I love Beats Studio Buds. Great sound quality and noise cancelation. You can also use the Transparency Mode if you want to hear the surroundings. I also used JBL Vibe Beam and loved them. You can check my review [here](https://www.audiobooksgeek.com/best-earbuds-for-audiobooks/) for details.

I love Beats Studio Buds (option 3 [here](https://www.audiobooksgeek.com/best-earbuds-for-audiobooks/)). Sound quality and noise cancelation are amazing. I love the Transparency Mode for outdoor use. It comes with 3 sizes of ear tips so you can choose the ones that are comfortable for you. I also like JBL Vibe Beam. So I will choose between Beats Studio Buds or JBL Vibe Beam.

I have both of these. I like the liberty 4 feature set better. But I keep getting a wear sound with the bass drum like super punchy. The beats have an overall more balanced sound to me.

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

I like my beats buds. Noise canceling. The battery goes down over time but I’ve accidentally washed them like 3 times and they still work!

Beats Studio buds have worked well for me for years now. If you’re lucky, you can find some in your local Walmart for $70. As for charging, I use my laptop charger so it’s so convenient for me. Can’t remember what the charging cable that it came with looked like as I know sometimes they can come in a super short inconvenient cable.

I know this gets posted every year or so, but since earbud models change so frequently, old posts aren't very helpful. I can't wear over-the-ear headphones. Every pair I've worn feels like my upper ear cartilage is being pressed into with a knife. I don't think there's any headphones that won't do this, as even sleeping on my ear on a pillow can do it. I don't know if I've only tried earbuds with bad ANC, but I've hated every minute of it. My last pair of earbuds that I liked were Soundcore Spirit Dot 2s, but Soundcore doesn't make any earbuds without ANC now. I don't want transparency mode; I just want no ANC. I currently have a pair of Beats Studio Buds, and they're okay but not very comfortable and not great sound. Wireless is pretty nonnegotiable, as I am not threading an earbud cord down my shirt daily.

I have beats pods? (or whatever they’re called in pink)

Yeah I stopped using them because I took one out + my dog ate one up (just badly chewed it) so I wanted these instead solely based on the color lol Theyre basically the same except, you can’t turn them down with the a simple tap like you can with AirPods + you have to actually push the pods to skip + pause, you can’t just tap like AirPods :(

The sound quality is 5/5 but after a month or so you will be plagued with charging issues.
