Thank you for watching as always! Hope your summer is going great. BTW, in case you missed it, here's my Amazon affiliate link for the 3ANC amzn.to/3Y6pE8X
For me, they fit great. They don't ever fall out, no matter what I'm doing and I can wear them for hours without any fatigue. What makes these remarkable is sound, which honestly trumps any other feature an earbud offer. You're right about real time equalization. But again, I don't buy earbuds for their app control. I just care about sound. And these are fantastic and sound better than even my Momentum TW3, which has way more app sophistication.
They are extreme annoyances when i use a hat / hoodie, and impossible to fit with a beanie and my earbuds are not disconnecting when being put into the charging case wich just started provoking a strange beeping sound from them.
@@TrTriTrippin There is no such thing as a perfect fit for every situation. And they don't auto-disconnect or pause the music when removed from your ears, which I agree needs to be addressed by Status Audio. I've gotten quite used to simply pausing the music before removing them from my ears. It's not really hard to do that. Any deficiency aside, they are still the best sounding earbuds I've yet owned and I've owned a lot. But I have multiple sets for different situations.
Have you tried denon pearl pros? I have a pair there from nuraphone denon bought the company I love there products the over ear were the best I've ever had the first dual driver over ears on the market the sound is insane and they made the pearl pro earbuds but the right side always falls out so bought some status to try out
“Feel free to comment below and I’ll probably ignore it” 😅 it possible I finally found a legit review guy who isn’t yet bought off? I just subscribed so I’m rooting for ya brother.
I responded to your comment, so you can unsubscribe now, lol! Thanks for your support, Ryan - there are still a few good honorable reviewers in the RUclips space. To help me grow, it'd be super awesome if you could re-share this channel with friends and family. Anyway, have a great weekend!
Aaron, I appreciate how you deep dive into the app. A clunky and sketchy app is my biggest gripe and I appreciate that you delve into this in your reviews which the majority of wireless earbud reviewers rarely do.
These are the best audio headphones I've bought. I did, already text customer support regarding the default voice; male. I asked if they can offer a female voice. They said they were working on that, Thank God. LoL. Great product. I don't feel they protrude and they are comfortable. I wear them all the time. Thanks Status.
I was not a fan of the look and concerned about the fit until I tried the OG version. I ended up sending them back to Amazon for the BT3ANC in black. Super comfy fit for the doorbell look 😂😂 That ANC, OG preset EQ, customization and ANC make these my top set currently. I do agree the app could be more seamless so hopefully an update fixed it. Thx for sharing your experience!!
Great work like always… I personally have owned these since their early release, and they are easily my favorite wireless earbuds, followed by the Senheiser MTW3. I haven’t had any issues with mine and I can easily recommend them. Just another example of how subjective wireless earbuds can be. I still enjoy the great work 💯💪👍
Spot on - a lot of these things are subjective, so it's best to test them out first. How much did you get your set for? Thanks for sharing, as always, sir!
@gearupaaron I actually got mine for the early bird price of $200 and I know $50 makes a big difference for many people, including myself. With the Between 3ANC being the same price as the Senheiser MTW3, I would take the Status (although I do enjoy the MTW3 as well). I love having so many good options to choose from today compared to couple years ago. The TWS market has came a long way in my opinion
Great review very well detailed -- for the ear tip test I'm assuming that has to do with taking them off then putting them back on -- the easiest way that I found to put on any ear tip is by turning the outer part inside out so that it looks like an elongated tube with the fatter part towards the end then I put my index finger in the hole and use my thumb to support the outside of the eartip then the process of fitting the tips on any earbud is near instant!
As far as the comfort goes I can work 8 hours woth one in and then workout for 2 hours woth both in and personally I dont experience discomfort. They are basically an extension of my ear. The only thing that could make it better is the new memory foam eartips they now offer for a little extra if you pirchase them.
Everyone ears are different. These are extremely comfortable. I was extremely shocked at your comment. Even the comfortable airpod pro 2 has hurt my ears on 2 occasions after several hours in my ear. These never have (and I slept with them). Some (not all) other issues are irrelevant to me. It's kinda nitpicking things a lot of people don't notice (the voice actor, etc). I would give them a 9/10
Are you a side sleeper? I’ve been eager to find headphones that support side sleeping, but the original AirPod design (the typical Apple headphone), are the only ones that have ever been semi comfortable while lying down
I love ❤ these between 3ANCs. The sound is great 👍 and it's very comfortable to wear with no fatigue so I bought 2 pairs. These 3ANCs are my go to earbuds👍👌
Complys are great - glad it works for you with the Between. Thanks for checking this video out, btw! I have new videos every week, so hope to have you back soon 😁
Aaron, I've been bombarded with ads from these guys so I'm curious about the 3ANC. I have the Sony WF1000 XM4 and I like them alot. I only use them for working out and they sound great but I'm always looking for a better sound experience. I mainly listen to rap, reggae, R&B, old school rock, genres that lean heavy into the bass. That being said, the Sonys don't reach the sub bass region. Do these? Do any wireless earbuds (I haven't come across any that do)? Are these enough of an upgrade that you would spend the money on these and ditch your Sonys?
@@mallorycainjr.1921 I did get them. they sound freaking amazing. they actually have a built-in subwoofer which reaches levels that even my son'ys don't. my cousin was so impressed that he got a pair as well. that being said, they don't fit well into the charging base so they don't charge sometimes and will randomly connect to my phone even when not in use. also, for some reason they don't sound as loud now as they initially did. super annoying and no explanation or apology from the company. I like the sound so much I just suffer through it. my cousin opted to get the Sony xm5 which he loves. so mixed review
Probably the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2. If you don't care for or need high def codecs but still want great sound, I'd add the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 into the mix.
@@gearupaaron thank you, just ordered the pi7s2 :) I tried the the qcII a while ago but they have too much white noise in anc mode for me, so I had to return them.
Hey Aaron, I have a severe hearing loss and typically wear hearing aid. But when I wear earbuds of course I cannot wear the hearing aid. I am looking for some earbuds that fit into smaller ears but more importantly have a high-volume because of my hearing loss. What would you recommend for my situation? Thanks, Kym
Hi Kym, thanks for commenting and your question. While it's hard to know exactly which earbuds good for small ears will actually work for you, I suggest you try Soundcore A40, Sony Linkbuds S, or perhaps Jabra 4 or 7 Active. And yes, they get pretty loud (which again, is subjective) 😁
The bass on these truly is impressive. I've been struggling with the EQ also, but I think they've updated it since this review. You now get real-time changes for the equalizer, albeit a bit slow. The EQ is only 8 bands, and their frequency choices seem a bit odd. It also appears like there is some sort of artifical adjustment cap, for lack of a better word. When moving the sluder up past a certain point, rather than boosting that particular frequency, it seems like it just cuts the others. Overall, a good sounding set of headphones, but takes some getting used to.
Audio compression is super weird, especially when you only have one channel to work with. Maybe some day we’ll see headphones with AI that disassembles the song into drums, guitar, bass etc, and boosts all their individual frequencies for best results. The future is still sorta exciting!
How do you even get the app for sound control? I like the sound of mine, but as I suspected, the shape of the buds do not play well with winter hats. I can't even use these while wearing a beanie.
i got these used and on sale for about 140, and theyre my favorte bluetooth earbuds ive owned so far. my only complaint is that sometimes when i tap them they while anc is on they make a fucked up bass-y noise, maybe thats just my pair lol. i also use poweramp equalizer instead of the built in app. i havent had any problems with the shape of them BUT sometimes with pushed a little but the edges kinda hurt also wish i could swap from anc on/off and not have to open the app
This review could be subtitled: Aaron Goes to Hollywood (remember Frankie Goes to Hollywood 😅)..Why? That splash test was nothing short of. Put out the Fire on the Stuntman splash intensity. AND those Status 3NC gave you a distinct, Predator shoulder mounted laser cannon vibe...I ain't messing with😅😊 you. Another Good Presentation. Thank You.
the tips are very difficult to put onto the buds because of the oval shape. I found that if turned the tips inside out and then push onto the bud it was easier (still difficult) to get them on. I can hear background noise when they are on. I have never niticed this with othe buds. Turning ANC on cancels the noise. I found a coupon for 150 from and ended up paying 99. I think for 99 they are more than worth it but paying 250... no sir. I am not that guy that will pay premium money for buds. I pay that for Over the Ear Headphones. Anyway I got them so that I could connect to laptop and cellphone at the same time. The Phone App needs a bit of work and the buds high frequecies sound a little harsh. You can tone it down but its not crystal clear. The low freqs come through well enough if you have a good seal. My wife complained that she could hear my buds when I am at 60% sound level so I am a bit dissappointed with that. Otherwise for 100 they will do.
You’re putting them in too far if they’re uncomfortable. The idea is to insert it with the charging connectors almost pointing straight backwards, just touch your earhole, then twist it down. Perfect seal and no pressure. I can have these in all day now I’ve stumbled upon this wee chestnut :)
Most absolutely not meant for side sleeping 😱. You'd probably want something with a gumdrop design like the Samsung Buds Pro or Jabra Elites, to name a few.
Know of anything Abt 150 USD that doesn't break the bank? I have the Liberty Air 2 Pros.. but ... The ANC is very well lackluster... When it's on, it does nothing actually.... Know anything of the PistonBuds Pro from 1More or the PistonBuds Pro Q30?
Something wrong with your ears then. :) I'm wearing them at work for 8 hours almost every day with ZERO discomfort. They are no more no less comfortable than Airpods pro I was using prior. And the battery lasts the whole 8 hours! I don't remember any other earbuds lasting so long since the Galaxy Buds Plus. And then there's the sound quality! My bar for sound quality were B&O EX and EQ for a long time. I can replace them now with the 3ANCs. I still think the B&Os are slightly better, but mines won't hold charge anymore. I wish there was a way to replace the batteries. I tried Denon PerL Pro for a couple of days. Found out they aren't any better soundwise, than the 3ANCs. Definitely not $200 dollars better. (I bought the 3ANCs on sale for around $130) So I sent them back. But of course, the search for a perfect pair is never ending, now I'm curious about the Technics AZ80. Maybe when they go on sale. ;)
You'll love the Technics. As for the 3ANC, I keep going back to it to see if my ears might somehow get used to it - maybe it's better now, but comfort is usually short-lived, lol.
I just got these today. I charged the case and then used them for about an hour. I put the earbuds back in but they do not disconnect from my Bluetooth on iPhone and the earbuds aren’t charging at all. I’ve reset it, recharged them. The lights are not flashing in the outside of the case to show charging and they are not. Also. The sultry duds voice isn’t there either on these. Wtf? Any pointers?? Edit; I already have the Between Pros and the do disconnect properly form Bluetooth and do flash two whites lights while charging. Help!!!
@@gearupaaron 😂 oh my God! That’s what I get for unpacking them in a dark room. Okay so the blue tape is gone. Still no flashing lights for showing charging however.
@@gearupaaron ah, yes, they did. However, they do not seem to blink or indicate in any way to show that they are charging. Idk if this is an issue or if that’s how the ANC are made. The Regular Inbetween Pro’s do blink. I can only see that they charged if I open the Status app now. Idk if that’s the way it is now. If it is I do not like that at all. Do you know either way? Cheers
Lol, it looks like the space Odyssey monolith, also i think of the things in Frankenstein's neck . Kinda courious to try with my own ears how good they sound.
Personally I find these wayyyy more comfortable & stable than say Soindcore Liberty 3s. I also have small ears though! Sure that plays a part. Also don’t personally find they stick out too much.
I looked past the weird shape hoping for some great sound but really struggled with it and didn’t find it a lot of fun - muddy and boomy. I’m coming from shure 215’s and upwards and I think that balance is what I’m looking for. I agree on the comfort too, never felt that they sat right in the ear. Tech, some weird stuff there too, they put such effort into the ‘power on’ vocals but nothing to indicate ‘ANC on’ etc? I maybe needed to update firmware but music kept playing as I put them back in the case, even through the closed case… aren’t they supposed to power off? Marketing is next level, fair play, but back to shures for me.
W/regards to them coming loose. It appears that due to the cantilever design needed for the three drivers and probably bigger heavier battery could be a major contributor. Then downward impact while running probably makes them a horrible running pair of buds. I would say that particularly test should be performed only with design specific earbuds. These would not be recommended for sleep either. Great review though.. especially the Quality sound description is spot on. Good job!
@gearupaaron Apologies, I stand corrected, I should not have said performing the running test only specifically designed ones. Its actually a good test to see if they loosen easily. Ironically, my 3ANC's just came in the mail about the same time to your reply. Just opened them, and they look like great quality. Picked them up for $139.00 a couple of weeks ago and just checked, and they're still the same price per the time of this reply, so for the money, I just might get another pair. Thanks for the review.
Constant disconnects from source regardless of distance (usually on my desk). Disconnects while on a call, disconnects before the next call, disconnects during music or the least amount of repositioning in your ear which due to their mass is often. The worst is their non existent service , they just ghost you wo reply. My units now have separated and now unusable well within warranty - they refuse to contact me
@augustcrocker2975 Dude, that bloody stinks. You definitely had a defective unit, but CS dragged it out enough to expire your warranty. Status, you reading this?
@@gearupaaron I can attest to this, as I've had my Between Pros since the Indiegogo campaign. The orientation was changed because it was a bit difficult to remove the buds from the case. Aaron's pair of BP3ANC is actually the revision.
I looked past the weird shape hoping for some great sound but really struggled with it and didn’t find it a lot of fun - muddy and boomy. I’m coming from the humble shure 215’s with the old BT2 and I think that balance is what I’m looking for. I agree on the comfort too, never felt that they sat right in the ear.

Just got mine today for $138.00! How can none of you YT reviewers mention the sound quality is as close of a headphones (my XM4) it can get? Sure ANC, call quality and other gimmicks are not offered but this sound man! The app is average granted but he’ll stick on the sound quality!
@@LuisOrtega-dy9lm I’d suggest also to get a free EQ app so that it boosts the volume and customer sound. Works perfect without but I’m using Musi free app which allows to listen to RUclips vids thus amplified and you can customize your preferred sounds. I ended up paying $6.00 for ads free usage. It’s a onetime $6.00 well worth
Sound quality used to be #1for me but not anymore. If I don't like the fit it's not worth keeping. Looking at you Soundpeats Opera5. Thank you for the review Aaron. 💯👍🇺🇸
Totally agree, nowadays I've made it a point to evaluate SQ and comfort together. Even if sound is the bestest in the universe, if it's not comfortable, it's adios.
Thank you for this, I guess ill be sticking with my Buds 2 pro. They may not be the best buds but they make it thru my work day and theyre extremely comfortable. They just work flawlessly with my S22 ultra as well. Ive tried LG and Klipsch, both were extremely disappointing in sound and build quality.
Depending on your budget, Technics has been on fire the past couple of years. I haven't had a chance to review them, but I wish they got more media exposure.
Recently purchased these, but in comparison to the Sony WF-1000XM4 they truly suck with sound quality and noise-cancellation. Very disappointed. A win for their marketing department though (along with fake reviews)
Thanks for sharing your experience, Daryl. Sometimes I struggle to see what other reviewers see with similar products like these (even ones I respect and/or have way bigger channels). I know it's mostly subjective, but some quantifiable and objective areas that ought to negate the positive things outright, but they don't.
I sadly agree Daryl, for many people using regular codec on streaming app, there’s just not a lot of benefit with the added drivers - everything was super muddy and slow
@@gearupaaron So far, so good; Liberty 4 NC has more battery life than my other wireless earbuds: Liberty 3 Pro, Liberty Air 2 Pro, Liberty Air 2, Jaybird X4. However, sound quality not as good as Liberty 3 Pro; and..the 4 NC has way better comfortable fit in my ears. Also, the noise canx has improved with the new 4 NC over the older Soundcore models. I was going to hold out for the Liberty 4 sale, but I really like my 4 NCs for now.
i did not like these at all... i wanted to so badly they fit me great actually. I thought the app was very convoluted and the sound left a lot to be desired tbh... the bass was just not there all the way.

I can hear background noise when they are on. I have never niticed this with othe buds. Turning ANC on cancels the noise. I found a coupon for 150 from and ended up paying 99. I think for 99 they are more than worth it but paying 250... no sir. I am not that guy that will pay premium money for buds. I pay that for Over the Ear Headphones. Anyway I got them so that I could connect to laptop and cellphone at the same time. The Phone App needs a bit of work and the buds high frequecies sound a little harsh. You can tone it down but its not crystal clear. The low freqs come through well enough if you have a good seal. My wife complained that she could hear my buds when I am at 60% sound level so I am a bit dissappointed with that. Otherwise for 100 they will do.
They are by far the only earbuds that actually stay in my ears. So I’m surprised you said they come off while you run. Maybe try the bigger ear tips
Thanks for sharing, Andres! 🤘 It just goes to show that ymmv. Historically in my reviews, earbuds this shape and size gave me comfort/fit problems.
You’re putting them in too far if they’re uncomfortable.
The idea is to insert it with the charging connectors almost pointing straight backwards, just touch your earhole, then twist it down. Perfect seal and no pressure.
I can have these in all day now I’ve stumbled upon this wee chestnut :)
Thanks for your comment! Just goes to show that comfort and fit are totally subjective and it's best to be able to test in person where possible.
Not all heroes wear capes
are these flat enough to be able to side sleep with them on? 😸 or would they still be uncomfortable in the ear?
Most absolutely not meant for side sleeping 😱. You'd probably want something with a gumdrop design like the Samsung Buds Pro or Jabra Elites, to name a few.
@@gearupaaron okay thank lmao 😭🤍
Know of anything Abt 150 USD that doesn't break the bank? I have the Liberty Air 2 Pros.. but ... The ANC is very well lackluster... When it's on, it does nothing actually.... Know anything of the PistonBuds Pro from 1More or the PistonBuds Pro Q30?

@@gearupaaron thanks man! Keep up the videos! Awesome!
personal favorite test song is "time traveler" knower
Something wrong with your ears then. :) I'm wearing them at work for 8 hours almost every day with ZERO discomfort. They are no more no less comfortable than Airpods pro I was using prior. And the battery lasts the whole 8 hours! I don't remember any other earbuds lasting so long since the Galaxy Buds Plus. And then there's the sound quality! My bar for sound quality were B&O EX and EQ for a long time. I can replace them now with the 3ANCs. I still think the B&Os are slightly better, but mines won't hold charge anymore. I wish there was a way to replace the batteries.
I tried Denon PerL Pro for a couple of days. Found out they aren't any better soundwise, than the 3ANCs. Definitely not $200 dollars better. (I bought the 3ANCs on sale for around $130) So I sent them back.
But of course, the search for a perfect pair is never ending, now I'm curious about the Technics AZ80. Maybe when they go on sale. ;)
You'll love the Technics. As for the 3ANC, I keep going back to it to see if my ears might somehow get used to it - maybe it's better now, but comfort is usually short-lived, lol.
I just got these today. I charged the case and then used them for about an hour. I put the earbuds back in but they do not disconnect from my Bluetooth on iPhone and the earbuds aren’t charging at all.
I’ve reset it, recharged them. The lights are not flashing in the outside of the case to show charging and they are not. Also. The sultry duds voice isn’t there either on these. Wtf?
Any pointers??
Edit; I already have the Between Pros and the do disconnect properly form Bluetooth and do flash two whites lights while charging.
Help!!!
I have to ask this: did you already remove any protective tape that they sometimes have over the earbuds charging points?
@@gearupaaron 😂 oh my God! That’s what I get for unpacking them in a dark room.
Okay so the blue tape is gone. Still no flashing lights for showing charging however.
@Soul_Watcher Your case has been charged up, I assume? 😁
@@gearupaaron ah, yes, they did. However, they do not seem to blink or indicate in any way to show that they are charging. Idk if this is an issue or if that’s how the ANC are made. The Regular Inbetween Pro’s do blink. I can only see that they charged if I open the Status app now. Idk if that’s the way it is now. If it is I do not like that at all. Do you know either way? Cheers
@Soul_Watcher The case should blink, so maybe a call to warranty might be needed.
Who makes your digital wall panels in the background ?
That would be Twinkly.
Lol, it looks like the space Odyssey monolith, also i think of the things in Frankenstein's neck . Kinda courious to try with my own ears how good they sound.
Do they sell this in SA?
Personally I find these wayyyy more comfortable & stable than say Soindcore Liberty 3s. I also have small ears though! Sure that plays a part. Also don’t personally find they stick out too much.
Thanks for your comment 🤙! It goes to show how fit and comfort is totally subjective and it's always best to test it for yourself where possible.
Agree!
I looked past the weird shape hoping for some great sound but really struggled with it and didn’t find it a lot of fun - muddy and boomy. I’m coming from shure 215’s and upwards and I think that balance is what I’m looking for.
I agree on the comfort too, never felt that they sat right in the ear.
Tech, some weird stuff there too, they put such effort into the ‘power on’ vocals but nothing to indicate ‘ANC on’ etc? I maybe needed to update firmware but music kept playing as I put them back in the case, even through the closed case… aren’t they supposed to power off?
Marketing is next level, fair play, but back to shures for me.
W/regards to them coming loose. It appears that due to the cantilever design needed for the three drivers and probably bigger heavier battery could be a major contributor. Then downward impact while running probably makes them a horrible running pair of buds. I would say that particularly test should be performed only with design specific earbuds. These would not be recommended for sleep either. Great review though.. especially the Quality sound description is spot on.
Good job!
Thanks for your comments! I do that test for pretty much any Bluetooth headset just for fun plus someone's bound to ask anyway, lol.
@gearupaaron Apologies, I stand corrected, I should not have said performing the running test only specifically designed ones. Its actually a good test to see if they loosen easily.
Ironically, my 3ANC's just came in the mail about the same time to your reply. Just opened them, and they look like great quality.
Picked them up for $139.00 a couple of weeks ago and just checked, and they're still the same price per the time of this reply, so for the money, I just might get another pair. Thanks for the review.
@@jw2877 Enjoy your new toy! And yes, they're well made, with some strong Sony XM vibes.
I think the voice recording is the founders lol
Voice recording?
for when you change anc/transparency I know a few others noted it sounded "sensual" it threw me off when i first heard it on mine too.
service-non existent, warranty-worthless. I feel totally ripped off
Bummer to hear. What happened to your unit?
Constant disconnects from source regardless of distance (usually on my desk). Disconnects while on a call, disconnects before the next call, disconnects during music or the least amount of repositioning in your ear which due to their mass is often. The worst is their non existent service , they just ghost you wo reply. My units now have separated and now unusable well within warranty - they refuse to contact me
@augustcrocker2975 Dude, that bloody stinks. You definitely had a defective unit, but CS dragged it out enough to expire your warranty. Status, you reading this?
I like your place, man! Where is this?
Thanks - it's Northern Maine 😁 It's a great place to be a tourist if you like the outdoors (and seafood).
@@gearupaaron Amazing scenery!
@rayayamazaki1101 Thanks!
Please review the Denon Perl Pro! Compare if possible!
Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
my first view of your videos. i liked this review. i recently received mine and i have to say you hit the annoying app clicks perfectly.
Btw you now have the older version of the 3ANC’s you can tell by the orientation of the ear buds in the case you had in video.
In the previous gen the eartips point to the rear. Thanks for watching, Thomas!
@@gearupaaron I can attest to this, as I've had my Between Pros since the Indiegogo campaign. The orientation was changed because it was a bit difficult to remove the buds from the case. Aaron's pair of BP3ANC is actually the revision.
Thanks for clarifying! 🤘
I looked past the weird shape hoping for some great sound but really struggled with it and didn’t find it a lot of fun - muddy and boomy. I’m coming from the humble shure 215’s with the old BT2 and I think that balance is what I’m looking for.
I agree on the comfort too, never felt that they sat right in the ear.

Just got mine today for $138.00! How can none of you YT reviewers mention the sound quality is as close of a headphones (my XM4) it can get? Sure ANC, call quality and other gimmicks are not offered but this sound man! The app is average granted but he’ll stick on the sound quality!
That's a fantastic deal! I saw it advertised the other day and I was, like, whaa--!! Enjoy your new toy!
I got xm4 and just ordered these status. You think sound will be just as good as xm4?
@@LuisOrtega-dy9lm to me and the earbuds form factor it’s to closest yet. Now don’t expect the exact same but again great enough for a pair of earbuds
@@LuisOrtega-dy9lm I’d suggest also to get a free EQ app so that it boosts the volume and customer sound. Works perfect without but I’m using Musi free app which allows to listen to RUclips vids thus amplified and you can customize your preferred sounds. I ended up paying $6.00 for ads free usage. It’s a onetime $6.00 well worth
Very informative review… though you look a little bit like Shang-Chi… pretty cool.
That's a first, lol... usually I get called Brandon Lee 😂
Sound quality used to be #1for me but not anymore. If I don't like the fit it's not worth keeping. Looking at you Soundpeats Opera5. Thank you for the review Aaron. 💯👍🇺🇸
Totally agree, nowadays I've made it a point to evaluate SQ and comfort together. Even if sound is the bestest in the universe, if it's not comfortable, it's adios.
Opera not it either
Thank you for this, I guess ill be sticking with my Buds 2 pro. They may not be the best buds but they make it thru my work day and theyre extremely comfortable. They just work flawlessly with my S22 ultra as well. Ive tried LG and Klipsch, both were extremely disappointing in sound and build quality.
Depending on your budget, Technics has been on fire the past couple of years. I haven't had a chance to review them, but I wish they got more media exposure.
Who else is watching this review using their between 3 anc? ✋🏽
👍💯
My sm is full of with their ads, I love bass, bust this review cooled me down. Esp with the long term discomfort.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm surprised they still have ad campaigns going on 😝
Recently purchased these, but in comparison to the Sony WF-1000XM4 they truly suck with sound quality and noise-cancellation.
Very disappointed.
A win for their marketing department though (along with fake reviews)
Thanks for sharing your experience, Daryl. Sometimes I struggle to see what other reviewers see with similar products like these (even ones I respect and/or have way bigger channels). I know it's mostly subjective, but some quantifiable and objective areas that ought to negate the positive things outright, but they don't.
I sadly agree Daryl, for many people using regular codec on streaming app, there’s just not a lot of benefit with the added drivers - everything was super muddy and slow
So the xm4 is better?
Wish i watched this b4 i got them.
Anyone else have bad sound leakage?
Dude, if you can’t get the eartips on it may be time to specialize further. AirPods 3 clones or wired flatheads maybe? 😁
Lol, yeah. Have I also told you that I can't open medicine bottle caps?
Bone not onyx.
Thanks for the review. However, I think I'll stay with my Soundcore Libertyn3 Pro and 4 NC for now...
How are you liking your 4 NCs so far?
@@gearupaaron So far, so good; Liberty 4 NC has more battery life than my other wireless earbuds: Liberty 3 Pro, Liberty Air 2 Pro, Liberty Air 2, Jaybird X4. However, sound quality not as good as Liberty 3 Pro; and..the 4 NC has way better comfortable fit in my ears. Also, the noise canx has improved with the new 4 NC over the older Soundcore models. I was going to hold out for the Liberty 4 sale, but I really like my 4 NCs for now.
And then of course let's not forget that Soundcore isn't done with new models this year, lol. It never stops! 😂
i did not like these at all... i wanted to so badly they fit me great actually. I thought the app was very convoluted and the sound left a lot to be desired tbh... the bass was just not there all the way.
Yeah, these buds seem to have its equal number of fans and detractors.
Y’all are crazy, it’s has the best sound. Loudest and clearest buds around
What would you recommend instead?
What a baby you are!
Indeed 😁
I cant stand the guys voice too. Power on power off is annoying. Hope they change that lol
😜🤣
Sorry dude, was enjoying the view but getting motion sickness watching it … Had to stop before the end … 🤢
The outdoor part? You should've been there BEFORE I got the action cam, lol
@@gearupaaron haha - yeah, when you were near the road testing near the traffic ... for some reason you kept spinning around - well it felt like it anyway ... :😄
The design of these earbuds is horrible in my opinion.
It's large and a couple of gens behind, I think.
Trash
The video or the device?
