      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.

    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
      @oliverstemp9132 Před 19 dny

      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.

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

      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

      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.

    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.
