We’re finally starting to see some true-wireless earbuds for the Meta Quest 2, and the Soundcore by Anker VR P10 is officially compatible with the console. The way it works is that it comes with a USB-C dongle that you plug into the the Meta Quest 2’s USB-C port and which streams audio to the buds. They can also be used as Bluetooth earbuds, and there’s a companion app that allows you to put the buds into Meta Quest 2 mode (work with the dongle). It can be a little tricky to set up, but I got it working after a couple of attempts.

Once connected, the buds work well though, I wouldn’t say the sound quality is great, which may have more to do with the Quest 2’s hardware (and how it outputs audio) than the buds. But these are a way to get private sound (when you raise the volume of the Quest 2’s external speakers, people in the room can hear the audio) and avoid having all the wires. And they are cheaper than some of the wired solutions out there from Logitech, for example.
