#Favorite #Earbuds #2023

[@Garythefireman66]

Love the upgrades on the Pixel Buds Pro, which I use almost all day in the office. The Liberty 4 NC get used once the office empties out, or when I'm anywhere else. Great list Keith!

[@KxC-FK6349]

Haha thats my real name as well

[@bbbt8090]

Soundcore and Earfuns are my go-to buds. Their affordable with top-tier features and sound

[@sukinelson2153]

Love that you brought more iems to this channel this year. I would love to see more especially under $150.

[@philipm.4738]

Thanks for this wrap up. I'm getting the Soundpeats Engine 4 for Christmas so I'm really looking forward to hearing them! I've heard they aren't quite as sparkly in the upper end as the Opera 5s and I'm fine with that😊 I'm a Soundcore fan but Soundpeats is also knocking at my heart's door as well😂 Have a very Merry Christmas Keith and see you in the New Year 🙂

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

ah the 'huh' imaging, well it requires proper dac amp to execute, smth like dx7 and up as for cans i guess livepro and up can pull it

[@singer6032]

Bose Ultra. Just continue to impress me. Technic AZ80 close second.

[@daraakinsooto7247]

If possible, please can you review the Jlab Epic Edition because I think they are going to be a strong competitor for premium earbuds? Thank you

[@mikehancock6280]

I just picked up the QC Ultra. The had them priced wrong at $89 at Walmart. Scored big time.

[@Blu3_777]

Thanks for your hard work this year and all you amazing reviews, it was a Joy watching. I cant wait for whats in store next year, Happy Holidays

[@OfficialGamesky]

Thank you so much, Happy Holidays to you too

[@JT-wn7wb]

Thank you for the follow up most helpful to hear it from a trustworthy source. No doubt sound is subjective, you did not mention the 1More Evo which you had done a review sometime ago. I feel these are there with Liberty 4 & Status pro. Keep them coming !!

[@KxC-FK6349]

No one talks about the Skullcandy Rail ANC that came out August 1, 2023 and i absolutely love their sound for these ones

[@spikeimperial]

the LG tone Free FP9s are 89 USD right now. Surprised no one is talking about those right now. Wish more earbuds implemented their "Plug n Wireless" tech where you plug in the 3.5mm to Usb C cable and turn BT less devices into usable things.

[@OfficialGamesky]

Hell of a deal on those

[@joeb63]

Recently ordered the Between 3 ANC for $100 on their site on Black Friday. Incredible sound. Those and the 1More Evos are my two go to's now

[@rodcrispo5859]

Sound is better on Liberty 4 compared to the NC, though noise cancelling is better

[@BrianHartman]

Great video, Keith, as usual. :) I'm a TOZO guy. For me, they hit the price/features sweet spot. My current daily drivers are the Golden X1.

[@sammyocean8896]

Listening on my Liberty 4NC’s🤙

[@marchervais1269]

On your behalf i bought the edifier neobuds 2 for their very good anc, and the opera 5 while they was on Kickstarter for their promising dual armature drivers. However, if you had reviewed the realme buds air 5 pro, you would be like me and you would not be using the opera 5 anymore. I never had a sounds like the realme buds provide. When i listen to the Beatles, i am in the middle of John, Paul, Georges and Ringo. And this sensation is not occuring only with the Beatles. And the cherry on the cake, is that they are cheaper than most of the buds you speak about. Of course, they are not perfect: their ANC is not better than the opera 5 anc, and their LDAP is less stable. Sometimes i have to switch to SBC, and switch back to ldap again to restore it. But the experience with these buds is incredible. You will only need will be to fine tune them and enable the spatial switch.

[@dzmj3407]

I agree with you! The Realme Buds Air 5 Pros sound absolutely amazing, especially for their price point. I scored two pairs of the Global versions on Ali Express for $57.00 dollars each! I have the Momentum MW3s, Between Status 3 ANC, One Plus Buds Pro 2s, Opera 05s and more and Realme's sound as good or better!

[@marchervais1269]

@@dzmj3407 glad that I am not alone. I don't understand why there is not more communication about them. This being said the anc of the edifiers is much much better. Even for the voices. So I use one set or the other depending on the noise that I expected to face. Happy new year.

[@dzmj3407]

Happy New Year to you as well!@@marchervais1269

[@ronaldomaynard4816]

My favourite is the tozo golden X1. Hopefully there will be a X2 next year

[@robertravare3992]

You have three of my favorite earbuds, the QC 2, the Liberty 4nc and my main earbuds Opera 05s.

[@reginaldpierre]

Hey will you be reviewing the creative aurvana Ace/Ace 2 earbuds?

[@dzmj3407]

Just ordered these! Arriving in a few days. I'll let know you what I think of them. I have over 25 pairs of earbuds, high end, to lower cost high performers (Earfun, Tozo, Sound peats), et.

[@reklovjj]

Save for Opera, Final and Ikko I haven’t tested but you are 100% correct! This is by far the best top picks!! Refreshing indeed thank you so much for this and of course many other reviews!

[@marcellawilburn8290]

I have the ear fun I like the ear buds but I wish they would fixed the problem with them just turning off and on by themselves. I have missed calls because of this. This is my three pear of these.

[@DanielRuelas]

For the past 3 years, every earbud I've bought has been because of your recommendation, can't wait for your review on the Bose Ultra and Soundpeats Space (they are already released in my region)

[@The_Dav1d]

I'm currently rocking the Space A40, got them during Black Friday for 55$ dollars

[@kugelschreiber5678]

Its not on this list, but my daily drivers are the Denon PerL Pros. Im a cringe audiophile, so the sljnd quality of my buds matters WAY more than anything else. The PerL Pro's deliver it in spades. The ANC is also surprisingly top notch, we're talking AP2's level of ANC. Im also going to pick up a pair of pixel bud pros as ive heard nothing but amazing things about them.

[@highfived]

Have a nice Christmas king thank you for all your videos

[@nskbhatia1]

The soundcore liberty, Bose ultras, and the Jabra 10’s are my favorite this year.

[@shabanafzal9440]

Soundcore, edifier and earfun are the best. Bose isn't bad. But the last ones are ridiculous.

[@desertrat6373]

As always another great video Sir... May God richly bless you all this Christmas season.

[@gankstar5]

Hey mate. Watching your video after a while. Great video as always! Hope you've been well. Don't work too hard, get some rest and Merry Christmas in advance.

[@eluv2401]

Great choices. Waiting for a sale on the Soundpeats.

[@jasonMB999]

I wanted the liberty 4nc as my budget earbud but the earfun free pro 3 just took the lead.

[@Advisorblogger]

Thanks for all your hard work this year. I have been rocking the liberty 4nc and samsung buds fe in my current rotation. I've seen two in thus list I may have to add

[@AndrewUKLondon]

Excellent review. How does the Status Between ANC sound quality and Final ze8000 sound quality compare? I mostly use the Status Between ANC and love the audio quality, battery life and unique design. My "work horse" all rounders are airpod pro 2s which ate excellent all rounders (using with my Android phone and with iOS devices).

[@OfficialGamesky]

I feel the Final sounds more open and natural. Bass is better and they sound warmer than the Status...both are great

[@AndrewUKLondon]

@@OfficialGamesky thanks for the reply. I went for the Status Between ANC for the sound quality but also wanted long battery life and better than average up rating, giving my intended use. They're not as good as some of my wired iems however the Status Between ANC are the best audio quality for wireless earbuds that I've ever had, by some way (listening to a wide range of music including classical).

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing your list. Blessings on your day!

[@kkonwkk]

im quite interested in what ikko will involve in their smart TWS next, good to see they are keep updating tho

[@whyarewealwaysyelling]

Tozo NC7s or the JBL Live Free 2. Both under $100 but the NC7s are like $50. I would pick Tozo if I had to pick one. I am disappointed with the Liberty 3's

[@ricardo9208]

Hey Keith, it would be cool if you do more a budget video on Bluetooth over ear headphones. Like under $100.

[@desmondmitchell5602]

I do like earfuns i agree

[@infamousX]

I have Engine 4 and they are very good. Is it worth getting Opera 05 ? Is the sound even better ?

[@armandmandz]

Thanks so much for your hard work .I have a pixel 7 pro ,and I'm torn between the opera 05 and the pixel buds pro. I'm a bass head just like you. what would you recommend. Which pair gives you more bang for your money if you don't mind me asking .I wish I could get them both lol

[@greymugen777]

Another great vid! Sir pls do review the Edifier Hecate GX05, futuristic design and for gamers. Want to know ur insights on this one. Thank u in advance.

[@daraakinsooto7247]

Amazing review, by the way, as always! Thank you!

[@konradbenz7110]

Ikko 👏👏👏👏

[@BIGFOOT.766]

Next pair of headphones you gotta listen to 8d audio music

[@LUIZS87]

I still have the last soundcore liberty 3 pros would you recommend those over the 3?

[@Smykonis]

Great video...like always 🙂. I love my Pixel Buds Pro😊

[@RetroKid]

Should have gone with the Status Pro since they have the better codec.

[@pavlospiaditis8708]

I like soundpeats but all the earbuds that I had broke after a few months. They have amazing sound although I don't know why I have that bad luck with them

[@stevenp4396]

Any opinion on wireless headphones that focus on sound quality?

[@gtbigdog3507]

Just bought the Bose QC for $119 refurbished from Bose

[@EdwinRodriguez-n3t]

Is the ikko similar or better than the JBL TOUR PRO 2 ?

[@reklovjj]

btw where would you rank Bose Ultra?

[@revengedemon497]

Jlab epic lab edition is amazing

[@catalin1859]

Why people wear outside clothes inside? Do you guys can't afford heat or what ? It just looks weird 😕

[@warhawk3912]

I'm just curious about why you got that dirt on your hat.

[@doedoereal]

Soundpeats opera 05 or earfun free pro? They are both 75$ (I mostly care about sound, and i dont know about the fit of the opera)

[@OfficialGamesky]

My pick would be the Opera 05

[@doedoereal]

@@OfficialGamesky Ty for the suggestion i guess i ll just buy them and refund if they dont fit me. Thanks for the great content :D

[@marymadigan9707]

Nice one😎👍

How was your day?

[@OfficialGamesky]

Pretty good, how about yours?

@@OfficialGamesky I am do you want to be friends? Do you have a discord?

[@AlexCrews]

@@OfficialGamesky good

[@bolddennis]

The Status permalink in the comments leads to the Final ze8000. Maybe you can fix that 😉

[@OfficialGamesky]

Fixed, thanks for the heads up

[@daraakinsooto7247]

Don't JBL have something like that?

[@kdark6309]

Yes JBL invented it first...its JBL Tour Pro 2

[@adams6782]

😊👍

[@tdtdtd1826]

329 usd for a set of earbuds haha greedy company for stupid buyers

[@masterazlan6999]

Naa.. Final is mediocre cuz its has been intercepted by svanar yup worlds 1st r2r tws bro have a try will u.. My frm the beginnin is a40 frm soundcore, almost its 3rd yrs now.. meanin batt just awesome n tons of functionality..yea ikko.. B4 u gi far, ikko is sumbody in audiophiles iem worlds bro n this new tech just Wow me.. No mo phones ma but still get connected Kewl.. But hated stem design.. Peace!

[@ben9and1-3rd]

👍🍻

[@nickdual]

I don't like Chinese devices.

[@TheRealMarkS]

I’ve got a collection that contains almost all that you mentioned and more, but I always gravitate to the Soundpeats Engine 4. They’re just amazing. So, question: Being a bass head that loves the Engine 4 sound, would it be worth it for me to add the Opera 05’s? I’m guessing I’d get a bit more sparkle/crisp highs, but it’s not like the Engine 4’s are slouches at that end of the frequency range.

[@ashtonrobinson7771]

I have the Opera 05s and they sound amazing. I think you would love the sound but the fit is a little subpar at least for me.

[@maxchronicler]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@reklovjj]

btw is there a reason why no KZbinrs ever talk about volume potential during reviews and comparisons? Specific examples would be M4 and AZ 80 great sound quality and features yet need to be dialed 20-30% higher on volume versus some other top competitors. Of course at same settings…

[@x3r9g6]

I'm mad that they released the NC right after my GF and I bought the original Liberty 4s but I'm going to keep telling myself it was worth the price.......Wow those ActiveBuds are the future. When I was in high school, everyone had iPod Minis and Nanos. Imagine being in high school and having something like the ActiveBuds

[@tegasodje7997]

Am a bass head. I just love bass in my earbuds. For all you guys here what would you recommend as the best budget bass wireless earbuds under £40. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

[@asan1050]

GAMESKY! 🌲Merry Christmas! and thanks much for posting!

[@daraakinsooto7247]

What is your view on the Jabra Elite 10, Technics AZ80, who can both connect to more than three devices at the same time according to Jabra customer service and their website, and the Technics website confirmed that

[@ashtonrobinson7771]

I'm suprised the FiiTii Hifidots didn't make your top ten list especially after saying they have better sound quality than the Google pixle buds pro.

[@ArlVisal]

How's anc

[@ashtonrobinson7771]

@@ArlVisal not bad, pretty solid. I'll give it a 7.5.
