Your wants and needs are very similar to mine, except that I use Windows PC. I have had Elite 85t for over 4 years, and while they are still working OK, I have become increasingly frustrated by the mediocre voice call sound, poor hear-through mode, and terrible wind noise performance.
I am currently waiting for the Sony WF-1000XM6 to be released and then will choose between those and probably the top Bose QC at the time.
The Technics EAH-AZ100 are another great choice and the only earbuds I'm aware of that can multipoint with 3 devices, but their microphone isn't as good as the Bose.
Google Pixel Buds 2 are a 4th choice, if I find an amazing sale, I may check them out.
I know that whatever I buy I will probably end up buying the XM6 anyway, so am trying to resist the temptation to buy something else in the meantime.
Hi! I just wanted to post - more or less - the same question. So I hope it is okay to ask in this thread.
My focus is on the call quality. I want the earbuds to reduce background noise for the callers and callers should hear me clearly.
I have used Jabra 85t, which are a nightmare and some cheaper alternatives. I screened reddit and multiple times the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 were recommended. Are they still the way to go when looking for call quality? If so, is the app necessary? I would need to check how to get it on my Pixel. I also came across Nothing ear. Similar price range - 140 EUR for the Huaweis, around 120 EUR for Nothing ear.
Thank you for your insights!
There was jabra elite 10. But it has been discontinued. I grabbed a pair last year and have been very happy since. Great ANC and unparalleled comfort. I also had the jabra 85t with similar design and really loved those too.
I wonder if there are new TWS with similar designs coming out.
I can buy the AZ100 for 200 CAD. But I'm skipping them as I know they're not as comfortable to wear as elite 10.
An out-of-production set but still one of the best you can still buy is the Jabra 85t. I use mine for everything. The call quality is superb for you and also for whoever is on the line. It has 6 mics between the pair that cancels out nearly all unwanted noise.
