I got OnePlus Buds 4 as a replacement for my old FreeBuds Pro 2 two weeks ago and for the twice the price sound in Pro 2 was like 1.5x better and controls were 2x better for sure. I'm kinda disappointed with Buds 4 despite everyone around praising them.
I have too many buds. But the Samsung buds 3 pro have been the best all around for calls because of the transparency. Huawei buds 2 pro were best for drowning out background noise but my eyes get watery when kn calls because I hear myself. The Technics az100 are pretty good especially the feature to turn down the other party's background noise. but the Samsung buds 3 pro are better overall (for me) for calls
I have the AZ100, and they sound phenomenal. The sound quality is unreal. But they could use a bit more and clean low end punch. I really miss that from my Huawei Freebuds Pro 2.
I only moved on from the Pro 2 because of the poor battery life. I tried the 3, but sound qualiy wise it was a downgrade since Huawei stopped collaborating with Devialet.
Hi, I want to buy new ones without ear tips. Could you suggest me something? I had airpods 3 (great product), xiaomi buds 5 (bad sound quality), Huawew freebuds pro 2 (terrible ear tips)
I really love my Freebuds Pro 2. One of the most feature complete during its release. In ear detection (auto pause/resume), ANC, wireless charging, and multipoint
no sony wfm4,5 on the pic no denon pearl pro no audio technica no pi8 or pi6 many soundcore >>>>> B category some pairs exists twice you just spent alot of money on B or A- pairs without trying A+ pairs i had freebuds pro2 which i think doesn't differ much from 4 and it wasn't enjoyable at music only the vocals,mids were perfect so i sold it and kept my sony wfxm4
For earbuds i only tried Huawei and they are great sound and battery life. Not so much on noise cancellation if nothing was playing. Tried both the free bud pro, and the clip
Huawei freebuds pro, 3 and above. You can buy cheap refurbished ones on Taobao. So good at mic noise cancellation that u can take a call beside a busy road or in a noisy mcdonalds, and people will think you are in a library.
