UPDATE: The Jabra Elite 8 Active and Elite 10 just received an update that allows you to turn off the automatic wind noise reduction. Woo!

[@MrgLoRybLue]

Probs to you my man for coming back a 3 months later and providing and update. An update video test with these earbuds?

[@4fgaming925]

Can you make a video on buds 3 vs pro 2

[@zerofrictioncycling992]

i need wind noise off. I bought for cycling training and they are unusable. even with ANC on, it is like i am riding in a hurricane. I cant see any settings to help. I have taped the mic closed, and its improved, now im just cycling in a force 10 gale - still unusable. The cheaper mifo 5 they are replacing were way way better re wind noise (they were useable!).

​@pickyaudio😊

[@PUT_N_WRK]

EXCELLENT REVIEW MY GUY! this format is exactly how it's done and how it should be! I would actually love it if you did this quarterly or as important new buds trickled out to keep relevant updates.

[@pickyaudio]

Thank you!

[@TNT_1398]

I love that you listed the specs on the side - majority of the reviews don't have that and I have to create my own excel to list it all. Wireless earbuds ain't cheap so gotta make sure I get the right one

[@kevindiamant415]

This video is gold for us consumers. To have such a comprehensive guide from a neutral source is amazing! Thanks for making it!

[@smb9921]

Thank you, Picky! Really appreciate how you really get into the details even of the Budget TWS.

[@DacodaCourtney]

Love the video, this massive list is easily my favorite video of yours so far can’t wait to see next years! Also sad to see the JBL Live Pro 2s didn’t make any of the lists; I was going to get a pair on sale but I gotta say now I’m worried especially because your videos are so in depth and you know you’re stuff.

[@edmundgil6008]

Loved this HUGE review bro. I am embarrassed to admit I have way too many of these earbuds… on the other hand, it was nice to see I made good choices thanks to you and others! Honestly, I find myself reaching for my cheap Free 2 Classics, over my Momentum 3s, and several other notables. The case is slim, the sound and battery life are good too. Hon. Mentions: Oneplus Pro 2, the Donner Dobuds One, and Soundpeats Engine 4. Thanks bro!

[@pickyaudio]

haha the TWS addiction is real. Thanks for watching!

[@sicebim1]

It's this that makes me wonder if it's worth shelling out $350 or more for the Denon Pearl Pros or the B&O Exs or the Devialet Gemini 2s when 90% of the time I'm reaching for my Liberty 4s. I currently have the Bose QC2, 1More Evo, Liberty 4, Liberty 3 Pro and a number of other good sound budget tws. 🤔

[@notcyazio8667]

Great video thx for your effort. Just have a question, do you recommend the hakii time pro over the qcy ht05 ?

[@dancerbabe02]

Thank you for this!! As a small ear workout person that loves BASS I’ll be trying the Sport Core x10 thanks to your recommendation!

[@Nube7202]

Thanks a ton, picked up the Bose ultra comfort for daily use and gym. Absolutely love em

[@rolins3279]

I largely agree with your ranking, especially the positioning of the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC and Qcy Ht05 Melobuds.

[@btam6331]

Excellent video. Have you tried the hifiman svannar? How is it compared to the Denon perL pro in terms of sound quality?

[@schmitzvi]

We appreciate the effort you put into your work! Fantastic review.

[@VLADICA94KG]

Thanks for all the work you did to make this! I really appreciate it. I am just curious about Sony Linkbuds S. I have them as well but I am completely disappointed by the microphone quality. As soon as I start the call, they immediately go into ambient mode and I can't even speak due to amount of outside sound I hear. Do you have the same issue? I also have soundcore earbuds and they don't switch to other mode when I have calls, hence I don't see any difference there. Could you please share your opinion on this? Thanks

[@izcondoralexander]

Does gaming mode only accessible via apps? or can be activate using earbuds only like double tap or something

[@iPlayOnSpica]

Really love how my DENON PerL Pros measured my ears and decided they were extra sensitive to high trebles and toned them down for me. I kept my EQ completely neutral otherwise, and the clarity is unreal. Now I know why I was reluctant to agree with other audiophile KZbinrs on why their setups seemed the best for my budget (I also listen with Hifiman Sundaras, but I'm thinking of a way to reduce trebles with minimal $$ and minimal use of EQ).

[@r0ck123]

Great review Picky! I have been following your channel for a while but i just smashed the subscribed button after this video. After having listened to some of these ear buds myself personally i think i tend agree with most of your opinions of their sound quality and features. Would be great if you could review the Devialet Gemini IIs (which I think has the best sound quality I've ever heard personally), bower wilkins pi7 s2, audio technica twx9, Technics AZ60m2 and AZ80. Keep up the great work.

[@larrysabangan7480]

hey bro. just wanna ask, what spinfit works best on Soundcore A20i?

[@isoextreme]

Liberty pro nc be ok to use for workouts ? Or would they fallout ? Im also samsung android user would i have to go with samsung buds pro 2 or will liberty or sess momentum or other top ones work good too?

[@AndrewUKLondon]

Thanks for your videos, great depth and breadth. I'm happily using apple air pods 2 and Earfun Air pro 3. They give me a handy mix across devices. And also use Shure bluetooth earhooks for absolutely impossible to shake free, even upside down - and works with any mmcx earbuds including Shure, 7hz Timeless and more. And when aptx lossless comes to more devices I won't need to replace my earbuds, just the eat hook stems (and means I can use the earbuds on wired - 3.5mm, 4.4mm, lightning, usb C).

[@davidmmuench]

Phenomenal video! For me personally I like the Soundcore A20i over Soundpeats Free2 Classic. The don't feel as chunky, app support, & better sound. The only downside is Soundcore's case durability. The magnet holding the lid closed already came out after a few months. Also, I'd like to see a category for us "Loud Crowd": Loudest buds. I have some hearing loss and need buds that scream. Thanks again James!

[@kirkvj8330]

Highly agreed. For me one of thte factors in buying a bud is loudness in volume even having healthy hearing😅

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks David! Noted 👍

[@zlormjr6259]

are the edifier tws1 pro 2 good for excercising?

[@somber087]

Soundcore products are a steal. They're so good for their price

[@TechEtrix]

Thank you for the truly impressive comparison, haven't yet seen such a comprehensive TWS earbuds review. The only ones I found missing (and sadly the ones I am currently looking into) are the Hifiman Svarna Wireless (or the LE version if you do not require LDAC). I'd love hearing your opinion on those. Is there by any chance a review coming up on those?

[@themydisplayname]

Please help! I'm currently on my second pair of Momentum TW 3, which now has broken down. Would you guys go with the Jabra elite 10 or risk more QC problems with the Sennheiser's?

[@thienngo6222]

Thank you, this is super helpful. Can’t imagine the effort was put into this video.❤

[@DjelaliAbdelkader]

Hello , just discovered your channel and it's amazing , you motivated me to go to gym too :D , i just ordered a TWS that i see missin from the list and maybe it's because it's newer than the video ? the Soundpeats AIR 4 PRO , will it beat the QCY in the budget category ?

[@RetroKid]

dude...thanks for this. great compilation or earbuds, with relevant information and great format for ranking. the only problem is that before this video, my plan was to get the Beoplay EX and call it quits on the habit...but now I think i need the Denon Perl Pros. damnit.

[@pickyaudio]

No worries. Haha it never ends

So handy getting all this advice , and I've made purchases from Aaron's recommendations that I'm very happy with . Let's hope you continue growing in subs and success . Thanks big fella 😁👍

[@Lil-Britches]

Spin fit fits the soundcore 2 anc? Cause they dont have replacements if you loose them.

[@Zchlowder]

I’ve always been following your recommendations, and grabbed many of the earbuds you recommend. Last month I dare to try something different, off the radar. Can you name a bud has the smallest case, great 42db noise cancelling, auto wind mode, clean transparent, all customizable touch controls, 10 eq band from 31Hz bass? The bass can really shake my head down to my stomach. The feeling of sitting in a high -end, speaker testing room. The sound makes me forget my MTW3 with fraction of the price. Please please try the Fiil CC Pro 2. I really want to hear your comments.

[@aliosman5041]

Thanks Picky great vid What is your opinion on which is overall better liberty 4 nc or liberty 3 pro as they are the same price at my country and the other earbuds aren't sold here

[@Brandoneh91]

So I hope someone could help with a question I can’t find an answer to. How do the ankerlife a3i stack up in terms of noise canceling compared to the Liberty 4 nc? I wanna upgrade because the a3i aren’t doing a great job at noise canceling things at my job. Also which noise cancels better, the Liberty 4 nc or Sony link bud S?

A quick question? I want to use earbuds mostly when I travel as always commute with public transport and walk around. I tend to sweat a lot. I am considering whether to pick soundcore sport x10 or soundcore liberty 4 NC. Which one would you recommend me or any other alternative around that budget.BTW great video and thanks for the hard work🙏🏻.

Thanks so much for this❤️I do love my sennis MTW3, love everything including the style, touch control and full customization, multi points, especially its sound quality. However, recently I do encounter some connectivity issues like my right earbud can’t charge or function at all. Maybe it’s just mine, but it’s still my favorite.

[@ep2223]

That's been a common problem with MTW3's. I have the Plus's but have been holding back in the MTW3 due to that problem. Sorry you got a bad set!

[@DimaKorzhov]

Hello. Please tell me which tws headphones to choose that are reliable and durable and, of course, have the best possible sound and microphone quality for your money. Now I have Redmi AirDots that are more than 4.5 years old and now they stop connecting to the phone more and more often. I'm considering the JBL Wave Flex (reliability and quality in my opinion), but maybe I should look at something else and better for the same price (something like the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS)? I will be grateful for the answer.

[@pizzadude007]

At the moment both sennheiser tws momentum 3 and sony linkbuds s are on sale, the sennheiser being about 20 USD more expensive at around 150 USD in my currency, are they worth the extra money or should I save some change and get the linkbuds? I mostly care about sound quality, ANC and comfort, in that order.

Moondrop Space Travel was something SO unpredictably amazing. Something you'd never thought possible! The sound quality and ANC was something I never thought was even possible for its crazy cheap price range. It completely destroyed all of its price level competitors. MAN!!! If they can keep on doing it on an entry-level price point, midrange and high-end earbud brands better think of something really innovative.

So, the big question: Linkbuds S for half the price? 😀
