AirPods Pro master race

I’ve never tried them but probably Beats or Bose.

Beats are all marketing-driven. Their products don't close top 3 in any category imo

If convenience is most important, look no further than the Airpods, or even the newer beats earbuds. However, it depends what's most important to you. For myself, I didn't need the best noise cancelling, but I wanted really good sound quality, which is how I settled on my Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ's (got a good sale on them). It all depends on what's most important to you when it comes to sound quality, noise cancelling, convenience and other features, as well as price.

I use Powerbeats to lift and Airpods for calls/music/day-to-day. Recently lost me Airpods and I’ve felt half naked ever since

“lost me AirPods”

Are you Irish or just talk like Conor McGregor? 😂😂😂

At this point, I just use my Airpod Pro's for virtually everything - whether that's noise cancelling on planes or running. I got tired of carrying around multiple different sets. I used to have the sony over the ear (incredible sound IMO) and then power beats for working out. I've not used the Bose earbuds but have heard really good things about them.

You won't go wrong with AirPod pros

Can you run in them though? Or jump rope?

Not an Airpod person, find they don't fit my ears at all. I really like the Jabra headphones. The 85t are great if you're a headphone buff for ~$170, but the 65t can be found new for under $80 and is a great deal at that price point. They work fine with Apple stuff.

Typically use the airpod pros and love them for everything... with that said have had a few friends using the airpod max's and they seem super sick... the price tho is killer

I can’t wear Airpods because someone said one time that they looked like ear tampons and now I can’t un-see it.

I use Powerbeats Pro because they simply do not fall out and the sound quality is sufficient. The case, however, is too big, which makes them imperfectly mobile.

Everybody's different.

Sony wf- 1000XM3's and Xm4's - I recommend these are you can EQ them easily making them great all arounders no matter what sound signature you prefer.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are also great

Disregard the earpopds and treat yourself to a better listening experience.
