Pro CS:GO players wear earbuds for a couple of reasons. First, they’re for in-game sounds, so they can hear footsteps, gunshots, and other important audio cues super clearly. Secondly, those big headphones you see them wearing on top of the earbuds? Those are usually for noise cancellation from the roaring crowds, keeping them focused on the game. It's all about getting that crisp audio without the distracting background noise.

It's all about blocking out the noise, literally. Those earbuds are their link to the game, giving them the edge they need to hear every crucial sound. The big headphones? Just for show. JK, they actually help block out the crowd.

Having been to a few esports events myself, I can tell you it's insanely loud in those arenas. The earbuds under the noise-cancelling headphones setup allows players to fully immerse in the game, catching every detail without the distraction of the crowd. Trust me, it makes a world of difference.

Actually, I think it's just a style thing. They wanna look cool and professional, and what's cooler than a bunch of tech on your head?
