UPDATED! Best Earbuds for Phone Calls (Over 100 Tested!)

[@pickyaudio]

Let me know what bud you think is the best overall! A lot of the samples were incredibly close especially in the last round so they are in order but a lot of them are equal in quality

[@labanladan6704]

Hello. I've been subscribed to you for some months and I'd just like to say... I love your content, great work and more grease to your elbow. The community appreciates you. I want to pick up my first pair of ANC earbuds, please which would you recommend between the CMF Buds Pro 2 and QCY Mellowbuds Pro?

[@kishanjumani4542]

Oneplus buds 3​@@labanladan6704

[@gustavozurita4525]

Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 , hands down the best for calls... Give it a try!!!

[@mujimusa]

You really need to test freebuds pro 3. It's in a different tier to all of them. It uses a bone conduction mic to hear what you are actually saying instead of a normal mic. It's better than 99% of premium office headsets as well - just to give you a reference.

[@yeyuan6273]

what is the longest battery duration you can get from earbus type(small one half open, open, in ear etc)? which one?

[@Ty-qj6ws]

Love this!!! So underrated topic my man. After going through so many sets its become mandatory that they have optimal call quality for practical daily use and at work environment. I love my status between pro but wifey can't stand their mic quality on the other end 😅

[@mohamedfadhelkaroui2431]

Why you don't add huawei freebuds pro 3 that are known for there call quality ?!

[@gustavozurita4525]

Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 are the best for sure

[@oilalalet3181]

Porque Huawei ganha de todos. Mas eles são de 2023. Não sei se ele escolheu apenas fones de 2024.

[@mfreddy22]

Amazing, thank you. Just got the Galaxy Buds3 Pro since I have a Samsung phone. Call quality is my #1 and seems good but these are way less comfortable than my buds pro from years back. Thinking of returning them and your video has me leaning towards the liberty or nothing. Price isn't a factor. I need the best.

[@Thefastlane425]

Same. Been a buds pro user for years. Traded in my buds pro 2 for the 3. Couldn't get them to stay in my ear WHATSOEVER. Ended up jumping to the Pixel Buds pro 2 and been happy

[@-2b764]

You should do more livestreams really helps out to get straight answers to questions!

[@maildasatan]

Thank you so much for doing so many earbud reviews. After watching your reviews I got both the CMF buds pro 2 and oneplus buds 3 during the Black Friday sale. Very happy with my purchases so far. Keep on rocking !!!

[@nonbeliever7667]

Which one is you daily driver after two weeks?

[@maildasatan]

@ they both have their pros and cons. The oneplus buds 3 sound much better than the CMF buds pro 2, with much brighter audio in the treble range. The CMF ones are slightly muffled and they don’t sound as vibrant as the one plus. On the flip side, the one plus have a problem wherein if I’m on a call and if I push the earbuds inside my ears a bit, a single touch ends the call. It isn’t supposed to do that, because the manual says you need to double tap to end calls. I’ve requested a replacement so let’s see. Also, for what it’s worth, for my ear canal at least, the CMF has a better fit and it doesn’t feel like it will come off. Maybe it’s just me, maybe if I use larger tips on the oneplus they might have a better fit, but I don’t use large tips because they hurt my ears. It’s worth noting that when I contacted oneplus support about the call issue, they claimed I had not purchased these from a verified seller, which I had (official one plus seller on Amazon), so it’s disappointing that their own support staff don’t recognize this as a valid purchase.

[@maildasatan]

@@nonbeliever7667that’s weird. I posted a reply and it got deleted.

[@maildasatan]

@ CMF buds pro 2 have a better fit but the sound quality of one plus buds 3 is better.

[@siamakmolavi4578]

Awesome. You are the ultimate go-to guru when I need to pick up a pair of earbuds

[@vasilikichaintini722]

Sooo needed this! I will be working more from home this year and need a good pair of buds to use : 1. While at home in a mostly quiet room and 2. At a coffee shop -for when I just cannot stay home anymore!-. I do conference calls all day..thanks for the video 😊

[@zepol01]

You do the best reviews on call quality on youtube!! Great work!

[@mr.casanova7145]

In your sheet beast studio plus No 1 for call but now you put liberty 4 pro so what is your last ranking

[@Jules-mp9bh]

Thoughts on best poduct if you want a combo of ANC and minmal noise interference when making calls (as caller)

[@mokisan]

One for anc please! Loved this video😊

[@rizuan.mahamad]

I really can't wait for JBL TOUR PRO 3 review

[@SibTiger33]

Could I suggest some changes for next time u do this . 1. Add text so let us know what settings u have on when running the tests . 2. Show the db measurements on screen. 3. Switch between ANC and transparency during a mic test This is pretty important as jabras did example have someone features and sometimes it causes issues with noise cancellation. Jabra also take a little bit of time for noise cancellation to kick in. Az80 have an extra feature called just my voice and u don't mention if u have that turned on or now. From the tests it seems u don't have it turned on. Anyway great job as usual . I always look forward to your content

[@learningartsandanimationsp443]

Or you could do your own channel review 😂😆

[@jamesbertramson8791]

Any idea how the JBL Tour Pro 3 compares to the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2? I've watched a bunch of your videos and was about to pull the trigger on the Jabras but can't find a good technical review, like you do, of the JBLs to finalize my decision! I work on a noisy boat so I always have engine noise and wind when trying to call family. ANC and call quality are my main concerns. The transmitter case is a good feature as well since I have a full day of flying to visit relatives!

[@Olive-h2i]

New to your channel as I try to decide which earphones I'd like for Christmas! Solid info and well done, thank you. It's funny how the Galaxy Buds3 give you a bit of an American accent!

[@NegyedMisi]

I'd love to see an expert like you update us on the recent status of LE Audio and AuraCast. I didn't know my S23+ can Auracast and that with today's tws buds you can use LE Audio. Unfortunately you lose multipoint connectivity and LDAC but LC3 is supposed to be better anyway. Or not?

[@_-Z-]

Thank you for another great one, Picky! 👍

[@nexatio]

Hey. I dont know if you can get your hands on the Beyerdynamic Amrion 300 but if you can i can higly recommend them to test.

[@SibTiger33]

Also are u using an iPhone for all tests? U should have that on screen too if possible .

[@ciri51]

Thank you so much for the detailed test

[@JoelMarkHarris]

I think you said this in another of your video but from what I gather about how you get "double the band width" if you pair a galaxy earbud with a galaxy phone, pixel phone with pixel buds is all b.s. marketing. Is that the case?

[@pickyaudio]

I have just tested those three buds and heard of other reviewers with the same experience.

[@SibTiger33]

Your galaxy buds 3 pro tests are odd. Seems like u have a faulty unit. Noise cancellation should be much much better than that

[@yeyuan6273]

what is the longest battery duration you can get from earbus type(small one half open, open, in ear etc)? which one?

[@bobbydazzler1780]

I use Bose Quiet Comfort ultras for over the ear and Apple AirPod 2 for bud convenience. Both can be worn for extended periods without any issues whatsoever. Both excel at what they do. I’ve recently bought the B&W Pi7s2s but they are going back unopened as I only got drawn in due to the 60% blow out sale. Even at a massively reduced price the Apple AirPod pros do their job so well I don’t need the disappointment of bulky uncomfortable buds that haven’t even got volume control. Who on Earth is in their development team they must be muppets.

[@josebarahona2732]

Do you have a vid with beats pro fit?

[@VidathD]

Will u review the new Sony Linkbuds fit?

[@subhashatluri8840]

Which would be most comfortable earbuds for side sleepers for sleeping at night ? (Prefrably if they have noise cancellation)

[@Sid-fi1mc]

I thought you gave aerofit 2 as the highest call quality in the last review video for open earbuds.

[@kkegoist]

Thank you! Your videos are helps a lot!

[@JocTillery]

What buds are Loudest with the strongest bass and excellent sound quality? I might go ahead pay full price for one plus pro3

[@shubhamverma8133]

Nothing dominated every category. I still use the ear 2's and they are still very solid. Thanks to your analysis i bought the right earbud.

[@AdekImphi]

Hi picky, last week i was planning to buy Nothing Ear because of your latest video on youtube. But yesterday, i bought Sony Linkbuds S because a seller on facebook sold it for just $100 USD. Do you think i made a mistake in choosing to buy Sony Linkbuds S instead of Nothing Ear? Can you make a video comparing both of them (Sony Linkbuds S VS Nothing Ear)? Thank You. Best Regards from Indonesia

[@davidwilson1531]

Hello picky audio I was wondering if you could help me. Like u I I like to listen to music and I like to gym. I am between two earbuds, the soundcore liberty 3 pro and soundcore liberty 4 nc. Which one should I get?

[@yamahass66]

Any new Beats comming out?

[@iakinthoschristodoulou8219]

Where are the openrock x open earbuds?

[@JaysKG]

Can you try the qcy crossky c30 in the future, to see a budget clip style open-ear, and compare it to the soundcore c40i and how far are they quality wise relative to price

[@Tarek-tm9jd]

Dedication top quality

[@antnv1]

thank you, great job

[@jazalfath5803]

bro can you try soundcore r50i nc?

[@yankokusu6182]

bro why u didnt rewiev b&o beo play ex ?

[@FamiliOfficeDotCom]

I have 3 earbuds : ✅ Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 ✅ Soundcore Liberty 4 NC ✅ Oppo Enco Buds 2

[@NegyedMisi]

It's a tough decision but I might replace my Freebuds Pro 3 by Pixelbuds Pro 2. I've received a refund for the Freebuds due battery issues. They are the best buds I've ever had and pretty much nothing beats them but I'm looking into something more future proof, like LE Audio. Can you switch the Freebuds Pro 3 to LE Audio Mode? I've always used them in sound priority mode not connectivity priority.

[@hugocintra3553]

I have Soundcore Liberty 4 NC too and I love it. I use them for all day ms teams calls. What do you think about Freebuds Pro 3? Best over Liberty?

[@M4DN3SK]

Hi, in my soundcore liberty 4 pro, the right side earbud is drained faster than the left side even when using a single earbud. Do you experience the same ?

[@BlackHawkPSU]

The AirPods Pro 2 didn't make it to the best overall list? What?! Heck I thought even the Beat Studio+ possibly could have made that list.

[@kurtiskeys483]

Hey how about a spot for best when eating. Since some of us wear earbuds when we eat i do at work on break when my jaw moves alot it coses them to fall out. Even the ones yoi have for best for work out fall out because chewing moves them around more then lifting and running.

[@Tildryn]

That's an interesting one, I assume the half-in-ears would generally perform better for that, and the open ones even moreso.

[@P4sta.]

you should review more higher end anc headphone

[@hamzasalah6557]

Hello I have a question I have one plus buds 3 ok? When I make a call with it in messenger call of 5 persons or 3 mic is bad I think it is a proplem in the earbuds but after some time my freind buy samsung buds fe and the same proplem my question here that ear buds over all not good in many people call beacuse ivae freind has apple earbuds that is is a premium and tell me same proplem however in basic calls mic is amazing and very goo sorry fol long comment and thank to a'y one answer ❤❤❤

[@vnunes]

How do they actually sound when you're not talking?Again and again I have issues with earbuds because the noise cancelling when I'm talking is quite ok, but as soon as I stop talking and I need to listen to someone else l, they complain that everything around me gets heightened. I've seen so many of theses tests but they all just test the sound blocking when they're talking.

[@takensteak4485]

Help, I have a Samsung phone should i get the galaxy buds 3 pro or the one plus buds pro 3

[@kingwooo5033]

If u have samsung devices u should get buds 3 pro i actually do have buds 3 pro they are amazing but they also a little uncomfortable for me

[@AbdulWajidCKcm]

Absolutely amazing, and that bloody Samsung!

[@01mememememe]

thansk again

[@wintersoldier743]

Finally!

[@Feastalisk]

Dang we early gang

[@mfreddy22]

Hey man with all die respect these reviews don't add up when I've called people. I don't know what app you're using but the only 2 that seem excellent are apple a Samsung flagship. Bought the Liberty 4 pro and everyone said we're bad. Not trying to discredit you and I'm sure no one will read this, but the galaxy Buds3 Pro and air pods pro 2 are the only options. Maybe try leaving a voicemail on another phone or having a friend record your conversation. Your apps recording this are not real life accurate.

[@rolins3279]

The best earbuds for phone calls in noisy and windy environments are the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 👑 Neck and neck in second place are the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro🥈 , followed by the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 🥉 In terms of open fit, the best are the Galaxy Buds 3 followed by, Huawei Freebuds 5, Nothing Stick and Airpod 4 ANC. The best ones between $30-$100 are the Qcy Ht08 Melobuds Pro and Qcy Ht05 followed by Realme Buds Air 5 Pro and OnePlus Buds Nord 3, OnePlus Buds 3 , CMF Buds Pro 2, Earfun Air S, Earfun Air 2 NC. Ps: this ranking is my personal experience, I have tested most of the earbuds presented in this video, and above all, unlike many, my 1st criterion for choosing earbuds is the quality of the microphones in crowded and windy environments, and the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 and Qcy Melobuds Pro Ht08 & Ht05 really stand out brilliantly in real use in the field. 🙏🏽

[@Nowayjosey]

Im an apple fanboy and own a pro 2 myself. There is NO WAY it performs that well on real situations.
