Edifier x5 pro 2025, all rounder for me, great battery life so far, anc ok, ambient sound ok, mic is great, seamless connection switching from another device, use bt 6.0, sound quality is good, bass punchy but not too much, others sound detail is still catching up
I would definitely recommend the Edifier X5 pro (2025 version) they are amazing, I don't like the airpod shape with the stick thingy but even so they sound really good, the mics sound great for calls, and the battery (both the earbuds and the case) last an eternity. I use them every night for sleeping and I couldn't be happier. The only thing I dislike like I said is that stick outside the ear thing, that you need to get used to the controls (at least for me) and that the case is quite small, but I'm gonna get a silicone cover for it as I tend to drop them often.
