Glad to see the Dobuds one get a honourable mention. I had never even heard of the company Donner when I saw Gamesky review the Dobuds One. I bought them based on the review and I am very happy with the purchase. They're small enough to fit comfortably in my ear, they sound pretty good with solid base (even when using just one earbud). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Earfun free pro 2 most underrated earbuds in the Market. They can be adjusted to the resonance frequency of your own ear through an app and instructions from Oluv's Gadgets Reviews, which costs a little money. Once this is done, put any other headphones in your pocket. This shows that most codecs don't play a role. But even without adjustment, the EarFun free pro 2 sound surprisingly good, especially for the price of 59 euros.
Good list. I considered the Opera 5 until I tried the OG Status Between Pro, just to return and upgrade to the Status Between 3 ANC a day later. I still don't care for the design, but them triple drivers and comfort level can't be denied. Sound is next level for sure and the ability to create custom EQs makes them elite!
my issue with the Between3 ANC (I own them) is their lack of an "audiophile" CODEC. The Opera 5 has triple drivers AND LDAC. I believe the ONLY earbud that has both.
hmm... they both have triple drivers. is Opera 05 with LDAC is better than between 3anc? and is the 3anc worth double the price of the opera 05? what do you think guys?
@CoolitzX My recommendation is wait to see if the price will drop on the BT3ANC if you can. I am curious to try the Opera 5 but looks like they would stick out by a mile.
I have Soundcore Liberty 3 Pros and LOVE them. I've had them for 2 years and they are getting a little worn so I'm looking for my next pair in that price range or a bit higher. The dual driver along with the HearID customization feature was a game changer for me. I have hearing loss in one ear and the HearID feature provides me with the best balance and sound that I've ever had in an earbud. I'm wondering what you suggest that can give me the crisp highs and thumpy defined lows that the Liberty 3 Pros have but also has a HearID type app? Preferably dual driver. ALSO, I love the idea of the status Between Status PROs but I wish, because of my hearing loss, they had customizable EQ for each ear.
I have just got my Status Audio (Between Pro) and I'm loving it! The quality of voice notes is very realistic. It's hard to tell that I'm using earbuds while recording them. The mids are a bit muffled while I watch RUclips videos but the sound comes to life while playing music.
TOZO NC-7 upgraded for me (reviewed by Gamesky) - incredible battery life (over 11 hours on ONE charge), really good sound, really good noise canceling, great customer support, and under $50. My daily drivers. You cannot go wrong with them.
When I ordered the Golden X1 for the original price of $149 I was a little apprehensive. Tozo hadn't ventured over the hundred dollar price tag before and to justify this price they would have to be able to compete with countless other earbuds with highly impressive features. After receiving them and putting them through their paces my apprehension disappeared. The sound quality is like nothing I've heard before yet very impressive. The bass is strong, but unlike other earbuds it doesn't muddy up the rest of the experience. It hits hard and strong then recesses immediately. The ANC is what really got my attention. It's the type that takes a couple seconds to power up then nearly all outside noise disappears. Call quality is top notch as is the fit and feel. Overall they're surprisingly competitive with earbuds both within their price range and considerably above.
Need a replacement for my flybud c1’s the battery on my right side is dying. Battery life is noticably lower compared to left side. Used it almost two year now I think.
Last Christmas l knew I was getting a new ipod ( yes, ipod :p) and decided to randomly purchase a set of super cheap earbuds to go with the new device. I went on to Amazon and found a pair for $13 Canadian. They were listed under another name but were actually the Poweradd S12s. Never heard of the brand but took a chance. They have no buzzers and bells on them but the sound on them is amazing! Full and rich across the spectrum and just so good! They match up to just about any other earbud l own, and there's a lot to choose from 😂 I don't even think they are available any more but they stand as by far the best value I've found in a budget set of earbuds!
Great options. Still want the Tozo’s. My favorites are the Donner and Status for audio. The status for phone calls are great also. My only issue with the Soundpeats is the size.
On the top of opera 5 is the realme buds air 5 pro (don't forget the pro because they just produced the normal version that I don't know much about, except that they removed the armature driver). The app is great too, and the cherry on the cake is that they don't try to fall out of my ears all the time like the opera 5 does. You should really give them a chance and test them.
@@desmondmitchell5602I have 40 over the last two years. My top 3 in no order would be sound peats air 3 deluxe, sony link buds s, and my new audio technica twx9
Question - what's the point? Are you just collecting them? I mean surely there's a pair of best so why would you use anything which isn't the best. Though saying that, I do have 2 pairs - I have a pair of open ear which is use for conf calls, and then the silicon tips for music.
@@whereweregoingwedontneedey4374 Don’t know about everyone else but I work out and swim. I basically broke most of them and some became bad over time. Others I noticed became uncomfortable. Most of my stuff was budget stuff under $30 bucks. I haven’t purchased anything in a couple months and don’t plan to
I got soundcore vr P10(amazing quality for 80 euro and great app) for like 5 months, they are amazing, but yeah i use them for games, for music Sony link buds S, for me Sony S are the best, sound, very low profile, great anc, 6h battery, and they got an amazing app
I feel like I'm missing something with the Status. I got the 3ANC and just don't get the hype. Yes, they're very crisp and clear but I feel they really lack low end punch. Also think they're bulky and kind of uncomfortable.
As always another great video Sir ...I just bought the Baseus Bowie ma10 on Amazon for $22. Great ANC but like most the Ambient mode lacks. Bluetooth 5.3 Also have the EarFun Air Pro 3's. Pretty good too for the price. I need excellent transparency mode and still searching for them
Thanks for letting us know. Much appreciated. With me out of the ear buds. I would choose Beats by Dre are my favorites. Those Sony are really good as well. What is your favorites out Of all ear buds.
I love the Status 3ANC. The noise canceling and transparency mode are sufficient but they sound great. One of my complaints, and it’s a big one, is the seal on mine gave out while I was changing buds. I super glued them so I imagine I’ll probably have to buy a new pair if they get wet. The other complaint is I am not a fan of the silicone tips that come with these. I ended up getting Comply foam tips.
The Status Between 3ANC dont sound good at all imo. The bass is almost non-existent and if you turn them up all the way they distort and scream in your ear. The battery does last a long time. That is probably the best thing about them
Might look into the soundcore. Do you have any plans to review the PlayStation Pulse explore? Apparently they have planar magnetic drivers, that's the first pair of tws I've heard of having that technology.
Tozo (too pricey for the "not" big brand) Status (not available, and pricey too) VR (affordable, but don't like the design) Opera (hate the design, and hardly officially available until now) Sony ( I own Linkbuds S so not interested) Earfun (own it for around 1 or 2 month, good one, I think its better than Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro-had it only for a week, I think)
Just don't buy the Soundcores if you want to use it for the microphone as well. I bought them thinking I could have earbuds for gaming and it was one of the worst microphones ever. Like 1990 technology sounding microphone, very muffled and tons of static. I had to return it.
Been considering getting the soundpeats engine 4, unfortunately, no ambient sound is a big turn off for me. Would the opera 5 be a good alternative for an audiophile?
not sure they would be good for an audiophile do to their boosted EQ. Not very neutral which is what most audiophiles are looking for. They do sound great though
Any suggestions for affordable neutral sounding TWS under 100 USD? Hint, I have the over-ear Audiotechnica ANC900BTBK and their sound is outstanding, but that is a different style and price category.
Man, your XM5 has a defect. Try another XM5 with a Comply foam tip, as you said you tried the XM5 with silicone tips in another video. Saying the C700 has a better sound quality than XM5 is very misleading. C700 is basically C500 with ANC. C700 doesn't even come close to Linkbuds S, but again XM4 beats the Linkbuds S in sound quality. I tried all the earbuds and that's what i think.
@@OfficialGamesky thank you I am going to look at those. Thank you again for answering my question. I am sure you get lots of them. I have tried the closed ear, as I call them, but they make my ears sweat and that leads to problems
For me you're God of TWS. Because of you bought couple pairs. Now looking for TWS for my wife - not stem style, compact and up to 50€/$ price. She's not gonna hear difference between 50 or 150 €/$ TWS's.
the dongle if i heard him correctly, the dongle is a usb c plug, meaning if your ipad uses the apple charging cord (or lightning cable) prolly not without some form of adapter
The Status Between 3ANC dont sound good at all imo. The bass is almost non-existent, if you turn them up all the way they distort and scream in your ear and the highs aren't that crisp. The battery does last a long time. That is probably the best thing about them
I've tried them and thought they sounded better than my airpod pro 2, which I already love. What earbuds would you say is better than the between 3anc?
Now, what's better between the wf-700 and the link buds s? I just got a pair of xm4' s off Ebay for $88, and the sound is almost as good as my B&O eq buds( waste of money)
You know what’s never underrated? Your videos!!! Keep up the good work my man! Hope all is well!!

Reviews on amazon say that most of the time one of the buds die or just get really quiet. Is that the case in your pair or no?
