Earbuds for gaming

[Dejvas]

I'm looking for earbuds that are good for gaming and I don't want them to be in-ear. I want the flat design, I don't know how to call them otherwise, if you know what I mean. I am looking for these kind of earbuds because for me it hurts when I use in-ear ones.

What like apple ear buds? Well I dont know what you consider to be good for gaming, but ear buds in general are not good for gaming in my opinion. The fact that they are in your ear means very little sound stage, which means it will be hard to judge distance and direction of a sound. And ear buds that don't seal into your ear canal, like you are describing, tend to have very little bass. Why not just go for a decent pair of over ear headphones?

If you really want ear buds the VE Monks are supposed to be pretty good for their ridiculously cheap price.

Yeah, I mean like apple earbuds or design like the one you linked and I know over ear headphones are better but the problem is that then I can't hear anything from outside for example if someone is talking to me and stuff and I don't really like that.
