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)
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
I use a Samsung S22 Ultra which is now just 4 years old. It's on OneUI 8.0 and I'm hoping Samsung completes their support promises and it gets 8.5. I bought the Buds4 Pro thinking they would be special. Only to find when reviews and more 'fine print' emerged that you need OneUI 8.5 to get many of the features/improvements. So, my short review, if you own a Samsung but do not have an S26 or perhaps an S25: - They are good, but not special. I have a set of Huawei Freebuds Pro that were released in 2020. I had a Mate20 Pro (still one of my favorite phones, feature and camera-wise) so I bought the Freebuds Pro when they released. Have used them ever since. They are *at least* as good in sound and voice quality and ANC as the Samsung Buds4 Pro, and that is with my Samsung S22U. They just don't stay in my ears as dependably if out walking. I am hopeful a OneUI 8.5 release to the S22U will fix the issue and upgrade the Buds4 Pro to my quality expectations at purchase. If 8.5 doesn't happen for the S22U or there are still important sound quality features that remain unavailable, it won't induce me to update the phone to the S26U. And if, before a hopefully better speced S27U release, my phone develops any of the ubiquitous Samsung examples of poor quality control - like the failures of their communications module, motherboard failure due to solder breaking after heating during updates, or less than beautiful green and pink lines showing up on their supposedly top of the market screens - then I'll be replacing the Buds4 Pro and my S22U with something market-leading that doesn't have a Samsung logo or depend on a Samsung screen. Long and short: Unless you have an S26U, you can buy better.
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.
