Top 10 $200+ Earbuds - Early 2024

[@bubustyle2070]

Yes...my beloved Denon Perl Pro is number 1...😊

[@norrismannjr]

1. Devialet Gemini II 2. Denon perl pro 3. Beoplay ex 4. HiFiDots I think the others ones outside of these 4 have their strengths and weaknesses.

[@ronontech]

I agree with the top two. But I can't get behind the other two. Both were big disappointments to me.

[@bubustyle2070]

So for me the Denon are number 1. Because they are absolute all-rounders. The Devialet are really good but are number 2 for me. The Beoplay EX are ok but they don't come close to Denon or Devialet!!!!

[@JCjrise78592]

I bought the Devialet Gemini II based on your tests and I am absolutely thrilled! The sound doesn't just blow me away, but everyone who has tried my headphones. Thank you very much for your videos and your work!👍

[@ronontech]

Glad I could help!

[@Omey75]

Hi Ron great video as always and appreciate your content. Through your help I was able to purchase the Status between 3. But can you please do a review on the “sanwear” earbuds by sansounds if you get the chance. They’re a new company and have been seeing people rave about them. Thank you!

[@williambernabe5615]

I got a pair of the Denon perl pro and it's the best earbuds that I have ever lasted too

[@victorsanchez5991]

I bought the Gemini II based on your last video where you compared the Denon vs Geminis, I tried them for a few days, at that time I owned the Nura True Pro, I tried them for a few days and decided to return the Gemini II because I realized that my nura were better for my taste and I see now that time has proven me right why now you put denon in first place again hahaha I knew I was not wrong, now I need some headphones I have the bowers in wilkins px8 a few days ago and today I received the Focal Bathys. I'm looking forward to your comparison of these two monsters to see which one stays with me. If you can, tell me which one of these two is better so I don't have to wait for the video.

[@ronontech]

I can't say which one to go with without an honest review. I liket them both, personally. I'll try to get the video out as soon as possible.

[@rockinrondogg]

Bought my Denon buds after seeing your review. Couldn’t be happier. Only two factors that I cared for my use case were sound quality and staying in my ears. Sound quality is the best I’ve heard and I could keep them in my ears for hours. Seems like most channels don’t mention them at all in comparison vids.

[@ronontech]

Glad I could help!

[@velisamitic4934]

As always, extra video, I completely agree with you on your comparisons. when you test the Philips Fidelio T2? I think you will change the list a bit, they are phenomenal, I bought them for less than 200eu, the only thing that is not good is in the transparent mode, they lose the quality of the music, but when you turn on the ANC then comes the expected quality. I can't wait for your test greetings from 🇦🇹👍👌

[@ronontech]

I'm trying to get the T2s in. I really want to test and compare them.

[@ahmadahmad-bw6vg]

I respect you I appreciate you please tell me what about earbuds like huwaei free clip and Bose ultra open which has better sound quality and better experience for listening those or the traditional earbuds thank you

[@ronontech]

I do have a video comparing the two. Check out my channel.

[@jiagforal]

Loving my Gemini 2 over my Sennheiser MTW 4 over my Beoplay EX. Never tried Denon pro . I am trying not to get them but comments are tempting me😂

[@ronontech]

I understand completely. But they are amazing.

[@nbisgo]

What’s the difference between Denon Perl pros and nuratrue pros

[@Hijynx87]

I use my 3anc way more than my perl pros....I should redo my personal profile and give em another shot. what tips do you recommend?

[@ronontech]

I do recommend redoing your personlized sound profile.

[@Fidz0]

hi Ron can you please do a review on the Noble FoKus Prestige TWS. Thank you

[@ronontech]

I'm hoping to get those and the Triumphs in to test. Stay tuned.

[@JoePolice]

Hi ron how about top 10 at any price?

[@ronontech]

That video is out now.

[@jonathanbarnes7641]

Which are the best sounding for hiphop and reggae genres since those are the only genres I play mostly on my iPhone 📱?

[@ronontech]

All of them, IMO. But if I had to choose, I would go with my Top 5 for those genres.

[@jonathanbarnes7641]

@@ronontech thanks I’m looking at your 1&2 picks which one out of those two you would say has more bass for reggae and hiphop music?

[@ronontech]

@@jonathanbarnes7641 The Denon PerL Pro.

[@unonice]

Bowers and Wilkins Pi7 S2 Earbuds .. do you have them ?? Where do you rank them ??

[@ronontech]

No, I don't have them. Not sure where or if I would rank them.

[@unonice]

@@ronontech .. gotcha .. they have very good deep bass, crisp highs (not piercing) .. no distortion at max volume .. very clean sound .. the app is lame , but the when listening to music the sound is so good, you kinda forget about the app .. I have not tried using them for phone calls , I got these strictly to listen to music, and they are the best sounding I've have ever owned .. check them out dude .. I think you'll like them ..

[@MikkiH-c6x]

What about comfort of the top three I’ve only used AirPod pros and they just aren’t comfortable in my ears after an hour You mentioned sound, but what about comfort in your top three

[@ronontech]

My top 3 for comfort (right now)... 1 - UE Fits 2 - Sony XM5/LinkBuds S 3 - Earfun Free Pro 3

[@mangbecak1]

Whoa, were are the status between anc?

[@ronontech]

The Status Between 3ANC cost less than $200. That's why they're not on this list.

[@Hijynx87]

The are the best under 200

[@petermurage8685]

Excellent list Ron. How do you burn the earbuds. I ask because i have the soundcore liberty 4 which I absolutely love. The spatial audio, the headtracking, everything except the bass. I wish they-had more bass. Can burn in help improve the bass? If not, which earbuds would you recommend under $150 with headtracking

[@mikeevans7381]

The Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro is coming very soon. Just saying. 🇺🇸

[@ronontech]

I let them play for hours at a time. Some earbuds have apps that give you the burn-in feature (like 1MORE).

[@xtal191]

Cambridge Melomania M100 are only £139/€169/$159 at the moment, seem like an absolute bargain at that price

[@wendym740]

I grabbed 'em. I've been eyeing them for a long time! I just won't pay over $200 for earbuds. They don't live forever, and because there can be little difference in some cheaper pairs compared to the expensive pairs, I can't justify paying top dollar. So I wait for sales, buy them used, whatever....But my biggest mistake was buying a pair of Beoplay Ex for $100. Fakes that couldn't connect to the app.

[@Elazarko]

Burn in really?

[@ronontech]

Yep. Some apps offer that feature. Like the 1MORE app, for instance. Just play sound through the earbuds for several hours. The more you use them the better they sound.

[@masterazlan6999]

Now we r talkin'..Peace! The best episodes..btw perl r copycat of old skol NuraTrue...IF u r tws oldtimer u'll know..Anyway the best episodes is tiers list indeed..Peace2!

[@ronontech]

Actually, the PerL Pro are the updated version of the NuraTrue. Denon bought NuraTrue and updated the mics.

[@steffenneuhaus3397]

Sorry, bad sound!

[@ronontech]

Thanks for the tip.

[@brianschooley3833]

I would never pay, 200 dollars for ear buds, Tozo, sells awesome buds, for under 50 dollars, and sound just as good or better, than all of these overpriced buds

[@wendym740]

I SECOND this. I avoided Tozo for a long time. But now I own a dozen pair. They are not only fantastic, sound, build, features, price - but they are RELIABLE!

[@ronontech]

@brianschooley3833 Completely understandable.

[@victorsanchez5991]

I was already able to compare the bowers and wilkins px8 and the focal ones, I definitely choose the px8, the focal ones are too big, they are not heavy, but the design is too bulky, the construction materials are not up to par with the px8, the only thing it has is metal bathys is for part of the headbands that you hold the cans, the part with the holes in the cans that is not metal at all as they say in most of the videos all of that is made of plastic when you touch the metal it feels cold in the bathys alone The parts already mentioned feel cold, the rest is all plastic, only the part of the logo is metal, I don't want to say that it is poorly made or of poor quantity, but for the excessive price it has, it should be better in terms of construction materials, ok now on. Lonque the quality of the sound really matters, I really prefer the signature of the px8, it has the most energy that is that rich but well positioned bass that hits you that makes you want to dance, the bathys don't give me that emotion, they invite me to be calm at home, relax, For the genre of music that I listen to, I like the flavor that the px8s leave me better, musical tastes are something very personal, there are people who prefer the focal ones, I actually didn't like them and tomorrow they are back where they came from, I will wait for your comparison but even if you say the opposite I will not change my mind and I am almost sure that you are going to choose the px8 over the bathys because you are a basshead and the px8 actually sounds much better

[@ronontech]

Thanks for sharing.
