Is the mic test of the Skullcandy Indy Evos real? It almost sounds like her main camera/shotgun mic. Please Becca, confirm that. Another great video! You are the best!!!
Maybe you know the brand, I purchased the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 and have 0 regrets. They have enough gesture control and can be changed if needed with the app. Has good soundstage, which can also be changed within the app, there are a lot of presets for the equalizer and you can also have your own, it also has a feature where it makes your own preset. Last but not least it has wireless charging. They're normally $99 but it goes on sale very often and you can grab them for $80.
My left 1+Buds (not Z) fell into a bowl full of oil for over 5 mins... I washed it under tap water left it out of the case overnight and it's been over 15 days and it works just as before! Works flawlessly! I could've never imagined it's gonna survive!
For myself, I would have to say that the JLab earbuds would be more convenient for someone who travels simply because the charging cable is built into the case so one wouldn't have to remember to bring the charging cable when traveling.
I've always liked that about them. I bought the jlab epic air anc got them on sale. the definitive factor for me was the controls. They sounds good and are pretty loud imo, and I literally use them all day, it seems like that take forever to run out of battery
You can actually get a cheaper version of the JLab Epic Air ANC (yes that’s the full name) in the form of JLab JBuds Executive, and if you really wanna get cheaper you can get gaming version.
I think it is worth also looking at the sub $50 noname earbuds too. There's some pretty great value and good quality ones in the $25 - $50 range. As you point out, they are effectively a disposable item, so even $100 is a lot to spend.
I love her reviews because 90% of the time I count on them for work related phone calls and I absolutely need the other person to hear me as clearly as possible. Most reviewers focus on the sound quality as it relates to listening to music. I need them for phone calls. Please don't apologize on using them for phone calls. A lot of us need these types of reviews because we have a million reviewers already focusing on music listening.
I think you should have also considered Soundcore Liberty Air 2. I found them pretty great. Has decent sound quality, great call quality, wireless charger and good battery backup.
Been using my buds z for about 2 weeks now and man does it sound flawless for what it's worth. It pairs seamlessly with my Note 10+ as if it were a galaxy product. Hassle free, sounds great out of the box, mic sounds clear enough, and cheap. Highly recommended👌
Been rocking the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2s around the clock for the last year. Fantastic sound, good battery life and fit, wireless charging case. Minimal controls but other than that they are spectacular.
I lost my old RUclips account so I decided to go open a new one. Plz *GOD* will bless those who check out my new RUclips channel and support me thanks 🥰🥰🥰
@@pedrosantosjr I feel battery life has taken a slight hit. Earlier I was getting 5h12m of screen on time, now it's around 4h30m. Now it can also be due to the fact that during CoVID my phone usage has increased. But still, the fast charger makes up for that !
I've owned a pair of JLabs Jbuds Air for over a year and a half now and they've been absolutely amazing, the value is crazy considering they cost about $30-$40 at the time. I've never had any of the more expensive ones like Airpods, but I've never felt the need either, especially if the standard earpods quality is much similar. Also, I find the usb A cable built in a good selling point for me, my Jbuds air also have it and it makes it so easy to charge, just unplug my smartphone cable and plug the case directly in to the adapter, also makes it really easy if you forget to charge it and find someone with a brick or a powerbank on the go.
Skullcandy really delivers when it comes to sound quality. Speaking personally skullcandy has never disappointed me. I recently bought Indy fuel and they’re awesome. Happy with my purchase!! Skullcandy rocks!!!!
I bought a pair of Soundcore liberty air 2 earbuds about 6 months ago, and the battery degradation is crippling (from 6 hours to under 3). I am going to stay away from wireless earbuds and go back to wired.
People are sleeping on QCY! They had Bluetooth, TWS earbuds before they were cool. I got my first wireless earbuds with them back in 2015 for a mere $10 and they sounded perfect! They lasted until 2018, which is a good enough term. Haven't checked on them recently. Wonder what they're upto.
Just bought Fiil T1XS, can get them under 50usd and they sound amazing. Another option would've been lypertek tevi but I'm quite happy with my purchase.
I love how fantastic the theme of this video is, not everyone can spend over £100 on headphones. Great to see this content and who doesn't love a Becca Verge vid ☺️
I picked up Soundpeats True Engine 3 SE for $45 with Amazon Prime and loving them so far. They have dual drivers so the audio is nice and loud. They also look really really good and I love the case. Only complaint is that the touch controls aren't the best. But really incredible value with really amazing sound quality.
@@DoNotWorryPodcast hi, thanks for the reply. How is the Bass. I just want loud and clear music with enough bass. I have skullcandy riff wireless over the ear headphones. At least the sound is loud enough like riff ?
The best video on ear buds. We need an updated version on this please.!! Again agree with Indy Evo being best for control and snug fit for workouts as well.
Becca is back! Love the grab and go test after you went through the first round of listening. Always brings a smile with your reviews. You keep it down to earth about how avg people use things and don’t get into the weeds like us nerds are use to seeing (>.> Marques).
Which of these would you recommend for call quality? I’ve found that budget buds can have a real problem with letting in ambient noise and this would probably be a deal breaker for me.
Do you think you can let me know what you think of them? I've been in the market for some wireless earbuds but can't decide between the Buds Z and Bullets Wireless Z.
@@ZapFlashD Becca just did a review on earbuds, which is above these comments. I know what Nemo thinks is pretty important, but do you trust him more than what Becca just put in the video?
Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 have been great. USB C charging, great sound, 10 charges, and tons of different ear tips and wings to swap around and find a perfect fit. They've become my favorite sound company lately.
Great, I needed a review that was down to earth and more useful for a regular consumer rather than people who are comparing $200 vs $250 and say $50 ones are terrible.
my first earbuds was soundpeats truefree, really cheap but has a great soundquality but keep falling out my ears. Now i'm using buds live and it's goood, fit in my ears so well, can wear it for hours without get any pain, and the sound is great. so happy.
I actually came for thoughts on the JBL buds, so a little disappointing that they weren't mentioned much except for the mic test. But, that obviously shows that they weren't worth mentioning. Great video overall though! Really like your style!
Watching this with my oneplus buds z. The buds is simple and straightforward. One thing I like about it is the ease of use with my OP 7T Pro and sits comfortably to my ears.
First off, excellent review. I would have loved an opinion on Sony's WF-XB700 (Around $60 as of writing). They only have IPX4 compared to IPX55 for the OnePlus buds, but I wonder if the "extra bass" claimed by Sony holds up.
What about Raycon wireless earbuds?There newest model, the Everyday e25’s come in a variety of cool colors, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, and a snug noise isolating fit.
would love to see some no silicon/ foam recommendations. unfortunately while my left ear is "normal" my right ear cant keep any silicon/foam tips in without fatigue
I'm surprised a lot of budget (but known) brands aren't here.. Anker Soundcore, Aukey, mpow, taotronics have crazy budget options and have been around long enough to prove their customer support.
Why not compare to like the Galaxy Buds that can be found for well under the $100 mark and are completely capable. Not coming at you for anything just curious why these weren't considered?
Tried the Skullcandy Indy Evo and they have some serious pairing issues. Basically no matter how well you follow their instructions the left ear always goes in and out. And I'm not the only one, for some it's the right. Do a quick google search and you'll see what I mean.
Hi, I don’t Know anything about earbuds, I have an iPhone SE I mostly listens podcasts (the vergecast) and make phone calls, the beats flex have the w1 chip that will be a huge bonus for me. Are the beats flex better than the earphones that come with the iPhone??
I got the oneplus buds z and although they sound fantastic and have a great price tag, after one year of use, battery life has gone downhill. Can’t use them for one hour straight. Now I’m looking or a new pair of earbuds.

Tozo T12. Yes, I'd never heard of them either, but good sound, wireless charging case, percentage battery life indicator, and $36 on Amazon right now. 👍
"How infectiously happy can you be in a gadget review?"
Becca: "Yes"
Becca's relentless positivity is good to have. :)
Becca, It is delightful to listen to your reviews. They are done in a tasteful and humble way. Thank you!
tbh, the 40$ 1more pistonbuds had the best mic
💯🔥 they did, way to good for a wireless earbuds. I wish she would have spoke about them
The 1+ were the worst in terms of mic
Is the mic test of the Skullcandy Indy Evos real? It almost sounds like her main camera/shotgun mic.
Please Becca, confirm that.
Another great video! You are the best!!!
You need to get better speakers
I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@babermac are you using your phone speakers? There's a large difference between the earbuds and the shotgun mic.

A little disappointed that the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 isn’t featured on this list, it’s an awesome package for the price
Well, the JLabs are also $99, so it seems that wasn’t the reason not to feature the Anker ones.
