    I’ve switched out my AirPod pro 2 ear tips with foamMaster ear tips and they stay in my ear for hours with better grip until I’m done using it. Plus those foam tips do a much better job at optimizing the noise cancellation feature on the AirPod pro 2 compared to the default silicone tips it comes with

    These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.

    I’ve watched a ton of these reviews for these three buds. Many good videos out there, but your video did maybe the best job of actually showing-not just telling. I already bought the Bose QC II before seeing your video, but I’m still watching reviews because I want some more clarity. The way you showed the fit, all the tips in detail, and squeezed the foam was so helpful. No other video I’ve seen did that. Really nice job. The line graphs were uniquely helpful too.

    Nice review. I have Bose quiet comfort 2. They’re amazing. One thing I’ve found though is that if the firmware isn’t updated on the charging case they will show the single flashing amber and white lights stating there’s a problem and to contact the manufacturer. After updating the firmware, it works fine.
    I did extensive research on these three before going with Bose. Thank you for your review!

Whenever I open Spotify, the music stutters and stops playing from either left/right and fixes itself after 5+ minutes. It's def not my phone (Samsung N9) either bc my QC45's have zero issues with connecting with my phone.

    Putting sonys with largest tip into ears without squishing.

    I got the WF-1000XM4 since release. Speak to chat is absolutely wonderful, the amount of times that someone walks up to me or if I want to quickly focus on traffic is making this feature an absolute lifesaver. I only with that there was no white noise when using ambient mode. And I wish that I could toggle it with a tap or a voice command.
    The noise-canceling is perfect, the battery life is more than enough. Only happens sometimes that I lose battery, but that's only when I forgot to fully charge them.
    The ear tips still work well, and I have had no problems with them. When putting them in I do have to squees them like when putting ear plug in, but they will settle after a minute. Makes them never fall but also not as nice to put in and out of your ear.
    Oh ye, the sound is fantastic! (Not an audiophile) but it's worse than the headsets obviously but I would trade them any day for the convenience.

    I went for the AirPods. Seemed like the perfect fit for me as I do go to some rock concerts and the adaptive transparency has been a lifesaver when in front of the big speakers trying to take pictures. The squeeze controls are also way superior to the touch controls on other earbuds, as you can easily adjust the buds in your ears and not accidentally trigger anything. If you are seriously so lazy that you can’t be bothered to lightly squeeze something a few times then go for some other buds. The noise cancellation is really good as well and when combined with music at somewhere around 75 decibels I have not been able to hear anything but the music.
    Edit: also I completely disagree with this guy when he says “go for the AirPods if you don’t care that much about bass”. It’s a very balanced sound and the bass is just right. It can be slightly punchy but it’s never overwhelming. It won’t be popular with fans who are complete baseline junkies, for that I would have a look at the skullcandy crushers as they have a literal bass slider, but for people like me who want bass but don’t want it to overlap any other sounds it’s perfect.

    • @callisvitor

      You should never use the AirPods Adaptive Transparency as safety earplugs for concerts or similar louder environments. They don’t works as earplugs, and won’t protect you against ear damage. Cause sound vibration will still damage your ear canals without proper earplugs.

      ⁠ ​​⁠​⁠Heads up, the following comment is of a headphone user who cares mostly about sound quality.
      AirPods Pro 2 are the best wireless earbuds of these three dude. The frequency curve is the mostly flat out of the box which, if you didn’t know, allows for the best sound quality. Good headphones have a flat frequency response curve, just look at an audiophile headphones’ frequency response curve. You can also adjust in the settings what kind of listener you are and if you like more bass, you can set your AirPods to be more bass heavy. You just sound like an apple hater lol.

    I actually tend to prefer the stock tuning of the Sony's. They offer a nice emphasis on and texture to lower mids that's lush and unique. There's also a fair amount of high treble which gives everything a nice sparkle and airyness. Things like vocals do take a bit of a back seat, but I feel that the buds have good enough separation that everything tends to sound fairly well defined. That said, I am a little treble sensitive, so others might experience it differently. I occasionally experiment with more treble in the EQ but the original sound usually does me well, especially with very long use times.

  • @KennyVo120
    @KennyVo120 Рік тому +3

    I have some problems with the Bose QC Earbuds 2. The sound quality, fit in the ear and the noise cancellation are great but the noise floor can be very noticeable and quite annoying when listening to quieter songs or if I just want to block out noise to read. It's like a constant fan or rain white noise in the background that doesn't really disappear like other ANC headphones/earbuds I've used. It's at this strange frequency that is different from let's say APP2's slight white noise.
    Aware mode also seems to INCREASE the volume of outside noise at times, I've had to set up a custom mode to prevent this.
    Additionally, it's completely absurd that these earbuds cost $250+ and do not have an option to completely disable ANC. I don't necessarily need to have it on all times and when the two options are complete NC with an annoyingly loud white noise or aware mode with hissing, sometimes I'd rather have none at all...
    Final warning, the app connectivity and software issues are ridiculous with Bose. They have a history with this in the past and this sadly does not end with these earbuds.
    TL;DR - If you don't care about the software and you just want amazing CONSTANT noise cancelation (you can't turn it off), great fit and great music quality, go for the QC 2 Earbuds.
    Otherwise, if you have an iPhone, go for the APP2. The difference in software/hardware integration with zero issues is absolutely day and night in comparison to Bose. Bose wins in the hardware department, but they really, really need to get their shit together in the software department.

    I own the Airpods Pro 2 and never tried the others... but being very balanced/neutral while still translating a lot of detail and deliver an immersive experience is precisely what I'm looking for in any headphones or speakers. As a musician who has been mixing and mastering music for 15 years, I like to hear things the way they've been intended to be heard and not ''enhanced'' in any other way. Just like I use calibrated TV and monitors, without any gimmicky options enabled or tweaking done to ''enhance'' any aspect of the imagerie, so I can see colors as the colorist was seeing them (or as close as possible).

    I tried the air pods once but the sound was just too bright for me and I didn't see a way to adjust it. When I got the Sony XM4's I was really disappointed until I ran the tuning app, wow. When you adjust them to your own taste they are marvelous. I use them mostly for driving and cutting grass, I have a very large yard that takes several hours to mow. While I can still hear my lawnmower it is VERY soft and I can enjoy music or audio books easily, it makes cutting the grass a pleasure. I recently got the Sony XM5's. The batteries on my XM4's gave out. I sent the Sony SM4's back to Sony after having them for a couple years and they replaced the batteries at no charge. Before sending the XM4's back to Sony I had an opportunity to get the XM5's, the newest Sony, it didn't occur to me that you could replace the batteries in the 4's. I like my 4's, I like them a lot but I think I like the lightness and size better on the 5's. There is only a little enhancement of ANC on the 5's over the 4's but you can wear them for 6 hours and not even think about comfort, they just don't bother you and I think their transparency mode is really special unless you cough while mowing. Because the XM5's are so comfortable I was really leary of using them to cut the grass, I just didn't beileve that something so comfortable would stay in my ears, I haven't had a problem though. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these earbuds, there is no good better and best only best bester and bestest (I know that isn't a word but works for me) perhaps. I have Sony over the ear headphones XM4's and I find the ear pods far superior I think mostly because of the foam tips that cancel a great deal of noise even without ANC turned on. In less noisy environments ( not cutting grass) the extreme quiet of the earbuds makes the nuance of sounds of orchestras or perhaps any kind of music easy to discern.

The latter is far from a gimmic but rather an incredible quality of life improvement feature that is well thought out and almost flawless. Also battery life on the Sonys is double what is stated in the video. 8hrs with ANC and almost 12hrs with ANC off! Far cry from the 6hrs mentioned in the video. Have had my pair of XM4s two months now and 8-12hrs is spot on and what I get. That's before needing to recharge buds in case.

    UPDATE: they only lasted two months lol. In their defense I think I probably got a faulty pair but still a comical amount of time. Loss of volume, crackling, painful thumping, and inconsistent noise cancelling.
