Seconding Soundcore. I’ve never been interested in AirPods because I would lose them and be mad about wasting so much money. I’ve got a set of Soundcore Liberty Air that work great 3 years later and they’re sub $100.
yeah sennheiser wins 4 me.... I hated all ipods and everything samsung has made after the pods 2!! actually i prefer soundcore liberty over this list they sound better and cost 1/4 as much with a battery life that outshine everyone else..... but everyone has different tastes so if you happy me happy 😊
I will tell you my personal experience with the 2 first you are showing. soundcore liberty had a great bass, the anc is fantastic and the sound quality i would say mediocre, their application has lots of options in terms of eq and haptic futures! Now for the h3 i can only say bad things except the sound quality which i find good... the bad things are the application thats why they have two (both are bad), the connectivity sucks i find myself embarrassed as i commute and the buds disconnect for no reason also the default eq not good, the battery sucks, they feel cheap and their fitting compared to liberty is not good (in my ears) i had the same issue with the xm5 from sony but they sended me a silicone tips and that fixed it. Again that's my personal experience
I liked the good connection quality of the Sony earbuds; they're much more stable than many other TWS earbuds in terms of connection. The sound quality is decent, but the sound settings aren't universal—they sound good in some genres, but downright terrible in others. Gesture control settings are completely absent—I really dislike this on both Sony and Samsung. You can only turn gestures on and off, but you can't customize them. The ANC is mediocre, average at best, but definitely not outstanding. Sony cheated and included thick, dense foam earpads that do a decent job of isolating sound, but they're not ANC! As soon as you swap out the included earpads for any other kind, you realize that the ANC doesn't really block out anything. For example, the entire Anker Soundcore series blocks out ambient noise MUCH better than the Sony earbuds, and that's with any earpads, not just the included ones.
Best ANC - Anker Soundcore Liberty Series.
Unlike Sony, they muffle not only low-frequency noise, but also high-frequency noise, such as voices, music, etc.
Best sound - any TWS that has a parametric equalizer, like Moondrop Space Travel 2 or Tanchjim Mino. I found the sound in TWS disappointing, even the models for hundreds of dollars don't sound great, it's a far cry from the quality of wired iems. I also don't like the settings on all TWS earbuds. Each time, they try to mask their technical shortcomings by overemphasizing the bass and high frequencies. Even expensive models like the Noble Rex5 are no exception. At least a parametric equalizer allows you to find a more suitable setting.
Despite all of the above, I prefer Ugreen Dots and Redmi 6 Play over any other TWS because they have a perfect fit and are fanatically comfortable, and you can do any activity in them without any discomfort.
If you want something that actually lasts, stick to brands like Anker, Sony, or JBL. I’ve seen a lot of people have good long-term experience with Anker Soundcore series (Life Note / Liberty line). They’re not the best sounding, but super reliable + great battery.
