❗Make sure to check out our review of the NEW AirPods Pro 2: ruclips.net/video/OediK7SUp9U/видео.html
I just spent 2 days reading and watching every review on the internet and swear that somehow all of them contradict themselves..
Another youtuber put the Jabra 85 t as the best of all
What did you end up going with?
100%. I'm more lost before i started. Every time I see one that sounds great I go read reviews on Amazon and it's all negative. Wtf ppl get your sh*t together
People's ears are different
Hahaha I'm in the same boat right now. 8 videos. 8 different reviews. None are the same.
for me Happy Plugs should be included in your line up! it’s worth experimenting with the ear-tip sizes on offer, since the impact of their tuning can be significant. The default and smaller options offer a crisp, sharp tone that’s detailed but less bass happy, while a switch to a different type brings out more weight and ‘fullness’ across the frequency range.
Nicely done, gentlemen. Thanks very much for a great review.
I feel you guys arent testing as many buds as you should. Bose sport is too old. Now we got the B&O EQ, Soundcore Liberty 3 pro, Technics AZ60
I agree .... Not to mention the MTW3s.
I love the Technic's eah-az60!
Old school just works! 😅
So glad you rated the Bose Quiet Comfort 1 and 2 respectively. I was 1 of the "pre-order guys", and have been through the bugs and firmware updates. Now they are what I was expecting to begin with, extremely comfortable for 8 hours, incredible sound that you'd expect (including customization), and I think the noise canceling is better than you possibly but we can agree they're amazing. Only drawback is the durability is questionable. I've had to get replacements and am on my 3rd pair, thankfully Bose has excellent customer service and it was 2 or 3 days turnaround. Thanks for the review!!
Will the Bose work with Ipad?
You're right after 1 year of use, the fkn' battery last only 30 minutes, but is the best.
Question: I loved the bose soundsport free since they are the only earbuds ever to not hurt my ears. I want to get a new set of earbuds, I was thinking about the quite comfort just because NC would be nice when cutting the grass but I am planning on exercising and riding a bike with my earbuds in (subdivision not on a main road). Do the quiet comfort stay in well for exercise or is the sport the better option?
You guys make a great team. Your so much fun to watch. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers.
The good thing about most of these wireless earbuds is they have an app where you can customize the eq and get them sounding just how you like it.
I had to hunt a lot but recently found the Tozo NC2 earbuds and for less than $40 they are worth every penny. Lots of good bass, and decent sound blocking. I have large canals so had to get some foam tips to make it seal better but totally worth it.
I have been through so many, thinking surely this inexpensive pair would not work, I have the T1 and T6. I have SMALL ears , looking for a GOOD pair. 9 or 10? Any clue? I loved the Beats studio for the sound and had to send back cuz they would not stay in. I would appreciate your input. Thank you ✌
@@DeborahLong7777 Honestly? I'd recommend Skull candy w/ winged tips. They aren't the best sounding by any margin, but I have small ears as well and the DEFINITELY stay in for me and it really makes me feel comfortable going out and about
I bought 2 pairs of the Tozo NC2s. Bought them within a week of each other last January.
One pair stays w my Apple TV in my bedroom and I keep the other for my iPad usage. I agree w you on the sound. For the money they’re great.
However one pair started about 2 or so months back whistling a really high pitch when I put both of them in my ears. I would assume it’s feedback?
But it would happen about once a week then more frequently and got louder until I threw them away. The squealing hurt so bad and so sudden I couldn’t stand it.
Now I’m on my quest yet again to find a replacement.
Just bought the Beats Studio and am extremely disappointed. No bass to speak of speak of and the treble is ear piercing at times.
@@wlt3585 If your deaf Skullcady buds are great.
Really great revies of so many earbuds. Thanks.
Great job guys and I love this video. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for the video guys! I just wished that your audio wasn't so muddy. it's probably because either you aren't pointing the mics in the right direction or it's just something that a lil EQ would fix.
Hello guys and thank you for the all informations !!! One question,please : the best sound quality is ?! I only ask for listening music,bass and treble… !!! Thank you !
I enjoy You 2 Sooo much. U help educate me a lot!!!! THANKS!!!!! 😍
Nice review guys. I'd love to get your opinion on the Cleer Audio Ally Plus II's as well.
Hi, im very interested with this buds, does it support surround sound with netflix contents that support dolby atmos just like the AP pro? Thanks a lot for the help.
Thanks for helping me make up my mind on what to get. 👍🏾❤️🗽
I used mine for street vlogging on my channel around New York City and I like the noise cancellation effects.
I’ve tried Jebra elite 75 and it’s so uncomfortable on my left ear. I’m looking for ear buds that’s comfortable for long wear. Which one would be the the best?
Two thumbs up for Soundcore pro 3. Awesome!
After trying a ton of these, including the most expensive Sony, Apple, Sennheiser, Bose. I have to say the BOSE QC's are the best in sound quality, bass response, balanced tone, fitment, upgraded app, etc...
These BOSE QuiteComfort buds are the best out there IMO.
Just bought the Bose QC for 145€
@@NM-ev7pu Awesome!! I hope you are enjoying them?! Let me know.
IMO they are the best in sound quality.
@@JB54379 bro i have the Bose qc 35 ii for 2 years now and im really happy with 'em. Just recently decided to get an earbud for the outside chores and workin out. Now i am really vacillating between sony's,sennheiser's and bose qc. For me the only drawback for bose's is the size of the case and earbuds themselves. The concept of the earbuds is mostly based on the portability, but with this condition, is really gonna be annoying i feel like if i want to put 'em in my pocket. The earbuds themselves remind me of the old-fashion single earphones used to be seeing when i was a kid ! Lol. Plus with these being so sturdy and huge the charging is kinda disappointing for me and i don'r really know what to do...
Have you any tips or sth that settle me down to go for 'em? Or sony's regardless ?!
@@SoheilHab I do not know much about the Bose qc 35 ii earbuds.
I will say these Bose QC's are amazing. The size of the earbuds in your ear, they fit great and you really don't feel the size.
With the case. I always put it in my back pocket unless I was sitting down, then I would put it in my front pocket.
Either way, go with your gut feeling or try them all out at a store.
I personally think the BOSE QC's fit and sound better but that is just my personal opinion
Really? The tonal balance of the Sonys after messing with eq sounds much better imo. Maybe it’s cause of the memory foam. The Bose is a bit bass heavy and lacks treble when looking at the eq curve
Thanks for your video, what are your thoughts on the raycon earbuds?
Great vlog, I like the Sony XM4 myself.
Marc
I have the Sennheiser momentum true wireless 2 and the Momentum 3 and I am very happy with the sound quality… good video, thanks
Been curious about those! Gonna have to check them out!
Personal ear shape makes a big difference. I’m glad you both try these out. Which of you has the smaller or more sensitive auricles? I think brunette David, right? Sorry I don’t remember your last name.
What are the most bass heavy earbuds? I’ve tried the airpod pros the Sony wf-1000xm4s and Bose qc and was wondering what’s louder and have more bass since I like my music loud and bass heavy. I’ve been thinking about the liberty 3 pro the Jabra 85t or the mtw2, what do you think would be the best for bass?
Great overview - Looking forward to "Best overear wireless headphones 2022"
Thanks for making these vids and updating it.
Hello, what headphones do you recommend for running, cycling and using it every day that fits well and has very good sound for 240 dollars, beat fit pro, jayrbid vista 2 or some other, thank you very much
I have the Sennheiser CX Plus and they do have an EQ app where you calibrate the sound to your liking. Thinking these two were not aware of it. When you do that, they are amazing.
That is the problem with the reviews of these guys. They test the standard setting only and evaluate ! If they don’t like the setting they came with they get a not good in sound quality,
though they might have amazing sound when you use their equalizer options…
@@chrisg.6787 I have to agree. I got the sony c500 and it was ok. I was going to give it away but after using the app and trying it on tidal hifi I changed my mind.
Agreed. They did not test them probably. I disagree with everything they say.
@@chrisg.6787 The same argument could be made for home stereo speakers. If the sound quality of a particular loudspeaker isn't to your liking, then just equalize it, right? So what what's the point of all those reams and reams of loudspeaker reviews? The guys are testing the earbuds as-is to level the playing field, i.e. only the out-of-the-box sound quality is considered without any applied bass boost or equalization. Seems like the only fair way to me, especially since not all earbuds come with the ability to tweak their sound.
Our the beats fit pro can you used them individual while one is charging etc?
Hi, I was looking into buying wireless earbuds and I was wondering what wireless earbuds have the best mic quality for $100-$200 price range?
Did you guys do the galaxy ear buds? I just bought them for 140 on sale.
Have not opened them yet, so I'd love your input!!
Please review Soundcore liberty 3 pro.I have a hard time choosing soundcore LP3 pro or sony Xm4.Thanks in advance!
I went from headphones with an aux cable to the XM4s but they just don't seem quite loud enough. (Even with the settings on the app maxed out)
So I’m looking for an edc pair of earbuds that have ANC, transparency and are comfortable. I’ve tried AirPod pros and they were uncomfortable to me. I’ve tried the Bose QC and they were great but just that big case. I have the Xm3and they sounded good just a little bulky. I had the galaxy buds when I had a Samsung phone and I liked them but they don’t cut it with an iPhone. I feel like my front runners are the XM4s, the Bose QC, the beats fit pro even though I haven’t been the biggest fan of beats. I’m also interested in the liberty pro 3s. What’s are y’all’s thoughts or recommendations of what I should get?
Good video. I do wish the suggested retail price would have been included.
Wish you guys could do a Lower budget review of some earbud options. Like the Tozo NC2 which have pretty good reviews compared the 250.00 options in this video.
Nice Reviews And All Video Reviews So Great Loud And Clear Explanations...Please Review Wireless/Bluetooth Budget Earbuds Brands Please...
Have to get Soundcore lib 3 in there!!
🙏🙏 Thank you for your video! It helped me make a decision to change from my AirPods Pro (gave to my daughter after she lost hers) to the Bosie quiet comfort earbuds. I did go with the Bose quiet comfort II.
I was a Bose user until 2020 and I prefer not to be completely part of the Apple eco verse. I’m really happy other brands have comparable quality as Apple now.
After installing IOS 15.3 is there any settings I need to correct?
Do any of the 2022 earbuds offer a 30 second skip touch setting?
Hi Guys. Im Rick. I'm 71 years old, have the iPhone 6s Plus, I'm hard of hearing only on the right ear by about 70%. Which earbuds would you recommend for me. Planning to buy the iPhone 15 next year btw. Great to have you on RUclips. Thanks for the review.
Would like a review of the UE Fits... have you guys tested them?
Odd that you found the bass on the CX and CX Plus to be lacking. Personally I feel like there's more than enough of it. To an extent where I actually reduced it in their app.
Can you try the Klipsch T5 sport earbuds? I currently have Apple AirPods that hurt my ears.
App privacy report on ios 15.3 should be turned on or turned off? Thanks.
I agree with you guys about both sennheiser CX & CX plus, nothing special there. On the other hand i really believe that the momentum tws 2 earned themselves a spot on your list even tho they were released in 2020.
Tf the CX is incredible for it’s price. Ya’ll probably aren’t even using the eq
I'm a musician. I ended up going with Bose. When you put them in as you're supposed to, they definitely won't come out. Great sound quality. Not over bassed like some ear buds however, you can change that with the equalizer in the Bose app and make them sound like other earbuds if you prefer a different sound.
Excellent reviews guys. Often times people do reviews and they NEVER provide any real guidance. You guys definitely provide definitive reviews. Good Job!
Where is the information y r talking about apart fa the normal info, firstly price is the most important as y get what y pay for ,,,example pay $20 an expect the sound to be the same as the original 80s🎧 headphones
Gangster 😅
Can you please check out Oraimo freepods 3 headphones. They're amazing. I'd like to know what you think about it...
Yea!!! I just got the Gen 3. I’m HAPPY! I have the iPhone 12. Phone. &. Gen 2. Love those sooo I tried the fake Pro’s. 1 already tore up. Wasn’t really impressed.
Hey guys,
You should try and review the great Technics AZ-60
🤘🏻
Two problems with my AirPods Pro. Max 3:30 battery life. Fall out way too easily. Doesn’t matter what size ear adapters. My wife has same security problem where she stopped using them on walks
Thanks. How do the Bose earbuds noise cancelling compare to Bose headphone noise cancelling.
This is what I would like to know. I mainly want them for noise cancelling when I’m out as the headphones make me too hot when I’m walking so I only use them at home
Can we see a comparison of the over the ear type? Thanks!
thank you and well said. over the ear w/hook is my preference and that's why the PowerBeats Pro are fantastic.
Thank you for this. I have Sony MDRXB55AP Wired Extra Bass Earbud Headphones. They pump out 112dB/mW. Now I know I can’t compare a Wired to a Bluetooth. however do you know any Bluetooth speakers that has a high base and decibel sound similar to what I have. Thank you.
I wish you guys would do Galaxy buds 2 and buds series
Have you tried any of the Wyze brand products?
Did you guys download the respective apps from the different brands and play with the EQ settings for customizing a better sound? Or was this video just about the initial out of box experience?
So is Samsung superior or did I miss the review on them? Bc I loved my Samsung earbuds. The 1st gen buds that came out with the s10+ were good I feel hit or miss with some people who got them an then the gen 2 version was even better.
Which are the best budget priced eat buds/phones?
I am reading all the posts and in not finding anyone commenting on the Volume or the Loudness of each earned that was reviewed. I always take my Mpow T5's to the gym because they are the loudest and don't distort at Max volume. I'm looking to replace my Mpows, is there another that compares to the loudness of my MT5's?
What about status between pros?? How would you rate those?
great video, now time to save money thanks to you guys 👍🏻
What’s funny is I love the CX plus. Different ears I guess. I also have the Sonys and like them also.
Why is Soundcore not on there? So much better than a load you reviewed and I’m really picky and have given quite a few back
Hi guys please consider the different marshall earbuds in the market today. Please do a review on those earbuds.. thanks in advance have a great one!😊
What's a good one for metal? I need some that pound on the bass.
Y’all need to try the sound core liberty 3 pro
Sennheiser cx buds have a bass boost toggle inside the app to get deep bass
I know sound is subjective but I total disagree with you on the Sennheiser CX Plus. They have amazing bass, you just have to make sure it is in bass boost mode in the app and make sure you using the right ear bud tips for your ears. You can also play around with the EQ settings to get the sound you want.
Does any body know were the beats pro wired over the ear headphones rank among Sony , Bose , Skull Candy, audio technica?
Like my Sennheiser headphones. I will have to listen to any in ear buds to determine. Have Bose, Aftershokz, 🍏, and two other no names.
I’ve had the Bose Sport buds for about 3 years now and the battery life seems to be going down hill fast. But they have been great I just wish they had noise cancelation. Now I’m considering the quiet comfort model.
Just got my Airpod2, LOVE them ! They charge so quickly, I was amazed. Comfortable and secure on my ear.
Bruh why would you buy AirPods 2 in 2022?
@@Jcz74 lmao 😂
What are the best wireless headsets? Also, do you know why wireless headsets drop the connection via bluetooth?
What are the best noise cancelation overall? I have sensory issues (spectrum) every single noise hurts my soul.
The ANC is by far the best in the Bose quietcomfort earbuds, however the whole package is lacking. They are so big and the case is huge but offers very little charge. Wireless earbuds are for convenience and portability.
Why not include some of the other options? The B&O, Technics, M&D, Devialet, Klipsch.
FYI: For any Apple Music listeners who enjoy, "Lossless-CD Quality" sound, none of these wireless earbuds support lossless. At least not right now. If you want to take advantage of Lossless the most budget friendly option is to use the Apple Earbuds, purchase a $9 Apple lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter and enjoy the music. The adapter features a built-in DAC that supports up to 24/48. Just wanted to share because I learned that last year and it was a difficult lesson. Not even the AirPods Max support lossless music at this time
Bluetooth doesn’t support lossless audio in general
The Sony are closest tho because of LDAC which supports up to 990kpbs (lossless is 1411kpbs). Regular sbs supports only 564kpbs or smth around there.
Sony also has DSEE Extreme to upscale as much lossy audio as possible
Nice comparison but you didn’t discuss microphone quality for phone calls and from other reviews that did such a comparison with actual audio from each, I can say some were significantly inferior.
Can you check out the Master & Dynamic MW08 sport?
What I want know is: do both earbuds keep working on these brands or does one of them stop charging which seems to be a ubiquitous problem for earbuds
Do the Bose Sport in ear connect to Windows PC? Iv had x2 pairs of the previous wired version and they never use to. Was the worst thing ever - So inconvenient as I wanted to use them for meetings
Got some good choices up there. Sony XM4's are definitely big boy buds, but no list is complete without Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, Beoplay EQ, and B&W PI7's. I gotta give a shout out to LG's Tone Free FP9's too they definitely impressed and surprised me
yes this was indeed the worst review i have seen, also no real test of anc or the mics
I love my Soundcore buds
Had the fp9 great but they gave out after four months
The sennheiser momentums should be on the list
I have the soundcore Life P3’s as a back up set. They are excellent. The phone option is better than my Jabra 65T’s. No back ground noise Interferences on the soundcores.
which are the loudest and with the most bass ?
I had the Sony XM4’s & they were truly Dreadful. They are very chunky & uncomfortable, I experienced the white noise you mentioned from the other Sonys & they cut out the music if you cough, or sing or if there’s any background noise such as a radio or two-way.
The Jabra Elite 75t were a magnificent earbud, however after a few months the right bud stopped working.
Currently have a set of Mifo buds which are very comfortable & overall pretty good for the price.
which buds do you feel have tge best phone qualities
Great video, just shows the exact same exact earbuds will sound and feel different for different people
Here's an idea maybe try the UE Fits or Nuheara IQ Buds Max2 throw some Master and Dynamics MW08 I have been looking for a review with these sprinkled in and it doesn't exist
Do you have anything for xm5 ear buds
Master and dynamic MW 08 review those next time I have them and really like them.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 is listed in the description box but not reviewed ... why?
How did you like the JBL’s?
What about call quality on each of the models?
I wish there were more videos out for earbuds for small ears. My ears are tiny, I have a hard time finding buds that fit my ear. Most buds & tips are too big for me. I can’t really try any on without purchasing. I have airpod pros right now………they are big, even with smallest tips.
I have a deformed ear canal in one of my ears so I have the same problem. A lot of them fall out because they won't fit. 😔
There's a reviewer named CEONTHEMAKING that also has small ears. I watch his videos all the time as someone with small ears.
You guys should bring in your parens to do a review of these for >65 year-old ears. My Sennheiser full open air headphones from 25 years ago were good, but were a bit trebley. Now all I hear is the base!
How about using google pixel buds a series on iPhone? Would anyone recommend it?
After watching your earlier videos as well as others, I chose the Bose Sport. I am not a fan of Bose home speakers, but I love the Sport earbuds. I tried the sennheisser and didn’t like them at all and they were more than the Bose Sport. I also bought a pair of Edifier earbuds, I kept them too. They sound good, but placement of them makes a world of difference. For some cheap earbuds l like earfun minis. I bought them for someone for Christmas and then they dropped to $15,half price; then a week later I got them for $12. Nowhere near the sound quality, but for $15 the sound is great and they fit better than any other earbuds I’ve had. I still have my second gen EarPods, but they don’t stay in my ears and they sound just ok.
How were the Bose Sport so far?
@@MrChulinet very good, way better than anything else I’ve tried. I would have tried the Sony’s, but for $100 more….no. I have a $120 pair of Edifier’s, but I only wear them at home. They don’t stay in my ears as well as the Bose.
@@Lokahi-fo-life Thank you! I am shopping earbuds and these seem a great quality-price deal
