My face when $150 is considered the value winner and I'm imagining the rest being significantly more expensive: 😫

After owning the BC QC Ultra, as well as the Pixel Buds Pro, I found their call microphone quality to be awful. Which in your testing was the best for calls?

[rabbit-]

My man tearing up the comments and standing by your decisions. Good on you for not feeling pressured to agree with the masses. Appreciate the effort you put in especially with the earbud mic thingy. Hard to argue when we can hear the sound of the buds for ourselves on your other videos. Subscribed and seriously considering the nothing earbuds. 🎉

Great review ! Just want to know what the wireless charging dock you have when you was showing the ear pods pro 2

[Energine]

I am often in loud environments (literal jet engines) working in teams where communication is crucial and have had very surprising success using my Sony WH1000-MX4s "focus on voice" and full transparency modes as active hearing protection. Loud bangs etc get muted down automagically to protect my hearing and loud jet wines get greatly reduced... Full earplugs are quite dangerous do to the lack of awareness and communication here
has anyone tested these buds for intelligent hearing protection/voice isolation? It sounds a bit whacky but its a gamechanger for us doers and builders! The three categories most interesting for us would be
1) Impulse reduction (gunshots, explotions, door slams etc.)
2) Ability to reduce high SPL (riding a lawnmower)
3) Ability to focus on voices in those environments (talking over the lawnmower)
Any suggestions are welcome

Thank you for this excellent video. What would be the best earbud that will reduce active noise levels but let you hear voices? I would also like the microphone to mute out all sounds but my voice on calls. Does this exist or do you have a recommendation?

[adsupa]

Hi there, have you tested the Technics AZ80 ? I think it deserves to be interested in, regards

[shawnwware]

Love your work! Ended up with the WF-1000XM5's a couple weeks back and getting the membership for custom eq made all the difference!

[bozardo]

This is GREAT!!! Thank you so much for the review, I didn't realize that JBL Quantum had their own gaming TWS earbuds and I just found out that they can connect to the Switch or PS5. This is GAME CHANGING!!!

[shanegi]

Great review. How are the Soundcore AeroFit Pro for workouts? Thinking cycling and boxing?? Cheers

[sauverse]

Hi there! Can you please suggest a one for PC use for work, Teams meetings, video calls, less lag in video etc. I use iphone and airpods pro. Airpod pro sounds good on PC but switching between PC and phone is not great. I need a separate earbuds for PC, where I can also see the battery of the case and buds. Any suggestions pls? I was considering galaxy buds pro 2, but it seems the Teams meeting etc doesnt work good when connected to PC, while it works great on phone.

[sawiix]

Which earbuds are the most comfortable to wear ? Because I have the XM4 and they are a pain to wear for more than an hour or so

[experiencelifelittleone]

what is your opinion for B&O beoplay ex earbuds compared to airpods pro 2? I already got the airpods pro 2

[matthewr.]

What I.E.M would you suggest. Current are TFZ No. 3ti. Looking for bass heavy

[Fungusmynutsj]

Great video! Where can i get your custom EQ for the Sony WF-XM5?

[Kuryuto]

hey brandon, really love your vid.I want to ask something.is sony wf-1000xm5 best earbud for samsung s23 ultra than galaxy buds 2 pro?

[dgmessenger]

Thanks for the review! What about call quality as a category? In this day is virtual offices, this is a #1 concern.

[ankitbisaria]

Great review how ever you missed one category which i was looking for in this video i.e microphone quality. may i know your top 3 ?.

[ariadnarivas]

Here I am! Thank you for making this incredibly helpful video! I see that the best option for me regarding the ANC feature are the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra or the Sony XM5. What I'm wondering though is that if you're going to make a comparison between both of them. That would be more than great!
I love the way that this video gives you a good range of sections of interest. You're the best!
