Which earphones would you guys recommend specifically in terms of sound quality for console gaming?
(mic not necessary and can be either wireless or wired)

I'm a big fan of the Steelseries Arctis headsets. For instance the Arctis 7X or 9X for the Series S/X or the P I think it was for playstation.

Headphones for the win.

I think most people prefer headphones, but personally I use these (without Mic): KZ ZSN

They are cheapish but pretty decent for the price, might get something better though, like these: FiiO FH1

Used Bowers & Wilkins C5 Series 2 for a while when I waited for the Playstation Headset to arrive. Keep in mind each person's ear shape is different and while one might find a headset/earphones comfortable with great sound the next person might hate the way it sounds/fits on their head.

Any reason why you specifically want to use earphones instead of headphones?
How are you going to connect wireless earphones to the console because I don't think it's supported unless you use an adapter?

Not OP, but for me earphones are more comfy, the ZSN ones I can wear for hours. Headphones start to hurt me after a while. Then again I haven't really spent money on a proper pair (currently using Steelseries Arctis 3)

+1 for the KZs have a pair of ZSN pro's and they sound really decent. Mic is terrible but that's besides the point for iems. They have a v-shaped EQ and can be sensitive with some audible hiss when nothings playing.

Take a look at 1More . I know it's subjective but I found their packaging and sound quality good. Didn't test the mic though but it did it's job for in-ears.
Also had the Sennheiser CX 1.00, but didn't have them long as 1 earbud fell into my cup of coffee on day 1

Almost everyone I know uses headphones but heard the logitech g333 headphones are good although they might be more focused on pc gaming.

I have been using headphones for a while and just wanted something without that 'pressure' over the ears and head. Problem is finding earphones or buds that has sound quality equivalent to my headphones - Sony MDR-XB450AP Extra Bass.
