What matters the most for you when it comes to earbuds - sound or convenience?

Hi Mark, good review as always, Sound is number one for me, I just need a pair of buds that will do the basics well, I found that with the Denon Pearl Pro, sound signature is second to none, I say that as they are tuned via the app tech.

I honestly don't care about ANC in earbuds I have bad allergies and it makes my ears feel pressurized. What makes me really interested in these is the size!!! That case looks tiny and I love it lol. I have the top end Sony's and Samsung's but I might pick these up just for the size and simplicity. I have a tendency to lose these suckers(always the right one)so the sub-100 price makes these seem like the perfect beater buds.

Hi good review do they go louder than the beats plus?

@thomasspurlock2724 11 күн бұрын

Thanks mate for the review. I was trying to figure out if they had Spatial Audio support. I couldn’t really tell from their website. Seems like they really try not to use Apple’s jargon.

@oliverstemp9132 11 күн бұрын

Guessing it will only be for Apple Music users, like it is in the Studio Buds. and even then nowhere near as good as AirPods Pro.

@tafarapaul 11 күн бұрын

I will wait for a black Friday sale....they removed a lot of things lol, I'd rather get soundcore with ANC and all.

@gefthetalkingmongoose 11 күн бұрын

No charging LED is insane, that's pretty much a dealbreaker and it would've cost them pennies to include

"Insane"? It's not really, mate, is it.

@upperedgelon1317 6 күн бұрын

Plus an LED and a circuit board to drive it, which would have made the case larger. The goal was to make the case as small as possible

Basically, they’re a higher priced Beats X/Flex without the wires.

Or for £20+ cheaper buy the Soundcore A40s that actually come with ANC unlike these Beats earbuds..😢

@Gooitt 11 күн бұрын

Check the frequency response of the anker. They have the sound of the worst era of early beats. I mean that's so terrible that I rather listen to rusty metal scratch glass instead of any of anker product.

Beats have lost their way with the last three releases, It’s a real shame

@goobfilmcast4239 5 күн бұрын

Just got them from Amazon today (June 24, 2024). WORST sounding earbuds I have EVER tried. Waaaaay too much treble...even for audiobooks/podcasts....poor fit despite using every supplied tip. No amount of tweaking has helped. Very low max volume on my iPhone and iPad....just OK on my Mac mini. Immediate return. I will stick with my trusty AirPods. Apple (Beats) has finally disappointed me. Well... You get what you pay for.
