hi . help me out. which one is the best for bass and music and good volume : 1 sony link buds s . 2 jbl live pro 2 . oneplus buds pro 2 / or new buds 3 . beats fit pro . 4 . Samsung fe . 5 sennheiser cx plus . note that my ear are just little bet small and I have sony wf-1000xm4 but that not loud enough and buds 2 and 2 pro not so comfortable and anker liberty 4 and air 2 pro not have much bass i wanted . now I'm looking for new buds and I'm stuck with these cose I like sony and jbl and I heard the oneplus one is better but I don't trust them.

Thank you for the great video. Personally, multipoint and a low-latency mode have become an absolute requirement. I have the Earfun's and Soundpeats and am happy with both. I also have big ears and have never had a more secure earbud than the Earfun's. The Sounpeats are super-comfortable and great for music.

@ExtraEcclesiamNullaSalus 2 ай бұрын

I've got the liberty 4 NC, and love them, just come comments to consider: - case - I think they went with a larger case for ergonomics so it rests comfortably in a hand, without needing a harder squeeze to hold a smaller case. - spacial audio - it sounds weird for stuff like listening to a video like this with dialogue, but I think it shines if you want to listen to music more like you're in a night club with the DJ music all around the dance floor. Listening to 8D audio songs is an amazingly immersive experience.

Extraordinarily impressed by your research, mate. A truly phenomenal video. I always sleep with my Bose QC 35 II (due to my extraordinarily noisy neighbors) and I wonder if you could suggest any of these earbuds to replace them, considering both the required comfort to sleep on the side, and no random settings activated by pressure, in contact with the pillow. I realize it´s probably a complicated question, but I would certainly appreciate if you gave me your educated opinion. :) Cheers!

Thanks again for the great summary. My only recommendation to make these comparisons even better would be a summary at the end for each one. Maybe 2 things good and bad each, so maybe 4th place doesn’t have the best ANC or call quality, but topped the pack in battery life and controls customization or something. I know your spreadhseet allows this type of comparison, but this could help some people. Just an idea. Great work

Fantastic summary. Could you please consider doing JABRA 8 ACTIVE review? I work construction and almost all ANC buds have zero dust resistance. Im just returning my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro because dust got in microphone and destroyed ANC. I'm thinking about 8 active as they the only robust earbuds I've seen but I'm worried about downgrade in transparency mode. I have Space A40 and they have transparency but it's very bad.

@pickyaudio 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! I have no plans but I don’t know many buds with a dust proof rating so they’re probably your only option. I quickly compared to transparency of the A40 and 8 active for you. The 8 active is slightly better than the A40 but the buds2 pro are better overall with less occlusion as well.
