Glad I could help! 😁 so which one is your pick?

[@David-vd6uf]

Surprised that the Oppo Enc Air 3 (not the pro version) is not listed. I got them for ~40€ and they now replace my SP TrueAir 2+. Sound quality is WAY better than on the SP. They really deserve their own review.

[@KellyGeorgePH]

This is the exact video I, who doesn't like in-ears, need Kenn. Thank you for making this one! My TrueAir 2 has terrible battery so I really need an upgrade

[@h34dbust]

My TrueAir 2's battery got degraded so bad, I replaced it with Air 3 Deluxe recently. The Air 3 Deluxe sounded clearer, & has more detail than TrueAir 2.

[@jebaited2449]

Lmaoooo 😂

[@joelconolly5574]

Currently own the Soundpeats True Air 2 and for some reason it sounds more muffled to me. What surprised me is that the standard version have a gaming mode which was not advertised as such. I did used to drive the Tronsmart Onyx Ace and that seems clearer to me but battery life wasn't the greatest. I planned to get the Pro version sometimes. I'll check these lists too when I feel like upgrading.

[@Autotrope]

They did a stealth update of the original trueair 2 that added gaming mode and bluetooth 5.2. The ones they originally sold, including mine, don't have it and can't be upgraded. The weird thing is, that means 2 out of 4 of the "new" features of the trueair 2+ also quietly came to the trueair 2.

[@rafaelchiara]

One thing i gotta say; I see a LOT of channels before buying a new earbuds; in many videos, YOU make sure to emphasize the quality of some earbuds that NO OTHER youtuber have ever heard about it. I mean, for example, you have been presenting us the Fiil cc and moondrop since long time ago, and just know, all other channels, realized, they exist and that they are pretty good. While some struggle to bring first, an white shiny elephant that is no further than a good looking, you go straight to the point with your sincere opinion and make sure to present to your subs all options available for all kind of taste and budget. You are far ahead! In resume, after watching your vídeos for the 10th time, i decided to buy Marshall, soundpeats Air 4 lite, moondrop space travel, fill cc nano; i figured out that buying link buds, freebuds 5, freebuds pro, Nothing stick, cmf by nothing and some, was a waste o money; they are great, but if you look with attention, you will find some crazy buds that will make you forget them

[@namedkenn]

Hey Rafael, I hugely appreciate your comment and really it made my day! It's really the first thing I had in mind when making any and all videos, is to get straight to the point, put my shoes in my subs POV and tell them the most important things 😁 I'll keep on doing my best so hope to see you in future videos!

[@Kageyasha88]

Thanks Kenneth. Your picks are great and I enjoy your content. I would also include the Honor Earbuds X5. They cost below 40$, offer multipoint, app support, sound great and the call quality is great as well. They're my daily driver for work and listening to music. Just remember to enable the bass EQ in the app for a more immersive sound.

[@Teerada]

I'm choosing between FIIL CC NANO and soundpeat air 4. Can you help advise what is the sound different and which one is more comfortable to use while commuting? Thanks 😊

[@crevan2180]

Seems like galaxy is the most comfortable one? Can you please rank in terms of comfort among the three, galaxy, fill cc and soundpeats? I've used soundpeats air 3 and they hurt after a few hours so is it also the same with fill cc?

[@radomirfigalla9933]

Hi Kenn, you do great analysis on your channel, thank you for that! Two years ago, I got advice from you to buy SP TrueAir2+, unfortunately, 14 days before the warranty expired 🙏, the base stopped charging both headphones at the same time. Anyway, these were great and I'm looking for a replacement. I have heard that with the SP Air3 HS Deluxe, the bass quality disappears when there is noise from the outside environment. I experienced something similar with the TruAir2+ when it was necessary to increase the volume outside to wake up the bass again although it would not be necessary for the mids and highs. Have you tried the HS Deluxe outdoors with music? How did the bass hold up in terms of quality? And to make sure there aren't enough questions 😃if you've tested it, do you think FIIL CC nano can be better in this regard? Thanks again for the valuable youtuber approach 👌

[@Blu3_777]

Buds live gang!!! Im using them as we speak lol watching this video!!! Buds live the best earbuds i ever bought and i own a collection of buds. i use them all day while driving and still being able to here surroundings while maintaining great Bass. The ANC is different on these pair of buds, i found the anc is for bass and sound boost. not too much for noise cancellation which they still do a great job of blocking enough traffic while i can here my surroundings.. I say these a must buy especially for an open ear bud. BTW i own three pairs and planning on buy more just cuz..

[@rafaelchiara]

Bro, eu faço o mesmo que você, mas porque você não dá uma variada para o Sony Linkbuds? Eu arrisquei e não me arrependi! São fantásticos

[@andrew.sulisthio]

Yo, Ken my man, can't believe you truly released this video this early. Exactly what I needed to find a worthy replacement for my old Samsung Beans with new tech.

[@bluebee29]

Nice review! I wanted a half-in ear pair with a good mic, so I was torn between Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS or FIIL CC Nano, but in the end I bought the former because of the price. I got it for $28 with discount vouchers and I thought it was a steal (FIIL was $45)! I just turn off LDAC coz there were latency issues watching KZbin with my Pixel 7. Still happy with my purchase!

[@namedkenn]

Holy crap that’s a veeery good deal! And yes even with standard codecs they sound mighty fine so yeah 😁

[@bluebee29]

​@@namedkennikr?? Your reviews really helped me with my purchase! Thanks man and keep it up!

[@giannux]

Yeah, was looking for it, just bought an IEM 2 weeks ago, but I found it uncomfortable to have a phone call with, half ear is the answer. Thank you.

[@rexe30k]

sorry, i want to ask something, how does the sound quality of these tws compare to in-ear tws with similiar price? because i really don't need ANC, thanks for the videos! your review always helped me out.

[@Ricky_RSC]

I have Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS and Fiil CC Nano, also Fiil T1 Pro and Soundpeats Engine 4, and tried my friend's Galaxy Buds Pro. Here is what i can say from my humble expirience: Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS is really good in the upper mids and treble, but lower mids and bass are weak and thin, bass sounds unnatural. Overall, in quiet places can sound really good and extremely balanced (with eq), like a 60-70% of what a in-ear can give you. Problem: Outdoors the bass disappears, becomes unusable. Fiil CC Nano, for me, have 3 usable EQ's: -Default EQ: Clean, beautiful mids, but lacks bass and could have a bit more highs for details. -Melody preset: Same than default but with a bit more treble. -Bass EQ: Big and natural sounding bass with good extension (but slow, not good for fast bass songs, double pedals in metal, etc), natural mids, a bit weak treble, perfect for outdoors and indoors if the place is not too quiet (otherwise it can be too bass heavy). This EQ is like a 80% of what a in-ear can give you. Problem: You can have either too much bass or almost nothing, there is no midpoint, and the custom eq is unusable since it resets the DSP and eliminates the mids clarity. Fiil is the clear winner, i doubt you can get any closer than this to an in-ear tws. I never used the soundpeats again since i got the Fiil.

[@zurufa4469]

Which Fill should I get for active cancellation better? I love fill since I saw your video. Tolong di bales kak Ken!!!!

[@theaskingman]

Hi Ken, do you think Soundpeats free 2 classic is in overall better compares to True Air 2? Aside from battery life ya. Thanks for the answer.

[@chan13153]

Both are different. Soundpeats free 2 classic are in ear while the true air 2 are semi. If your gonna use these for the gym/sports get free 2 classic. They stayed in my ear very well. However I find True air 2 more comfortable for casual usage. Such as at home or out and about.

Hey man! Thanks for watching them 😁 actually I regret it so much why I didn’t put the Operas on the under 100 recommendations, but yes they definitely sound better than the Liberty, latency is for sure better too (soundcores are not known for their latency) but mic and ANC is gonna go to the Liberty And of course the operas are huge haha By the way I’ll update the links for operas soon it would be awesome if you use it to buy the operas! Thanks 😁

Hey there, actually quite some flagship buds can do it (bose, sony) but I don't really focus on that cause it's more like a gimmick to me, even though for movies I found it to be quite interesting (I'm talking about AirPods Pro 2) On the budget end you can find Soundcore Liberty 4 that supports it, but again I really don't recommend using it on the daily haha

I'm so glad the video helped! And I agree usually earbuds under $30 are not that great when it comes to mic quality, but when you go up to Air3/Air4 or the FIIL CC nano then you'll see a huge jump

What do you think about the nothing ear stick?😊

[@namedkenn]

I'm gonna be honest with you, the nothing stick looks and feels really nice, the way you rotate to open and take the earbuds out is amazing, but in terms of sound quality and features, you can get so much more with these recommendations (i.e. better bass, multipoint, better codecs)

Haha well the Nothing stick is an incredibly nice looking earbuds for sure, the way it twists to open is also very satisfying, but perhaps in terms of sound quality and features it’s rather standard (again comes down to what you need) For example there’s no multipoint connection, also I recommend cranking the bass up in the app

Hence I stayed away from the Haylou(s) ever since. As for this video recommendations, I can stand for the list. Fill CC Nano is the best half in-ear TWS for its metal solid build and sound quality. Comfort wise tho, I would give it to the Soundpeats Air Series (Trueair 2 is my go-to, small case easy to clean, Air 3 for even smaller case and shorter stem). As for Air 3 Deluxe and 4, I don't think I'll be buying it because the case is a major turn-off. Galaxy Buds Live is my first half in-ear, have been with me the longest. The bean shape is nice and all but it's a hassle to adjust and take out.
