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.

Bone conduction headphones are perfect for outdoor use or the gym, and Shokz are the best. For earbuds, I use Beats Studio Buds (option 3 [here](https://www.audiobooksgeek.com/best-earbuds-for-audiobooks/)). Three different ear tip sizes are included so you can choose what works for you. They fit securely and stay comfortable during long listening sessions.

I’m using Beats Studio Buds + and I can’t hear a damn thing outside of music. Great ANC.

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.

Hey everyone I’m looking to replace my aging and slowly dying Beats Studio buds since the case is no longer holding a charge. I have had these go 3 or 4 years now and before these used the Raycon everyday ear buds As I mentioned in the title I work in a factory setting fairly loud (stamping plant) I’m looking for a new pair and f earbuds in the 50-70 dollar range. I actually lost one of the raycons in the past and have dropped the beats from time to time so not looking for something more expensive I’d like a earbud that can get fairly loud, has decent battery life and has a case that can wirelessly charge if possible. Noise cancelling is a plus. I usually have to wear just one ear bud if that matters. I will also be using them when working in the yard or working out also. I was looking at the Tozo NC20 pros are those a decent pair of earbuds? Any other recommendations? I do want to say I like the fit and feel of the beats just looking for something different. Maybe something where I can change the EQ settings too. Thanks

Yes I wear an earplug in my other ear. The Beats Studio buds I have are fine but m just looking for something different. Plus when I got them I got them at like 50% off from Verizon. So looking at something a little cheaper

Ok so I ended up getting the Tozo NC20 Pro’s and so far they’re pretty uncomfortable in my ear. These are the first earbuds with a “stem” I’m trying the different size earbud covers. Any recommendations of earbuds without the stem part? $60 or less? How are th Tozo nc9 or the ear fin free pro 3’s those are the two I’m leaning towards now

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 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 :(
