I use my Devialet Gemini 2's the most... But for good sound and overall functionality (calls/anc), I use my AZ100's.. Gonna order the Nobel Fokus Rex5's here soon... FYI, don't waste your money on the Pi8's. I'm highly disappointed in them...
Of the ones listed, the Denon Perl Pro is the best... I own the AZ-100's and the Perl Pro... The AZ-100 is better call quality though... That being said... If your budget is $500, Devialet Gemini 2's... I use my Gem2's more than any other of my buds. I could also suggest Noble Audio Fokus Rex5's, $449... They sound amazing, but not the best for rock/metal music.
BEST sounding, are Nobel Audio Fokus Rex5 or Devialet Gemini 2... I also have the Status Audio Between 3ANC, Denon Perl Pro, Technics AZ100, and B&W Pi8... All of those are really great choices as well.
I absolutly love mine. They sound amazing and have been flawless. I prefer the Devialet over my Noble Rex5's...
Right now, the 3 I use the most are Status Audio Pro X, Devialet Gemini 2, and Technics AZ100's.
For me, I have found that buds with decent ANC vastly improve simply by changing out the ear tips. The Technics AZ100 has decent ANC right out of the box. I swapped the stock tips with Azla SednaEarfit Max tips and made a huge improvement in ANC performance. The AZ100 also has outstanding call quality. To me, the sound quality is pretty goid as well... I own buds with better sound quality, Devialet Gemini 2's... The Gems also have good ANC but are considerably more expensive.
Of the ones you listed, the Devialet Gemini 2 would best suit your needs. The anc is pretty good and sound awesome.
Lead me higher than that... To Devialet Gemini 2... Then to Noble Fokus Rex5... Then to Noble Fokus Prestige Encore... I just can't justify the B&O Grace though...
Status Audio Pro X are great for bass, better than my Gemini 2's or Rex5's.
Noble makes awesome earbuds. I have both the Rex5 and Prestige Encore. If your husband listens to alot of hard rock, metal, or hip-hop I would recommend the Rex5. The Rex5 is a little better tuned for music with heavier bass. The Encore is better for pop, country, classical as it has better, more open, highs. Noble focuses on sound quality more than the other features. Their ANC is ok.. Call quality is decent. Battery life isn't too bad. You may want to also look at the Status Audio Pro X, it does very well in pretty much all genres. It has a really good ANC, but the battery life could be better. My last suggestion is the Devialet Gemini 2. Sounds great in all genres, good battery life good ANC, pretty good call quality.
I do use Devialet Gemini II and are amazing (since august last year)
My rankings based on what I own. My criteria are big soundstage, tight articulate bass, and comfort. 1. Noble FoKus Prestige 2. Master & Dynamic MW09 3. Devialet Gemini II 4. Noble Fokus Rex5 5. Denon Perl Pro 6. Technics AZ100 7. B&W Pi8
They are good but have been relegated to my “work” earbuds since all the others suck on phone calls. The Technics are small, lightweight, and easy to quickly connect for a conference call and don’t sound muffled like the Gemini II’s. For music, anything else is better. The Technics have a weird muddy flub to the bass I can’t put my finger on.
On pure SQ alone: Noble Prestige > Devialet Gemini 2 > Master & Dynamic MW09 > Noble Fokus Rex5 > Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 > Denon Perl Pro > Technics AZ100 > Sennheiser MTW4
Def no audiophile grade for audiophile listeners. Also every earbud you named would basically sound like shit anyway besides the Gemini which def sound better than these. These just have sharper parts because of the liquid. But airpods don't even sound as good as cheap wired air phone you get in the package Bose is just marketing an Sony is the only other one with decent sound maybe but it bass heavy. Nothing you named actually is like good quality enough to really compare great sound aside from Gemini. Thank you for aleast listing what you were comparing it to but again anything with airpods or bose isn't barely good sound quality an when you hear anything else you understand you are paying for marketing an the ecosystem they brag about which isn't really all that special
jazz ve soul dinliyorsan Technics senin için en uygun olanı, çünkü tiz ve midler çok belirgin ve önde tam klasik müzik, soul, blues, jazz dinleyicileri için. audio technica, yamaha gibi metalik bir ses imzası var. ben buradaki listeden gözü kapalı status audio alırdım. bu arada biri devialet gemini 2 için boş beleş bişeyler yazmış :) onunki şansızlık yada talihsizlik, çünkü gemini 2 de kullanıyorum harika kulaklıklar. 3 tane bluetooth kulaklığımı hiç bir şeye değişmem; noble rex 5, devialet gemini 2 ve status audio pro x. paranın alabileceği ve kulakların duyabileceği en iyi kablosuz in ear kulaklıklar..
Bro. Holy sht. Im a/b ing my tws collection today and realized im full of it. Listening to some Revocation album and the Liberty 3 pros destroys them all lol. Im returning my Denon Perl Pros tomorrow (lack separation compared to L3P, more muddy and has a weird timbre on the mids) It was a re purchase for 149. Still lost the 2nd time around. I thought the nothing ears were better too, but upon comparison the nothings are grainier and lacking resolution. The only one who can go toe to toe with them in my collection are the Status 3ancs, which has better treble reproduction (cymbals are more fleshed out, L3P sometimes have metallic treble). I just cant believe my ears. The L3Ps are still right there among the top (for metal). I just wished their midrange reproduction was better. For that i pull out my AZ80s. Now i am onto the Gemini 2s, If I dont find them SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than the L3Ps I am gonna lose my mind lol.
the Devialet Gemini 2 are sound and ANC wise a top pick! They start at 399,- bucks, they are worth every penny. They are better than Bose and Sony. If you can try them out, do it!
Devialet gemini 2 is great but there are connection and battery drainage issues. I just bought a new airpods pro3, the sound is not as good as gemini but it is sufficient I can say, other features of new airpods are way better. If you just want to listen music, go for gemini (headphones even beter if this is the purpose) but if you use earbuds for daily purposes and sometimes you listen music, airpods pro 3s are very good earbuds.
