[@Antonis24]

I bought the Sennheiser TWS3 in 2022. Since then I've had to send them twice for repair/replacement, as the earbuds stop charging after a few months. After the first replacement, the right earbud stopped charging two weeks ago and I've sent them again for repair/replacement. Keep in mind I take really good care of them, keep them clean and they've never been dropped. Factory reset could not fix the problem.

[@roycefam6608]

Same issue here..twice.. and their customer service sucks

[@MrUzziman]

I've had an issue with the Sony XM4 earbuds (after using it more than a year and half) that the left earbud would just drain the battery in 20 minutes... luckily Sony gave me a refund. So I bought the XM5 earbuds and after using it for 2 months, the case stopped charging. I tried doing a factory reset but it just wouldn't do it.

[@samuelrobert4171]

[@snowcloudshinobi]

buyer beware: those beats fit pros will destroy your ears. mine are so sore, i can't even touch them without wincing. the paint on the case also rubs off easily, even in your pocket, which is super disappointing for something with that price range. not happy. update: it's been roughly 2 weeks since and my ears have adjusted to the buds, although they do still feel sore when i remove them. maybe they're not so bad! if you're willing to go through the initial suffering.

[@AJR352]

I have the denon perl pro and the sound quality is phenomenal but they were hurting me ears so much I put a return on Amazon and just picked up the xm5 and they are so comfortable I recommend them if you get tired of the soreness

[@noktrnl123]

IDK if your opinion is subjective. Especially due to sizing of ears for comfortability. Maybe a pic would help but it'd help for people with different sized ears and canals.

[@snowcloudshinobi]

@@noktrnl123 of course, i'm just sharing my personal experience. the beats fit pro come with 3 pairs of different size buds so there is some variety but most of the discomfort is caused by the wingtips.

[@sureshkrishnan4752]

Perfect review - Straight to the point. Nice. Thank you.

[@Nines_XIII]

@Mike Love these vids, but since you are recommending some of these, it would be nice if you could also mention CONS with the earbuds. Some of these have had issues that appeared after a few months using them and it would be useful if you could address this as you continue to recommend them, so we as consumers have the absolute latest and most complete information before buying. For example, I've seen lots of complaints about battery and connectivity with the XM5s, or sound quality getting worse for the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 after an update. Avoiding to mention these facts result in an outdated review and possibly overlooking a big factor when choosing which to purchase. Thank you for the content and I hope you appreciate my feedback.

[@matttylermiller88]

Totally agree! I bought the Sony XM4s a year ago and had battery issues after a bad update. Almost bought the XM5s until I heard they too had could have battery issues similar to the XM4s. Definitely important to hear the negatives of these products as well before making the purchase.

[@AndrewUKLondon]

I agree listing cons is a good idea. I haven't had battery issues with Sony earbuds. But I have with some other brands (Lypertek mentioning no names!)

[@mitchn9394]

​@matttylermiller88 I'm here for the exact same reason. My xm4s have been terrible for the past 2 months and now it's time for an upgrade. Battery life is lucky to get me 20mins nowadays.

[@adriancc4240]

I've been using the Beats Studio Buds bluetooth headphones for over two years now and they still work flawlessly, have quality sound and are comfortable in the ear. This year I'm thinking of replacing them, but I don't know what other bluetooth headphones to choose. Maybe with the Beats Studio Buds+ if they drop in price?

[@shambhavipant3157]

Amazing review as always, Mike! What’s your take on Marshall Willen 3 as an open fit pair of earbuds for regular use? I do find them extremely appealing especially in the burgundy colour.

[@jackmcfarlane7173]

Do you have any recommendations as to the most durable/long-lasting buds? I'm sick of buying a new pair every year or two. I want a pair that will last.

[@kirin7409]

Hey, do you have any recs for earbuds that have multipoint connection and ENC for calls under 50 dollars?

[@AndrewUKLondon]

Excellent review, helpful and informative. My daily workhorse are apple airpods pro 2 (I'm using apple, android and Windows devices. It's a myth that you need to be fully in the apple ecosystem, you can update them with a ipad and get ANC, transparency, audio benefits on my android phone. They're excellent all rounders and the only earbuds I've had which screen out the sharp screeching on the London underground Jubilee line). I had the link bud S in the past and loved those, tried the xmf5 and liked those but decided to go with the Status Between ANC. They are far and away the best wireless earbuds I've had for audio quality. I've also enjoyed the Earfun pro 3 as a cheaper workhorse (best with eq'ing). The Status Between ANC really highlight how little codecs matter in comparison to hardware and tuning. They're a great fit for me, very long battery life too. And it's great having something that doesn't look like yet another apple earpod design or a button in your ear!

I still have the original Galaxy buds that i got shortly after they were released in 2019 and they still work great! Still have like 6-8hrs of battery life and the charging case i only need to recharge like once every 3-4 weeks, good sound quality, good Noise cancellation. Almost 5 years and still going strong.

[@JustOutHereTinkering]

​@nihalbhamrah4726 That's odd yours don't have transparency mode mine do. Just long pressing the ear bud puts it in that mode. For the volume they could be clogged up in those tiny holes after years of use, or they could be dying on you.

[@benbradshaw4036]

Great review!!! Have you experienced the Status ear buds? They claim to be the only brand that has triple drivers in their buds. Also producing excellent bass along with crisp highs. Maybe add base quality to your next set reviews Thanks again.

[@dimi-88]

[@stuartmuncey9855]

Do the beats pro still have the hissing and crackling noise that was mentioned in their original review?

[@whynot3413]

I love my Bose ultra quiet earbuds but one major thing that’s making me consider buying a different set for working out specifically is the touch sensors!!! When working out I found these to be bugging out a lot, especially when sweaty. One major thing about them is when wearing a hoodie, or beanie they will automatically change songs and settings as you move around. So I’ll look into some beats and see how they go.

[@jewmajorj]

Don’t forget about that awful microphone/call quality.

[@lagosj77]

Thanks Mike. Great vid. I would only say that the beats fit pro aren’t secure for every ear. I was pumped after owning power beats and they fell easily. Also the wing tip didn’t last past a year even though I was careful.

[@boxman3181]

What would you recommend between buds2 pro and buds FE. What is the battery life for both?

[@fredez6763]

The Airpods Pro 2 always come to get a little loose in my ear, especially within my right one. I mean, they won't ever fall out, they're stuck due to the overall shape. But I really feel there is some. It feels there is a small gap being created after they're in for some time, no matter what size of ear tip I use. I returned them just last week for this reason only 😢. I used the form assistent a ton to get the right shape of tip, but each and every time, they get loose after a few minutes. I'm thinking of getting the Bose Quitecomfort 2 (Ultra) or the Samsung Buds FE.

[@DiegoSanchez-yx9ss]

Same thing happening to me with the Galaxy Buds 2pro. What headphones did you get?

[@sherylmeasel2165]

i'm new to ANC earbuds, and need it for traffic noise when sleeping. Does the Quieton 3.1 work better than the Bose if you want no noise at all?

[@cwidener310]

I just bought me and my son the soundcore liberty 4NC. Can’t wait to listen to them. Only $69.99 on Amazon

[@dxone31013]

Went back and forward with different brands, but ended up with the Denon Perl Pro true… the sound quality is unmatched with these ones.

[@jagrios00]

I bought 2 air buds this year. The Sennheiser and AirPod pro. AirPod pro is a pretty good sounding EarPods. But super uncomfortable with the silicone tips. Sennheiser was super. Amazing bass. Great sound that can be customized. Amazing ANC. But also uncomfortable to fit in my ear. No tip felt right. They kept falling out and ended up breaking. Had to replaced them. But they fell out walking my dog and broke. So right now I’m using my AirPods

[@aaronf7175]

I’m a carpenter/builder and would love to know what you think the best earbuds would be if I’m looking for low price point, durability as well as noise cancelation for high decibel/high frequency sound. I almost prefer if the low frequency noise can get through because then I can hear people talk without going deaf from tool/equipment noise.

[@jaketaylor1288]

Airpods pros are probably the best for you, sounds like you really want a good ANC. apple has the best in this overall, it can detect loud noises while allowing quiter ones through.

[@zishere48]

ANC does not have an actual NRR rating. If you're looking for actual protection, these won't provide much, if any. They aren't cheap, but some of the construction tool brands make earbuds with DB reduction as well as ANC.

[@alejandroelcid]

Currently, in terms of TWS with ANC I am using the LinkBuds S, at their retail price they are a bad purchase but on sale ($128) they are a fantastic value. Personally, I would recommend swapping ear tips, but that is a personal preference. From what I have seen the Moondrop Space Travel would make for a great Christmas gift for the person in your life who doesn't need all the features and cannot stand in-ears; right now it is $22.

[@hectoraguirreteran7042]

I had them in the beige color and they had bad battery life and bad connection with my phone, volume and sound was pretty good as well as the fit, if only the battery and connection was better I would have not sold them and bought the AirPods Pro 2.

[@steve_the_designer]

How do you leave out the Status Between 3ANC? They’d take best sound quality for sure

[@theredbar-cross8515]

The XM5 would be one of the best choices if not for their lack of wingtips. I just can't get these to stay in. I've tried Spinfit, AZLA and others. Either they're too loose, or they create very bad occlusion because of a very tight air seal. Bose QC Ultra are the best of the big boys, for no other reason than having wingtips and minimal occlusion.

[@jamessidari2467]

Agreed. I really wanted to like these but they would constantly fall out and I never got a good seal. I ultimately went with Bose but do say I miss some of the features that the xm5s have.

[@jamessidari2467]

Just one addition for the Sennheiser Momentum True wireless, if you use them daily they dont really last for long. I have had the MTW2 since they came out, they lasted like a year and then somehow the right bud stopped working. I got them replaced by Sennheiser for free so thats a point for them atleast but the second pair also just lasted like a year then had the same problem. Then they gave me the MTW3 wich also were great in Sound qual, but now after like 9 Months they also got the same Issue. So all together you can say they have good Sound quality and a good customer Service but sadly in the long term they are not really reliable.

Just ordered the bose qc ultra, had the bose qc 2 and they were AMAZING they lasted me for about 2 and a half years of daily wearing them I even used them during rainy days while I would fish the coast!! the sound was amazing and the way it manages to eliminate sound from the outside is scary. I would have easily paid twice the amount for that quality. Recently tho I started wearing them to sleep…. And they broke 😢 the tip that goes in ur ear just completely snapped and fell off. I’m super excited for this newer version I know I can never go wrong with Bose some people claim that Sony has louder sound but tbh if you need something louder than what Bose has to offer ur probably going to have to go to the doctor to get ur ears checked 😂😂😂😂 I loveeeeee the Bose qc2 and that’s coming from a person that wears them 14 hours a day 5 days out of the week!

Trying to do a little research here. I go to the shooting range a lot and looking for a pair of earbuds that can do noise canceling on them to protect my ears but hopefully with Bluetooth capabilities. Do any of these work for that or can you suggest an other kind for my needs. Thank you.

[@CanadianSpaceBoy]

Anc will not help at a shooting range... you need to keep using "passive noise cancelling" active noise cancelation uses sounds waves I can't remember if it's a sin or a cos wave, to play the same sound but "inverting the timing of the sound wave" to put it in a simple way. To cancel noise an anc earbud must play the inverse of the ambient sounds at the same intensity! Meaning if they could cancel the sound of a gunshot they would have to be able to play sounds as loud as a gunshot plus if it could and malfunctioned. It would be the same as putting your ear next to the barrel of 2 guns firing at the same time. You would suffer severe ear trauma. Anyways hope it helps and keep safe at the firing range!

My favorite so far are the OnePlus buds pro 2. I was legitimately shocked at how good they are.

[@theonewhostonks]

what specifically were they good at

[@24k.purelife]

@@theonewhostonksI’m guessing sound ?

[@marriahgrant5212]

Do all of these have microphones?

[@Mason-fv1zl]

I have the second generation AirPods had them for about three years now and they’ve been amazing. Can’t complain, but something happened to the left earbud I might’ve crushed it but it’s very raspy now, I might go for a different brand just to try it why not.🤷🏼‍♂️

[@causey1956]

Comply just came out with foam tips for the Bose. Just ordered but haven’t received them yet. Have all the major earbuds and the Liberty 4nc are just good all around earbuds especially for wind noise.

[@justinlim2778]

i have been using the nothing ear 1s for about 3 years now until the left side broke. im thinking of getting a new one but im not sure which to get tho. probably the airpod pros or smth else with silicone tips since i use my earphones for pretty much everything and plastic tips tend to slip out more. i really love how my earbuds sound but im not sure if i should get the ear 2 or smth else

[@AtlanticPicture]

Was hoping to see a real open fit or maybe a bone conduction in the selection. I was looking for one for ages bc I wear headphones a lot and sometimes for YT, Zoom, or just to listen someone talk I don't need my large over ear that will be uncomfortable after 3-4 hrs anyway. It's hard to find one that leaves the ear canal open. Saw only two that I liked, the SHOKZ OpenFit and the JVC NP35T.

I love your opinion...you are the best...I am a bass lover and please recommend me something with a lot of bass up to $500..currently I have jabra elite 8 and I want to take it to another level..thanks and respect

[@shawnkai532]

I've tried most earbuds under $300 and ended up with the jabra-elite-10.. very happy with them

[@ra0333]

Do the non apple buds have the same functionality as apple ones? The apple ecosystem benefits?

[@itzpulseps4214]

i love my sony wf 1000xm5s only problem is they fall out when i run because the foam trying to expand just pushes them out when im sweating but i love that i can sleep with them in and they never hurt they are the comfiest earbuds ive owned never have sore ears from them and i have over 2,000 hours of use out of them

[@marshallmoney3293]

I work in a factory with a lot of high-pitched noises sometimes it echoes off the wall and it’s really loud. I need the best noise cancellation.

[@Bugdeek]

Cool

[@otoshi1010]

Technics AZ80 are my favourite for 2023. Great sound, great ANC, great app features, finally have wireless charging unlike AZ60, and 3 way multipoint.

[@joncruz]

I’ve heard they are great but weak ANC and Bass compared to Bose that’s why I’m still at the fence.

[@jmack84]

Hello, (anyone) I have Soundcore Liberty 3 Pros and LOVE them. I've had them for 2 years and they are getting a little worn so I'm looking for my next pair in that price range or a bit higher. The dual driver along with the HearID customization feature was a game changer for me. I have hearing loss in one ear and the HearID feature provides me with the best balance and sound that I've ever had in an earbud. I'm wondering what you suggest that can give me the crisp highs and thumpy defined lows that the Liberty 3 Pros have but also has a HearID type app? Preferably dual driver.

[@damianfitforfun2989]

I got nothing ear 2, super happy with it. Love the design, sound quality, mic, look and price

[@Igttftc122]

Sounds fun,I was also interested in buying them,do you mind telling me if they sound good on iOS ( if you are already using an iOS device) and is the codec that was mentioned in the video with iOS,iam new in the audio world would appreciate it.

[@danboyd6180]

Best for fitting under motorcycle helmet? So low profile?

[@sebastien2994]

someone may help me ? knowing what was the anc white noise number test in a ipod pro first generation ? so i may compare with what i have. thanks !

[@darkphoenix2]

I wish the neckband style was more popular, they're just more convenient for me at work. But finding the best of that style right now is really hard, most brands only have 1 or 2 models and they're a few years old, pricey, or cheap.

[@Gemneye6]

ME TOO Have lost so many buds from falling out my ear 😩 Just got air pods pro 2 There’s a little Hope I don’t lose them 🤞🏾

[@marklancaster2812]

As someone who owns the Sony WF-1000XM5 I cant recommend them, the sound is probably the best Iv've heard, battery life is really good, as is the nose cancelling but they constantly fall out of my ears. Tried different tip sizes and tons of stuff but they just dont stop in.

[@royaldecreeforthechurchofm8409]

Did u try foam buds and twisting it in like u are meant to

[@marklancaster2812]

@@royaldecreeforthechurchofm8409 yes buddy I did. Watched various tutorials how to fit them and did their fit test multiple times.

Although AirPods are amazing I’ve gone through two pairs now and neither of them have lasted longer than a year without some sort of issue

[@mts4651]

You should try the Dao Tws Redmagic very interesting earbuds

[@RpM_Jake]

Question: I'm using a cheap pair of open fit earbuds but I'm looking to upgrade. I tried a pair with the silicone tips once, but I could not get them to fit in my ears at all. By this I don't mean that they were slightly loose but that with the tiniest head movement they just fell out because they didn't sit anywhere near where they should be. Has anyone ever experienced this or know if it's possible for ears not to fit this type of earbuds or was I most likely not putting them in right? I'd like to have great noise cancellation and I think there's much better options for earbuds with the silicone tips so I would appreciate some advice.

[@jenifonh.6949]

My experience with Sennheiser buds has been a love hate kinda one. At first, i acquired the TW2’s. Loved them to bits. Sound quality was amazing, compared to my previous airpods. However. After a short while, the right earbud could no longer charge. I got them replaced under warranty, and my second pair lasted a little under a year, with the SAME EXACT ISSUE! Decided to give sennheiser a final chance by getting the TW3’s at the start of last year. At first i was very happy with the purchase, great sound quality, battery life and so forth. I experienced the same issue with the right earbud after only 8 months! Got a second pair under warranty, and that pair lasted about 4 months! Personally i would say i take good care of my earbuds, so this makes no sense to me. I have since then decided to get the JBL tour buds pro 2. By far the best decision i have made. Absolutely amazing battery life, sound quality, easy to use app and a smart case with a little screen on it, where you can control different things on (i find it a bit gimmicky, but its cool nontheless!)

[@freyncis3161]

Really gotta appreciate the OG Airpods for pushing competition in the market

[@AtlasPainkiller]

Any updates on bugs on the XM5s? I know I had to discard my XM4s due to their annoying battery drain. Currently driving Audio Technica's ATH-TWX9 and what little I sacrifice in ANC, the sound pays it off.

[@stevesteve6223]

I use earbuds primarily for phone calls and occasionally listening to KZbin if I'm on an airplane. My absolute favorite are Edifier NeoBuds Pro2.

[@rizman6053]

Im always the loyal fan of Sony MX. The sound and noise cancellation are just so good, making me hard to move to Airpods (as i love Apple products). My only problem with Sony is after 1 year, the battery issue starts. Using it less than 1 hour, it will say battery is low, then suddenly it’s off. And also, it starts to disconnect from bluetooth for no reason. I dont know if anyone else experience the same. Fyi, i buy original from Sony, but i did not buy the extended warranty after 12 months (i should have). Now i need to buy a new one - weighing between Sony MX5 or Airpods Pro. If anyone has been using both, please advice me? Sony has been perfect for me but for a lifespan of 1 year. Im hoping to change earbuds after 2-3 years that would be nice, but not every 12 months
