I understand that the Soundpeats Engine 4 have pretty great sound quality and that they're really cheap, but I wouldn't put them in S tier considering they don't have anything else. No noise canceling is insane at this point, and Soundpeats app still needs a lot of work. I understand they have a really great value for what they offer, but the lack of features should drop them to A tier at least.
Totally, I have the Earbuds and I bought them knowing that I would only use them exclusively for the sound. It is S tier if you are considering price and sound only, A tier or even B tier considering everything else.
Real issue with the buds: while the sound quality is insane, but the buds give up after a few months. Bought my first pair Nov 2023, left earbud had lower output by April. Had them replaced for free, and not even half a year in (April - Aug 2024) the right earbud had lower volume. Now they're asking me to send the buds to China so they can check. I'm not even sure I want another pair even if they offered to replace again for free.
@@alwaystheparadox are you sure it isn't earwax build up? I had that problem with my Soundpeats Free2 Classic and I just cleaned the protective grill, and it was good as new.
Me too. I'd still watch the video. I just don't know if I'm wasting my time now watching it. I'm quickly searching for some type of real review in English, about some cheap name brand earbuds.
Link buds s are probably to date my favorite tws I've used. The microphones died in it from going in and out of the warehouse freezer so much so now I can't use ambient or anc without an awful white noise on one side.
I've had the same problem with them. I had to return them 3 times already. The awful white noise occurs after like 3-6 months of use. So I can't really recommend them even though they are great earbuds.
Bro, I always heard people complaining about Sony's headphones, beginner about the battery that was soon discharging. Even so I risked and bought 2 Sony Linkbuds (for me and another for this one), both are having battery drainage problems. I collect earbuds and I've never seen anything like it, Sony never again.
It's difficult to understand the video because it doesnt have the name of the brands below, it's not divided into chapters and there are no models in the description.
@@emperormoist3851 yes, but I and I believe that many here objectively wanted these information (because I have no interest in listening to reviews of all these headphones) and nothing was written
I have the Soundcore Liberty 4nc, and I'm blown away by them. Sound is really good, the app and connectivity work without a problem on a few different divices (android and windows) that I connect them to. I cannot say anything bad about them.
@@Hassnain-my6vr I haven't heard the Beats, so cannot compare. Bass on the Soundcore is very good, but not exagerated, so if you really like strong bass, I'd probably recommend some JBL instead.
JBL Tour Pro 2, Huawei freebuds pro 3, nothing ear (2024), Samsung Galaxy buds pro 3, anker liberty 4 Pro, which do you think provides the clearest and highest quality sound?
I'm on this video because I'm looking for a replacement for my Sony Linkbuds S. Seeing you almost put them in S makes me disregard pretty much everything else in the video. I have them for a year or so and, when they work, they are great. However, they have MAJOR issues that are so common (look at user reviews in sites where you can buy these). The biggest one and the reason I need to replace them is that one of the buds is not charging anymore. It charges to only about 10-20%. Apparently all of Sony's buds have this issue so I'd avoid them entierly. Another issue is that sometimes there's a weird background noise in one of the buds. It comes and goes randomly. This is the issue with most reviews/reviewers. They use the product for just a few hours and give a verdict. I get why it is that way but clearly you can't rely on them fully when making purchase decisions.
Never had the Linkbuds S, but I’ve had that same issue on multiple XM Sony buds. They stop charging equally, one side dies quick and never fully charges etc
Same here Josh, my left one has died. I’m looking for an alternative, liberty 4nc has caught my attention, but I can get the pixel buds pro, Samsung buds pro 2, one plus buds pro 2, 1more evo and the Marshall motif 2 for the same price now (£120 )
No one seems to care about sound quality. But as a guy who has returned a lot of dumb expensive headphones. The King is Huawei freebuds pro 2 and 3. With Tezo X1 coming in second. However, this only matters if you have Android. Nothing is really going to be good audio quality on iPhone due to a lack of any decent codecs. In fact Samsung copied freebuds pro 2 and 3 in upcoming Galaxy buds pro 3 (planar...). But I'll probably return those as well since Samsung didn't want to pay Sony for LDAC... But I can be wrong and Samsung actually pulled it off. These reviewers honestly don't care about sound quality. Your best bet is trying it all yourself somehow.
@@mortezamoryhajiha4452 Actually alot of UA-camrs aren't reviewing the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3, they are great sets of buds plus the features too, my order is already on the way, can't wait to use them & pair them to my 15 Pro Max, skipped the Airpods Pro 2 for these.
@@maegnificant Well I cannot even test Samsung's new codec with my new buds pro 3 (shipped early) on my samsung ultra s22... Apparently not new enough. But I turned off LDAC on the freebuds pro 3 and compared it to the bud pro 3... and sad to say, the samsungs sucked bad in the comparison. They were not as bad as WF1000XM5... but They should be much better than this since they are now using the same tech that freebuds pro has been using for 3 years (the planar drivers)
I have some Linkbuds that are in repair now because of low battery, and my backup Fiil earbuds have finally started falling apart after 5 years of abuse, so this is timely. The Linkbuds are excellent while they last, but their batteries fail just like the XM4s', and their support response is hit or miss.
What about Technics az80 (one of my favorite), Jabra, the new nothing ear (my favorite), Gemini 2 (best sounding of all of them)? Ranking list is not complete without Az80, Jabra, Nothing ear
Based off MSRP, I’d agree. I got my AirPod Pro 2 for 170 and that feels like a worth price but makes them and A. Where’s the Skull Candy Rail ANC? I got those recently for 50 and they are up there past the AP2s to me. I’d love to see the other list of Budget, open ear and Sport.
Just snagged engine 4 in the recent AliExpress sale for only $40! I'm really impressed with the sound quality. The only drawback is that if you're on the shorter side, like around 5'5", you might find them a bit heavy and bulky.
How many months or years did you use your linkbuds S? What size of eartips did you use? The LL eartips has good seal in my ears but it gets uncomfortable after 30 min of use.
@@Ironman31389 Almost two years now, bought right after launch. I use the S size and is comfortable throughout the time. The tip size is subjective, may be try rotating the device slightly. I noticed that discomfort is caused when plastic touches the outer ear (concha).
Serious question here... I need to buy a replacement for my Cambridge Audio Melomania 1, they just stopped holding a charge (they have served me right I got them back in 2020 if I recall correctly). My main use would be to go to the gym, when I first got them they were my main driver on the go, but now I use IEMs when I am out and about. My 4 contenders are SoundPEATS Opera05 $90, SoundPEATS Engine4 $59, the Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 $159, and SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds Pro 2 $103. I don't care about call quality, or tons of control (I usually hit shuffle on a playlist and go), or even ANC. They need to sound great, no bass bloat, flat sound the better (but that is hard to find in TW), and they have to be comfortable. What would you recommend?
I RARELY comment on videos and if I do it's generally positive but I've gotta critique a TWS tier list that fails to mention call quality or how well transparency mode performs. Those are literally the 2 most important things to me and most of the people I know. The main thing A LOT of people use these things for is phone calls. Please, next time you make a TWS tier list, include these things🙏 Oh, and ergonomics and things comparable to Apples force sensor (Taptic Engine) are other biggies. It seems like no UA-cam reviewer mentions these things. Other than those caveats your doing a good job and it's a service to us as consumers. You guys have legitimately become the modern day Consumer Reports fr! Thank you for your time and effort that you put into your content. Sorry if I came across snarky.

It would be great if the grade chart would take up less of the screen. Half the screen could've been reserved to show a bigger image of the product along with bulletpoints of why they stood out or not.
I sold my airpods pro 2 and was looking for some cheap decent earbuds for daily use Got the Engine 4 for just 45$, I was a little skeptical at first and i took me some time to stop missing apple spatial audio , but I've been testing them and the sound quality is quite surprising it's not as smooth as the AirPods but they still have multipoint connection that kinda works so overall I'm really happy with them thanks for the review!
I wanted to love the link buds but I've been plagued with issues on them. Mostly with connection. Could've just got a bad pair. I'm gonna check out the S tier though! I'm due for a new set of buds.
I like you put these buds on a tier list! You can categorize them so many ways like a noise canceling tier list, sound quality tier list, or an IEM tier list. I look forward to more of your videos!
I wasn't too happy with my Devialet's tbh. They have good punchy bass but the rumbling sub bass was missing so I enjoyed my Sennheiser MTW3 much better because of that despite being less clear. I really liked the size of the Devialet's tho, very comfortable to sleep with or use under a helmet
Soundcore is such a good company. They have really good prices too, if you are tight on money you could buy 40-60 dollar headphones or earbuds that feel like they cost 150 dollars and the sound quality is great, good bass, sound cancelling or transparent mode and excellent battery life. The soundcore Q20 headphones are like 60 bucks although they are on sale more often than they are not for around 40 dollars, and they are phenomenal. 60 hour battery life and they charge to full battery in just over a hour
Good video. Do one that focuses a bit on mic quality. Also need good sound and ANC but there’s a large audience who primarily cares about mic quality for work
I cam across these in SE Asia .... I tested them and the had strong bass and clarity BOROFONE BW59 Plus True Wireless ANC Noise Reduction Bluetooth Earbuds --- $20
Just wondering Is there a reason why is there no earfun devices? the pro series fits me well, and I was hoping the new ones (pro 3 I think) sounds good or offers good value. Thanks mate.
I have the Momentum 4, Buds 2 Pro, QC Earbuds 2, and WF-1000XM5. I enjoy them all but the Momentum 4 is the best in terms of sound quality. Fit/comfort and NC aren't bad. Not a fan of its mic quality along with the XM5
I would really like to know of any good earbuds that dont use touch control because mine always mess up if i wear my hood or if i lay down. Great video, thanks
My problem for the soundpeats engine 4 is that it's extremely slippery and that needs to be addressed by most of these companies. It's a pain to get the earbuds out of the case. Not worth the hassle it brings.
Nice list... however I have to say that I'm surprised there's no Earfun products, as I'm a big fan and think they have some really solid products for budget prices. The Free Pro 3 stay in my rotation. But great work like always man 💯💪
The Soundpeats Air 4 Pros are tuned just like the Engine 4 the sound quality is pretty close between the two. Engine 4 is better but it's not that big of a difference. Thanks Gamesky i enjoyed this episode. 💯👍🇺🇸
Please consider including the Cambridge Audio M100 for comparison in future as they beat hands down in practically all categories especially sound quality than other makes even some of those twice the price.
@@OfficialGamesky I have the soundcore liberty 3 pro but they fall off my ears, what you recommend for 150-200$ earbuds Or should I just try the fit bro for myself?
@@OfficialGamesky also I made my decision I think I want the AirPods Pro 2 currently at 170$ at Walmart or should I get the fit pro? I prefer great bass and great sound quality over any features
I think there should also be a durability test. There are people reporting that some of these have issues in a few weeks of use, so even if cheap if quality is not there, then it is useless. Unless because of Corp greed like planned obsolescence like with Sony with their xm4 fiasco.
Soundpeats has better audio and better transparency mode, Soundcore has better ANC, battery and case. To me it comes down to the fact that I think the soundpeats look like bootleg iems to me for some reason so I would taka the 4NC
@@kamenxxx9037 My update is that my SC 4NC has came with a dead battery in the left bud (it was working out of the box but died in about a day), tho it looks like it was just bad luck, there's not many complains online about QC issues, other than that it has a chunky case, a nice app and fits my ears better than my Galaxy Buds 2, tho its waaaaay less confortable to sleep with them (due to the stems). Compared to my Truthear Hexas IEMs everything feels compressed and bloated because of bluetooth bit crunch (wich I think is the reason that the SP 4pro sounds clearer, it has better codexes) but still sounds good enough that I dont feel like I NEED to reach for the Hexa's to actually appreciate something. Overall I'm satisfied (except for the fact it died) but if you dont mind a worse app, less battery life and no wireless charging (and the looks, cause they do look a bit cheap), I would save the 25 bucks and go for the SP 4pro
Thanks for confirming the Soundpeats Engine 4, I have them they sound awesome and if you just need to listen to music there are the best the deal out there in my opinion. Pick them up for under $50
My engine 4's right one is dead after 1 year. :( didnt even drop it or didnt even use mostly right one. Always used left one because of my work. or used both. sad :(
I like the tracking feature on AirPods, it literally saved me. I lost them on this huge campus and miraculously found them due to the tracking precision
Great video. I regret abit for buying sony linkbuds S earbuds. But lately my left side earbuds drains much much faster than the right side earbuds. Any ideas why it happened like that?
It's a super common problem. Try cleaning them thoroughly (there's some videos on youtube showing how). However, even that doesn't always work in which case you either send them to warranty or discard them. As far as build quality goes, they're some cheap piece of shit chinese garbage with a sony logo on it.
I'd pay twice as much for Soundcore over Soundpeats. Luckily you dont have to! But Soundpeats is inconsistent at best. One of a few china brands who came out with some “shockingly good for the price" buds a couple years ago that gained them some fan base… and then they proceeded to pump out cheap trash with fake Amazon reviews on a cycle so fast people don’t have time to call them out for it before another one comes out. True story, avoid Soundpeats
Absolutely perfect foo A tier list, cant say about S tier but you are thhe only one who do not go gagga about sonny wf 1000x mm5 as lots of people rate them as best. If possible please do a combine review of cmf buds, cmf buds pro and cmf neckbend pro by nothing as for the price they might surprise you.
I don't know a lot about the engine 4 but air pro 4 would be almost perfect if it's just had slightly more battery life unfortunately it's not the best when it comes to battery life
Actually the best feature of the AirPods Pro is the seamless connection across all devices, and as someone who owned an iPhone, iPad, Mac and an Apple TV for me its S tier for usability
Well, i got engine 4 literally 1 years ago but alhtough i use mostly left one, the right one has problem now, desibel? decreased like %50. now i cant use both together unfortunatly. btw sound quality is amazing for real.
I enjoy the video, thanks. I don’t agree with a lot of your rankings. I have tried a lot of earbuds and we all have different functions that we would like in them. Apple, I love the Sennheiser earbuds, but the case is just too big for daily use. That that being said, I usually don’t pay full price for things and I’m sure that changes the value scale.
Definitely not a rating based on much experience with these. I was with you up until the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. I have them AND the AirPods Pro 2, and there’s no world where they’re above the AirPods. Although they have good sound quality, AirPods sound quality is better. The Buds also have not-so-good ambient/transparency mode, whereas the AirPods kill it there. Last, noise cancellation is “okay” on the Buds, but is great on the AirPods.
Nothing against raycon but aren't they towards the bottom? I got skullcandy dime 3 today cause my beats studio buds went through a 90min wash cycle ugh.and I'm too cheap to buy $150-$200 for earbuds right now.
Been watching the channel for quite some time, but its been a couple years since i popped in for a video. Gotta say, loving the grey in that beard, lookin sharp. Matches mine to a T. Perks of gaining more experience in the world, am I right? Glad to see you're still at it, hope to see more soon! 😅 Btw, still rocking my Lypertek Tevis from years ago, best purchase I ever made for buds, all cuz of your vids. Cheers 🍻
the soundpeats are really cheap , but no anc for this reason, even for 30 bucks, i could not consider buying them . If i want tws without anc, i would rather buy an ear clip that really allows me to be aware of my surroundings and don't force me to wear an eartip inside my ear
The key things I look for are comfort #1, App controls #2, and sound quality #3. I feel like you only prioritize value and sound quality is mentioned. And sometimes the app. I like your video but I don't like your rating structure.

They have really good prices too, if you are tight on money you could buy 40-60 dollar headphones or earbuds that feel like they cost 150 dollars and the sound quality is great, good bass, sound cancelling or transparent mode and excellent battery life. The soundcore Q20 headphones are like 60 bucks although they are on sale more often than they are not for around 40 dollars, and they are phenomenal. 60 hour battery life and they charge to full battery in just over a hour
Good video. Do one that focuses a bit on mic quality. Also need good sound and ANC but there’s a large audience who primarily cares about mic quality for work
I cam across these in SE Asia .... I tested them and the had strong bass and clarity
BOROFONE BW59 Plus True Wireless ANC Noise Reduction Bluetooth Earbuds --- $20
Just wondering Is there a reason why is there no earfun devices? the pro series fits me well, and I was hoping the new ones (pro 3 I think) sounds good or offers good value. Thanks mate.
I have the Momentum 4, Buds 2 Pro, QC Earbuds 2, and WF-1000XM5. I enjoy them all but the Momentum 4 is the best in terms of sound quality. Fit/comfort and NC aren't bad. Not a fan of its mic quality along with the XM5
I got the SoundPete based on your rating.. They are way too quiet… compared to my AirPods Pro 2
I would really like to know of any good earbuds that dont use touch control because mine always mess up if i wear my hood or if i lay down. Great video, thanks
Sabbat e12 ultra
My problem for the soundpeats engine 4
is that it's extremely slippery and that needs to be addressed by most of these companies.
It's a pain to get the earbuds out of the case. Not worth the hassle it brings.
Tozo T6? is it actually good? 270k reviews atm 4.4 Amazon rating
Nice list... however I have to say that I'm surprised there's no Earfun products, as I'm a big fan and think they have some really solid products for budget prices. The Free Pro 3 stay in my rotation. But great work like always man 💯💪
The Soundpeats Air 4 Pros are tuned just like the Engine 4 the sound quality is pretty close between the two. Engine 4 is better but it's not that big of a difference. Thanks Gamesky i enjoyed this episode. 💯👍🇺🇸
what would you recommend between sony wfc700n and soundcore liberty 4 nc?
Yes
@@EpineCAI agree
Had the wfc700 for a year. Really trash, dont buy it
Please consider including the Cambridge Audio M100 for comparison in future as they beat hands down in practically all categories especially sound quality than other makes even some of those twice the price.
Are those beats fit pro still worth buying today? Or can I get something better for the price?
@@diegobear9180 you can always find something better when it's at it's full retail price but it is still a great pair of earbuds
@@OfficialGamesky I have the soundcore liberty 3 pro but they fall off my ears, what you recommend for 150-200$ earbuds
Or should I just try the fit bro for myself?
@@OfficialGamesky also I made my decision I think I want the AirPods Pro 2 currently at 170$ at Walmart or should I get the fit pro?
I prefer great bass and great sound quality over any features
@@diegobear9180 then I would choose the Beats Fit Pro
@@OfficialGamesky thank you very much for responding
hey thank you so much for great review but i wonder what earbuds i need to buy for construction work which is still affoardable thanks in advance
Review the Tagry x08, & compare with those you think are best. Thanks! Many people say these are great. 👍🏼
I gave you a chance but you missed it big time
Dude! I hadn’t see you on my page in a minute and I was worried.. hope all is well! Still staying tuned for more after all these years:)
Man, it's been a long time! Hope you're doing good
No Samsung Buds FE ?
if price doesn't matter, liberty 4 or liberty 4 nc?
Where are the Technics AZ80?
Or Jabra elite 8 or 10😊
I think there should also be a durability test. There are people reporting that some of these have issues in a few weeks of use, so even if cheap if quality is not there, then it is useless. Unless because of Corp greed like planned obsolescence like with Sony with their xm4 fiasco.
Great!!!!!!! review!! Engine 4. I picked this up from your review and thank you!! Love them!!
I got mines today and I already hate it
The thing is too slippery.
Like how do u even get the buds out of the case.
if soundpeats air 4 pro cost the same money as soundcore liberty 4 NC, which will you buy? and why?
Soundpeats has better audio and better transparency mode, Soundcore has better ANC, battery and case. To me it comes down to the fact that I think the soundpeats look like bootleg iems to me for some reason so I would taka the 4NC
@@Jooj_Marillo bold statement, but thanks for your input bro
@@kamenxxx9037 My update is that my SC 4NC has came with a dead battery in the left bud (it was working out of the box but died in about a day), tho it looks like it was just bad luck, there's not many complains online about QC issues, other than that it has a chunky case, a nice app and fits my ears better than my Galaxy Buds 2, tho its waaaaay less confortable to sleep with them (due to the stems). Compared to my Truthear Hexas IEMs everything feels compressed and bloated because of bluetooth bit crunch (wich I think is the reason that the SP 4pro sounds clearer, it has better codexes) but still sounds good enough that I dont feel like I NEED to reach for the Hexa's to actually appreciate something.
Overall I'm satisfied (except for the fact it died) but if you dont mind a worse app, less battery life and no wireless charging (and the looks, cause they do look a bit cheap), I would save the 25 bucks and go for the SP 4pro
Thanks for confirming the Soundpeats Engine 4, I have them they sound awesome and if you just need to listen to music there are the best the deal out there in my opinion. Pick them up for under $50
My engine 4's right one is dead after 1 year. :( didnt even drop it or didnt even use mostly right one. Always used left one because of my work. or used both. sad :(
Based on this list, which has the best bass? Or can anyone recommend some.
Beats fit pro have good amount of bass
Buy the Oneplus buds 3
I like the tracking feature on AirPods, it literally saved me. I lost them on this huge campus and miraculously found them due to the tracking precision
Nice video! I believe the Galaxy Buds FE are a much better value than the buds 2! Better ANC than even the buds 2 pros!
Can you do one for secure fit for working out?
What are the names of letter A...i can barely see them...and i dont know them
lost my beats fit pro today, fucking love those headphones. Came to see what's out there for a new order.
Great video. I regret abit for buying sony linkbuds S earbuds. But lately my left side earbuds drains much much faster than the right side earbuds. Any ideas why it happened like that?
It's a super common problem. Try cleaning them thoroughly (there's some videos on youtube showing how). However, even that doesn't always work in which case you either send them to warranty or discard them. As far as build quality goes, they're some cheap piece of shit chinese garbage with a sony logo on it.
Where would you put the Tozo earbuds, on your chart?
Have no idea about which product is, put the name of the product please.
Soundpeats clear or r50i nc which will you recommend more?
I'd pay twice as much for Soundcore over Soundpeats. Luckily you dont have to!
But Soundpeats is inconsistent at best. One of a few china brands who came out with some “shockingly good for the price" buds a couple years ago that gained them some fan base… and then they proceeded to pump out cheap trash with fake Amazon reviews on a cycle so fast people don’t have time to call them out for it before another one comes out. True story, avoid Soundpeats
bought the engine 4 few weeks ago, and it really blows my mind! definitely very worth it!
More like this! Excellent!
Absolutely perfect foo A tier list, cant say about S tier but you are thhe only one who do not go gagga about sonny wf 1000x mm5 as lots of people
rate them as best.
If possible please do a combine review of cmf buds, cmf buds pro and cmf neckbend pro by nothing as for the price they might surprise you.
Hi. Engine 4 or Air 4 pro from soundpeats?
I don't know a lot about the engine 4 but air pro 4 would be almost perfect if it's just had slightly more battery life unfortunately it's not the best when it comes to battery life
Is there any perceptible sound difference between de bose qc ultra and the bose qc II (besides their implementation of spatial audio)?
Huge difference. The Ultra has better bass, brighter treble and the mid range is more pronounced. In my opinion it's way better
Which would be better for Samsung phone galaxy buds 2 pro or sony link buds s
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Thoughts on the Nothing earbuds?
Which is the best half in ear earbuds?
Actually the best feature of the AirPods Pro is the seamless connection across all devices, and as someone who owned an iPhone, iPad, Mac and an Apple TV for me its S tier for usability
Yeah I agree even if you only have an apple phone the connectivity is clutch
JLab ANC3 is good?
What tier would you put the new Nothing Ear?
I have 2 pairs of the NC's. Pure epic value. Especially now, a year later.
Well, i got engine 4 literally 1 years ago but alhtough i use mostly left one, the right one has problem now, desibel? decreased like %50. now i cant use both together unfortunatly. btw sound quality is amazing for real.
You forgot JABRA, and you forgot to talk about the mic of every bud
Nothing quite like procrastinating my earbuds research and then seeing a brand new tier list as a reward. 😂
Have you picked a earbud yet Im doing the same thing as you 😂
No one ever mentions the Soundpeats Air 5, why?
I enjoy the video, thanks. I don’t agree with a lot of your rankings. I have tried a lot of earbuds and we all have different functions that we would like in them. Apple, I love the Sennheiser earbuds, but the case is just too big for daily use. That that being said, I usually don’t pay full price for things and I’m sure that changes the value scale.
why is OnePlus Buds 3 not included here? have you tried it?
Definitely not a rating based on much experience with these. I was with you up until the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. I have them AND the AirPods Pro 2, and there’s no world where they’re above the AirPods. Although they have good sound quality, AirPods sound quality is better. The Buds also have not-so-good ambient/transparency mode, whereas the AirPods kill it there. Last, noise cancellation is “okay” on the Buds, but is great on the AirPods.
Finally someone who doesn't do apple everything, but soundpeats is a good alternative when you're strapped for $$ 👍👍👍
Why didn't put edifier pro 2 buds in your line up?
hello which one have mic?
Hmmm wheres raycon and skullcandy & JBL & JLab skullcandy earbuds are very good
Nothing against raycon but aren't they towards the bottom? I got skullcandy dime 3 today cause my beats studio buds went through a 90min wash cycle ugh.and I'm too cheap to buy $150-$200 for earbuds right now.
What you think about Soundpeats bro?
Been watching the channel for quite some time, but its been a couple years since i popped in for a video. Gotta say, loving the grey in that beard, lookin sharp. Matches mine to a T. Perks of gaining more experience in the world, am I right? Glad to see you're still at it, hope to see more soon! 😅
Btw, still rocking my Lypertek Tevis from years ago, best purchase I ever made for buds, all cuz of your vids. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for showing us all the earbuds with great value👍🏻
Some buds have amazing build quality and sounds but have slow reaction to incoming calls.
Linkbuds S better than AirPods Pro? That’s crazy and i have them both…
the soundpeats are really cheap , but no anc for this reason, even for 30 bucks, i could not consider buying them . If i want tws without anc, i would rather buy an ear clip that really allows me to be aware of my surroundings and don't force me to wear an eartip inside my ear
Spatial audio with head tracking is nota gimmick. Actually why I want to buy the airpods pro 2.
I think it is a big mistake to miss out the Technics EAH-AZ80E.
Does it support anc with Dolby Atmos with dual connection if you know please tell i need buy
So question... Tozo golden x1 or Epic Jlab elite lab Edition???
Bro you need to make markers on your video that separate and give a description of the different earbuds
The key things I look for are comfort #1, App controls #2, and sound quality #3.
I feel like you only prioritize value and sound quality is mentioned. And sometimes the app.
I like your video but I don't like your rating structure.
Can I know which tier liberty 4 is?
