"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."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"The best is hearing directly via TV apps such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Kayo. The surround, smooth deep bass and clarity with the upfiring speakers on both the bar and rear speakers is 'chef kiss'."
"I don’t listen to EDM, but I can say that Karma (Electric Fountain) from the Tekken 6 OST sounds awesome. The bass rumble feels like it’s always present in the space when the mid-bass punch hits. Meanwhile, the details in the upper-mids and treble are clear but never sounding harsh or fatiguing"

"bad connection with pc vía USB (im not making the de mic work)"
"I had many times where sonar audio devices flat out wouldn’t work properly and required a restart or reinstall to fix, and I got tired of it."
"The one problem I have with them is when they go into a standby mode and come out of it, the mic stops working, both on Bluetooth and with the dongle. ... So like if I'm in a Discord chat and I mute for 20 minutes and come back, I have to put the buds back in the case and take them out for the mic to work again."

"USE THE STOCK ONES, any other tip I tried outside the stock ones, really make the ANC WAY worse, by 60% I would say, and it’s not an exaggeration"
"having somewhat of a shittier ANC. ... For the use of buses or even home, don't even think about it, the ANC goes crazy with the sound of the engine and the passive noise reduction is almost non present. ... I'd rather not having headphones in the bus and actively listen to the engine than to have these headphones and having to actually listen to the engine as well + weird ANC noises + doghsit quality audio. ... this newer model somehow improves in actually nothing and somehow got an even worse ANC even though the first already barely even had at all. ... ANC: it does contain it, but it does not contain it. ... Bluetooth buds have one purpose which is having ANC, and sounding slightly good. These couldn't even deliver on that."
"they are not noise canceling"

"However the Pi8 is at least 150€ pricier and it is NOT 150€ better, you will have a diminushing return hitting hard at this price point. So maybe 10/15% better, no more. ... For me this earbuds are too expensive for what they come with. For 400 everything have to be perfect. It is not the case here ... Yep, for 300 the sound is worth it. But 400, knowing all the issues or mid feature, not at all. I will keep them all the month (Amazon) then return them I think ... The pi8 has a better sound than the airpods pro 2, not 200 euros better, but better, more defined, fine, dynamic. On the other hand, you risk losing the quality of the Apple ecosystem, which is excellent. For me, it's not worth it, honestly. ... That is the reason why I returned them, for this price, you want the best, not only the best sounding pair, for that I have my IEMs and wired headphones. So yeah, good sound, but deceptive at the end"
"its HE technology is not the fastest nor the most overkill precise, even though the difference is small. ... air60he notoriously vastly outperforms it for far cheaper ... it performs far better on all latency tests so far than even the 80he. Nuphy HE boards in general kill the competition when it comes to things like that. ... people kept claiming better response times and accuracy when that's not true."
"These would be awesome if they didn't just decide to disconnect in the middle of games or chats and are fully charged. ... The amount of money you pay for these for this to be a common issue almost everytime I try and wear them is not worth it. ... But I just can't use them more than half the time without them disconnecting for no apparent reason"

"I get the pain in the ear also. ... I feel like it's creating pressure or a standing wave within the ear. It wouldn't surprise me if these are making people lose their hearing"
"and were from the few IEMs that didn't fit my ears. ... Much more comfortable shell than the Variations monstrosity"
"100% agree with this, love the tops. Fit is much better too"

"supermix4 hurt my ears, too much treble for me ... I didn’t think the supermix 4 sounded much better, but the highs were much more aggressive. I played for 1/2 hour and was in pain."
"I found the SuperMix 4 too bright and fatiguing until I tamed it a bit with SpinFit W1s. ... (Otherwise, I could only listen to the Fall Out Boy discography for ~30 minutes. No such discomfort with my other IEMs.)"
"everything is just super high pitched n supermix and genuinely unusable just because of how nassally and unnatural it makes female voices sound. ... And after a few days I just realized how ear piercing and unnatural the supermix was and so that was kinda it, I didn't wanna use supermix for music anymore."
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? ->I adore my oneplus buds 3 pro
r/aspergirls • What is the best noise cancelling earbuds? ->I really like mine... Sometimes I use wavelet with it too... They kind of barely stay in though ... It feels like they're about to fall out but dont
r/oneplus • OnePlus Buds Pro 3 — Honest Review ->Check earfun air pro 4 i think wireless charging din siya at that price range. Yan choice ko before I opted for oneplus buds 3 pro, I'm using s25 rin.
r/Tech_Philippines • Best budget earbuds w/ wireless charging capability? ->I have both and I find the Buds 4 to be inferior. Battery life seems worse on the Buds 4 but more importantly the audio quality on the 4 is not as good as the Buds Pro 3. Buds 4 sound a bit tinny and not as immersive as the Pro3. Lows, mids, and highs all seem a bit congested on the 4 compared to the Pro3. When I put on the Buds Pro 3, it sounds damn good. When I put on the 4, it sounds just ok.
r/oneplus • OnePlus Buds Pro 3 — Honest Review ->After almost a week of using em; I’m sending em back, for the price the jbl tour 3 has waaaay more value, I got the denon perl on discount and on white as my one plus buds 3, I tried everything, different tips, removing the foam AND the filter, sound is good but volume in the jbl and op3p is way better, so as bass and articulation in the mids, I really wanted to keep this ones but anc as good as many say chaNtes the tonality no matter which setting I’m in, passive anc (just from the tips) is almost inexistent, the App eq is awful (hands down to jbl, their eq is outstanding) and the fact that even between little details in the codec selection they change sound quality (96/ 32 sounds awful, the best I got was from 96/24 on ldac and le codec which locks the device to one single device) all in all Im covered by the jbl and the op3p, I have my hopes high on the denon, and even though I tweaked a lot the eq on the jbl, the oneplus buds 3 pro still have better sub bass than both of em, such a shame one plus doesn’t use a higher quality codec for other phones than their own overall, I felt that the az100 hype is just that. Hype
r/Earbuds • Now that the hype around the Technics AZ-100 is over, are they really worth the money? ->Well I have used all 3 so maybe I can pitch in. I didn't like the ANC on the OnePlus buds 3 pro. The OnePlus 4 had raving reviews and they are pretty cheap in my country so I picked them up but unfortunately the ANC isn't great and for me calls are really important. The ANC is good with music on but can't do much when outdoor on calls. I would suggest the Samsung Buds 3 pro incase you are looking for something as an upgrade
r/Earbuds • I am heavily surprised by the quality of these $60 earbuds ->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 ->Just take the OnePlus pro 3
r/Earbuds • What are the Best Wireless Earbuds Now? ->Super quality I'm using this for 1yr I'm not facing any issues perfectly fine and fit quality also super
r/oneplus • OnePlus Buds Pro 3 — Honest Review ->Try it you will get addicted to those oneplus buds
