The whole package is aesthetically very pleasing, with each of the three colorways featuring a separate secondary color. Tears of the Kingdom The gaming logo is featured on the front of the charging case, while the iconic Triforce symbol is etched on both earbuds.
The buds are described as delivering “a full, rich, and clear audio experience with deep bass, smooth mids, and crystal-clear highs” according to the store page. They feature Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, which means they should be able to wirelessly pair to your Nintendo Switch or mobile device without any issues.
As we’d expect from gaming earbuds in this relatively low price range, battery life doesn’t seem particularly impressive. They last for six hours on a single charge, with “three additional charges” available via the charging case – meaning you get a total of 24 hours before needing to power the case up again via USB Type-C.
Again, at this price point we’re not really expecting a premium audio experience, regardless of what the store page says. But if you’re a portable Switch gamer looking for a budget-friendly pair of wireless earbuds, these are the ones Tears of the Kingdom models might be something for you, especially if you appreciate their aesthetics.
