MW09

My rankings based on what I own. My criteria are big soundstage, tight articulate bass, and comfort. 1. Noble FoKus Prestige 2. Master & Dynamic MW09 3. Devialet Gemini II 4. Noble Fokus Rex5 5. Denon Perl Pro 6. Technics AZ100 7. B&W Pi8

No after a year the left earbud will be stuck in permanent and anc an they won't allow you to replace it. They are great for battery life though I got a full like 14 hours flying to South America easy but man it suck spending that much for them to die. They def need foam eartips too cause anc is garbage

Few things Bose sucks. I know you said you used them but they are trash you don't compare them with the best of the best in terms of sound quality lol Soundcore is very well known it's one of the most popular budget earbuds you can get an they are also known for their workout earbhds that have great battery life an last forever Now I also have these too along with others an ill say they are one of the best sounding earbuds but not the best. Nobole beat them any thing noble but noble fokus rex5 is the absolute best you can get for your money. I have the pros an mw09 an listen to them along side the noble rex5 using the proper codec an support an yeah the way songs sound on the rex5 is different than on the dpp. For instance psycho by system of a down you feel the song when you listen on the rex5 you hear it very well on the dpp. They are a great choice though if you don't wanna shell out too much money. Now for their problems or some what problems. The battery life is as advertised however once you out on spatial audio an use the other feature it's knocks it down quite a bit from the 8 hours mark an you start getting airpods quality battery life or little better. They don't connect 100 percent of the time out of my noble an mw09 other high end earbuds these don't always connect. They are easy to use as a daily driver with touch controls but if you disconnect them an then take them out of the case again sometimes it will not pick up. I made sure it easnt just my device as it happens on my laptop too. Great earbuds sound better when my mw09 but not best money can buy

I hated the perl pro. I would say for bass alone, though they're old, the liberty 3 pro. They still have pretty good modern features but they're very harsh on treble so will need an eq. Second choice would be the Master&Dynamic MW09
