Man, I really wish Etymotic released a pair of earphones with a triple-flange with amazing sound isolation and with the same noise cancelling of the XM5/Bose. That would be an amazing product for really noisy environments!
👍
i am also a fan of Etymotic, but sadly they’re so behind in the wireless era
Waiting for your galaxy buds 3 pro review
I just purchased the Technics and await delivery. Thanks to your review I saw earlier today. Cheers Aaron.
Fantastic!
I just want to throw in the 1MORE evo - even being a bit older in my opinion they offer very good anc and sound for a reasonable price, since they are usually on sale due to their age.
Just as with your mic tests, how about a video where you go out of the studio and use the buds in some common use cases like sitting on public transport, walking along the road or in a noisy foodcourt?
he tries to keep it scientific. too many variables outside for a fair comparison. bus drives by or kid cries with 1 ear bud will ruin it for that ear bud. when comparing products, you want things to be equal and controlled.
Hello dear friend, I liked your review and accuracy very much
The specifications of the Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 earbuds were very much liked but the transparency is very important and its performance is not the same as airpod pro apple do you know of any other alternative to it?
HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3 was missing.
QCY melobuds pro
How about samsung buds pro 3? And also really eager to see Jabra Elite 10 'Gen 2' review.
Hi!
I would like to offer you a review on the Chinese Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 headphones. I think they will pleasantly surprise you and make a great review.
Underrated earbuds. They are excellent.
Exactly. They are pretty much unbeatable, feature rich and underrated. (probably because of the US ban)
I own the XM5s and QCIIs. QCIIs are still the king of ANC. For those are not interesting for ANC I suggest to try the Huawei Freeclips. The fit is from other planet, the battery, the multipair support, touch controls, lightweight & sound quality are top notch. They can also able to understand which earbud is in the left or right ear and adapt the proper channel. Huawei made a witchcraft with those beauties. Period.
I think I will move to the headphones after being your subscriber for years. Considering the experience of Sony WF 1000XM4, it is ample
have you tried any other audio accessories?
I paste my review here, in case it has something useful. I replaced Sony WF-1000XM4's with *Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro.*
Sony lasted bit over 2 years. Just like my previous Sony WH-1000XM4's. Yes, both had 2 year warranty... 🤔
At least for me, Buds2 Pro is:
+ Massive improvement in comfort (smaller, lighter)
+ Better sound. Now you can hear treble, too! More bass & dynamics.
But still not the typical super-muddy MEGA BASS sound.
+ 2 drivers vs. 1 brings extra clarity (especially during loud bass)
+ Less sensitive to wind
+ ANC bit better, at least on some scenarios
+ More controls (after activating from the app):
1/2/3 Taps: Play or Pause / Next / Previous
Hold Left: ANC On Ambient sound
Hold Right: Same, could be few other things
Right earlobe: Volume Up (too big steps...)
Left earlobe: Volume Down (too big steps...)
- There are better options for those, who want best possible
call quality and microphone sound.
- No general Multi-device pairing
- Doesn't work with iOS
- Very sensitive touch controls (can be turned Off)
- Battery life ~5 h with ANC
- No Custom EQ. You get one by downloading app *Wavelet*
- Some features work with Samsung Galaxy only
* Windows app is called 'Galaxy Buds' and isn't advertised.
Anyways, I use *Sony WH-1000XM4* headphones with PC. Sound
quality isn't the best, but battery lasts much longer + there's
nothing in my ear. ANC is slightly better, too. And they fold, unlike
XM5's. So I bought a 2nd pair.
Because of Android phone, Apple wasn't an option.
Because of Samsung phone, additional features (many of them useless)
Because of new version coming, priced at 99 €, including Finnish 24 % VAT,
i.e. -57 % from the MSRP. That's about $107 (USD).
Also, I hate muddy Lo-Fi MEGA BASS, offered by so many headphones. I listen
to audiobooks, many styles of music etc. Boomy sound causes listening
fatique and causes you to raise the volume, so that you'd hear the vocals too.
@@edmundrbx6546 not yet
@@eukariootti1 i have heard so many people stated that buds 2 pro is better than XM4. What about repairablity factors? I feel like when TWS is not repairable, so I would like to move to headphone
Awesome video Aaron!!! I actually do hate screaming kids, so you’re not alone.
The QC Ultra Earphones have been the best in terms of ANC for me but the sound quality to my ears sounds very cheap and the white noise is so annoying
Thank you for another excellent video.
Thanks for watching!
Aaron X can you please review the Baseus MA10, because it is the best budget earbuds under 50$, it has good sounding and customizable and massive battery life. Also theres other version of baseus earbuds like the MA10s, MA10 pro and lastly MA20 if that exist somewhere in the market.
What about best for sound quality?
There seems to be *HUGE variance* in answers...
For Apple, I'd simply buy *Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation).* Even though they look bit dorky and I don't like the bright white colour.
My _guess_ is that the next version will sound even better. The case is already the best there is.
For Android... Well, I haven't heard great majority of them. Just like most reviewers haven't. Personally, I updated from Sony XM4's to *Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro.* Listening to music is now more fun. Since both comfort and sound quality improved.
Some reviewers, at least if they're not into typical MegaBASS type sound, put beforementioned Apple and Buds2 Pro in fairly high places. Then again, many others don't...
I've never heard B&W Pi7 S2 or any Sennheiser earbuds, for example. Based on their price and brand they _should be_ great, but you never know with earbuds. Because our ear channels aren't identical. Also, many earbuds seem to have "commercial sound", i.e. insane amount of bass.
Anyways, they won't work as planned, if they don't fit to you. That was major problem for me with XM4's. They were also super-sensitive to wind and highest treble didn't exist at all. Fancy codecs, Custom EQ etc. can't fix things like that.
Please tell me what foam tips you have got to actually stay on the Liberty 4NC please Aaron. I have tried plenty, both expensive and cheap but they all pop off when the bud moves in the ear. Thanks.
The foam tips designed for AirPods Pro fits on the Liberty 4NC 😁
@@aaronloudnwireless any specific brands you'd recommend? My L4NC feel a bit loose too no matter how far I push them into my ear canal 😅
@@Ryou6Try the Spinfit Omnis. It works flawlessly on any TWS and it doesn't reduce bass like foam tips.
Have a nice day; I think, Sennheiser Momentum true wireless 4 should be on this list.
Thanks for your input!
Hoping you will have best overall 2024 lists for earbuds and headphones.
Like the best in every category?
@@aaronloudnwireless I mean overall best 2024 earbuds and overall best 2024 headphones. Separate them by price if needed, for example $200, but not by noise cancelling or call quality. Considering all factors, which earbuds and headphones do you rank at the top in 2024?
Appreciate your input.
@@aaronloudnwireless I want to hear your input before buying earbuds or headphones 😀
Great video as usual 😎
The Technics AZ80's had better ANC than the Sony XM5. I tried both and the Technics were the best I've heard..
I've search the price of the earpods on the list, the soundcore is half or less than half of the price of top 1-3
Rate them in sound pressure level, the first which will hit 120dB I will buy.( they will hardly reach 75dB) Until I will stick with my wired Sennheiser IE300.
The unit of power is Watt (W)... Anyways, I haven't experienced headphones which wouldn't be loud enough for me (unless you want sub-bass at high levels).
* If Andoid/iOS is limiting the volume (for new earbuds), turn that function off.
* If IE 300 is similar to IE 200, it has fairly flat (Hi-Fi) frequency response.
If so, this isn't Mega BASS -related (masking).
* Do you consider yourself having quite normal hearing?
* Do you listen to something exceptionally challenging?
*Equal-loudness contour:* 80 phons (perceived loudness) is roughly:
120 dB at 20 Hz
110 dB at 30 Hz
100 dB at 55 Hz
90 dB at 110 Hz
80 db at 1 kHz
*Threshold for hearing* is far from linear. It's roughly:
> 70 dB at 20 Hz
60 dB at 30 Hz
50 dB at 40 Hz
40 dB at 55 Hz
30 dB at 80 Hz
20 dB at 120 Hz
10 dB at 250 Hz
< 0 dB at 2...5 kHz
@@eukariootti1 The limiting factor is power, impedance and sound pressure level with any headphones and earphones. With wired earphones you need the lowest impedance possible ie 16ohms or less so less power needed to be driven by an amplifier (I guess you know that). My android phone doesn't limit the volume and it has a built in DAC converter but I can still attach a USB-C DAC dongle like ASUS MU-3C and still can get a bit of improvement in sound quality.
The IE 200 is flat, doesn't come close to the IE300 nor IE400 which both are a bit V shaped. The IE 300 is very similar to the IE400 and these two are very similar to my old and trusty HD25 mk2 headphones.
Soundcore Sport X20
Thank you very much. ❤
air pods have amazing anc I don't like airpods or never used them I don't like stem earbuds but the bise and thr sony have the best anc
If it's not stem type you want then yes the Bose and Sony :)
Do same video for best audio earbuds (include yamaha e7b earbuds)
Excellent content. I am looking for a recommendation, I am looking for wireless in-ear headphones that give me audiophile sound quality that has excellent sound quality that allows me to clearly hear even the smallest detail, voices, sound effects, wind, etc. My budget is 500 dollars, thank you.
How do the Momentum 4 match up to these with the new firmware?
I would like to buy some budget earbuds that are good on battery/ambient/anc rather than focus on audio quality (i already a good pair of iem's for that).
I was thinking about nothing ear (a) or soundcore liberty 4 NC, what do you think and how do they compare?
Liberty 4 NC
do you include the new buds3 pro?
Aaron, Thank you very much!
No problem!
For best bass quality + anc, gemini2 or wf xm5 are best, but sony got way better battery.
There is no ult wear buds tho, which is a sad thing XD
I don't like Apple 🍏 , but the Airpods Pro 2 are among the 3 best earbuds when it comes to ANC, the 3 best are the Bose QC Ultra, Airpods Pro 2 and the new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, on the other hand Airpods and Galaxy Buds are only to be recommended to people in their respective "closesystems", Bose have too many connectivity problems and bad microphone for calls.
The Sony, without their memory foam tips, are actually very average, and any earbuds present in this test do even better than the Sony if you put memory foam tips on them 🤷🏽♂️
The Soundcore Liberty 4 NC, indeed the best earbuds in terms of ANC outside the top three, in addition, they cost almost 3 times less 👌🏽
Contender, Sennheiser Momentum 4.
The Jabras have nothing to do there 🤧
🙏🏽
Ps: Aaron, please, test the Qcy Ht08 Melobuds Pro, they are very, very surprising, especially for their prices $30-40$
What about Sennheiser MTW4?
It's good also. Might have been a number 6 or 7.
can you review the master & dynamics mw09 ?
I got myself a new AirPod pro 2 (lightning) for 155$ was it a good deal?
Yes
For me even the airpods pro 2 are the best
Bagaimana dengan samsung apakah tidak masuk kedalam kategori anda
It's a brave video 2 days before Samsung's event. I hope their new pro buds will make a change.
lol.. If it turns out to be any better than these at ANC I'll include them in the next roundup
Tryign to decide on what jabra elite to get...the 10 is like $220 and the jabra 4 is only $100
I’m thinking of buying the 10, but aren’t you worried about not being produced any longer?
Please huawei freebuds pro 3 bro
Yamaha e7b Earbuds cheap in india 95usd only
Which one is better in terms of sound quality and ANC the soundcore liberty 4 (not nc) or the nothing ear (a)
Soundcore Liberty 4
HUAWEI BUDS 3 PRO
👍
They all sound weak, I think your setup doesn't show anc properly, I've some pixel buds pro which aren't nearly as good at anc as the Sony and Bose but mine sound 100x better than your demo.
too bad the bose are terrible in every other way haha. and even more too bad... the gen 2 jabra 10 elites which boast 2x the ANC performance of the already awesome gen 1s are the last of the ear buds from jabra
Dude they all sound the same
Too much Bass in your Voice. That leads to bad understanding.
Wrong, these are all crap because none of them have an over-the-ear hook. The only thing these little nuggets are good for is losing them when they fall off your head after a very slight movement.
Will Bose release their next flagship earbuds for this year, 2024 ??
