"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."
"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."

"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"I use it for the same reasons and love it. ... I would not consider the regular Apple Watch because of battery life."
"the battery life easily lasts 10+ hours."

"they are the most incredible things I've ever stuck in my ears hahaha. ... They aren't exaggerating when they talk about not only the bass, but the clarity of these things. ... 3 separate drivers in each ear so you don't drown out the mids and highs with the bass. ... It's like having a crazy sound system in your car and putting tweeters in there to keep the vocals crisp and clean. ... They have a 10 mm driver for lows, then 2 armature drivers for mids and highs. ... Fantastic earbuds and I haven't shut up about them since I got them lol ... I bought some status between 3anc which have 3 drivers... 1 dedicated bass and lows driver. Then 2 armature drivers for mids and highs. ... I will never buy another brand of earbuds. These things are absolutely incredible!!"
"But they do sound phenomenal. ... They are close to my bose over the ears."
"I also agree that they're the best sounding earbuds I've ever had by quite a bit. ... If it wasn't for the amazing sound quality... I wouldn't deal with these things. But they really sound that good."

"The headset's weak clamp force ... Many people, including myself, find the headset doesn’t fit snugly against the ears and head. ... this decision backfired. ... these changes are too significant in my opinion and ultimately more disappointing than satisfying."
"less comfortable ear foam are significant drawbacks. ... The foam doesn’t really prevent sound leakage around the ear cups, unlike the Gen 2. ... Additionally, the foam lacks the plushness and thickness needed to keep the audio from escaping from the drivers. ... these changes are too significant in my opinion and ultimately more disappointing than satisfying."
"they always shook a little loose while running ... I was always fiddling with them"

"They are pretty fragile ... mine came apart when trying to clean them lol ... somehow I put too much pressure on the nozzle and it came apart from the rectangle piece and broke the anc ribbon cable ... Still works though, just no more anc for me!"
"My biggest gripe with these is the transparency mode and ANC. I think it's terrible. ... With both features, anytime a "loud" noise is detected it makes a loud clipping sound and turns either transparency or anc off on the ear the sound was detected. ... This is super annoying to me so I don't even use these features."
"Transparency can get a bit crowded, muddy and boomy past like 50% volume."

"the case won't open. Constantly sticks and I have to wrench it open, and it feels like I'm breaking it."
"I did break the zipper during a heavy rain, I was used to the stretchy silnylon deschutes plus. I stretched the solo too tight and when I went to unzip it, the zipper stretched completely apart from the tension."

BEST sounding, are Nobel Audio Fokus Rex5 or Devialet Gemini 2... I also have the Status Audio Between 3ANC, Denon Perl Pro, Technics AZ100, and B&W Pi8... All of those are really great choices as well.
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds has the best sound quality? ->For sound quality, music streaming, and ANC, the Status Between 3ANC smokes the AZ100... BUT, in terms of functionality, call quality, Customizability, the AZ100 is better... Status is boasting that their new Status Pro X buds are a huge improvement of the 3ANC'S, I got my pre-order in, so we shall see about that.
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds has the best sound quality? ->I got my 3anc's maybe 6-7 months ago... I haven't had any issues with them at all... The only issue I ever had was when I first got them... Right out of the box, there was a firmware update, not uncommon thing any earbud... I ran the update, no problem there... After the update, the touch controls were kinda wonky (not very responsive). I did a hard reset on the buds, been flawless since. I like my 3anc so well, when they announced the pre-order for the upcoming Pro X buds, I pre-ordered those and went and ordered a pair of their first gen buds, Between Pro out of curisoity...
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds has the best sound quality? ->Status Audio Between 3ANC are excellent in the price range.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds ->I recommend Status Audio earbuds... The new Pro X are awesome and their Between 3ANC are excellent as well, can't go wrong with either pair, depends on your budget.
r/Earbuds • Frustrated looking for earbuds ->Bro. Holy sht. Im a/b ing my tws collection today and realized im full of it. Listening to some Revocation album and the Liberty 3 pros destroys them all lol. Im returning my Denon Perl Pros tomorrow (lack separation compared to L3P, more muddy and has a weird timbre on the mids) It was a re purchase for 149. Still lost the 2nd time around. I thought the nothing ears were better too, but upon comparison the nothings are grainier and lacking resolution. The only one who can go toe to toe with them in my collection are the Status 3ancs, which has better treble reproduction (cymbals are more fleshed out, L3P sometimes have metallic treble). I just cant believe my ears. The L3Ps are still right there among the top (for metal). I just wished their midrange reproduction was better. For that i pull out my AZ80s. Now i am onto the Gemini 2s, If I dont find them SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than the L3Ps I am gonna lose my mind lol.
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s daily driver true wireless earbuds ->Status Audio Between 3ANC. They are fantastic.
r/BuyItForLife • Wireless earbuds that still let you hear outside? ->Status Audio Between 3ANC. They are just perfect for me and my music listening. And phone calls. And optional noise cancellation. And Teams meetings. And… https://www.status.co/products/between-3anc
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->I have the earlier version of Status and I bought after market soft foam tips.
r/Earbuds • Status Audio Pro X ->I don’t think back then they had official ones. Mine are the between 3ANC. I see on their website now they have official ones 🤣
r/Earbuds • Status Audio Pro X ->That’s weird. Again I am not sure if mine will work with pros or not. Like I mentioned I have the between 3ANCs . I bought them when they were launched
r/Earbuds • Status Audio Pro X ->I just got the 3ANC for £110 at half price 2 weeks ago… Great sound and fits well compared to my previous daily (Airpods pro 2).. I am not a big fan of the transparency mode, I’ve had to take the earphones off when talking to people as the transparency wasn’t that great / loud … I’m thinking about returning them for the Pro X.
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds Under $200 in 2025? ->I’ve had a pair since they came out… Never failed me, I dropped them in water a month ago and although they work, I seem to have issues with the microphone so I’ve decided to wander outside the Apple ecosystem & got a status 3ANC.. i don’t think i can go back to listening music on an Airpod!!
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds Under $200 in 2025? ->The sound quality is better than earbuds twice the full price so $50 is a great deal. They have 3 separate drivers, one for bass, one for mids, and one for highs. I have a pair of them and the Status Between 3ANCs (noise canceling version) and they’re both awesome. I’m honestly surprised at the downvotes. The reviews on YouTube are fantastic. As far as jigging (or jogging) goes, they come with 3 different sized tips as well as 3 different sized “Fitwings” so you can mix and match to find the best fit.
r/Earbuds • Under $100 wireless earbuds? ->Status Between series. They have phenomenal sound quality IMO.
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s favorite premium earbuds ->Don't get the status 3ANC earbuds. Sound quality is great but the noise canceling sucks!
r/Earbuds • What’s everyone’s favorite premium earbuds ->I now use pixel bud pro 2 and love them. However I originally balked at the price. Then I added up how much I'd spent on a drawerful of cheap ones I _didn't_ like. I got the pixel buds from for a reasonable price, and they're currently listed at Amazon for $208.14. caution: Google has 2 other cheaper inferior pixel buds not recommended. As a backup pair I use some Status Between 3ANCs, which sound great, but have crappy touch controls. They're also on the large side, and look sorta dorky. But the audio and ANC are really good. Cheaper than pixel buds pro2 by roughly $50. I tried several Sony buds and meh. Although Sony over the ear headphones are great. About $350, but worth it, especially for flying. YMMV
r/pixel_phones • Earphones ->Status 3ANC are absolutely better than the options listed here. I just got my Pro X’s about a week ago so too soon to have a real opinion but first impressions is very good.
