Phiaton BonoBuds Lite Review: A Solid Investment For Casual Audiophiles – SlashGear

The BonoBuds create a truly delightful listening experience for universal enjoyment. There doesn’t seem to be enough sacrifice in audio detail at this budget-friendly price point for casual users — instrumental noises are rich and hearty, while voice-related audio isn’t impacted by any feedback, distortion, or latency with Bluetooth 5.2.

I used the buds for some moderate gaming, too, and didn’t personally experience any latency issues. The Phiaton buds aren’t tailored for gaming — they don’t come with a dongle, even, so Bluetooth is your only option — but they did well enough that I’d happily use them for gaming again. 

Many leading sound products geared for gaming still operate on the 5.2 version of Bluetooth, so there’s not a chasm of performance discrepancy between these earbuds for less than $50 and $150+ options — except for where bigger brands implement proprietary technology for making wireless audio connections in gaming faster and more reliable. But even the G Fits, in which Logitech uses proprietary connection tech, didn’t dazzle me with a quicker or more stable audio connection. If you’re a serious gamer, you probably want to stick to wired audio peripherals anyways, but casual players or beginners could get a ton of valuable use out of the BonoBuds.
