"insane battery ... in the morning it's still not drained - and this is on a 6 year old set with worn out batteries. ... The case only needs charged once, maybe twice a month"
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."
"the battery life is phenomenal, it lasts over 10 hours (14-16 for me i think?)"

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

"They don’t go in your ears at all. they just kind of clip on gently and sit there. ... no pressure ... way more comfy than anything I’ve tried."
"The IEMs really stay in my ears thanks to the free Spring Tips. I shook my head really hard for a few seconds and it didn't fall out my ears."
"just clips on the outside of your ear and feels super light, no pressure at all."

The bass on the Oneplus side is Awesome 👍 👍 You Can't Achive that Tighter and Depp bass on this both Realme buds werher you use External or Internal Equalizer doesn't matter ... I really liked this Oneplus Sound"

"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."

"I take calls with it all the time and people hear me clearly, even in noisy spots."
"Way better than expected. The mic delivers clear voice pickup even during outdoor calls. Didn’t think I’d get this quality from something in this price range. ... The calling quality on these earbuds is quite good overall. Even with a fan running in the background (especially now in summer), the mic does a decent job of picking up your voice clearly. For regular calls, MS Teams, or WhatsApp, it works well without any major issues. ... The mic quality is decent for MS Teams and WhatsApp calls. Voices come through clearly on both ends. It's not studio-quality, but definitely reliable enough for work meetings and casual calls without issues."
"blocks background noise amazingly for its price."

"I’d love to be able to run in them, but they would never stay in my ears. ... I’m afraid I already have tried each pod size. ... I had the air pod pro before that and they were the same. ... I even bought extra / different size pods and they didn’t work. ... I think Apple designed them for the most common types, but they just do not fit everyone. I’m sadly one of those people. ... Having had this issue for almost 6 years, I would be reluctant to run with them now."
"The AirPods Pro always slip out after 1-2 minutes of use on the left side (for me). I'm still trying to find a solution for this. One that doesn't involve fiddling with the foam."
"I have tried a bunch of different eartips for my airpods pro, both foam and speciality combined rubber + foam and they grip pretty well. ... But I find that if the earbud has some kind of rubber ring or lip around the speaker casing they seem to stay much much better than if they just have a better replaced rubber tip. Because the whole speaker is otherwise kind of moving around inside the outer part of the ear and pulls the eartip out more and more during the day so I have to constantly readjust and push in the earbud."

"QC issues, on my 2nd pair and they have a strange white noise that occurs randomly. ... First pair left earbud white noise was bad and had to return. ... 2nd pair same left earbud white noise and I’ve returned them. All happened within a week of light use."
"every 60 seconds or so it shrieked for a couple of seconds in an electric staticy kinda way."
"the Tea Pro are absolutely terrible. ... I couldn't sell them quick enough. ... Utter dogshit & not 10% as good as the Tea 2. ... utter crap with horrific mids, dreadful bass & terrible treble"

so since i get wet earwax should i go with the 4 instead of the pros? i had the pros before and yes it would slip right out of my ear and it would feel wet afterwards. i have never used the airpods 4 before. i do have a pair of beats solo buds and its literally so perfect! which airpods would be most similar to the beats solo buds in shape and size?
r/airpods • AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods 4 ANC? ->I have both the Solo and Studio Buds and I love my clear Studio Buds.
r/beatsbydre • Thoughts on the Beats Solo buds? ->Not worth it, mid sound quality, no ANC, no companion app or EQ, and the case is just a case, not a charger. For the price you can get better. Hell, the jbl vibe beam 2 has ANC, an actual charging case, arguably better audio quality, considerably better build quality, a companion app with an 8 band customizable EQ and they’re even less expensive at $49.99 USD.
r/beatsbydre • Thoughts on the Beats Solo buds? ->Hahaha That’s the problem with earbuds. When I started caring about sound quality, I went from AirPods 3 to Beats Solo buds, returned them, got sony linkbuds S. Then, upgraded to the Samsung galaxy buds 3 pro. Then I got some Simgot IEM, then I tried AirPods Pro 2, Sony xm5, I’m now trying the JBL tour pro 3 and I just ordered the AZ100 to compare with JBL and finally stick to one. In short, I got in the rabbit hole of looking for my end game and got obsessed with it. There is always a newer or a more expensive one that sounds better than what you have.
r/Earbuds • Now that the hype around the Technics AZ-100 is over, are they really worth the money? ->Decent for the price but if you have 40 bucks more the Beats Studio buds blow these out the water Amazon has them for 99
r/beatsbydre • Thoughts on the Beats Solo buds? ->Same I use beats solo buds and the small tip
r/Earbuds • Struggling to find earbuds that fit my tiny ears that don't cost a fortune. ->I’ve had mine for a good while and never had one problem out of them. The battery lasts for a long time and they sound pretty decent. Not as good as studio buds plus but not bad either. They work great on phone calls. I’d recommend them if on a budget.
r/beatsbydre • Thoughts on the Beats Solo buds? ->I run A LOT myself. I would say headphones that work great for running/activity may not work great for podcasting. The jaw motion of talking is very different then the impact of running, so it causes headphones to actually move more in my experience. For running, I used Beats Solo Buds and then got cheap inner ear coverings on Amazon so they stay in my ear (I sweat a lot so the ear buds pop out easily), this helped for the podcast as well, but I was having to mess with them way too much during records becuase they kept shifting while talking; for that reason, I no longer use them for my podcast. I now use the Beats Solo 4 while podcasting. They are 100% less distracting for me while talking. I have long hair so if I wear it down, I will find myself adjusting that, but it's simply because it can make my hair look odd in the recording, nothing functionally wrong with the headphones.
r/podcasting • Podcast headphones that are wired and wireless ->I like them personally better than the AirPods. Music sounds good and it lasts a long time for me :)
r/beatsbydre • Beats Solo buds review ->I love mine they are amazing for the prize they are like the air pod 4s with battery life and sound just night as much mids but a bit more bass
r/beatsbydre • Thoughts on the Beats Solo buds? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
