"with great deep bass response. ... I have no idea how they achieved this without an airtight seal like other earbuds need."

"the noise esp for shooter/online games are terrible"
"The only device I notice audio latency is with the quest 2, and 3. It's required to have wired there imo. I can't think straight in a fps if my audio isn't in sync with gun shots, it really fucks with me."
"If you are into FPS games and ms latencies, the AirPods are gonna irk you terribly."

"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"

"Normal movements and exercise cause the earbuds to very frequently shift around inside my ears which can cause the seal to break, and they sound horrendous when the seal is broken. ... A lot of common exercises cause the seal to break for me, especially those that involve lying on the floor. ... So ironically the Powerbeats Pro 2 are not very good at their primary intended use case (working out) for me."
"Sadly, they were really uncomfortable for my ears. ... Both of my ears would start feeling extremely sore after like 15 mins of use (even though I used them for +5 hours trips, I was in pain but I enjoyed the sound haha)."
"it doesn't fit me at all as soon as I put it on, I have a huge pain in my ears"

"most of them are the shape of airpods 4 which I'm not comfortable with either. ... the samsung buds are so good considering they're exactly like airpods 4"
"Both the FE and the pro have bigger 'buds' than their original ears and are too big for mine unfortunately. ... I just want a very tiny bud with rounded/bullet tips instead of the oval tips they use today."
Thanks for the response anyways. I also own the Galaxy Buds Live and they're pretty underwhelming for me so do you have any experience with them?
r/headphones • KZ Carol Review (TWS) ->Pros sound better I have them and don’t use them much (sometimes when I’m outside for an hour or two). I just hate the feeling with silicone tips inside my ears (tried different brands and it was the same or worse). I loved AirPods 2,3 and now just bought 4s with ANC (actually haven’t unpacked yet). I also really like Samsung LiveBuds - I think those are much better than people say.
r/airpods • Airpod 4’s or the Airpods pro 2’s ->Samsung galaxy ear buds i got when I got my phone through a deal
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->My personal favorite are the Buds Live. They are the most comfortable earbuds that Samsung has. I really wish they made a second gen tho..
r/GalaxyS25Ultra • What do you consider the Best Earbuds for your S25U? ->I used the Samsung galaxy live. The bean ones that DON'T go inside my ear. I still hear a good amount of my surroundings since they don't go in my ear. Ive used them daily for about 5 years. Battery life has gone down some but I use one at a time anyways and alternate so they still last me beyond a 12 hour shift. They're an old model for cheap now. About $100
r/electricians • Good earphones ->Buds2 Pro, Buds Live, & Buds FE with my Galaxy & Airpods Pro's 1&2 with my iPhone.
r/S24Ultra • What wireless earbuds are you guys using? ->You already get a Samsung phone... just go get Samsung Galaxy Buds Live with a price around $100, what's more important, the same system works better, or Shokz Openfit if you have sporting demand
r/Earbuds • Small open style wireless earbud recommendations? ->Suction feeling? Like your ear canals can't breathe? Or while you're trying to take them out? Have you tried changing the tips? Sometimes silicone can get slimy. You can get foam tips which may change how they feel in your ears. How about ones with active noise canceling instead of passive? Passive noise canceling uses physical means to cancel out noise. Samsung Galaxy Live buds are like beans that just sit in your ear folds rather than in your canals. They have active noise canceling because of how they fit. Maybe something like that?
r/AuDHDWomen • Need recommendations for noise canceling earbuds that does cause the uncomfortable suction feeling 😬 ->No. Have used Bose, Sennheiser, and Technics (all within the last 60 days) and the Galaxy are the worst of the 4. Biggest complaint is the connectivity problems as I use them for work. I gave up trying to connect them to my laptop after 3 tries. Ain't nobody got time or that! Would be remiss if I didn't mention (like many others) how awkward taking them in and out of the charging case can be. I tried the Technics and returned them after 30 days because altho they are top notch, I found them to be uncomfortable. Tried the Sennheisers for about 2 weeks and those were returned due to call quality (complaints from people I talked to over the phone). I returned the Samsungs after 3 days. The Bose were my original ones and those were great, but I had them in my pocket and leaned up against a desk and broke one.. wanted to try others so currently on this journey. Next purchase may be the Sonys.. but something tells me I'm going to end up buying a new set of Bose. I might get the Technics again tho, as I've read elsewhere that upgrading the tips might be a good solution.
r/galaxybuds • Galaxy buds 3 pro ->I've tried some Galaxy Earbuds and they're fine once you put the helmet on but when you take off your helmet, it will hurt your ears. Especially if you have a very snug fitting helmet.
r/motorcyclegear • Best ear buds for under the helmet ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
