The package includes the earbuds, a helmet-shaped charging case, extra ear tips, and a Type-C charging cable. The unusual helmet case is surprisingly sturdy and practical, providing good protection for the earbuds during transport. The inclusion of extra ear tips is a welcome addition, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for most users.
Performance
The Super Buds Pro GT9’s audio performance is its strongest asset. The bass is undeniably powerful and punchy, perfectly suited for gaming where explosions and other sound effects need to be impactful. However, this power doesn’t come at the cost of clarity in the mids and highs. I found the overall sound signature well-balanced, providing a rich and immersive experience in both games and music.
The advertised low latency is definitely noticeable. There’s minimal delay between actions in the game and the corresponding audio cues, crucial for competitive gaming. The Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) is effective in filtering out ambient noise, particularly useful in busy environments. Voice calls were crisp and clear, thanks to the MEMS microphone, even in somewhat noisy settings.
Battery life met expectations; several hours of continuous use, sufficient for most gaming sessions. The wired charging case is a bit of a drawback compared to wireless charging, however. Charging time was acceptable, not overly long.
Comfort was generally good, with the included ear tips providing a secure fit. However, extended wear (over 3 hours) led to some minor discomfort. This might vary depending on individual ear shapes.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Powerful and balanced audio, low latency, effective ENC, comfortable fit (for most), durable charging case.
- Cons: Wired charging case, minor discomfort during extended use, some minor audio bleed at maximum volume.
Final Verdict
The Super Buds Pro GT9 (EX_NP_SBPGT9A01) delivers on its promise of an immersive gaming experience. The powerful bass, low latency, and effective noise cancellation make it a strong contender in its price range. While the wired charging and potential discomfort during long use are minor drawbacks, the overall performance outweighs these limitations for most gamers. I would recommend these earbuds to anyone seeking a budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on sound quality and essential gaming features.
