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
Oh ok wow
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.
Powerbeats pro for workin out. AirPods Pro for the rest
+1
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? 😂😂😂
A set of Comply's came with my B&O EQ's and they're much better than the silicone tips.
3x better in what sense?
Airpod pros are great but the mic is super sensitive for phone calls. Trying to talk to someone while walking down the street in NYC and it sounds like you're walking through Fallujah in '04.
Yep. Some of my friends call me using their airpods (not sure if Pro or what) and it legit sounds like they put loose change in a blender. They blame something in the background (oh it's my neighbor's dog) but that's not accurate because it only happens when they have their pods in. I've had to hang up and tell them to take their multi-tasking bullshit elsewhere.
Sony if you're truly brand agnostic.
I've seen from reviews that the XM4's are great all-rounders
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?
Yes and yes. Do both all the time.
Honestly, I'd go with the AirPods Pro unless you exercise intensely. Great noise cancellation and audio quality.
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
Easily worth it. I haven't talked about the Max much on this thread since title said earbuds. But FWIW they have the most useful noise cancellation because they cancel out mid ranges better. i.e. human voices. The other brands (Sony/Bose) are able to cancel out the low ambient noise like airplane engines, but that's less useful than canceling intermittent noise like people talking.
I've heard the Bose QC45 is also starting to cancel out the mids a bit. I've had prior iterations of that product line and they've only been good at cancelling the lows. Maybe better now. But in any event I'd pay up and get the Max.
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.
Sony mate. They're great with music, noise cancelling and when you are on phone calls.
Far stronger than my previous headsets (skull crusher, air pods, Samsung).
