My Current Immersion Set up | End of 2025

Posted on November 24, 2025

Throughout the year I've experimented with different equipment but finally feel like I've found a setup that works for me. I generally go for premium options, but I've also linked alternatives for those who don't want to spend a quadrillion dollars.

Passive Immersion Earphones

I'm currently using the SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 for passive immersion. They're open-ear earphones that deliver sound through bone conduction.

I use them daily and think they're great for the following reasons:

  • You can keep them around your neck during active immersion so they're easy to access when you need them
  • 12 Hour Battery Life. 5 minutes of charging provides 2.5 hours of listening
  • Even if you aren't playing anything, the earphones stay on standby for 4 hours. This means after a long active immersion session, you can start passively immersing right away without needing to turn them back on. You can increase the standby time in the Shokz app.
  • The open ear allows you to drive, run, and cycle safely
  • They never fall off or get in the way

Make sure you get the right size using this guide. I personally went for the mini because the back of my head was less than 9.25 inches (23.49 cm).

Mouse

I'm currently using the Logitech MX Ergo. The trackball + Bluetooth means I can use the mouse on my armrest or lap desk and not need to get up to click on another video. Strongly recommend if you sit away from your desk.

The newest version: Logitech MX Ergo S Advanced

Less expensive alternative: Logitech ERGO M575. The build quality isn't as good and it uses batteries instead of being rechargeable, but other than that it works exactly the same.

Keyboard

I'm currently using the Logitech MX Keys. It feels premium and the Bluetooth works seamlessly with no issues. It doesn't come with a Bluetooth adapter, so you'll have to grab one yourself.

The Logitech Pebble Keys 2 works just like the one I mentioned above but for half the price. The build quality isn't as good, but some people prefer how it looks anyway.

Active Immersion Headphones

I'm currently using the Bose QuietComfort SC. The noise cancelling is great, Bluetooth connects seamlessly, and they're extremely comfortable and lightweight. Strongly recommend.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are the more expensive alternative. The build quality is better and the buttons are slightly different.
