[@beaconing7689]

That's what i though 😂

[@jetfuview]

Excellent video! I absolutely love the new Nothing Ear (a), in yellow of course!

[@jashansingh000]

Got the earfun air pro 3 for 60$ as per your recommendation, the best 60$ i have spent on a pair of earbuds

[@johngalt7159]

@jashansingh000, I too got it based on their recommendations, how is your case battery pack? I can only charge the buds thrice, but buds battery is very good 👍.

[@ericb3452]

How is the sound after the changed the tuning? It is confusing how they changed post release.

[@SchizoXHaust]

Holy shit I just found ur channel and this is definitely one of the best, I was pretty lost but now I found you guys, NICE WORK YA'LL!

[@anarke216]

Thank you for the wonderful and in depth review. I’m back watching for a second time to watch the top 2 recommend.

[@oThDeth]

😁 Thanks! Always learning!

[@corujariousa]

Thanks for the video! A while back I bought the Soundcore Space A40. They keep going strong. My only "complain" is that they fall off my ears when I eat or if I run. I have unusually narrow ear canals so this is a challenge I have faced with all earbuds I have ever purchased. Since this one has a charging case, customizing the ear-tips is not an option. I am very happy with the purchase.

[@ChrisScott0]

Thanks for the informative comparison reviews. Both interesting and very helpful. After watching your reviews and other’s last year I purchased the EarFun Air Pro 3 and have happily had and used them for over a year now. They are also regularly reduced to under £50 - so a great bargain. I was initially disappointed with the too heavy thumping bass sound - especially worse in Noise Cancelling, but after firmware updates this was mostly fixed. But there is still more bass when in Noise Cancelling. No problems connecting to both my desktop computer and my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra simultaneously or with other Samsung phones. Great APP with great touch control configuration and excellent customer service. I’ve nothing much to complain about EarFun Air Pro 3 buds and I love them. There is a Pause (as good as mute) on playing music, wireless charging and the case is fine, and you can swap ANC mode from both the buds and the APP while playing music, but not from the buds during calls. I’ve never had the battery run out and in Normal, they seem to go on forever. Good on calls and the audio comparable to Samsung buds 4 times the price. They are also comfortable to ware. Super buds at low price, however don’t support Auracast.

[@MRBarton369]

Great stuff as always Fellas! I’d take the Samsung for pods or Soundcores as stem style. The FE has the best fit and sound for the ones I’ve used, (never tried the EF3) the Liberty’s have solid performance and the best features across the board. Great video guys and breakdown.

[@ismaelrivera1999]

Great review . Which you will recommend for running. I have some Beats Fit Pro and the ANC is terrible close to nothing.

[@plasticgoat44]

It's the first time I'm watching you guys, and I am amazed by the strength of your will to avoid that last "test-test-... icle..." Kudos! Oh, and your reviews are pretty good too!

[@deepanshuujjainia9805]

[@deykno87]

Them EarFun air pro 3 are goated usually on sale at 55 bucks only returned because the 4s are coming this summer with aura cast

[@SimonChikezie]

Which would you recommend between the liberty 4nc and one plus 3

[@sadie513]

Great list. I have the Liberty 4 NC but I'm looking for another option for affordable buds with ANC. I might go with the Galaxy FE buds as they're cheaper here than the Nothing Ear A. The latter look really cool though.

[@austinslater4773]

I have the buds 3 and they’re so good. They compete with my 200+ dollar buds easily.

[@ericb3452]

One solid one I bought recently Jlab Air Pro. It has really nice sound. A decent app with 3 eqs plus a custom option. Good microphone. The ambient mode works great outside regarding cars and bikes while your run. US price is 59.00, but it is easy to get for 39.00 with sale price.

[@AndrewYouTubeUK]

Excellent comprehensive review. From the video I’d go for the sound core liberty, if I didn’t already have the Earfun pro 3 (£70). They for me very well and stay in better than most other earbuds I’ve had. Sound with eq with aptx phone is excellent. Case is a big big compared to the likes of the Apple air pro 2. As I don’t have a Samsung phone I wouldn’t touch the Samsung earbuds (I use Apple AirPods Pro 2 with my Android phone and get the advantages of audio quality, controls, transparency etc.

[@surapaneniarunsai5051]

Using the Jabra Elite 4 for the past year, I've encountered no significant problems. However, updates sometimes affect the sound quality, but a reset always fixes it. If anyone has issues, just reset the buds.

[@mrlowbass10]

Could you please make a Video for the HEAVYS H1H please?

[@MrVeeBlog]

Thank you guys. I'd like to hear the Nothing, but no wireless charging kills it for me. Thanks guys. All the best

[@clh7312]

I see Jabra elite 5 are now under $100. Would that bump any of your selections at the end?

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

I gave the Liberty 4 NC a 2nd chance and so far I happy I did. It's rare to find a pair of ear buds with stock tips that stay in my ear even when sweating up a storm. Don't care for audio quality but I do like the multipoint and the low latency added in. A good all-rounder like you guys mentioned. And I do fully agree with the touch controls as they are very finicky. Should I have to adjust them I almost always touch the controls, pausing my audio. And the beeps/noises it makes for switching the ANC/transparency is not much different. The tones for ANC and non-ANC are almost identical. I'd much rather a soft voice be used to tell the difference.

[@KumarSagar]

I recently gifted the Buds FE to my mother on, well, Mothers' day. Great to have the DHRME seal of approval. Divine High Res for Mother's Ears? DHRME?

[@user-gq7do1wm9g]

I'm a challenging fit and find I need Spinfit Omni in XL. Not sure if any of these would work with those tips; probably not the short oval nozzle types, or those that feature small and tight cases...

[@moondrt]

I would wonder how some of these buds compare to older ones, since I just lost my galaxy buds pro 😂 would also love to see if there are some headsets or earbuds that are also equiped with okay mics for discord and gaming, since on galaxy pro buds, my friends said sounded quite bad

[@neilchan7361]

For what it's worth, for those who value comfort but also need some level of noise-cancelling function, I have to give a shout-out to the Huawei FreeBuds 5. I've been using them for quite some time, and they are the best in their niche. I'm waiting for the new AirPods with noise cancelling and hope they don't disappoint.

[@joshmonty3377]

Hey Guys! Thanks for the great reviews! Was looking into the oneplus buds 3 but a little confused as to how you used the LHDC codec on a Samsung device? I personally use an LG but as the buds don't support LDAC or AptX which I prefer (to preserve phone battery life and as a middle ground between listening to lossless audio and spotify) I'm having second thoughts.

[@DHRME]

We didn’t use the LHDC with Samsung. It was the Nothing Phone.

[@joshmonty3377]

@@DHRME Awesome! Thanks for the quick response! 🙌🏽

[@mahfoojkhan5707]

Great comparison, just obe doubt though will one plus buds 3 lhdc works on samsung phone as i have s23?

[@DHRME]

Nope Samsung phones don't support LHDC.

[@orangebutblue]

Can someone tell me which sounds better between Nothing Ear(a) and Soundcore Liberty 4 NC?

[@Amer-Adel]

Which headphone Anker Liberty 4 NC or Nothing ear a is better in terms of noise cancellation and microphone quality in particular? Because I spoke to someone wearing both, I noticed an intermittent and noticeable deterioration in the sound quality of Anker Liberty 4 NC in all noise cancellation modes.

[@59yashchauhan54]

25:49 I used to get around 8 hours (ANC turned ON) with my 4NC back in Dec 2023 Nowadays I get around 6 hours (ANC turned ON) I’ve been using my earbuds around 8-10 hours Everyday since past 6 months 27:33 Long press on either earbud to change from AMB to OFF to ANC

[@Loc1792]

I'd love a samsung but the bud 2 pro started giving me ear rashes suddenly. Switched to the one plus buds 3 and kinda like the stem form and ive noticed they fall out less which is strange. Among these what would you recommend for running and weight training ?

[@DHRME]

Whichever fit YOUR ears. For us, the Samsung for sure.

[@PocariPocari]

Thanks DHRME, (Daring High-fi Reviewers of Music Equipment)

[@DaanDoeswijk-zu6ep]

How does your rating system work? Is classing for example ANC tier A to a sub 100 dollar set of earbuds the same as classing tier A, let's say, to a 300 dollar set? Like, would that mean they both have the same quality ANC, or they have tier A for that price range?

[@DHRME]

Yes. Same rating system irrespective of price.

[@DaanDoeswijk-zu6ep]

@@DHRME Thanks! I bought the liberty 4 NC's but wasn't really impressed with the ANC, even though it said I have a perfect fit. The ear (a)'s should be about the same, according to your ranking, right? Would it than be an upgrade if I buy the regular ear's?

[@Duck.270]

I have a question I've been trying to get some Linkbuds s on sale and on Amazon I found some for 60 dollars they are refurbished should I get them please help

Sorry chaps but you can change ANC straight from the liberty 4 buds. I long press the left bud to switch from ANC off, then to Full on, then to Ambient mode. Thanks for the video.

Earfun has really good support and warranty support in North America.

[@DHRME]

That's great to hear!

[@yudheyuyu1213]

Still vote for Realme buds 5 pro. Even the non pro version is that good. ANC is nothing to write about but if you can find the correct earbuds things will go smooth

[@caobgtco]

I endorse the above comments of @yudheyuyu1213 except ANC. I find ANC also is good especially for its price.

[@nandishkohli5076]

[@GoldenDrummer730]

I think the LG Tone Free FP8 ($69.99 at the time of this comment) or if you push it a bit LG Tone Free FP9 ( $52.25 at the time of this comment on sale, usually at $200) should also be considered for people as I think they are a pretty underrated set of earbuds that have some great sound and great comfort!

[@marymadigan9707]

Thanks guys 😎

[@JiasenLiu]

I have both buds fe and a second hand linkbuds s with the same price. Go with linkbuds s, guys. It has better sound quality, better anc and a slimmer profile.

Nice review, the Soundcore Liberty 4 are really looking decent for their price. I have the Oneplus Buds 3 and want to clear up a few things. 1. Fit is also a bit meh on mine but you can get spinfit or other tips that fit better. However, because they fit so shallow they are super comfortable to wear all day 2. I prefer the ANC with voice bleed through (except when babies cry, lol), with strong ANC it feels like I'm in a cocoon or something 3. The ANC is weird with wind mode. If you have it set to max and there's some wind it will revert to a medium or low ANC. This is also noticeable when using the transparency mode. If you use transparency when there's wind it basically switches on the medium/low ANC mode (kinda annoying IMHO), and this makes transparency useless for cycling 4. The case does have an IPX rating, I believe it's rated at IPX4 for the case. Great video guys, great testi....ng

If i had 100 to burn i would still buy the jabra elite 85t The best. Ive tried em all from Sennheiser losing there momentum cause one bud dies each time within months i had the 1 ,2 , and third version. I couldn't try 4th gen honestly cause of a bad taste of letdown in my mouth. Been through the galaxy buds. the buds plus blew my mind at the time but i feel its taking steps back in sound. Lets not talk about the buds live...i mean dead. Next ...master and dynamic are great had 4 generations . Or are they? Sony xm4 amzing xm3 most over rated buds all time. Big and heavy and dumb design. I can go on and on. If you know you know...i love tech in general. And i have tested 100 earbuds. I work outside with loud equipment and also love music. Jabra elite 85t are cheap everywhere buy them for cheap then tell me where the lie is?
