"Super comfy for me ... they feel like they might fall out, but they don't. I've worn them at the gym regularly, on hikes, etc. ... No discomfort unless it's been like the whole day. I guess the oval foam eartips + the shape fit me really well."
"Both of these seem to fit me very securely and I’ve run with both of them."
"Personally, they fit me perfectly."

"the best call quality"
"the JBL Tour Pro 3 are the best for phone calls. ... Overall, I have been very impressed with them. ... Everyone says I sound great with the JBL. ... I just talk on the phone A LOT for work and did several tests and consistently people said that my voice sounded best with the JBL."
"for all around use, office/gym/calls... the TP3s are my favorite set on the market right now."

"I love that the JBL resolve detail a lot better than those [Bose QC Ultra]."
"the JBLs seem to have the best sound"
"Better audio quality than Bose ... sound quality (I can get booming bass without distortion, unlike with Bose)"

"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."

"after the first day, the left earbud stopped connecting. ... i tried everything to fix the issue."
"the sound kept chopping up"
"JBL’s app can be a little clunky at times. I can be playing music (and have been for the last hour), open the app, and it can take 20-30 seconds to connect sometimes. Odd, but that’s about it."

"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."
"let in wind noise which is ruining them for me."
"during phone called everyone said that they couldn't not make out a word I was saying."

"not as secure as the xm5 ... the JBL generally has a more relaxed fit ... I wouldn't trust it to stay in my ears for exercise."
"the Jbl are sort of chunky"

"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."

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.
