Ear (2)

I've had samsung buds pro once, but they never sat well in my ears. And that is important. Then I bought sony linkbuds s, they were amazing. Sat very firm in the ear, great noise cancelling. But one of the batteries got bad after only a year, lastes only 5 min. Now i have nothing ear 2, pretty good budget in ears. The noise cancelling isn't that great, but they sit very firm in the ear and have lasted 2.5 years now.

I'm using Nothing ear 2, but to be fair the Bluetooth latency kidna sucks and depending on the game is even distracting. I have also KZ ZSN Pro on my main computer and i think i would be better of getting another ones for the Deck.

I use Nothing Ear (2).

I use a Nothing Ear (2), while there is a noticeable delay in audio/image due to latency, the game i play is not critic at all. I also have some lying around KZ ZSN Pro, but don't actually connect it to the Deck.

Nothing sucks ass btw, never buy em. Worst experience

Just about a year of use the battery level dropped to < 1 hour, the tiny holes get frequently blocked due to dust, you can find this on Nothing subreddits as well.  Fragile ass build quality, they just broke.  Mic quality also deteriorated.  Thank God I got an extended warranty, gave them they were unable to fix it and just refunded me 60% of the amount I paid. Nothing phone is good, ngl. but ear 2 sucked ass. the local chinese earphones lasted long 

Sony WF-1000XM5 are some of the best out there. I would also recommend the nothing ear 2 or the more budget nothing ear(a) which I personally use and they probably have the best audio quality in that price range. Tho I have absolutely no idea why you would spend 500$ for earbuds and if earbuds priced at that range exist, but all of these are 300$ or and below(ear 2 are 150$ and ear a should be about 90$).

Yeah, the ear(a) sound really good, no complaints about the quality but the ANC is not so good in my opinion, and if I recall correctly the ear 2 are much better in the ANC dep. But the ANC on the Sony buds are by far one of, if not the best out there, the quality should also be comparable or better.

Agreed on the best in class ANC. But it's about all that goes for them. Sound quality is terrible to my ears, very muffled, and the app miles from being as nice as the one from Nothing. Call quality is the worst i've ever seen in earbuds. I own them and use them only for their ANC when flying. As all rounders i use the Nothing ear 2, haven't found better ones that are "good enough" everywhere. And i also have a third pair, the Huawei freebuds pro 4 that i use exclusively in the office as they are best in class for calls and I am often on Teams. Of the 3, the Bose are the ones I use and like the least. 🤷 Edit: to be complete, the Bose are the most comfortable to wear of the lot. But wear comfort is pretty useless if call quality and sound quality aren't good.

Nothing ear (2) I use

I've tried the Sony, Sennheiser, and Technics from that list. Sennheiser (Momentum 3): Very good sound quality, but they broke after a couple of months. Also, even after owning them for about a year, the ear fins made my ears sore during longer listening sessions. Great sound, but not the most reliable or comfortable. Sony: I bought the Sony earbuds to replace the Sennheisers. While the sound was good, the foam ear tips were annoying, and they didn’t support the ear well, leading to discomfort. Like the Sennheisers, they made my ears sore after longer periods. I ended up returning them after just a few days. Technics AZ80: These were my favorite out of the ones I tried. Very comfortable with good ear support, and the sound quality was excellent. Sadly, one earbud jumped out of my ear into a river while I was running, so that ended that. Now, I'm using the Nothing Ear (2). Honestly, I would recommend the Nothing Ear (2) over all the others. It offers basically the same sound quality at half the price, and the app experience is much better than Technics'. Summary: All of them have good sound quality. Sennheiser sounds great but has reliability issues and uncomfortable ear fins. Sony has good sound but uncomfortable ear tips and poor fit. Technics are the best overall for comfort and sound. Nothing Ear (2) delivers about 95% of the Technics experience, has a better app, and costs half as much.
