I still have AirPods 2 and I tried the pro 2’s last year but ended up giving them to my son. I like buds that I just pop in and sit in my ear. I had og AirPods and loved them. I need to try on the 4’s and see how they fit to consider a purchase.

In my ears, they stay in perfectly fine. Despite really liking Apple earbuds (the wired ones) for years and never having problems with them, it wasn't until a few years ago I took the plunge to buy the wireless AirPods, even if I was worried about them falling out. I haven't had a problem with them falling out in regular, normal usage.

After losing two pair of Airpod pros, I tried to find something cheaper. I use my ear buds for phone conversations, and listening to podcasts. After trying a highly recomended pair of JBLs, which had inferior microphone issues, I went back to the original Airpods as they were far more comfortable, and gave me everything I needed at $80.

Yeah I’ve tried that and it’s just cumbersome. What I liked about the AirPods one was they just worked. Clean them every now and then and they go. I meant replacements as in the 3s or 4s.

I’m not a fan of the gummy thingys. I had a pair of Beats Studio buds and no matter what tip I put in they never fit. The right ear bud would just jump out of my ear and not fit. Meanwhile while my AirPods gen 1 have rarely fallen out. I’m crazy to update my gen 1 AirPods because the battery is bad (1 hour of listening time)and I lost one of them.

I use them everyday for work, music, gym etc and while they’re amazing when they work, I’ve also had some bad experiences and have gone through like four pairs between the OG AirPods and the gen 1 pros. I’ve been trying to decide whether to snag these since my left pod is making a terrible noise, or wait it out for pro 3’s later this year.

I am convinced that I have alien ears because I haven't encountered a single earbud that stays put if I so much as turn my head too fast. So when I bought the original Airpods, I found some earbud hooks on Amazon. They work perfectly, the only downside is having to remove them so the airpods can be placed in the case. I just bought the Airpod Pro 2s and they do feel a bit more snug. I'm not going to trust it though and just bought some earbud hooks for them too. They were $15 on Amazon.

Airpods are good but it sucks when they start to crap out on you. I’ve been using a pair of soundcore liberty 4 NCs for a little over a year now and they’ve been great. Honestly, they sound better than at least the first gen airpods (idk what the second gen ones sound like) and they’re a fraction of the price of a brand new pair.

They sell them in 3 pairs which usually can last for 1year+, just clean your ears more often. Also incase anyone thinks about cleaning them with rubbing alcohol, avoid doing this, rubbing alcohol will absolutely disintegrate comply foam tips. I'm glad those worked for you though, the only airpods that never fell out of my ears were the original ones with the long stem, these short ones fall the moment I move my face.

Apparently I was born with unlucky ears - I’ve tried regular wired earbuds, original AirPods, and AirPod pros, and they all fall out of my ears (using any size tips for the pros or using Comply foam tips). The only ones that do stay in are the Beats Pro with the silicone wings, but the wings exert a lot of pressure on my ears and makes them hot and uncomfortable after 30-40 minutes. I’m really hoping that the new 4’s shape is different enough to fit me better. I don’t even need to be able to sleep in them or go running in them, just be sturdy enough to not fall out when walking. I’m jealous of people who can put AirPods in their ears and keep them in all day.

Having used both xm4 and air pods 1st gen when I'm an android user, I would pick airpods any day. Really disappointed by the battery issue on xm4, and noise cancelling isn't that much different between the 2 when Sony requires foam ear tips for a good seal causing discomfort when wearing for a long time, while airpods achieve similar level of anc while being extremely comfortable. Plus with an iPhone u get a lot of the nice to have features that I didn't. Also the price tag is pretty different between the 2 and I don't think Sony can justify the price difference with its advantages.

My OGs aren’t doing so well, so I bought the Pro 2. They wouldn’t stay in my ears for shit. Tried every tip size. No go. Gave them to my wife, and I bought the 4. Still won’t stay in my ears. Just returned those. The OGs are the best. I took my wife’s 2nd gen that are very much like the OGs. They fit fine and never all out. I do miss all the features the Pro 2 offers. I hope Apple makes the original design with all the Pro 2 features.

I have pro 2s and the right one is crackling and when I put it in the case it acts as if it’s still in my ears. So when I charge them I come back to a nice surprise every morning to 1 dead ear bud. It’s been 1 year and it’s the worst $250 I’ve ever spent. I’d say go with another brand I’m done with Apple. The og AirPods stopped syncing after 1 year but I learned my lesson.

My first gen AirPods are still kicking too and I dropped my right bud into hot engine oil once. They sounds absolutely horrible and battery life sucks now, but the fact they’re still going is crazy. After that I got Beats Fit Pro which I definitely recommend then Sony XM4 which have amazing ANC and now Momentum MTW4 which are my favorites because of the crisp sound.

Nocreep4u • about 1 year ago

After using Raycons, Earfun Air Pro (gen1), Airpods (gen1 on android), OnePlus Buds Pro, Jabra Elite 85t, and Moon drop Space Travel, there was a very clear winner imo. OnePlus Buds Pro were my favorite by FAR. They were more expensive than the rest, but absolutely worth it. Great bass, loud, good noise cancelling, could locate a lost bud (on OnePlus 8 pro). Space Travel have "replaced" them for now with some great price to performance. Also because I finally lost my OP Buds Pro after a great few years. I just don't like the MDST volume height. I like to bowl and they couldnt compete with the external noise nearly as well as my OP Buds. Jabra 85t was a surprising let down. Sure they sounded fine, but you couldn't use your left ear without the right side. I use my buds at work a lot so I like to switch buds when one dies. Jabra couldn't do that, so they got replaced when the MDST came out. Also, they were kinda uncomfortable and the button was uncomfortable to press when they were in. Earfun Air Pro, Raycons and Airpods were incredibly forgettable tbh. I blame the Airpods problems on the android compatibility and that they had been run through a washing machine before I got them. Not their fault probably, but I still had my OP Buds at the time so they didn't get much care.

Exactly the reason why I had to get the 4s. No matter what tips I tried even memory foam, the pros 2 still hurt my ears after 10-15 mins. Much better with the 4s and ANC is pretty decent I have no complaints. Best fit for me still was the first AirPods.

Second this. The 1st gens fit like they were molded to my ear. I tried 3rd gen once and said nope. I have AirPods Pro 2 but I’ve never found tips that get them to stay in my ear if I’m doing anything other than sitting upright at my desk. These definitely feel larger than the 1st gen but I think I’ll get used to it. Like the 1st gen, the stem fits right in the gap between the tragus and antitragus and the earbud sits in the area behind that. The sound quality difference between these and the 1st gen is *insane* though.

For those saying they don’t like the tips…why not just remove the tips. I have AirPods gen 1, AirPod Pro gen 1, AirPod Pro gen 2. I frequently just take the tips off if i am on long calls and they feel just like the pods without the tips. Still sound great, and still have the pro features. Just does not cancel noise out as much without the tips. Guessing airpod 4 also will not cancel out as much due to not being a sealed system.

I have/had several earbuds with silicon or foam tips: AirPods Pro 1&2, various Galaxy Buds, Pixel Buds Pro and the Sony WF-1000XM5. Some of theses are fantastic (especially the Sony XM5). But they all fall out and bother my ear canal. I've tried different sizes tips, Comply and other 3rd party tips nothing works. I wanted higher quality sound, but the AirPods 1 and 2 are the only ones that fit, didn't fall out and bother me. I never tried the AirPods 3, I'll try the 4s and hopefully they work like generations 1/2 did.

This answer truly depends on what type of headphones you like/want. For me I do not want the type of tips that are shoved in my ear like the Pros are. I really like the regular AirPods because they sit just outside/ slightly inside my ears. Even though people rave about the Pros I will never get them for as long as they have that type of ear bud/tip.

For calls the AirPods are going to be your best bet. For calls I prefer the AirPods over the AirPod Pros. They are more comfortable over the course of a day as they let your ears breathe, and you can better regulate how loud you talk because you can hear yourself. I’ve had just about every version, plus Sony, Bose, and other, but I recommend the new AirPod 4 with noise cancelling.

I've experimented a bit and settled on Beats Fit Pro. They are compact, stay in my ears perfectly (even when I do acrobatics), they integrate nicely into either (iOS/Android) ecosystem, they have decent battery life and, most importantly, they use physical buttons. AirPods are hit and miss. For me AirPods Gen 1/ Gen 2 were the best and stayed in my ears better while running, while AirPods Pro were falling out eventually. I've tried adding silicone wingtips for both of them and while it solved the falling problem, it meant that I had to put those wingtips onto the AirPods every time (because they don't fit into the case) and carry them with me somehow (again, because they don't fit into the case).

I'm glad that apple never stopped making non-sealed earbuds. I have ANC buds (samsung and google) that I use only at work desk and on the plane, swapping so I can charge one while using the other. When out and about I'd rather trade audio quality for situational awareness, and Airpods are the best ones that don't use sealing eartips.

dr_wtf • 11 days ago

Are you only using the Airpods Pro, or did you try the normal Airpods? Your post is unclear on this. If you have only used the Pro then the normal Airpods would probably be the simplest solution. A lot of people react badly to having their ear canal blocked. The normal Airpods don't create a seal, the Pros do. I have a set of Airpods (non-pro) specifically so I can avoid using IEMs too much. I also use flatheads a lot. If you think it's not the seal and is a problem with the plastic Apple is using, I'd recommend either the Yincrow Rhino (warm/bassy) or RW-2000 (bright-neutral) because those are made of metal. Also either of these sound better than the Airpods, as long as you don't care about wires (and they're cheaper too).

All buds are basically throwaway products unfortunately, just the base airpods ive seen are always gunked up with earwax which is the cause of the volume decrease in my experience. The AirPods pro's I've had (Both gen 1 and gen 2) were great and long lasting products, they have filters over the eartips so its harder for wax to become an issue too. If that's too much or you want to try another brand, I've moved to OnePlus Buds 3 and Pro 3 and they have been excellent for much less money too

I’ve used AirPods for 3 years now and I will say this While they work first, as your head/neck/face start to become sweaty so will your ears and holy is silicon really slippery on wet surfaces so they’ll move around and shift Also they aren’t technically rated for ear protection above 110 dBA. When driving at highway speeds, you have to increase the volume on your phone for sound to still be crisp and I have noticed my hearing has taken a slight toll due to that and I have started using the classic ol’ orange tips as a result that are rated for 32dB NRR since then

Very helpful! I can share the results of my own research, though I haven't yet purcahsed these. I think AirPods might be one of the better solutions for you. They have good sound quality and noise cancellation, but some people seem to complain that they don't fit or stay in well enough. They're lightweight and reliable, though, and the passthrough audio is supposed to be excellent which enables you to hear your surroundings if and when you need them.

I love everything about them after losing my Pixel Buds Pro without being able to actually locate them using the location process. Same issue with Apple Airpods.

I can't stand the case, I want them in my pocket but don't want to have to have cargo pants to keep them on me. I can't have a case hanging off of my belt loop, working in construction and having a 3 year old makes this a non-option.

Earplugs (good quality) + com. kit., the higher priced one have really good quality sound and you can ear it perfectly with your earplugs. Airpods will destroy your ears even more than just riding. You'll put them at full blast + the wind noise. It is asking to be deaf. You also have brand now that make earplugs with speaker Bluetooth. They cut up to 32dB. These are the same used by sound engineer at concert/festival. I don't remember the brand.

If you want to be able to use the mic, no. When using AirPods if you enable the mic, it switches the headphones to a lower audio quality (I think for bandwidth reasons?). Whatever the reason, the game will immediately sound like its occurring on the other end of a phone call until you disable the mic again. Id deff look at a cheaper wired headset, can get ones used for work at like walmart for pretty cheap.

imiyashiro • about 1 month ago

The difference is down to personal-preference, situation, and terminology. I use a pair of headphones with 'active noise-cancellation' and 'transparency mode'. They allow me to choose whether to eliminate (almost) all ambient noise around me, with or without listening to music or other media, OR to reduce the ambient noise and still hear if someone is trying to talk to me. I have found that using 'active noise-cancellation' helps me with other sensory issues (reduced pain sensitivity, anxiety, all probably related to the interplay of hyper-focus, monotropism, and interoceptive issues. Note, some 'active noise-cancellation' headphones will not stay on without an active media source. Try out the different types of noise-cancellation. SoundCore is a good entry point to try out the technologies at a lower price-point than the high-end stuff. I've tried out products from SoundCore, JBL, Beats, Apple, Sony, and Bose. For now, I've been very happy with my full-size over-the-ear Bose headphones for home use, and Apple AirPods for when I am out and about. I consider both therapeutic/assistive-devices for my sensory issues. To reiterate, I use my headphones in both your desired-use example (as quiet as possible), and in the case of a preferred sound/noise masking external noise/sound. I hope you find some relief.

The bone conduction ear loops like the Shokz will work a lot better if you use wind blocking strips on your helmet straps. It’s also better for your hearing, wind noise can damage hearing over time especially if you hit high speeds descending. And you can hear cars coming behind you or team mates talking better as well. They do make you look a bit like a Fred, but they work! I wear them on solo rides when no one is looking 👀 Fred = noob cyclist aka googan for fishing, kook for surfing, etc [https://wind-blox.com/](https://wind-blox.com/) AirPods have better sound quality, but I place these aftermarket silicone sleeves over them that make them stay in my ear much better.

Yeah it would be nice if you could tell the earbuds to silently die instead of beeping… Maybe changing the pillow is an alternative but I was kind of expecting technology to be advanced enough to make the earbud smaller 🤷‍♂️ (my current workaround is sleeping on my hand and/or giving the pillow an extra fluffing..)

I'm a bit disappointed with these as they keep falling out of my ears if I do anything more than a slow walk and when you use the controls it just loosens the fit further Tried my wife's airpods, and they're night and day It doesn't matter how good the features are if they don't stay in your ears.

Same. Some devices “snatch” Bluetooth pairing, and will force disconnect the AirPods from other devices when automatically pairing. Steam Deck and my Desktop PC always do this, which I don’t mind because it’s seamless and easy. When I want to switch them back to my phone it’s one swipe and a click which is way faster than going into deck’s Bluetooth settings.

Yes and no. AirPods only employ a seamless and trouble free connection and experience. That is it. Otherwise, a true audiophile would never disgrace themselves with the presence of AirPods on any level. If you’re looking for a a great experience, any real audiophile will tell you that only a DAC can deliver the results you want from music. This is why Apple Music in particular says that when using Lossless Audio at the highest setting requires a DAC and wired headphones. Otherwise, the quality is diminished over Bluetooth. However, in my experience, Bose, Sennheiser, and Sony are the top 3 I would choose. Bose being the first choice simply because I have more experience with those over the latter 2. But Sennheiser is a close second with Sony, as both of those brands offer professional studio quality options when using a DAC. The other option I may go for is AKG, in this case, a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds (believe it or not). All in all, Bose or Sony.

I noticed Apple's noise cancelation is horrible when it comes to phone calls. They seem to always cancel your own voice, so the person on the other end literally hears your surroundings over you.

Android user here; I bought air pods this year for music as I like the way they fit and noise cancelling in that style is rare - they should pair just fine with Android phones - you do miss out on being able to select which modes are on unless you have an iPad or old iphone - the headphones won't update without an apple device I couldn't get mine to pair out of the box though. I have an old iPad though, and that was helpful Once it did the firmware update, its been great, and I also use the ipad if I want to change settings. The nose cancelling is pretty good; gets rid of background noise per week while letting conversation through

_m0rk_ • about 1 year ago

I’d pay extra for the Pros, i’ve heard the regular ones are bad for your ears because they let sound through and you get the urge to turn the volume up to compensate. Plus the Pros are very comfortable. ANC and audio passthrough are amazing features. At home i use “proper” headphones but when i’m writing stuff on my laptop during downtime at work, i like to just connect my Airpods for convenience. I definitely wouldn’t recommend doing the mixing/mastering with them, though it’s good to have a range of devices to see how the song sounds across different devices afterwards. One thing to note - on Ableton when you open the settings and select the Airpods, there might be 2 different Airpods options. One of them is going to sound like cell phone call quality while the other one sounds normal so don’t worry about something being broken if it sounds like demons escaping from hell when you hit play. The only difficulty is getting Airpods to connect to windows, i forgot which one but i had to change a setting a long time ago in the device manager but after that, it’s been smooth sailing. (Except it’ll start to crackle occasionally but turning bluetooth off and on fixes that)

Everyones ears are shaped differently so I don't think there is an objective answer to this question, but I can give recommendations on what works for me. A lot of people like apple airpods but they hurt my ears within 10 minutes of wearing them, personally. I liked Bose earbuds for a long time but they have gotten more expensive, for a worse product in recent years. If you can find a second generation of their Quiet Comfort earbuds, they're pretty great, but still gonna be pretty pricey. The third generation cost about $300 and the quality is worse than the second gen. More recently I've found that I really love Altec Lansing Nanobuds. They're the same shape and level of comfort as the Bose earbuds, but they stay in my ear even better and they're waaaay cheaper. They're not quite as user friendly as the Bose are, as far as touch controls on the headphones themselves, but thats a small inconvenience for me. They also have a better battery life and cost about $60 as opposed to $150-$250 for the second gen Bose. Hope this helps. Good luck on your search for the perfect earbuds OP.

I am very happy with the Shokz Open Fit. They sound good and let outside noise in. These could be described as traditional ear buds but they have a gap between the speaker and the ear. I was not happy with the Shokz bone conducting headphones. My uncovered ears heard the usual wind noise while riding. To compensate, I had to turn the bone conducting headphones all the way up and that drowned out any important sounds anyway (cars approaching, etc…). So, I went back to Apple AirPods until I got the Shokz Open Fit. Honourable mention: The Meta Ray Ban smart glasses with integrated speakers sound great if you want to get smart sunglasses. My only problem with these is the thick frames mean craning my neck higher in an aero position. They would be excellent if you ride in an upright position.

I don’t have experience with the OpenFit, but I have the OpenRun Pro 2 and never notice the band.

I like how Shokz fit around my ears and I never have to worry about them slipping out on particularly sweaty runs, or putting pressure against my rook and tragus piercings, which was always an issue with buds. Is the sound quality as good as an ear bud? No, but it’s not terrible by any means. I almost didn’t purchase the OpenRun Pro 2s because of some reviews I read on sound quality. Right out of the box, it isn’t great, but you have to download the Shokz app and either customize the sound, or select one of their other sound quality options, just FYI.

I live in a condo and do this most of my time. I was using an armada of AirPods. They connect seamlessly with Apple products.

Their iPhone app makes them ultra configurable and having an eq is very nice. But the connectivity is not one click. Apple makes you go into the system menu everytime I switch from another source.

Good to know. I drive a lot for work and having Siri read my texts and being able to respond without having to take my eyes off the road was so handy and I've missed that since going back to my galaxy phone (but kept the AirPods bc the 1st gen galaxy buds didn't stay in my ears). Thanks again

Sigh, just lost my old earbuds and was planning to get the elite active 8 gen 2 or the elite 10 gen 2. Now I’m dubious at best. I expect 3 year warranty for products I purchase (living in sweden), seems I’ll at most get 2 year decent support and updates will likely be sporadic at best. Maybe better to try finding another brand. I’ve tried some other ones, airpods sit really bad and are uncomfortable. Sony sit decently comfortable but get pushed out easily, when smiling, talking or moving, especially once you get warm/sweaty. Jabra sit really nicely and comfortably and don’t slip out. Therefore they’re worth far more to me and audio quality is better due to a nice fit. I’ll have to consider things carefully. These earbuds aren’t cheap, I can get into the premium earbud category for every brand for this money. Wish it was easier to test a lot of different brands.

I've had many different models, and love TWS. Airpods, Clone Airpods, Qcy Ht05, etc.. In this moment I own a Huawei Freebuds SE 2 and a Huawei Freebuds 2 Pro and gonna be honest with you, 99% of the time, the "cool features" makes no difference. ANC, Transparency, Multiple controls in earbuds, auto stop when removed... in my experience, in the daily usage - which is GYM + Home Office work, I turn them on, plug in my ears and use them for music or conversation. The only things I would say REALLY matters is battery life and fit. And this last one you can't check through reviewers. You have to check by yourself. TL/DR - go with the one that best adjust to your budget and you like the most. Features you should care about: great fit and battery life.

I know what you mean about the AirPods. We hosted a virtual conference a few years back (all speakers on Zoom at home). Most used AirPods and it sounded tinny. I mean, Bose is always going to have the top-tier ANC (for now, anyway)... but they suck in so many other ways that it pisses me off. It's definitely subjective, yeah (plus you have to deal with fanboys - Apple being the worst). I just want the best... period. I'm willing to pay for it, but I'm not going higher than $400 for earbuds (or any headphones).

My phone usually takes priority when I open the AirPods case, so when I want to use them with another device (work laptop, Steam Deck, etc) I go to the Bluetooth menu on the other device and select the AirPods so it'll try to connect, and *then* open the AirPods case. This usually allows the device to connect to them before the phone snatches them up.

I am an audiophile. While the AirPods aren’t the best sounding earbuds, sound quality isn’t really the reason you buy earbuds in the first place. The AirPods to a great job in many regards, but it’s the features and ecosystem that make them great. If you have a Mac, iPhone, and iPad, then Apple headphones are a no brainer. It killed me to pay $500 for the AirPods Max, but I don’t regret it. Automatic switching between devices and calls is so nice.

These so much, I've been through many many MANY headphones trying to find comfy ones that are high quality, airpods fall out of my ears and don't get loud enough, others don't stay put, etc etc, these have fixed all of those problems with only 2 minor problems. 1 is mentioned above which is the app you have to download, it's a minor annoyance, but it might put some people off all the same. The 2nd problem is that because they are quite large and go over the ears, if you plan on using them while walking or exercising etc, expect your ears to sweat. Also like this person said, Amazon has them on sale all the time for around 50% off. Absolutely do not buy them for their full 300-400 dollar price, they usually go on sale for around 150-200.

As much as I dislike Apple products, I have to admit the call quality of their Airpods are almost unmatched. Look at every single remote interview you see on TV... 99% of the time the person calling in is using Airpods of some kind. It always sounds pretty good too. I've tried calling my friends with all my earbuds and they all have said the Airpods sound better on their end. My other buds tend to have a slightly muffled or digital sound. I don't generally use them to listen to music, but when I know I'll be on a long call, I'll switch to them.

Apple AirPods don't stay in my ear. Earbuds with silicone tips don't feel right to me (it feels like my ear is clogged / underwater). I'm looking for open-style wireless earbuds without silicone tips but also have wingtips to lock them into my ear. Why doesn't this exist? Years ago, Bose made a wired sport earbud that was PERFECT (the Bose SoundSport), but this line was discontinued. Do you have any recommendations? I've spent hours and hours searching for something but can't find the right set.

I haven't tried the newest ones but one of my gripes with an older generation Samsung buds is all the touch controls don't work through the cloth and the fit was really bad and they tended to fall out easily, I currently have a Google pixel so I'm using the pixel buds with them and they fit well, everyone's ears are different and especially with how a turban may press and your ears in a different way, it's hard to recommend something like this so generally I'd just recommend whatever works with your phone. The airpods have great fitting under turban, but horrible noise cancelling from what I've heard and also don't have a good mic so speaking or answering calls with them isn't the best. You also just lose out on features with each type you go with if you don't have the compatible phones they are designed for, you'll get Bluetooth connectivity across all of them but you won't get the virtual assistant on android with airpods or things like active listing and live translation with pixel buds with non Google phone etc. it's up to you what features you value more and what you're willing to sacrifice on, even if you have to go with a third party one that may fit better and work for your use case. For Comparison the headphones I use with my PC are from a company that makes amps just because those ended up being the best option for my use case.

IMO comfort and "stay-in-ear-ability" vary from person to person, and unfortunately the only way to figure out what works for you is trial and error.

airpods. i’ve never found headphones that were comfortable enough to hold alllll my piercings for 2+ hours. it gets uncomfortable to have some metal smooshed on my skin and it’s too much work to change my jewelry to make it more comfortable lol i have a conch, daith, tragus and forward helix on my left ear and most brands of ear buds are no problem for me

As a lot of people mention in this thread I think your best bet is AZ100 right now. Sony XM5 is old news now, but it's still decent. Bose is a good alternative for AirPods. AirPods are the most consistent earbuds for me. Just refer to [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/soundnation/comments/1in69fm/best_wireless_earbuds_2025_reddit_recommendations/) it has a bit more info. Also you might need to consider the new earbuds coming in the next few months.

MeHoyMinoy_69 • 2 months ago

100%, I've struggled with finding a balance for good music, ANC, and comfort. Air pods are the GOAT IMO. I've had probably 4 different pairs of JBLs that work great but don't last long. Either the dust gets to them or the case stops charging the buds even when clean. I'm currently using Jabra Elites that are honestly great, though I wish they stayed in my ears better when I'm in weird positions. Edit: adding that I do not care about industry standards, my job isn't OSHA involved and has no actual safety standards enforced.

Out of all flagship 15 pairs of earbuds from major brands I've owned and others I've tried. The Soundcore Liberty 4 has been the best sounding for me so far. With the flagship Sennheiser at second place. But for best transparency mode I'd say the airpods (horrible sound quality). And best ANC goes to the Bose imo.

P_Devil • 30 days ago

These are all mainstream enough that multiple reviews are available for each and comparison between them. The bottom line is that the Bose have the best overall ANC with the Sony and AirPods being roughly the same (so long as you use Sony’s foam hybrid ear tips). Bose and Sony have companion apps, AirPods don’t. You can’t EQ the AirPods while the Bose have a basic 3-band EQ and the Sony have a more advanced one.

In terms of audio quality, many models over $100 beat them. You only have to listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMSHB6cs1-U on a good pair of headphones to realize that Airpods are nothing special. Integration with the Apple ecosystem - sure, they're unbeatable. But not everybody uses Apple devices.

I use Airpods Pro 2 for work and music every day but always earplugs on the bike. Just tried the AirPods - incredibly uncomfortable. I'd argue dangerous too because you can't hear direction well with then whereas with my earplugs that only filter the harmful frequency, I can still hear the directions of sound somewhat.

Over the ear ones make my ears too warm after a while. AirPods seem to be the most comfortable since I forget I’m wearing them sometimes. The pro version has better sound but are uncomfortable after a while. It all depends on your ear shape. Some people can’t stand AirPods and some swear by them.

Having said that, for the first time in like 10+ races that I did in AirPods, one fell off when I was trying to adjust it. I managed to recover it without a problem, but I imagine I could 1) annoy a lot of people or even injure someone, when I would stop suddenly in a more crowded place, 2) lose/get AirPod destroyed, 3) get myself strained with a sudden different move. It was on 30k, the crowd was lose and I surprisingly didn't feel any drop in form after this, but it was a bad moment.

It depends on whether you want those headphones to use their mic. I exclusively take calls from my desk and don’t move my laptop so I have a dedicated mic on an arm. My AirPods only receive sound, they work flawlessly like that on Teams.

I dont really know but i can say that the airpods i got from them are pretty good. There is one annoying thing about them which is when u insert the airpod into ur ear it makes a noise to tell u that it has detected the fact that they are in ur ears but the problem with that is that the media which was paused will start playing not after the sound but during the sound so u just cant hear a little bit of the thing that just started playing. Dk if that made sense but yeah thats what happens.

They are a completely different design. AirPod Pros are closed-back, whereas AirPods are open-back. Which ones you get depends on your use case. AirPods for best sound quality and comfort and AirPods Pro for better separation from ambient noise and noise cancelling.
