Pros sound better I have them and don’t use them much (sometimes when I’m outside for an hour or two). I just hate the feeling with silicone tips inside my ears (tried different brands and it was the same or worse). I loved AirPods 2,3 and now just bought 4s with ANC (actually haven’t unpacked yet). I also really like Samsung LiveBuds - I think those are much better than people say.

Wish these had come out a few months ago when I bought my Pro 2's. They work well but the silicone tips make it difficult to wear (for me) for hours on end. My AirPods 3 did not have this issue. Alas, they did have the issue where I left them in an airport never to be seen again.

I have 3 pairs because I love them so much. My first pair I had for years and years then the battery started to go downhill so I bought a cheap set of gen2s and put them in my old wireless charging case and voila I have a set I use in the house and on runs and I have a set for the car when I forget my main pair. My 3rd set was given to me with my work phone so now I have a set at work too. Woo love me some gen 2s. I ended up buying the gen3 but I can’t wear them. They literally sit and collect dust

Pros never stuck in my ears plus are uncomfortable for my liking. I’ve also had the 3rd gen which I’ve always liked the fit of so much more. I went with the AirPod 4s and am really happy w it. The audio is very clear and crisp compared to the 3s. Obviously these are just not going to be up to par if you are a real sound wizard but if you are just a casual user of AirPods, I highly recommend the 4s. I am happy with my purchase.

My ears are too small for the silicone, it flops out of my ear in a short time. I have the 3. After 5 months my right pod isn’t working properly. The sound is 10% while the left pod works works fine. I have a warranty so I brought it to the store were I’ve purchased it. I’ve lost it for 3 weeks. Only yesterday I got a mail about my pods being ready for pickup. Once I got there, they told me that apple couldn’t find malfunctions to my AirPods. I let the men in the store test it and he could immediately hear the problem. So.. it’s being sent back to apple and I will have to wait for another e weeks. I won’t recommend apple AirPods to anyone. I never used it durning the rain.

AP Pros were too good with the ANC/silicon tips. For me it was very disorienting to wear them. Went back to my AP 3. Will probably get the AP 4 w/o ANC just because I don’t care about that enough to pay the extra $50 for that and the wireless charging.

AirPods 4. I have no issues running with noise cancelling where I run (although you can turn it off and there is a lower priced version without it), but I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon. I've run in the rain with them, and run them through the wash (accidentally!) a few times, and occasionally wear them in the shower and they still work great. But if they'd just make AirPods 2 with a USB-C charging case and noise cancellation I'd go back to those in a heartbeat lol

AirPods 3. It’s a cheap crap, I will never buy an Apple earbuds/headphones again. Sounds worse than 50% cheaper earbuds from other manufacturers and mine got broken just right after the warranty period. 12 months warranty and the right bud broke in 13 months, the left one in 14 months.

Just get regular AirPods. You can hear your surroundings and they are very reliable and can handle water I’ve had the same pair for over 2 years and have ran 3 marathons with them. Several pouring rain runs as well. Gen3 is what I use, but there’s a newer and better version out now They work flawlessly with my phone, truly seamless. I also use them throughout the day when I’m not running, try doing that with those fugly shockz.

I mean, the regular AirPods 3 without Noise Cancellating are more expensive and simply do not sounds as good. If you check any comparisons, you will see that the nothing ears are easily competing even with the Air Pods Pro wich are more expensive and for me personally they do not fall out that often because they have those in ear things. With the nothing ears comes a well tought-out app, which really allows to change sound in any way you like,so yeah, not paid promotion.

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.

I tried them in the store today. I’m currently on the AP2, which fit great in my ears. I bought the AP3 but they fell out of my ears constantly so I got rid of them within days. I’d say they feel a lot closer to AP1/2. I only tried them in the store for a couple of minutes though so not sure if I’d say they’re slightly better/worse or same. But they’re definitely a lot better than the AP3’s.

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.

I know this sounds basic but AirPods seem to be one of the best earbuds for reliability in this exact situation. Many earbuds I’ve had have ran into the one ear stops working problem, but I’ve had 4 different models of AirPods and this never occurred. If you’re not an iPhone user then any of nothing’s earbuds will do good, I’ve seen that they don’t run into issues often. Beats fit pro also was very reliable for me, so I can vouch for those too. IMO stay away from Sony, Bose, and sennheiser when it comes to earbuds. I’m not sure why but they cannot seem to get their reliability under control

I still can only use airpods 2, which were the same shape as 1. I bought the airpod 3s and the airpod pro2s and could use neither and sent back, really hurt my (small) ears. Are the 4s different to the 3s shape-wise? I have the airpod max which are great but I don't use those for sleeping or podcasts.

Starting cheap to expensive, these are what I recommend from buds I've tried or used before: 1. Erazer X11, shaped as open concept, this thing hangs on your auricula. Sounds balanced following Harman. This is an $8 that I randomly stumble and happened to have very good sound quality especially for sub $20. I think the low-mid has bad reproduction but everywhere else the sound is great. Also the battery is huge around 10h playtime per earphone. 2. Moondrop block, has classic Moondrop tune which follows rthing target band. Sounds really good, surprisingly delivers bass enough for an on-ear earphone. The low price of $18 is hard to miss. Also happened to have 140ms SBC latency which is usable for gaming. 3. Redmi Buds 5, classic bassy tuning which is surprising for a half-ear. But anyway you get what you pay for. I personally won't pick this and skip ahead to >$60, although this one only cost $28. 4. Xiaomi buds 5. $60, this is clearly in the premium spectrum of half-ear. You can expect the best of the best and this guy delivers... For a price of course. 5. Apple Airpods 3 or 4, clearly the standard for apple. The sound while being clear feels lacking in power (?) not tinny but definitely not as good as I thought. Only pick this if you have an iPhone I guess. This is very expensive in my country so check yours. Either way this limited selection hopefully fits your budget. I was personally surprised with X11 being very cheap while giving an amazing build quality and has too long of battery life. The purpose was for my mom's zoom call but ended up being a good music enjoying earphone. Generally going very expensive on half-ear doesn't make that much sense because sound quality wise they plateau'd really quickly, getting a high bitrate connection like LDAC just didn't give you the extra detail or dynamic for half-ear.

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

The case is ok, just get used to it, its just a matter of habit.

The last place go to Airpods pro which I gave to one younger relative and he was happy.

Some people find the silicon tips more comfortable than the hard tips.  Some people feel the exact opposite.  There’s no single answer. It’s completely up to personal preference. It’s not something any of us can answer for you. You have to find out for yourself.  Personally, I find the Pros are more comfortable, more secure in my ears, and give me better sound isolation than the standards. But I know that’s not everyone else’s experience.

For me, it’s AirPods for calls and the Sony over the other headphones for everything else.

I am really considering the apple headphones but I’m not sure if I can justify £500 for something that I can’t wear as freely as AirPods. I’m quite sweaty and I use my AirPods in the gym and when at work in construction…so realistically they’re going to get a brutal combination of sweat and construction dust daily which will rip them to shreds. My AirPods have received that combination and they’re still going strong after 4 years. I’ve even worn them in the pool…not directly in the water but pretty close.

For all I know, AirPods always are the best earbuds on the market no questions asked. They’ll work perfectly with the MacBook and iPad but you will need to manually connect them every time on your oneplus and you lose out on some features like Spatial Audio. ANC is the best in the market right now for open earbuds. Sound quality is perfect if they fit your ears well. I have used AirPods with an android and a windows PC too, they still delivered excellent sound quality. Just note that if you’re using your AirPods on your android and you start playing something on your MacBook or iPad it will pull the connection from your android to it. Although I think this can be turned off

If you have the budget for it, AirPods saved my life. They’re surprisingly customizable and can be switched from straight noise cancelling to noise reducing by just squeezing them.

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

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.

If you are on iOS the AirPods are absolutely worth the investment. I call it investment cz I know that shit is expensive. I tried galaxy buds pro but quickly realised that my ear shape is such that stemless earbuds don’t stay in at all despite trying different bud cover size. I like AirPods because they don’t give me trouble as “sweatslikeapig” person, the noice cancellation is superior, they automatically shift between my iPad and phone the moment without me having to manually change. The head tracked, Spatial Audio and multiple modes of sound suppression/cancellation are added benefits. P.S. I wish they paid me to write such raving recco for them but sadly they don’t and this is coming purely from experience after trying multiple earbuds from the price range of 1K to well 21K.

I know you said you wanted to buy some but I still wanted to point out If you already have airpods. Then save your money and use those. I was going to spend some money on earbuds but there is a plugin called magic pods on decky loader that lets you control pretty much everything about the air pods. You can set noise cancellation etc from the plugin as well .

I've already tested an Earfun, and I found the construction material to be very similar to Soundcore, so this already wins a lot of points, this model has 2 high-resolution codecs, if you prioritize sound quality, LDAC is the best option. They say that the audio of the CMF plus is even better than the Pro version, but it doesn't have dual drivers, the Earfun doesn't have it, but the set is complete, now the Oneplus doesn't even compare, it uses LHDC 🤢, it will prioritize stability, and probably in games it will be in SBC, I like to play while listening to music, I don't use streaming, I have my Flac files, so playing the sound seems like a poorly tuned FM radio, I tested the Airpods, and at least In it, nothing special, a headphone with AAC, I don't know if there is much difference in sound quality when used with Apple, I've never used an iPhone, I think the sound is full-bodied, good definition, like the Galaxy B2pro, so for me it's a very expensive headphone, but it only delivers AAC, Soundcore Liberty 4 does a wonderful job, I imagine the L5, I'm going to test the CmfPro2, but already thinking about the L4 pro or L5 😁

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.

Idk sometimes it’s necessary for situations, I buy the cheap ones for work because I am a dog groomer and KNOW that they will only last a short period because one will go missing or get dropped in water or something and genuinly it is better to spend $9 hours then $100, still aggrivating when 2 days in one side doesn’t play.

Dude, Samsung galaxy buds 2 has a good rating doesn't mean every TWS is better than every wired iems. Compare prices, use logic. For eg i have Letshouer s12 n it sounds better than Airpods or xm5, n it certainly sounds better than Buds3. TWS have other feature like Noise Cancellation, bluetooth, battery, ambient mode etc.. but dont compare them for sound quality. Because most of them have small drivers. I knw Crinacle is legend n i have bought some of my gear based on his videos but still i would beg to differ atleast for my set of ears.

I have at home right now: Airpods because I sold my iPhone. Oneplus buds 3 Pro because I bought Oneplus 12. Today I bought Samsung Buds 3 Pro because I bought S24U yesterday. I will sell the Airpods because I don't own anything after 15+ years from Apple and feel right now that there will be nothing more from them. Oneplus 12 I read a lot about on Reddit and YT and it would be a mobile that was the best of all on the market (that's the impression I got) but in my opinion the reality is something else. I sold fairly new Oneplus 12 after 5 days and Oneplus Buds because they felt cheap and sounded bad. I have to say that the Oneplus Buds sounded much better with the S24U but still sold them because the sound I was not happy with. Today I tested and bought the Samsung Buds 3 Pro because they sound great together with the S24U. I have some much more expensive in-ear both closed and open back headphones here at home and can compare a bit, but the Samsung Buds feel solid and sound quite nice.

They are truly fantastic when considering all the bells and whistles that come along with the device.

Have been riding with my AirPods for about a year. I got tired of fiddling getting them in, finding one when it fell out taking the helmet off, etc. they worked fine, but it was a time question. I got sick of spending 10-15 minutes getting gear on and configured before a ride. Got a Cardo spirit hd last week. Already had decibullz for concerts, and they stay in very well. So it’s them, Cardo on, helmet on, quick release to fasten, glasses back on, moving. I tested with one of the $<20 Knox offs as a proof of concept, and even that worked pretty well. Just limited volume, flakey connection, and useless mic while at speed.

Beats is owned by Apple so they work just the same as AirPods. It depends on your budget and what you use them for mainly.

imiyashiro • 4 months 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.

Also I swear wearing ear buds long term (like few hrs a day) causes ear wax to stay in the ear and not work its way out the way it would if we didn’t have something shoved in our ear.

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. Whenever I'm taking a call when outside, I have to disconnect my airpods and use the phone regular so they can hear me.

Airpods are expensive, yeah, but they work. They fail a BIT if lots of people are talking, sometimes that leaks through, but generic train noises, etc.? Flawless. They make flying so much easier - I have them on during a flight and I take them off and it's like this caged roar just comes back into my ears the second Ido.

I have 2 pairs of Pixel Buds A series. I love how they feel in my ears. I get overstimulated kind of easily and sometimes put them in my ears to quiet the surroundings w/o anything playing. - yes, I have 2 dif kinds of loop earplugs and I still prefer the PBs. - I bought airpods & airpod pros for work (MacBook). The airpod Pro is similar in quality to the A's IMO. The regular Airpods with no cushion annoyingly fall out of my ears. - I thought I lost my PBs and could only go for a WEEK without them. I was incredibly sad. Of course I found them after I purchased their replacement. - The PB app on the Pixel is fine. Tells you charge status, you can adjust a couple of settings. - I'm not big on noise cancelling so I didnt feel the PB Pro was worth the extra expense. Cons - If I'm in the same room as my Google home device, and I ask it to set a timer (weekly, for cooking), my Pixel phone will respond. I always, always hit "wrong device responded" on the Google Home but it doesn't fix the issue. - I wish I could adjust the volume like I can with wired earbuds, but that is a semi unrealistic expectation. - The volume sometimes doesn't go quiet enough when I'm in a quiet room. I have started using the adaptive sound setting in the PB app, and it helps a little bit. It is NOT quiet enough for me to wear them to fall asleep. I bought a Hoom band for that purpose, but not really that comfortable. Pixels: current 9; prev 6P, 2.

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

Bose QC ultras are great. Good sound quality and excellent noise cancellation. Fit & Comfort is very personal, but Bose ultras are really comfortable for me, along with Apple AirPods. If sound quality is a preference, i wouldn’t touch Airpods. This can also be a personal preference, but even some cheap $30 earbuds sound better for me than AirPods pro 2. But they are really comfortable and have good ANC and works well with Apple echo system. But if you can try them before, that will be better as sound is inferior , at least for me.

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.

You managed to keep them until they broke down?!!! So you are 'the one'. airpods are nice because you hold open the case and they link up. Sound wise, I vastly prefer my  WF-1000XM4, but. . . I got them for $100 and I don't think that happens often. (whoops! Amazon has them for $109 renewed/refurbished). But man, not having to futz around with pairing every time apple updates an OS. . . that's super nice. Oddly, I find myself using the airpods not because they are better, but for fear of losing my Sony's. Even though the replacement cost of the airpods is roughly the same.

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.

But when comparing the difference in performed from regular vs pro of Apple AirPods there is really not a significant difference in feel and comfort to make the pro non useable but the non pro useable.

But your experience should be the exact reason why you SHOULDN’T recommend them. Not liking rubber tips is a personal choice. Ear/Airpods not fitting is an issue with the PRODUCT, not a choice. It’s shit design that should’ve died a decade ago Also EarPods sound signature changes so much on how you place the in your ears and whether they are “sealed” or falling out bc they are smooth plastic. If you tilt EarPods more inward, you get more treble. If you tilt them outward, you get more bass. OPs question is about what he should use to mix with, you NEED a consistent sound signature and seal to mix properly, making EarPods and non pro AirPods totally useless for this

I’m saying my point still stands.

Yall out here giving poor advice to someone and have no reason other than “they’re popular” when my advice of using AirPod pros are popular, consistent sounding, AND are better in every objective way than non-pro AirPods.

My daughter has misophonia so I have a lot of experience here. For everyday use, AirPods are sufficient. Very easy to use and you can still hear a little of what’s going on around you. Sony WX1000M4 for a stronger cancellation. It has the side benefit of signaling to the people around you that you are trying to focus. Sometimes she will use the Sony over the AirPods for complete silence. You didn’t ask for it, but the best purchase by far for us has been the Soundcore sleep earbuds. They are amazing.

I just checked the prices on those and trust me, I’ve been buying Bluetooth since the single QCY mini 2 that had micro usb on the buds. Fun fact: I remember wanting wireless earbuds so bad in 2014, I got 2 of’em, paired each of them individually to my 2014 MacBook Air and BOOMM! I basically had what Apple did years later with the AirPods. After those I got the QCY T1, T2, T3…until the AirPods got released. Then I switched to apple! And if there’s 1 thing I learn, it is, nothing under $70 is worth it unless it’s temporary. Like a few month ago I lost the right side of my AirPods Pro and since I wasn’t interested one their 2ndneed time to thoroughly research replacements, I got the TOZO anc earbuds for $30 in the meantime. However they were so bad, I quickly got the Nothing ear 2024 for over $100 and I dont miss my AirPods Pro no mo’!

Not exactly what you asked for, but when I’m in an environment that I *really* need to drown out, I wear Loop earplugs under my noise cancelling headphones (Bose Quietcomfort Ultra) with the sound turned up high. I have many kinds of Loop earplugs so I choose depending on the amount of cancellation I need. They lay pretty flush to the ear.

AirPods didn’t work for me because they’re not ideal earbuds for workouts, so I flipped the script: I travel with high-end workout headphones (Jabra Elite 8 Active) which not only work great for the gym, but also casual use and transit. The gen2 model can connect to non-Bluetooth in-flight entertainment for a neat party trick. While the ANC of AirPods Pro is hard to beat, I realized that “good” ANC is truly sufficient a majority of the time and not worth obsessing over. Downside is that Jabra is pulling out of the consumer headphone market, but this headphone is still worth a buy for a few years.

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.

Apple is probably the most overpriced product on the market today, including the Airpods. I had an opportunity to try them, and I was surprised by how unremarkable they were. The sound quality was meh, as was most of the other options. The only thing that was alright was the ANC, but you don't need to look very far to find other earbuds that are just as good, if not better, for half the price. The ecosystem is just a gimmick imo.

I've never experienced that issue using my airpods. When I disconnect my airpods there is a pause but it is only momentary and the program starts playing without any user interaction. What version of TvOS do you have installed on your AppleTV? Have you tried deleting the pairing and pairing the devices again? Maybe reboot the AppleTV? If nothing else, use this as a reason to purchase airpods. 😎

AirPods are my first wireless earbuds. The noise cancellation, sound clarity is phenomenal. However the bass sounds are nonexistent, my 30$ EarPods have much better bass sounds. So if you listen to a lot of bass-heavy music, stay away from these. I had to spend a lot of time with equalizer to make them usable.

Personally, every single version of the AirPods (apart from the max) hurt my ears after minutes of use.

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. As I go from room to room, Apple will ask what to connect to with one click. I tried some JBL Bluetooth earbuds and over the ear headphones. They sound fantastic. 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. (There is no blue tooth shortcut) JBL costs one tenth of AirPod Max. But has its trade offs.

Noise canceling ear buds act more like ear plugs than noise cancelling. As the sampling mics are blocked so the buds do not send the proper canceling sound wave. But as they do act as earplugs. They do reduce noise. The bad thing with earbug is they can fall out of poistion and be ome super annoying that you need to stop and re insert them. And they do fall out when removing the helmet. Especially full face one. Before good quality bluetooth comm, i use sameaung buds. And they hit the ground on numerous occasions. I have never looked back since going with bluetooth comm kits. My airpod and samsung bud pro are for when I am off the bike. And they last way longer then. 14 hr vs 3 before you need to put the buds back in the case for charging

Tbh, if you think you’re gonna buy wireless earbuds once and be set for a long time, you're kidding yourself. They've got batteries that are hard and sometimes impossible to replace so you're lucky if they don't give out after a couple of years. Anyway, if you're an iphone user id say that airpods are a much better option for you out there. It's not just because of the sound quality, the connection is pretty convenient too. You just open the case, plug them into your ears and you're good to go. However if you're an android user, any good earbud would do the job imo. But you need to know that not all earbuds are created equal. There are some really good products out there, and there are some truly dreadful ones. I'd advise you to avoid those cheap wireless earbuds on the market coz good wireless earbuds don't come at bargain basement prices.

I always use Apple Buds as a point of reference. You can pick up the 3.5mm ones for like $15 new still. I feel like they sound close enough to airpods to be relevent.

Yeah the pros are more in ear (rubber tips) and the regulars are just a plastic that don't really go inside your ears. Some people prefer one over the other. I haven't listened to the pros, but I imagine they sound a lot better simply because in ears always do due to physics. They create a tight seal in your ear and you get better bass response/noise isolation. I'd assume more people use the regulars though, although pros are still really popular. Apple buds were my go to because they used to come with any ipod/iphone you buy new so everyone and their brother had a pair. And they were really solid for free earbuds. Now airpods are just popular because 1. A lot of people just stick with Apple products and 2. They pair really easily and integrate with iPhones.

The connection/device switching is amazing, but only if you’re all in on the Apple ecosystem. If I’m watching tv with the AirPods, but I get a call on my phone, as soon as I hit answer on the iPhone, it instantly switches to the calls audio. The second I hang up, it switches back to the Apple TV. I’ve had XM4’s that did the same thing, but it took 10-15 seconds to fully switch devices most of the time and I could never reliably get them to connect to the Apple TV. Automatic pairing is also pretty much instant, where the XM4’s took about 10 seconds.

I thought so too before trying (and afterwards buying) them, so I don't blame you. But you're so wrong. Those things are friggin awesome. Sometimes you have to let go of old thinking patterns and be open for new things. They're extremely well tuned (albeit a bit mainstream, which is totally expected from Apple product) and have surprisingly good technicalities. They're not worse than wired IEMs around and even above that price range, but additionally are extremely lightweight and comfortable, provide best-in-class noise cancelling and other really useful features and a long-lasting battery. I love my 550 bucks wired IEMs and would probably say that they sound better than the APP2, but they definitely don't sound at least twice as good as the price suggests and they're wired, not as transportable, not as comfortable and don't have noise cancelling.

After trying the Sony XM5, Bose QC and AirPods, I found that neither of them could block out background noise effectively or provide a clear mic for calls.

AirPods are the best piece of technology I have experienced in a long time. I can take them everywhere. I use them when I work out, at work, at home, as I travel. They are with me everywhere. If they could just stay in my ears better during workouts LOL. JK, I'm giving them a hard time. Some of my workout includes being upside down, that's a hard ask. I considered the Beats Pro 2, but I think the AirPods have been ANC and call quality. Those are a bigger deal than dealing with them sometimes coming out during the 30 minutes I'm working out.

I just bought Shokz open run pro 2 and have been quite happy with the sound quality despite being "open" ear head phones. Very light, I have them on all day at work.

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 have the xm5 over ear headphones and love it. I’m not sure I trust the earbuds though for the price as I went through two pairs of XM4’s while using them only in the gym. I ended up going with AirPods this time around and I’m happy with them overall. My only gripe is you can’t customize the EQ so I can’t adjust them to the Harman Curve or other EQ profiles I found useful. But they do sound very good for what they are.

I had a similar worry when I started wearing AirPods.

I do wear either a visor or cloth hair band and https://preview.redd.it/17ae49pgqg0e1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9944b0b16548e1946957b377057a046549ba29c7 put it over my ears when I’m in situations where it would be very bad if the AirPod fell out, usually when I’m in water.

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.

I had them for a week and returned them cause they were really uncomfortable. I switched to the Bose QCEs and it made me realize how flat sounding AirPods really are. The customizable EQ on other Earbuds helps so much. Only good thing about AirPods is that they are very easy to use on iPhone whereas with other earbuds you’ll need an app to function certain things. But that’s a trade off I’m happy to make for better sound quality.

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. I bought $500 worth of earbuds / open-ear buds and ended up returning them all because I couldn't find anything more comfortable than my regular airpods. I wanted to love the Bose Ultra open earbuds because the design is very creative, but ultimately I couldn't get past the "jiggling" sensation of them bobbing on my earlobe.

if you are buying wireless earbuds regardless of budget and expect not to buy for a long time you're kidding yourself . they have a battery that wont be easy to replace if possible at all so they have a life of a couple of years max if you're lucky . AirPods while good are not that much better than the Earfun air pro 3 . the pro 4 if you play your music from something other than an iPhone otherwise youre wasting money on upgrading beyond the 3 because your phone likely doesnt output a compatible format to take advantage of the improved codecs . if your insistent on something fancy then the bower and wilkins Pi8 sound beautiful but they have a shellfire as I say . each to their own

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.

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.

I have mine 3-years old, use them daily and battery is so-so. But they made it through sub 3:30 with no sweat.

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 think the bass on AirPods is great. Especially the max. Compared to Samsung and Sony headphones and buds, way better.

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.

I would just get the Pros, they last you several years, they pay back themselves. But if you're allergic to the earbuds (like a friend of mine) then get the regular ones.

I love the Shokz Open Run! The only time I wear my Airpods instead is if it's cold enough to need a hat or ear warmers, because they don't fit great under those.

Second this. The pro 2 is exceptional. I run and walk the dog in them. Super safe and great audio. For the gym, it’s AirPods all the way.

Did you find they lasted the entire marathon? My AirPods died about 2 hours into Chicago for me, and I had them charging the whole night before 😅

Aftershocks are good. I use AirPods and they’ve worked fine for the last 6 years.

That's not apple fanboy stuff unfortunately. They are indeed in another league compared to anything else with open design. The rule of thumb is if it's open, it's somewhat ass. New airpods are downright decent
