"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Was ideal because I was in a cabin with 3 screaming babies and ANC + audiobook worked like a CHARM."
"The fit, comfort, sound, and ANC are the best I've experienced. ... all the rest have markedly inferior ANC."

"the dragon 12s are closer to REL 8/12 subs. ... No soundbar has anything close to this sub available. ... The 12s alone make this system untouchable by any other home theater in a box. No comparison!! ... Couple the 12”subs into the experience, you’re not getting that experience short of Svs sub territory. ... It’s a house shaking, chest thumping experience that is not able to be reproduced by any other soundbar or home theater in a box. ... Adding the two 12s to the 8s really has taken the system to the next level. ... The house literally shakes now with honest chest thumping levels. ... BTW, the 12s are RELs! ... The 90 lbs behemoths in the room! ... The chuffing from the 8s many reviewers have noted is gone when used with the 12s."
"nothing trust me nothing will literally hit u that hard not even Canelo Alvarez"
"IER not having absolutely incredible bass is objectively BS. ... The bass reading on the IER is so off what you'll actually hear if you have them inserted properly, it's absolutely ridiculous. ... I have Fatfreq Maestro SE CIEM'D which are their heaviest hitting premium model - CIEM-ing it only make the bass hit much harder, and it's still not quite as heavy as the IER."

"I take calls with it all the time and people hear me clearly, even in noisy spots."
"Way better than expected. The mic delivers clear voice pickup even during outdoor calls. Didn’t think I’d get this quality from something in this price range. ... The calling quality on these earbuds is quite good overall. Even with a fan running in the background (especially now in summer), the mic does a decent job of picking up your voice clearly. For regular calls, MS Teams, or WhatsApp, it works well without any major issues. ... The mic quality is decent for MS Teams and WhatsApp calls. Voices come through clearly on both ends. It's not studio-quality, but definitely reliable enough for work meetings and casual calls without issues."
"blocks background noise amazingly for its price."

"The only thing I really hate is the fact they are touch and not a push button. When I run I wipe my face with a towel and it keeps pushing the buttons."
"The touch sensitivity on the buds is insane. ... I wish there was a way to lower it without turning it off entirely. ... Went for a run during some light rain. My wet hair kept setting off the assistant and pausing the music."
"Only complaint is the touch pad on the ear bud causes songs to skip or pause when I need to adjust it while I'm in the gym. ... Seems impossible to touch it at all without activating some kind of control."

"if compensated with EQ it will start to distort even on "medium" volume"
"Charge 5 has a slightly higher waterproof rating. It is louder with better audio quality than the Flip 6. ... in my experience my Charge has been much better at delivering clear and audible sound in my backyard than my Flip 6 ... definitely much better sound quality than Flip series, louder and longer battery too!"
"Sub-Bass (20-60Hz) basically cuts out"

"Jbl anc is terrible imo. ... Makes me feel ill. ... Low cancellation."
"What is your battery life been like with the Status ProX ? I'm seeing under six hour playback per charge and these are brand new. ... just about bang on 6 hours with ANC."
"no ANC or transparency ... significantly cheaper without ANC/transparency"

"they do not last me the day."
I was just doing this same research. For reference, I have the JBL Live Pro 2s, Soundscore Liberty 4 NCs & Bose over the ears. I just returned the Sennheiser MTW4s and using/testing the Nothing Ear (2024)s now. If you want deep base, I'd go with the new JBLs (Tour 3s) or the Nothing Ears. The Senny's didn't have the bass I wanted. Yes, they do have bass and they sound amazing, but I'm a basshead & the Nothing's deliver in spades. Same for the JBLs. I still use my Live Pro 2s regularly and they compare to the Nothing's for that full rich sub bass.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for 2025? ->Yep. Total convert to Shokz for running, cycling, climbing. I used JBL Live pro 2 for years, but I much prefer the ambient awareness of bone conduction.
r/GarminWatches • What earphones are you using for running with your Garmin watch? ->I had the live pro 2. Connection etc is perfectly quick etc, but it's lacking a lot of noise cancelling. I'd buy the Sony's normally. But since you have an iphone....buy the apple earbuds. They are less good than Sony or Bose imo, but if you have an iphone, apple earbuds just work better. If you want to change to the superior ;) android phones in the future, then get the Sony's
r/Earbuds • Advice on earbuds, Soundcore, Huawei, etc etc ->I recently lost my JBL live pro2s and got soundcore a40s which are a third the price, better fit, sound better and has better noise canceling.
r/Earbuds • The Best Earbuds at the Moment? ->So I just gave some $30 jbl Active noise canceling earbuds a try that go in the ear and I still hear the noise of them wiggling around in my ear canals too much and it makes me tense up. 😣 plz let me know if you ever get the airpods and how they compare to in ear ANC
r/AuDHDWomen • Need recommendations for noise canceling earbuds that does cause the uncomfortable suction feeling 😬 ->JBL Live Pro 2 TWS, you'll get real bang for your bucks! And they're comfortable too :) € 70,00 here in The Netherlands [https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/jbl-live-pro-2-tws](https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/jbl-live-pro-2-tws)
r/Earbuds • What are the best noise cancellation wireless earbuds under £100? ->I bought the Bose and JBL ones people have been suggesting here. The Bose indeed has better noise cancelling, but I ended up returning it and staying with the JBL one because the app is much better, the ear fit is much better, and the case is significantly smaller, while the noise cancelling is _almost_ as good.
r/Earbuds • What are the best noise cancelling earbuds right now? ->JBL Live Pro 2. ANC was almost as good as Bose's, and they're cheaper, more compact and more comfortable.

r/Earbuds • What are the best noise cancelling earbuds right now? ->lol sorry I keep forgetting to answer. Nothing liek getting yelled at by an online stranger to get you to answer immediately though. I got the JBL Live Pro 2. Honestly I thought the noise cancelling was almost as good the Bose, and it was much cheaper, more compact and more comfortable.
r/Earbuds • What are the best noise cancelling earbuds right now? ->I’m a hip hop head and I will say the JBL Live Pro 2s hit pretty hard. Can be had for less than $100
r/Earbuds • Earbuds for a basshead. ->I find my $79 JBL live Pro 2s beat most of what I’ve found
r/Earbuds • I hate you all ->I just got a pair of the JBL Pro Live 2 and I love them checks all your boxes 100 on Amazon. Great sound quality, the noise cancelling is phenomenal.
r/Earbuds • Budget earbuds with ANC, mutlipoint connection, wireless charging and decent mic? ->Yeah I live in LA and people can hear me through the traffic and everything no problem. I think they have like six mic's or something crazy I'm super happy with them.
r/Earbuds • Budget earbuds with ANC, mutlipoint connection, wireless charging and decent mic? ->If you’re looking beyond the usual picks, the SoundPEATS Capsule3 Pro punch way above their price with great battery life and LDAC support, and the TOZO NC9 are cheap but shockingly good for casual listening with decent ANC. The JBL Live Pro 2 are another nice middle ground with strong bass and reliable multipoint. Try them out before you buy at audiotones .co
r/Earbuds • Slowly leaving Apple ecosystem. Looking for new earbuds ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
