"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"it sounds fucking amazing. ... I was blown away at Best Buy. I thought this was fake somehow like there is no way this thing is producing that bass and that level. ... The speaker is phenomenal. ... At first it was almost too bass heavy; but after an hour or two of playtime it broke in and the mids came alive, without loosing any bass. ... it still sounds fucking incredible."
"DIRAC which is like Dolby sound, so the soundstage is immersive and incredible. ... I could hear the orchestra turning the pages of their music. I could hear the hair of the bow as it glided across the bridge of a violin. It was like being in the middle of a concert hall. It was a little insane for this price range. ... The music had a broader soundstage back then in the studio...they took their time. Tweak your streaming service to lossless quality too, and then close your eyes and imagine the music happening TO YOU. Music should be a whole experience, not a time killer."
"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"

"Noise cancellation works great. ... I’m an attorney and need silence often when working, I will keep them in without anything playing at times because it does a great job with it."
"The R50i NC has a pretty good noise cancelling feature. it cancels out most noises, most especially the low and deep noises such as traffic. ... voices and conversations are ALMOST muted, if you're not listening to music and basically just using these as earplugs, you can still kinda hear people talk but you won't understand a lick of what theyre saying unless you're face to face. It kinda sounds like pressing a thick pillow over people's faces when they're talking. ... I like it, it works for me, especially since once you play music along with ANC, you won't be able to hear any of those little things that penetrate the ANC aside from ambulances and annoying fucking alarms playing on very loud speakers from your brother's PC"
"the transparency is amazing, which is nice for cycling on the road."

"The noise-reduction on these is really remarkable, both as a listener, but especially for the other person on a phone call. I can finally walk along the beach, with wind blowing in from the ocean, and people can hear and understand me clearly! That is what set me on a quest to find new earbuds, and Huawei freebuds pro 3 deliver! ... I can ride my bike in wind and traffic noise, listening to music or podcasts, and then answer a phone call without missing a beat, and the other person can hear me clearly. ... If you are looking for an earbud that will let you ride your bike on the boardwark, with ocean wind and people and traffic, and take calls effortlessly, where people can hear you clearly without having to stop or find shelter or hold your phone closer...the Huawei freebuds pro 3 are the way to go. ... So, yes. I am still happy with them, and they are awesome at being able to have a coherent conversation even while walking along a windy, noisy beach."
"A very nice phone quality with the best ANC phone call noise block ever seen in the world."
"I wanted really good call quality because I take a lot of calls when I'm on a call in central City, and they have been amazing. ... I take a call in a cafe full of people and crying kids and the other person can't hear a thing"

"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."

"The sound coming from the TOZOs sounded "anemic as fuck" and I couldn't get them to sound anywhere as loud and powerful as the others."
"The nc9 had no volume or bass even after adjusting the eq,"
"found them very quiet ... On my PC or on my IPhone."

"My Beats actually have pretty decent noise cancelling when there's constant sound playing through them (like music), but without any sound I can even hear whispers if they're within... I don't know, 5 meters? ... They're pretty great at filtering background noise (traffic, electronics humming, keyboards etc) but voices are still intense. ... but they are both inefficient when I just need quiet to be able to focus."

"on iOS, you don’t get to custom-eq them, other than presets that only work in Apple Music."
I tried the Beats Studio plus and I returned them, poor ANC and they didn't fitt in the ear
r/Earbuds • Earfun Airpro4 or Nothing ear(a) or Beats Studio buds+ ->I like the feel, look, and pretty sure the quality of sound is great... However, I think the highs and some mids are lacking and getting muddy. It could be personal preference since I came from Beats Studio Plus Buds and maybe those lean into that more. I just want the vocals and treble to shine thru more! So I just need to fiddle with the EQ or wait for someone more skilled than me to post their EQ changes.
r/Skullcandy • People who have received your Method 360 ANCs, what are your thoughts? ->Hi! I have huge noise sensitivity and work in a VERY loud open office. I've tried both Loops (ear plugs) and my earbuds - Beats Studio Buds + but they are both inefficient when I just need quiet to be able to focus. My Beats actually have pretty decent noise cancelling when there's constant sound playing through them (like music), but without any sound I can even hear whispers if they're within... I don't know, 5 meters? They're pretty great at filtering background noise (traffic, electronics humming, keyboards etc) but voices are still intense. Now, this is going to be for literally only when I'm at work. I don't care for the actual sound quality, I just need the best noise cancelling I can possibly get without playing noise. I actually hate headphones to death and love my earbuds, I will be still using those in my personal time. I'd also heavily prefer something wireless since I also hate cables (yay!), but if the noise cancelling quality and/or price differences are significant enough, I'm willing to go for wires as well. Since I don't even want to run sound through them and will only be using them at work, I'd love to go cheap but I'd much rather have something truly efficient because the overstimulation ia causing me huuuge irritability :( I hope I mentioned everything. Thank you so much in advance and if there's any more details I can provide, please do tell!
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Best noise cancelling without sound playing? For AuDHD with noise sensitivity ->I have considered these. I just switched to the S25 Ultra and looking for a replacement for my AirPods Pro 2. I already have a set of Beats Studio Buds+ and overall I like those, but they’re lacking some of the convenience features of stemmed ear buds. Do the OnePlus have volume control on the stem?
r/Earbuds • Please suggest me the best Earbuds in this price range ->I spent a bit over $200 on my app2 a few weeks ago and have been loving them. I never really wanted wireless buds because i had some jbls before and they were meh, but someone at work raved about noise canceling so i got some beats studio buds + and they were alright but uncomfortable and a few glitches here and there. From being able to always just put them in, not fell them, and they work flawlessly for me so far it is everything I wanted. The app3s just seen like minor improvements just like each new iphone, apple watch, etc so unless you are a health nut the additional data would most likely be next to useless for you. At this point if I were to upgrade it would be because my app2 broke after my 2 year apple care runs out, or to get the airpod max.
r/airpods • Airpods Pro 2 or Pro 3? ->I have both the Solo and Studio Buds and I love my clear Studio Buds.
r/beatsbydre • Thoughts on the Beats Solo buds? ->Beats studio buds + is at $99 today. Great pair to have. Amazon Target
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds you can purchase on amazon under $150? ->My recommendations are the Beats Studio Buds + or the Soundcore A40. Same quality as the AirPods and a bit cheaper.
r/NoStupidQuestions • Does anyone know of any cost efficient yet high quality earbuds? ->I know their reputation but the Studio Buds + are actually good and hold up well.
r/NoStupidQuestions • Does anyone know of any cost efficient yet high quality earbuds? ->Recently bought Bose QC Earbuds (the recent version, not the old QC nor QCII) and I am overwhelmed by the quality of sound and ANC. I've been particularly looking for something that sounds decently but will not break the bank either. So during the recent Amazon days I tried Apple Airpods 4 and Pro 2, Beats Studio+, Bose QC, Sony WF c710, and Creative Aurvana Ace 2. Firstly, one certainly really needs to try the earbuds before buying. I found all the rankings and reviews to be way disconnected from how the earbuds actually sound. Awards, Editor's Choices and all that PR has nothing to do with the actual product. From the models I tried, only Airpods Pro 2 were close to Bose QC. Marketed Beats, Creative Aurvana with the innovative driver, Sony, all sounded worse than my 7 year old Phillips 2515 earbuds which I bought for $25 on sale long time ago. Bose QC play lows and highs clearly, there is a sense of immersion in the music, I could actually hear the singer's breath and the detail of the song (I used the same song to test all the earbuds). Again, the only earbud which has comparable quality of sound was Airpof Pro 2. Same with the noise cancellation function. Beats QC turned off the noise instantly. Only Apple (both Airpods 4 and Pro 2) had comparable ANC, although I think Bose was slightly better. But the difference between Bose and Apple's ANC is negligeble. Comfort of wearing earbuds also differs, but this is idiosyncratic and is another reason why we should be able to try erabuds before buying (a lot of stores do not allow you to return earbuds unfortunately, so it could be hit or miss). I found Bose to be comfortable enough although not perfect. Yet, I value their sound quality more. Overall: \- Bose makes surprisingly good earbuds in mid-price range. \- So many brands just sell mediocre earbuds at $100+ prices, and reviews are not really helpful, which makes me sad. \- Please try earbuds before buying them or writing reviews. They are soo different. Some are great, many are not. I'm glad I found mine.
r/Earbuds • Praise to Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds (recent, 2025 version) ->Are this exact moment, the Beats Studio Buds + are on sale for like $100. I’m no Beats fan, but the call quality in loud environments is what I bought them for. I watched a ton of videos where folks tested out various earbuds and these seemed to do the best for $100 right now - I’m happy to be proven wrong cause beats are so douchy
