Pi6

Love my budgets Pi6. Fit is great and the sound for the price is amazing.

100% agree, got my Pi6s on sale and the sound is brilliant

I wear headphones while working and doing yard work so this advice is from someone who gives several hours of use every day. Over the last several years I've had 6 different pairs of earbuds and one set of over-ear headphones. Airpod Pro 2, Airpod Pro 3, Sennheiser TW 3, Sennheiser TW 4, B&O Beocom EX, Bowers & Wilkins Pi6. And my headphones are Sony XM5s. Long story short, if you use Apple Products and want good sound quality for music but don't care about "audiophile" quality. The decision comes down to Airpod Pro 2 or 3. Apple has perfected their ecosystem to where their products work extremely well together which is massive in terms of quality of life. The difference between the two has to do with shape and fit. I got the 3s when the first released, and though the difference in sound and ANC quality is slightly better, I can't tell if it's because of improvement or if my 2s have just seen significant heavy use over 2 years. The jump from the original pros to the 2 was MASSIVE, but the jump from 2 to 3 is marginal at best, and a step backwards in some regards. The downsides with the 3s I have noticed are the fit is much worse, they are not nearly as comfortable and they fall out regularly while the 2s never had this problem. I have also noticed that while the earbuds battery lasts a little longer the case itself does not. I estimate the airpods themselves can get 2.5 full charges out of one full case charge. My Sennheisers sound great but I have had problems. I originally purchased the 3s but after returning them twice they last sent back a pair of 4s. I will say I have not had any problems out of the 4s yet but I have not used them as often. The sound quality for music beats out the Airpods but functionally they're not as user friendly. The shape makes using touch controls difficult and having to open up a specific app that kinda sucks to adjust the EQ is annoying. The B&Os and the Bowers & Wilkens are more audiophile sound quality but they also suffer from the same functionality issues and the Sennheisers. My Sony XM5s were mainly bought for my wife since she cant wear earbuds due to piercings, but overall they work fine. Again, the Airpod Max is probably the better buy for quality of life but it's also difficult to justify the extra $300 price jump while the airpod pros are the same price as their competition.

Lol. A mere bowers and wilkins pi6 is better. I know the mtw4 sou ds really good but the pi6 is a bit better sounding, way mire comfy and better looking

Tbh I love my B&W Pi6, would recommend 🙌
