BEST ANC Earbuds of 2024! (By Category)

[@craftedtunesentertainment5569]

To consider $150 as "budget" is crazy. You're automatically cutting off a lot of really good earbuds under 100. Smh.

DO NOT PURCHASE THE BOSE ULTRAS!!! Noise cancellation on these earbuds are immaculate, but these earbuds are absolute trash. I’ve gone through three different sets of the ultra earbuds in the last 2months, and after about 10 days I have static interference in the right ear. Happened every time... there are a plethora of videos on KZbin as well as Reddit conversations letting you know that this is not worth wasting your money.

[@Rx7_T51R]

Damn I was gonna buy a pair for $100 this weekend

[@baidencrosskey4250]

Complete BS, I've had a pair since they came out last year and they're still going strong. I dunno what happened to yours but they are phenominal.

[@jessekurtti37]

I’ve had the same problem with the QC2. Don’t get me wrong, they are incredible, but they need to be handled with velvet gloves, and stored in bubble wrap.

[@EntryNo5]

I second this. Bought a set of Bose earbuds and a year later, I started getting white and red flashing error lights on the earbuds indicating an error. I sent it to the official Bose service center, they said the battery on the right earbud died. The left earbud is fine, but unfortunately can't be used without the right. Bose unfortunately cannot service these kinds of defects as the battery is soldered into the earbud. It had to be replaced. But since my earbuds were already past the 1 year warranty and there is nothing they can do about it, now i have a $200+ paperweight in the house branded Bose. I also checked the internet for possible fixes, and I just ended up finding more people with Bose product issues... so be careful.

[@Rkcuddles]

You convinced me to buy ear hooks for my AirPod pros and call it a day.

@@edmundrbx6546 I'm not sure why, but if you bought the AirPods Pro 2 when they first came out, you might notice a significant difference in the ANC

[@dforero3967]

Yep on both pro 2 and Max.

[@oOBlindyOo]

I'd caution people with the Xm5s, they have the same issue as the XM4s in that after the 1 year mark they seem to have one ear bud losing charge SIGNIFICANTLY Faster than the other. Speaking to my XM4... phenominal earbud, i'd imagine hte 5 is even better. But the battery issue is awful. I used to get 8 hours of life and now only 20 minutes. Not exaggerating.

[@ricksanchez8469]

And the hinges break on their expensive over-ear headphones, I wouldn't buy anything Sony until all their issues are resolved.

[@rutgerkosten1744]

I am also very disappointed in the sony xm4. After just over a year, the battery dies after fifteen minutes. No more Sony for me. Too bad because the sound was great.

[@tappinkeg]

Exactly, I have tried at least 15 different earbuds in the past 3 years and although jabra usually gets skipped by. They are so comfortable, controls are easy. ANC can be better. But overall, they are my go to earbuds.

[@PAbebora]

I love my Nothing Ear 1s, but my left side just split or came apart. It didn't effect any thing but, it's time to get another. I just glued the 2 pieces back together & I'll most likely get the Nothing Ear 2's. They are so comfortable & I've owned many $150 & below buds. The Nothings just take the cake for me in 2024. I'm not spending more than $150, I might get the $65 Earfun Air Pro 3 NC's or the JBL Tune 230NC TWS for $99. Probably, many people are like me & are just looking at buds below the $100 range.

I own the Bose earbuds and even if the noise cancellation is really good (much better than the Sony XM3 headphones), some things are really annoying me in the daily use : - when you remove one earbud, it stops the noise cancellation on the other earbuds, which doesn’t make any sense to me - if you are using only one earbud at a time, you have to press 2 times on the earbud to have noise cancellation (even if the other one is still in the box) - a lot of time, the sound desynchronizes for a second or two - you can’t see the battery percentage of the case

I had the momentum 3s, loved the sound quality and it had the best touch control experience I've ever had on wireless earbuds. Sadly, they started to cease disconnecting properly when placed.

I own the TWM3 too. The first ones i got startet to feedback as soon as ANC was on. So i returned them since i absolutly love the sound i got a new pair that now doesn't really recharge the buds. it only charges with luck when they are under 10% and only if the buds are placed in the case like 5 or 6 times for buds that cost that much thats just not good enough
