    Hey everyone! Quick disclaimer. I wanted to keep all the headphones under $100 USD retail price. I also have the Soundcore Space Q45 and Edifier WH-700NB in my spreadsheet. I just wanted to focus on one headphone for each brand. Enjoy the video!

    helpful vid. Along with watching a lot of other reviews I landed on the Earfun Wave Pro as I wanted cheap backup pair of headphones. I currently own the Bose QC Ultra as my main, Soundcore Q45 as my former backup, and now the Earfun. I did try the 1more years ago but connectivity issues was the main problem for me especially multipoint. So far the Earfuns have been great and the EQ is what is working for me. Still an Anker and Soundcore fan so will also use my Q45 but hope they slim down the earcup bulkiness.

    What the Sonoflow lacks in features makes up for it in SOUND. Man, with the correct EQ settings, they SOUND EXPENSIVE. In terms of sound, they can go toe-to-toe with Edifier and Sony’s flagships. Yes, I said it. And I tested a lot of headphones when I was active in the audiophile hobby (not so much now). Pull down the bass, keep most of the mids as is, and you can be aggressive with the treble (they’re pretty recessed) and have hi-res Bluetooth headphones that punch above their price point. I totally agree with you. The reason why I picked them. Also, it has a really nice carrying case and gunmetal finish. Absolute bang for your back. By the way, did I forget to mention that this comparison is fantastic? Good stuff, man! Cheers!

  • @PerfectExsneeder
    @PerfectExsneeder 2 місяці тому +1

    I have one question and four suggestions.
    Question : You say 1More Sonoflow can do max 95.8db yet Amir from audiosciencereview measured one with bluetooth connection up to 113 db, this is massive 17db difference! You said in previous video that you just put SPL meter in the earcup. You measure max volume without creating seal with flat plate coupler or head simulator like DSP Ears or G.R.A.S Kemar?
    Suggestion 1: One big thing I care about that you dont do is distortion measurements. I would like if you made distortion vs frequency graph or even better, multiple graphs at different volume levels like 85, 95, 105db for example. To make it even better you could show the level of individual harmonics ie second order, third order etc.
    Suggestion 2: Give us waterfall plots, ringing caused by resonances can seriously decrease sound quality and while frequency response and phase response are interlinked, its much better visible in waterfall plots than in frequency response plots, especially after smoothing is applied.
    Suggestion 3: Buy in ear, inside pinna measurements microphones like MS-TFB-2-MKII from Sound Professionals for example. They cost like 250$ and give the most accurate measurements. Even 25k$ G.R.A.S Kemar head simulator cannot defeat real human head!
    Suggestion 4: Always mention and show if and how much angled are the drivers. I much prefer sound of headphones with angled drivers.

    • @pickyaudio

    I'm surprised that the Soundcore Space One got an 8 for Sound Quality. I found that they have an extremely weird tuning where the included EQ couldn't save them and the sound is always unnatural and cold. That's a great shame because their Liberty 4 NC earbuds punch well above their price with their sound and the rest of the Space One package is outstanding.
