched up well enough to not be distracting. They might be worth a look.
