Epic Lab Edition

Jlab epic lab edition, set them to transparency mode

Interesting to me. I've been through many of the top listed models as a heavy user and a bit of an audiophile. My actual personal pick(for the price) for best sound and quality build would be my JLab epic lab editions. Dual driver, the mid/highs coming via armature. This is great data, and is greatly representative... but ultimately what people talk about is what is either the absolute cheapest decent Chinese bud, or the most heavily marketed and prevalent brand.

Agreed. My JLab epic labs nowhere on this list. Data is data. It's represented as it is collected. My conclusion to this is, Reddit is botted out, and victims of successful marketing strategies.

So far, I've found the JLab Epic Lab Edition. Thanks to the two drivers, the sound is very good for both listening to music and creating an atmosphere in games. But the convenience could have been better.

Own most of those but here to say the JLab are shockingly good

It depends how sensitive you are to audio latency. Literally any Bluetooth headphones will have perceptible audio latency, even if you can somehow find those that support AptX-LL. The Steam Deck also doesn't support AptX Adaptive, so low latency is off the cards for that too. I spent a week researching trying to find something that would be good with Bluetooth on my phone but also have low latency on my Steam Deck, and had almost given up hope when I found the JLab Epic Lab Editions which I just bought. Sound quality is very good for the price, and they have an included USB-C dongle that has basically 0 latency for use with the Deck. The ANC is pretty good too, definitely acceptable in the price range. I haven't tried the mic on them though.

If you're willing to go mid-range $ then definitely Jlab Epic Lab Edition earbuds for 120$. Can compete with the 200-300$ earbud pricepoint of sound quality.
