"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"10-15 day battery life"
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"the battery lasts 2 weeks, that's with 5 days worth of tracking runs and day to day use. Incredible."

"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"after heavy and extreme and I mean extreme use in a very dirty environment, after a year the range suddenly cut down... I felt like I'd gotten my measly 20ish buck worth from them and didn't fault jlab due to the extreme circumstances I used them in daily. ... I work in a hot asa filthy steel mill and the fact they lasted a year was impressive to me."
"My old Breville lasted 10-11 years ... I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it."

"constant connectivity issues I experienced. ... The buds would randomly not turn on when taken out of the case, or just one wouldn't turn on, or they wouldn't connect, or sometimes the buds would randomly disconnect/reconnect, or sometimes the buds would disconnect from each other. ... I really wanted to keep them but they were borderline unusable, even after an update."
"Also connection with iPhone has always been terrible. ... Dropped connections, sometimes it just won ’t connect."
"they would constantly disconnect from my s23."

"Pretty comfy but come loose during workouts. ... When they come loose, they fall out."
"every single version of the AirPods (apart from the max) hurt my ears after minutes of use. ... Despite trying the different tips and aftermarket covers, I can't seem to get them to be comfortable."
"I had them for a week and returned them cause they were really uncomfortable."

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"after about 6 months of use, the battery life fell off dramatically. ... I'm lucky if I get 45 minutes out of a full charge. ... This battery issue affected both sets of Elite 65t earbuds."
"my vivoactive 4s died a few months ago now after a few good years services, I wanted to change it. I couldn't because I had the change the whole watch, planned obsolescence."

"The worst shape for me are the Jabra Elite / Sony WF-1000XM5 style that stick out way far from your ears. ... Never understood why they are designed to be so far outside your ear. ... Like you could never wear them with a bike or motorcycle helmet."
"Same problem."
"I was bothered by the silicone wing piece constantly sliding off. ... My main issue is comfort and staying in the ear"

"just not enough volume"
"no decent bass"
"Roam sounds like a can that really lack any lows and good sound overall"
I recently received the Soundcore Liberty 5. They are around 160 AUD and have transparency mode and active noise cancellation.
r/AussieFrugal • Good alternative to Apple Airpods ->I was honestly surprised by anker soundcore. My wife stole my Buds live so I got her soundcore. They are surprisingly good for their price.
r/S22Ultra • Seeking best earbuds for cancelling noise - what is your pick? ->AirPods Pro for ease. Also own Max. For the best, I’d recommend Sony’s top cans. Can’t recommend the best buds as I’ve not tried Sonys or Bose’s newest models. AirPods have horrific fit (generally speaking, it’s a known thing even if it works for some), no water proofing, and don’t really top any category except connection strength due to their dedicated chip. But if you are in apples ecosystem, their usability cannot be beat. Soundcore Liberty and SoundPeats make very solid budget friendlier options that can be trusted to not break in a week.
r/onebag • What earbuds/headphones do you use? ->Totally feel you—one earbud at the gym is torture. And yeah, Powerbeats 2? Overpriced hype. Here are your best bets: Sony WF-1000XM5 – Top-tier noise canceling, killer bass, customizable EQ. Pricey but worth it. Anker Soundcore Liberty 4/5 – Great ANC, solid fit, EQ control, and way more affordable. Pixel Buds Pro – Smooth ANC, EQ options, perfect for Android users. Sony WH-1000XM5 (Headphones) – Over-ear comfort, elite noise canceling, full sound control. On a budget? Donerton earbuds (~$25) get the job done with decent bass and fit. Best combo of value and performance? Go Anker or Sony. Want max comfort? Grab the WH-1000XM5.
r/Earbuds • Best for the gym, noise cancellation and the ability to play around with the equalizer ->I have both the Earfun Pro 4 and Soundcore Liberty 5, both are good. The Soundcore I think is slightly better.
r/Earbuds • I've been struggling for a month now ->Soundcore. I have Earfun Pro 4 and Liberty 5, but I liked the liberty 5 more. Though the Earfun aren't bad.
r/Earbuds • I'm confused between three options. Which one would you recommend? ->I was skeptical about wireless earbud until I got some. I have a cheap anker soundcore set that I use for podcasts, and the Nothing Ear 1 that has amazing sound.
r/MotoG • Which wireless earbuds are you using for the Moto G Stylus, 2024? ->And here I am 100% happy for years using my $20 Amazon anker soundcores haha. Is there something wrong with me...
r/dataisbeautiful • I analyzed 1 year of wireless earbuds recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024–2025). These are the top 25 (r/Earbuds vs all subreddits) ->I've tried many brands (beats, Sony, pixel buds, akg, master and dynamic$$) and I've finally settled on the. Anker Soundcore for me. I use the p40i with the Comply foam tips and I've had no complaints during my calls. Great part is that model of earbud is relatively cheap to stock up on in case you have a habit of misplacing them like I do. My current Pixel is the 8.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds should I use for phone calls? ->Anker soundcore’s used to be my go-to’s when my AirPods weren’t available, but they are horribly priced now - like more than AirPods. Maybe Amazon or someone else will have them at a better price than direct. I have also had good experience with a pair of Sony earbuds I gave to my daughter. The noise cancelling is superb because we have to throw stuff at her to get her attention.
r/LinusTechTips • What earbud would you recommend for under $70 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
