"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."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"If you care about call quality and noise cancelling during calls then Huawei is the the way and only way to go ... Best overall for calls ... nothing comes close to the Huawei free clips in terms of call quality! ... mic quality for calls is mileeeees ahead on the Huawei."
"I wanted really good call quality because I take a lot of calls when I'm on a call in central City, and they have been amazing. ... I take a call in a cafe full of people and crying kids and the other person can't hear a thing"
"I can definitely tell that the mics have improved. The mics in general are more targeted. You can now have ambient sound amp voices in front of you. And I find that Bixby catches what I say better. ... Good. They really shined in times sqaure"

"Personally I use it most often on my gaming PC because it has less latency than if I were to use the Bluetooth directly."
"This one's unique because you can plug in the case via USB-C or headphone jack into whatever and stream it directly to your earbuds with a little better quality than normal and with low latency."
"it can also be plugged into any usb-c or headphone port and act as a lossless transmitter, so if you travel or have any legacy devices or like to game without Bluetooth lag, the case can also be a plus."

"constant connectivity issues I experienced. ... The buds would randomly not turn on when taken out of the case, or just one wouldn't turn on, or they wouldn't connect, or sometimes the buds would randomly disconnect/reconnect, or sometimes the buds would disconnect from each other. ... I really wanted to keep them but they were borderline unusable, even after an update."
"Also connection with iPhone has always been terrible. ... Dropped connections, sometimes it just won ’t connect."
"they would constantly disconnect from my s23."

"Do you also have a high frequency noise when you're doing a phonecall with the JBLs? ... So weird that this hissing noise is only appearing when making a phone call. I haven't heard that noise in any other scenario. ... I unfortunately have it when just connecting via Bluetooth to my Androids or Windows PCs. ... Does anyone else has a high pitched beeping while on phone calls with the JBL Pro Tour 3? Really annoying and only noticeable during phone calls."
"it's not effective in noisy environments. ... You have to speak very loudly."
"couldn't use them for phone calls at all. ... Sound quality on phone calls was still just bad. ... I have to put them out to be able to make a call."

"the fit was terrible for me ... so I returned them"
"I had the same problem and returned them."
"But, notably heavier. ... And man, these being heavy, really makes it hard to keep in the ears. ... I'm finding these are heavy and have a hard time staying in the ear ... I noticed that too. These are the first iem that give me problem with staying in my ears. ... Yea, it's big enough of an issue, that I might resell these. It's frustrating to use them lol ... I never found a set that made them stay perfectly, except for liquid silicone tips, but didn't like the way they sounded ... These are heavy though. Easily double to 2.5x, maybe even 3x the weight of my s12 2024's. TBD on how I feel on that lol."

"The case is obnoxiously large."
"the case is seriously annoying to carry around because it's massive."
"the case is huge. ... It's stands out being very useful, but also very large :P ... The size of the case annoys me as I'm always carrying them with me."

"Worse than that, it drains the battery really fast if you are holding position or flying into the wind. ... Even with the + battery, you might get 40 minutes flying with the wind and 11 minutes flying home against the wind meaning you probably won't make it."
"It would shake like crazy at night since the wind could not pass through. ... I ’m talking Dorothy’s house flying away from Kansas type of shaking in the wind."
"let in wind noise which is ruining them for me."
This^ I just went down this rabbit hole and everyone's opinions online varied wildly from my own in person experiences. I ended up keeping Galaxy Buds 3 Pro (pixel phone). I tried Pixel Buds Pro 2, JBL Tour Pro 3, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and Nothing Pro (2024).
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds? ->JBL Tour, Bose QC, Sony XM4 and XM5, Liberty NC4... They all sound better but like I said, AirPods Pro 2 truly shine with their seamless integration into the Apple Ecosystem, transparent mode, ANC and call quality. You can basically put them on and forget they're there
r/Earbuds • What earbuds should I get for using an iPhone 16 PM? ->The best ANC is not from airpods pro 3. If you have an iPhone an you are an apple fanboy that's probably believable. But in reality no. It's up there ebut def not the best ANC by any means. Also every one you named below then is actually above them except for JBL which is also better all around besides ambient an anc modes
r/Earbuds • Best noise cancelling earphones ->They can be worth it if you value them. IMO, I can't trust anything less than $100 USD. I've bought a few pairs to try to convince me otherwise but end up going back to my expensive earbuds. The lowest pair I own are the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, JBL Tour Pro 3, Apple Airpods Pro 2, Google Pixel Buds Pro, and Soundscore Liberty 3 Pro. My preferred earbuds are the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra and Sony WF-1000XM5. I want to try more expensive earbuds, but at that point, over the ear are better.
r/Earbuds • Are expensive earbuds worth it? ->I’ve had all except the huawei. I still have the JBL’s. I love them. But I also have AirPods Pro 2 and most recently bought one plus buds pro 3. Out of them all the one plus buds are by favorite. I can’t wait for the pro 4’s and the new AirPods Pro. But I think the dual drivers really make a difference on the JBL and one plus.
r/Earbuds • Can't decide between Technics AZ100, JBL Pro 3 and Huawei Freebuds Pro 4 ->I went with JBL TP3 and I love them. Sound is pretty good. I think the "Bass" EQ setting sounds the best. Non-EQ sound didn't have enough bass for me. I have been using the foam tips. They're comfortable, but I can't tell if I have a good seal or not. App says seal is good though. But they don't feel like they're stuck in my ear. Maybe that's normal.
r/Earbuds • Looking for travel earbuds under $300 ->JBL Tour Pro 3 are best value for money I think. It does a lot of things very well too, and I like its case has use too other than charging.
r/Earbuds • What are the best sounding wireless earbuds under $250? ->Get the JBL Tour Pro 3, its amazing value for money
r/Earbuds • Are these a good upgrade? ->You cant go wrong at the high end your listing here. It's a matter of priorities. Best ANC, best sound quality, type of fit, most features? They will all do it all good to great but some are excellent at specific things. Consider what audio sources you have/want and what music you like. I personally loved the Sennheiser MTW4 but they had an issue with extreme suction blocking sound on my right ear. I replaced them with the JBL tour pro 3s and are good enough, the case being a transmitter is a hard carry for me. Getting a hard answer is tough because there are different products for different people. GL. from your list Id do the XM4
r/Earbuds • What are Best In Earbuds Wireless? Recommendation? ->Heavily under reported buds. I got them on a whim and fell in love.
r/Earbuds • WHAT ARE THE BEST EARBUDS? ->I was struggling a bit at first. I use the foam tips, compressing them in my ear and letting them expand after torquing them in. It is quite a maneuver but learnable. They are undeniably chunky boys. Fit is highly personal though, if they don't fit they just don't fit. I hope this helps.
r/Earbuds • WHAT ARE THE BEST EARBUDS? ->Technics are all hype. JBL TP3 for me. Even the older Sennheiser MTW4s are better the AZ trash.
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds $300 or Less ->JBL Tour pro 3s sound amazing, and are just short of the best NC. I prefer them to AZ80s by a mile.
r/Earbuds • “I'm looking for the best noise-cancelling headphones — Any recommendations?” ->I'm TOTALLY with you. Like, exactly. The left feels fine, the right hurts my ear canal. I've played with changing the tips and still, ouch. I own many earbuds (I've got a bit of a problem) and these hurt the worst. Just this morning I tried changing the tips again because I WANT to love these. But right now, my Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra, Bose Quiet Comfort 2, JBL Tour Pro 3, OnePlus, Sony, Google, Nothing... ALL feel so much better. I'm going to start googling third party tips now, if I find a winner, I'll let you know and I'd appreciate it if you did the same. I really want these to work as they are supposed to be my best "sounding" earbuds.
r/Earbuds • Technics AZ100 have phenomenal audio quality but the earbuds hurt my ears. Any recommendations ->The biggest weakness of the JBL Tour Pro 3 for me was mic isolation. When i would use them to call people, they could hear me fine but they could also hear a pin drop in the room near me. Also, the case is HUGE. Besides those points, they’re great earbuds. I returned them and got the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra True Wireless. Returned those too, same reason — mic isolation. They were also super buggy, random disconnects and not detecting connections. I returned those and got the Sony WF-1000xm5 and I’m keeping these, for now. The music quality is on par with either the JBL and Bose. Noise cancellation is worse than Bose but better than JBL. Mic isolation is the best of the 3. The fit is the worst of the 3 but I got used to it very quickly. All of this is an experiment to see if there’s better earbuds than AirPod Pro 2. So far, the answer is no. I’d keep my AirPods Pro 2 over any of these. I’m probably going to return these Sony at some point and just hold out for AirPod Pro 3 when they come out.
r/Earbuds • What the Best Wireless Earbuds Now? ->I’ve tried a lot of high end earbuds, and the only one I consider on par with Airpod pro 2 is the Sony WF-1000XM5. Everything else that I’ve tried was retuned due to some deficiency or other. JBL Tour Pro 3 was close in many ways, but the case was too massive and the mic sucks for calls.
