How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a wired, near-zero-latency connection built specifically for VR gaming, choose Logitech G333; if you need wireless freedom with active noise cancellation and long battery life, choose Skullcandy Method 360. These two in-ear models look similar on a shelf, but they solve completely different problems. One is a purpose-built accessory for a headset; the other is a do-everything everyday pair of true wireless buds.
• Logitech G333's biggest strength: A wired 3.5 mm connection designed around the Oculus Quest 2, with dual drivers (one for highs/mids, one for bass), custom-length cable and straps, three ear-tip sizes, and a sturdy aluminum housing.
• Logitech G333's biggest trade-off: It's wired and VR-focused. There's no Bluetooth, no active noise cancellation, and no charging case — it relies on sound isolation and a physical cable.
• Skullcandy Method 360's biggest strength: Wireless freedom with active noise cancellation, Sound by Bose tuning, up to 40 hours total battery (11 in the buds, 29 in the case), IPX4 sweat/water resistance, and a clip-anywhere case.
• Skullcandy Method 360's biggest trade-off: It's Bluetooth, so latency and battery are always part of the equation — and it isn't built around any specific headset.
• Choose Logitech G333 if you want plug-and-play VR audio with the lowest possible latency and no charging to think about.
• Choose Skullcandy Method 360 if you want one pair of wireless buds for commuting, workouts, calls and travel with noise cancelling and long battery life.
The Logitech G333 is a VR-first design. Logitech G worked with Oculus to build earphones specifically for the Quest 2, and that shows in the details. The 3.5 mm aux connection gives you minimal latency, which matters in VR — a laggy audio path breaks the illusion of realism faster than most people expect. Because it's wired, there's no pairing, no charging, and no dropouts mid-session. You plug in and you're in.
The audio architecture is gaming-oriented rather than lifestyle-oriented. There are two dedicated drivers — one handling highs and mids, one handling bass — so the sound is tuned to reproduce a virtual environment with detail across the range, from footsteps to explosions. The frequency range covers 20Hz to 20KHz, impedance is 24 ohm, and the driver type is dynamic. The cable is custom-length and comes with three Velcro straps, mapped specifically to the Quest 2 so wires don't dangle or tangle while you're moving your head. Three soft silicone tip sizes (S, M, L) let you get a snug seal, and the aluminum housing should hold up to regular handling. Noise control here is sound isolation — the seal blocks some outside noise, but there's no active cancellation.
Who should buy it: Quest 2 owners who want private, low-latency audio and a tidy cable setup. Anyone who'd rather not manage battery life during a long session. Gamers who value a dedicated driver setup over app-based tuning.
Who should skip it: If you want wireless earbuds for the gym, commuting or phone calls, this isn't that product. There's no Bluetooth, no ANC and no case. It's an accessory for a headset, not an everyday pair of buds.
The Skullcandy Method 360 is the opposite philosophy: a fully wireless everyday pair of earbuds with a feature set built for life outside the house. The headline is the audio tuning — Skullcandy teamed up with Bose, and every part of the design, from the ear gels to the internal audio architecture, is optimized around that high-fidelity sound with clarity and depth of range.
The second headline is active noise cancellation. This is real ANC, not just a passive seal, so it's aimed at blocking out the world — traffic, office chatter, airplane drone. Add IPX4 sweat and water resistance and these buds are built to survive workouts and weather. The fit is secured with both ear gels and fit fins in S, M and L, which is a nice touch for people whose ears never quite hold a standard bud.
Battery is where the Method 360 pulls far ahead. You get up to 40 hours total — 11 in the earbuds and 29 in the charging case — plus multipoint pairing, Google Fast Pair, auto on/connect, voice sidetone for calls, and the ability to use either bud solo. The case itself has a clip-anywhere design, so you can hook it to a bag, keys or belt. Bluetooth 5.3 handles the connection, impedance is 16 ohm, sensitivity is 97.1 dB, and there's a dynamic driver with a 20KHz frequency response.
On top of that, the Skullcandy app lets you pick one of three preset EQs or build your own, remap the touch buttons, and adjust Stay-Aware and ANC modes. Charging is USB-C, and the warranty is a 1-year USA limited warranty.
Who should buy it: Commuters, gym-goers, travelers and anyone who wants one pair of wireless buds for everything. If you make a lot of calls or want app-level control over your sound, this fits.
Who should skip it: If you're buying specifically for VR and want the lowest possible latency, Bluetooth introduces a delay that a wired connection won't. And if you hate managing battery, a wired set is simpler.
• Best for VR and Oculus Quest 2 → Logitech G333. The custom-length cable, straps and 3.5 mm low-latency connection are purpose-built for it.
• Best for battery life → Skullcandy Method 360. Up to 40 hours total (11 + 29) versus a wired set that never needs charging but also never untethers you.
• Best for noise cancelling → Skullcandy Method 360. It has active noise cancellation; the G333 relies on passive sound isolation.
• Best for lowest latency → Logitech G333. A wired 3.5 mm aux connection beats Bluetooth for real-time audio.
• Best for workouts and weather → Skullcandy Method 360. IPX4 sweat and water resistance plus fit fins for a secure hold.
• Best for a tidy, hassle-free VR setup → Logitech G333. The custom cable and Velcro straps are designed to stay out of your way.
• Best for calls and app control → Skullcandy Method 360. Voice sidetone, multipoint, solo-bud use and customizable EQ modes.
• Best for durability and build → Tie, in my opinion. The G333 uses a sturdy aluminum housing; the Method 360 pairs a wireless design with IPX4 protection. Different strengths, both solid.
My Verdict
No. It connects through a 3.5 mm aux jack and is a wired set of earphones. That's deliberate — the wired connection is what gives it minimal latency for VR, and it means you never have to charge it.
Yes. It has active noise cancellation, so it actively blocks ambient sound rather than only relying on an ear-tip seal. You can also adjust ANC and Stay-Aware modes in the Skullcandy app.
The Skullcandy Method 360, clearly. It offers up to 40 hours total — 11 hours in the earbuds and 29 in the case. The Logitech G333 is wired and doesn't use a battery at all.
For VR gaming specifically, the Logitech G333, because its 3.5 mm connection and Quest 2-specific cable design keep latency low. For casual mobile gaming where you want wireless freedom, the Method 360 is the more flexible pick. As always, check the current price on Amazon before you decide which fits your budget.
