      Which ones have you tried so far ? And what will you be using them for ? Reason I ask is because going to gym, using them for jogging etc doesn’t allow most people to see there actual flaws. I work in an extremely loud warehouse ( so when I put earbuds and the ANC to use - it’s testing it to the extreme )

      @@homerdohytyeah man i just sent them back, the glue holding the filter separating the inside from the outside is some cheap shit, it turned into a slime-like liquid and messed up everything. Idk how they managed to make such a bad design decision. The problem is not rare at all, almost all people having problems with the mom 3s have the same problem. It makes the earbud sound like 2% as loud as it should be, and sometimes it gives of some kinda pulsing beep sound, which for some reason is as loud as it should be. So if you have any problems with it, feel free to send them back for any small issue, because the quality is just shit. It’s kind of a shame because they sound great when they’re working.

    Hello my friend! I had already asked you a similar question in another video, related to the bass sound of the jabra elite 75t.

  • @ninpohimiko

    Nice comprehensive comparison.
    I wonder if the Technics suffers the same problem as sister-branded Panasonic RZ-S500W I've had for a few years now in that the battery on the case depletes (or at least suffers from bad phantom drain) if not used for a few weeks? That is what would make me hesitant get it.

    Why no one talks about HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3??? You should definitely try them! Right now I have them at home along with the Technics AZ80 and I would dare to say that they are very, very equal in almost all aspects. In terms of sound, I don't know which of the two to seriously opt for and also in phone calls, the Huawei beats the Technics, especially in a very noisy environment. Do a review of the Huawei, you will be surprised and the video will be seen by many people for shure! Great job by the way! Love your reviews! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • @siy01
    @siy01 Před 3 měsíci +4

    I'd say these are on par with the Pearl Pro's for sound quality. Going back and fourth on 20+ tracks between the two with highest sound quality settings for both, there isn't a clear winner. Neither is more detailed than the other, sometimes the Tecnics seemed to have more detail, sometimes the Pearl Pro's did. The Tecnics do sound richer on some tracks, but without testing them both back to back you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference, and that could also be down to sound Profiles on the Pearl Pro's.
    Both go loud enough, but the Pearls slightly louder, but you wouldn't normally play either at their loudest. The Tecnics have a better form factor and style, and are also slightly more comfortable. Didn't test Immersion or Spatial Audio with Flac, but with 320kbps mp3's spatial audio does practically nothing and Immersion just adds bass on the Pearl Pro's. Overall the Tecnics are the better earbud and cheaper.

    • @pickyaudio
      @pickyaudio  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Yep I pretty much agree that’s why the technics have the higher score, they’re the best overall for sure. And sound quality wise the extra half point was more for the better band customisation but yea back and forth, track to track it’s so close.

    I just bought them and HOLY CRAP. I have the Sennheiser MTW3 and they are garbage compared to the AZ80’s. Everything is so crystal clear on the Technics. All of these reviewers that are saying the MTW4’s are better are just paid shills. And sadly, even some of my favorite CZcamsrs have become. Sennheiser is going hardcore this year and paying off so many of these “reviewers” for a positive review. Or, these CZcamsrs have just zippo audiophilic ears and really are stupid and love bass, bass, bass; the same people who think Beats sound good. 😂

      THE WINNER agrees 👍
      Finally, someone else gets THE WINNER when he says that the noise canceling of the Sony XM5s is nowhere near as great as its hyped up to be and definitely not top 3
      Like you said, there's like 10% difference between NC on and off although to give credit where due, it does have great passive noise isolation .
      THE WINNER's Jabra Elite 10s have the best noise canceling he ever tried, followed surprisingly by the cheaper Sony Linkbuds S then the Sennheiser momentum true wireless 3, Sony, Technics A-Z60M2 (Better value A-Z80s) then the and Jabra Elite 8 actives.

    I want to say this: people can disagree and that’s fine. I am not an audiophile and I am simply giving my opinion. I work in a loud warehouse for 11 hours per day. Having a great set of earbuds with FIRE ANC ( is a must for me ) I have AirPod Pro 2nd gen, Bose QCii, Bose QCii Ultra, and I just got the new Technics AZ80 - again my opinion. The Bose sound WAY better, they block out way more background noise etc. ( now the Bose do this weird disconnect thing and all that crap from time to time - so keep that in mind ) I was not impressed at all with the AZ80 - I would take/use AirPod Pro 2nd gen, or Bose QC Ultra over the technics ALL DAY LONG! Bose sound the best, however AirPod Pros just do what they do and they do it WELL! And no I’m not an Apple fan boy. Just using them daily, the ANC is pretty good ( not as good as the Bose but still really good ) they never cut out, they never pop or make noises, they work and connect flawlessly. So I’ll be keeping and using my AirPods the most, but I will be keeping the Bose Ultra to use as well. The Technics have to go back. I really wanted to love them. I wish AirPod Pro could make a ANC like Bose, be able to adjust bass, treble etc ( like Bose ) and still work as flawlessly as they do. Sorry for long post - just my 2 cents! And I’ve re tested everyone of them the last 3 days. Hope this helps someone at least

      The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a better sound 🔊 than the Airpod Pro 2, an ANC quality and transparency mode equivalent to at least 85%, better microphones on phone calls in noisy environments...
      100% of the testers that I usually follow and with whom I arrive in 99% of cases at the same conclusions after my tests, are unanimous on the fact that the OnePlus Buds 3 have a sound equal to that of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, a better ANC, and above all better microphones in phone calls in noisy environments with a better battery 🔋 life.

    I just bought these to replace my broken momentum 3's (yeah, i'm pissed off...) and i have to say i'm a bit disappointed. They sound great and sweet, they have amazing instrument separation but they lack extension in the sub bass and the highs, they don't get very loud too so they feel much less powerful than the Sennheisers. ANC is also not as powerful, it's just enough to attenuate the low frequencys of the subway but i still can hear conversations and high pitch noises.
    What i love about them is the transparency mode and the fact that they don't have any white noise or hissing, that's much better than the M3's and the connection seems to be much more stable. They fit great in my ears too.
    I hope Sennheiser fixes all their problems this year with the M4's because i already miss my old buds... (Sorry for my english)

      Update ; I guess my ears got used to them lol, they're actually amazing soundwise, and the Bass is very tight and accurate. I think the only minor problem is a slight lack of treble, at least with the Dynamic preset (which is the best) that make it sound a bit more closed than the Sennheisers, it's noticable on genres like metal, jazz or orchestral music, a little more "air" would have been great, but otherwise they are one of the best sounding earbuds i've bought yet, the level of details and richness in the sound is fantastic, without sounding harsh at all (Unlike the Bose QC II...)

I like a pretty V-shaped sound EQ but the Massimo Custom profile on the Pearl's was even more V-shaped than what I have on the Tecnics. The switch from default to personalised felt like a bit of a trick to create a sense of "wow factor" with the default intentionally tuned to sound bad. Tennics win in every other category against the Pearl's IMO. Just outstanding buds overall.
