Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, they're not very good but have proved more reliable than a whole bunch of others, Sennheiser momentum, XM4, load of em, all never make it beyond 6 months. I baby them and they still die. I thought the og Pixel Buds were ok but they just wouldn't stay in my ears. I'm interested in the Pixel Buds Pro 2. Got some Bowers & Wilkins px7 s2 for when I fly or do some critical listening.

I have the base line pixel bud for 2 years now. My main concern about the pro 2 (aside from the price) is the fact that in every pictures of people wearing them they seems to stick out a lot of the ear. I dont want to look like a clown. I have small ears. The base pixel bud are ok. If the pro are bigger than that, i wont take them.

Beats Fit Pro. Had Google Buds back when they were Gen 1. Had a wireless charging case, and small earbuds. Totally ruined it for me when they made them twice as big the next go-around...

Still using my Samsung Galaxy buds2 pro. Not perfect but great earbuds. Sony Xm4s were what I used before but Sony basically nuked them with firmware updates and refused to refund them. They would heat up charging and were hot to touch, lasted maybe 30 minutes before having to charge again. Before that, they were near perfect after getting foam comply tips. My favorite earbuds have been Galaxy buds pro though, almost perfect in everyway if you didn't care much about ANC, not a priority for me ambient sound is. Good battery, sound, comfortable, everything. Pixel buds 1 were just meh, Bose soundsport free were too heavy and uncomfortable but sound great, Bose soundsport wireless were great until I got sick of the wire. Next buds I want to try are one of Sony linkbuds 2 whenever they come out, Soundcore AeroFit Pro Open-Ear, or SHOKZ OpenFit Open-Ear. I'd like to try a good open ear earbud/headphones as earbuds seem to really be messing up peoples hearing, mine includes. It's not bad, could just be "age" but 28 so I don't know.

I had very good luck with my OG pixel buds. Using Sony XM5 buds now. ANC works good. Great sound. Comfortable at 20+ miles but the battery is nearly empty when your over 3-3.5 hours. Probably need to adjust some settings if you want to run up to 4hrs with them.

I enjoyed the OG pixel buds, but they conked out and the next gen didn't have the little wing tips which I didn't trust them to stay in without. I went with Senheiser Sport True Wireless in the end. They're clucky but reliable. Adjustable wing tips. Good sound and seal. No ANC - but I don't notice traffic noise with music on. Big touch sensor for switching through play lists and adjusting volume while mid run. Decent battery life. I've run in pouring rain and sweaty heat with them and they're fine. Still going strong two years later, they're pretty resilient - even after being dropped a couple dozen times. The case is quite bulky though so I leave it at home and unless they're in the case they have a weird habit of playing by themselves which runs the battery down.

Buds Pro 2 currently, but I still have and use Buds 2 and A, depending on what I'm doing and where I'm at. My kids have the Buds Pro and the Sony as well. We all agree that musically speaking you can really dial the Sony's in, to where they're the best sounding for most music, but overall we say the Buds Pro 2 are the best. Size, battery life and fit for sure.

Pixel earbuds work well. I have a Pixel 6 Pro phone and MacBook. Works well. Have Pixel A Buds and trying out the Pixel Buds Pro 2 right now. Also trialing the Nothing Ear earbuds given rave reviews and have multipoint. Seems good; though, I can't figure out the controls on the stems at all.

I also get uncomfortable fast with ear buds but really like my pixel buds and can wear them comfortably for 8+ hours. I had one pair fail on me after 13 months of use, but it was a fairly simple warranty claim. Depending on your budget and location, there's a company called "Snugs" (UK based, but I expect there's similar companies internationally) who make custom fit buds by taking a mould off your ear. I use them for running, they take a bit of getting used to as they fill your entire ear canal but are super comfy once you get used to the sensation. I've worn these for 5 hour long runs. Before getting snugs I had some luck with DIYcustom fit buds using two step earplug putty

Pixel Buds are the absolute worst, Bluetooth connection issues abound and they fall out at the slightest head movement. JLabs buds are far better.

I'm in the market for wireless earbuds with an earhook, primarily for listening to audiobooks. I love my moondrop aria (1?) wired headphones which have a nice ear hook from the cable. I also have a pair of pixel buds, but they constantly disconnect/fade in and out when I walk around and it drives me nuts. I also have super small ear holes, so that might be a factor. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have the PB, PBP and PBP2. I'm using the pbp2 now. Swapping the silicone tips out for foam ones greatly improved their ability to stay in my ear. The listening audio and anc are great but the microphones are really bad for calls. I always have to switch to hardwired options when I join work teams calls. My Ray Ban meta mic quality is far superior.

Can you recommend any buds that have some kind of locking wing or whatever for the ear? I have tried pixel buds A when I got the 6 pro (ok but not great), galaxy buds plus (current favorite but getting pretty old), air pods pro (falls right out of my ear if I move), JLab with the ears hooks (trash microphone).

I use pixel buds, but I'm android. It never falls out and it's survived many drops. Transparency mode is nice, but something like shokz prob safer overall.

Hey Routine, no I haven't, but in my opinion the google buds are way more secure in the ear, they're much smaller, have the wing, and for my ears, are definitely a better fit than the AZ100's. The AZs are good, but not as secure or comfortable.

Yeah sorry man! They are comfy, and they are relatively secure, but I definitely dont think they compare to the Googles, if you had problems with the pixel buds pro 2 (bearing in mind all our ears are different so take this with a grain of salt) then I dont think the AZ100's could be better. They definitely sound more clear than the GPBP2 though! They're pretty close to the Jabra Elite 10 gen 2 or the Jabra Elite 8s I'd say, like very close in terms of comfort/security.

What the f*** is with all the hate with raycon earbuds you can get them for less than $95 most of the time they're running discounts typically you can get a pair for around $65 and I'd say that's pretty good for the raycons that hold up really well The cases are fairly cheap you get replacement parts if you really need to The cases are interchangeable I love my raycons I bought the brands that some of these guys are recommending like nothing and all that The speaker ended up sucking there was no base and if there was base either couldn't hear nothing (I guess that's where it got its name) and well I do agree JBL is a good brand I would still recommend raycon if you have the money The e25s are great I really don't get why people have a hate truth or at this point they outperformed my Google pixel earbuds and my Samsung once
