I didn't see anyone comment on other makers, like Samsung ? This was a limited comparison, I do appreciate that comments were made as objective as possible and stated where subjective impressions would come in to play.
Had xm4 and now using airpods pro. Man these airpods pro are so comfortable. U don’t need to push in deep inside ears to get anc, unlike the xm4
I have used AirPod Pros and it isn’t a pleasant experience, first crackling noises in one earbud then both just after six months of use. I took it to Apple and they replaced it but the replacement was not new, I have been receiving notifications on my iPhone saying AirPods are mismatched and the owner(someone else) can see my location… despite several calls to Apple support, they couldn’t do anything.
Then again these replaced AirPods started crackling noises, took it to the Apple Store they won’t replace it saying we replaced it once and we were done. Even though Apple says it has 3 years for a replacement for these crackling noises problems…what’s the use if they give us defective ones with replacement? It’s total garbage value-wise…
I used Bose for several years… I must say their quality and service were excellent compared to Apple.
Awesome review! I'm a little more inclined toward the Sonys between the features and price.
Thanks!
All Earbuds reviews should test earbuds in crowded areas for interference test (on android and iPhone)! All reviews I watched on the $300 Sony pairs didn't take about this big important point! The Sony Earbud is completely useless in such environments (like the gym at 5pm) and sound will be cutting out every single minute. Tried replacing them twice and the issue is still there. Firmware update and all online resolutions didn't help either! Back to using the old jabra and airpods at the gym until I see reviews on the oneplus buds 3!
Can't go wrong with Sony Buds
AirPods baby fr
you should mention the noise crackling sound on the left earbud on the bose
The Bose are still horribly unreliable. So many glitches, so I’d pick the AirPods Pro. But, the Beats Studio Buds + are only slightly behind if you want to save money.
This comparison should have waited for the Sennheiser momentum 4 true wireless which releases on 14th February. I own the Sony WF-1000-XM5 and Jabra elite 10s and I would not swap them for the Airpods ever. Maybe I’ll try the Bose someday but after the Sennhesers
I'm still using my awesome Sennhieser wired ear buds. At $100 CAD they sound better than Shure $400 USD monitor headphones. No wireless crap for me.
Couldn't clean the ear tip before putting it on camera? Points for realism I guess…
Wait are they triplets? 😂
Why u test only aac on iphone?
Not sure what happened but I've seen a million call quality videos and this one was terrible.
Bose is best for travel, great at cancelling out plane engine noise, not so much for Airpods. Never been a fan of the Sony buds because of the foam tips, aside from the fatigue, you can even see in the vid how dirty it can get 1:00
I have had 3 Sony headphones in my life and they give fewer headaches compared to other brands I have used.
Sony is the Best Audio Tech Developer!!! 😒😎👍🏻
Very insightful! I will opt for the Bose for my business. Thanks
Hot take – Sonys linkbuds S > Airpods Pro Gen 2
