Sir, did i make a good choice getting the Earfun Air pro 4?
Which earbuds are the best to use when i just wanna have the best experience listening to music, movies and have the best immersive journey in those terms? that would help me so much to decide!!
please make this video for 2024 end of years. i need reference best tws 2024
Good job! Can you do one for earbuds under $100?

I work in an excavator. What’s the best to wear in heavy loud machinery?
Please try ikko active buds!!! I really wanna know how it compares to the airpods pros
I have both the AirPod pros 2 and the Bose and I do prefer the Bose.
I’ve also just bought the Huwawei Free Clips which are shockingly good.
Have you tried BW-FYE15?
Help me i cant choose between nothing ear and samsung galaxy buds 2 pro both gonna cost me $95
Don’t understand why Sony earbuds are so praised. I don’t find Sony active noise cancellation works. Also the sound is so flat and I’ve to use EQ to make it more dynamic.
Hi
Great reviews
What would you recommend for a in ear earbud with best ambient sound for use with a samsung phone?
Can I use the Air-tag feature with my Google phone for the Airpod 2s? Do I need an apple phone to use it?
what earbuds would you recommend rog cetra speed nova tws or jbl quantum tws for gaming?
Their sound at maximum is awful. Don’t raise the volume more than 80% because the sound becomes pretty poor😢
You should check out the Status Between 3ANC buds
I already have an Airpods pro 2 but I’m using a Samsung S24 ultra. I really want to replace my main driver as I cannot fully maximize the Airpods pro 2 due to me using an android device. There’s also a fear on me when will it die on me since I can’t even see the battery status of it of the airpods so I have to charge them every chance that I got. Right now, I’m torn between XF-1000xm5 vs Nothing ear 2024. Can you folks give me an input regarding these 2? I have the Jabra elite 10 as one of my choice but since Jabra has stopped making them, I’m afraid of future support for it so I dropped it from my consideration
Can you review the Asus ROG Cetra true wireless earbuds and the Soundcore VR P10? And also maybe do a gaming review to see which earbuds can do surround sound like the ROG Cetra? Thank you
Hey super audiophile addicts you know who you are cough DAVE×Mscaler/Hqplayer susvara cough : Hifiman Svanar especially with LDAC manually set to 990Kbps is way above the rest. Only for harmon and resolution, tonality, timbre, speed and dynamics but not for everything else as always
Why your face is so shinny?😂
looking for a good set of earbuds that have a ‘mute’ feature, so while on phone calls I don’t have to fuss with my phone, and I don’t have be concerned with an individual or group on the other end hearing all the noise created on my side of the call. Any suggestions?
What about sony 🙁
that was the greenest pool intro lol
No category for the best microphone??
Jabra series should def be considered but I heard they were gonna stop making earbuds by end of this year
What’s your Apple Music Playlist? I want to follow it.
I noticed the EarFun Air Pros aren’t on this list? They are only £80 atm on Amazon and have some of the best reviews I can find.
Why is this? I’m genuinely interested as I’m trying to make the most informed decision before purchase, seeing as I can not test them out myself
🚨 *QOTD: Which earbud would you choose for the best of the year?* CORRECTION: None of the options listed are bone conduction. I thought I cut that out. My bad.

how long airpods pro 2 lasts ? 3-4 years?
Do you know what iconic even means? A stop sign is iconic because it is immediately recognizable the world over at just a glance regardless of what language you speak or where you live in the world, that is, a red octagon with a white border always means stop. The Nothing Ear 2 is not in any way, shape or form, iconic. AirPods on the other hand are closer to being iconic in their recognizability. Never even seen or heard of this brand or design. You could probably pull 100 random people off the street and I would almost guarantee that at most, fewer than 5 of them have ever heard of this brand and even fewer could identify it at a glance. Language matters when you’re communicating with the public.
Really sad he made the Apple 2 dessicion at last, it’s just unfortunetly so clear, that the reason he chose them was not cause they where the best, but because they were "allright" and HAD THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM – I am so tired of hearing of APPLE ECOSYSTEM, when it’s just a glorified solution to something andriod can do with the right phone and a few apps.
But all in all good and informative video.
Who is the best of this? SoundPEATS Capsule3 Pro+
Nothing ear
One plus buds 3
Earfun air 4
SoundPEATS Air4 Pro
want high sound quality, good ANC and low latency ..
Thanks
how about for calls?
I have Sony WH-1000mx5 headset and was looking for an earbud. I bought airpods pro 2 according to your review and didn’t regret. Thank you so much sir! :salute:
This is one of the worst lists of earbuds I’ve seen. No mention of any actual premium top earbuds brands like B & O, Bowers, Denon, Sennheiser, Devialet, etc.
He says to one of the commenters that he asked Sennheiser if they wanted to be featured and they declined meaning he probably gave the nod to only earbud brands that would sponsor him.
Another commentor he says if you want me to review a brand buy them for me. Not very friendly at all.
This is so damn helpful. Have you evaluated Status products?
thanks. would be great to see a "low latency (gaming) earbuds review". I really hate latency when watching videos (or gaming). Having a USB-C wireless emitter is key for me. Some models I’m checking out are the JBL Quantum TWS and the Sony INZONE Buds. I do wish they could be used while being charged through USB-C; that’s also a dealbreaker for earbuds for me; the show must go on.
L doesn’t even mention soundcore even though they’re literally better than airpods in every way
I’m guessing this must be an apple/guy/salesman. Any other thoughts?
What about JBL Live which has screen on its case?
Help me i cant choose between nothing ear and samsung galaxy buds 2 pro both gonna cost me $95
Great video and comparison. I wish you had also addressed the best microphone for phone calls. The problem with most of these is that on a phone call, or if recording a video for social media, the mics pick up way too much ambient noise making the sound quality on the other end very poor. Any comments on this issue???
