Sucks that there's no way to try sizes before you buy but I know that's impossible for hyenine reasons 🙁 And how tf do you even know if your ear hole is small, "regular" or large??
Does anyone have an idea about xqisit true wireless earbuds, can you recommend them?
if you play basketball or sports i genuinely recommend, you get the push active skull candy ear buds
they have amazing battery life, nice sound quality and they dont fall out of your ear, amazing earbuds 10/10.
I’ve been big on headphones for years and I had never had wireless earbuds until January of this year (got the WF1000xm3 from Sony). I LOVE THEM. Use them every single day to walk my dog and other activities. Earbuds are just insanely practical, specially Sony, having great sound in your pocket is just awesome
Beats colors are "excellent"

Wireless ear buds ..
You guys never called it ear buds before ear buds came out,
You American used to call it headphones.
What are best earbuds for sound for HipHop and Reggae music 🎶 in particular?
your reviews are very good
Everybody's first pair should be the JLab GoAirPops. They have full controls , decent sound , good battery life and if you lose one, you're only out 20 bucks.
I bought the Bose Quiet Comfort buds last year, and they sounded great and fit well, even though they're a larger bud. Last week I bought the Beats Studio Buds, which surprised me with the great sound quality (almost as good as the Bose) and the mechanical switches. So many buds, so little time….
Does anyone knows if there is a bluetooth earbud with stems, internal storage and replaceable batteries? This whould be the perfect setup for me so that the phones won't fall from my ears, that I don't to take my smart phone with me and that be environmentally friendly.
Ummm where are the Bose?
Lovely Video and you are the real godfather of technology.
Things I consider before buying my earbuds are
1.Comfort
2. Call Quality
3. Decent Sound with balanced- Mids, highs and low..

Better than bone conduction models…
You must be good at DIY. You hit the nail right on the head! 👌
My go to are the Jaybird's. Currently using the Vista 2's and they're great for working out, going for a run/walk, listening to the music, or making calls. They are pricey but you get what you pay for
Love your reviews, if mine could look half as good as yours if be happy
Hi, thanks for the review, I'm wondering if you could share the link to the Sennheiser ear tips you mentioned in the video.
Another big thing I look for when buying a pair of true wireless earbuds is low latency ~ especially when gaming or watching films.
Judging by tests posted around YouTube it does seem like it's possible to achieve under 100ms of latency, but it requires support of newer Bluetooth audio codecs like LC3, LLDC, and AptX Adaptive on both the wireless headphone AND the audio player (phone-tablet-laptop-pc-DAP) to ensure minimal latency. 🎧📲
Hopefully more brands optimize for low latency in their designs by default or as a mode that can be toggled. Definitely good to know when picking a pair budget or premium TWS earbuds. 👍
The crypto market has been favourable in the past weeks, I keep missing out on this opportunity, I'm most certainly very impatient how can I ever make a profit in the crypto market
Good information
You're thinking the fast man to have died in The Avengers. You guys make a new movie with a new hero to the Fast Man, like Spider-Man.

Are there any that won't pump Bluetooth waves 2mm from my brain?
I returned my airpods and got galaxy buds 2 and they sound far better than airpods
Great review. Can we have the link for those replacement ear tips though? thanks!
I’m surprised Bose didn’t make his list
Number 1 is Price 🙁
I’m using the Huawei Freebuds pro and I love them
Obviously trading in Crypto is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most investors trade with a professional broker.,and I am glad I trade with Mich Smith, I've made 1btc trading with him
Very useful information

Biase assessment. You never made mention of the Jabras. They’re among the top 3.
No. Keep your money in your pocket! Cheap earbuds (Approximately fourteen dollars US) from Big Lots Store work almost as well, and have a four hour run time. At this price? Just buy TWO pairs, and everything will be Hunky Dory, you'll have plenty of run time just by swapping them out, with one set always being recharged while you're listening to the set in your ears! You won't feel so bad if you lose them, and paying another two hundred dollars in a few years or so to replace expensive ones is ridiculous. After all, those batteries in those little earbuds in no way should be expensive to replace, if you even could. 73 DE W8LV BILL
I’m surprised my Jabra 65/75T didn’t score so high. I love them. They fit perfectly in my ear and sound great. Not expensive either.

Redmi Buds 3 Pro review
The good
I got the Redmi Buds 3 Pro and for the price (~$50) i have to say they are pretty good and feature packed. Noise canceling, in ear detection, wireless charging, multi point connection and touch control (double tap, triple tap and long press). They sound ok and the noise canceling is works better than expected. I don't hear any kind of buzzing sound after stopping the music, a thing that i noticed happening on some JBL low end Bluetooth headphones. The battery is ok. I don't know if is the stated 6 hours but i don't find myself having "range" anxiety. I've reached 20% on a particularly long Skype call but i popped the bud with the lowest battery back in the case and it charged back to ~50% in a couple of minutes (5-10 minutes).
The somewhat bad
I've had a few issues when switching quickly between sound from the phone and a laptop. One of the buds lost connection and i had to put the buds in the case to re connect and another time i had to hit play/pause on both devices to make it clear what was the active device. But this only happened twice in in two weeks of daily use in an environment full on Bluetooth devices so maybe interference was the culprit.
The weird
There is one sketchy thing about them. they are made to work seamlessly with Xiaomi phones and form what i gather the application is integrated in Mi UI. So there is no official application for them and accordingly to some Reddit sources, no confirmed plan to release one. But i think someone extracted that part from Mi UI and released it as an app without adding any ads.
Overall i'm mildly impressed with their price – performance – features combination. I now only hope i don't break the case while using it as a fidget toy. 🙂
Galaxy buds live my best fit
I bought the Soundcore by Anker Liberty 3 Pros for multipoint (the ability to pair via bluetooth to 2 devices). Absolutely required so I can use them with a tablet and smartphone. I'm also really impressed with LG TONE FREE FP9 – you can just plug the case into an audio jack and the case works like a bluetooth transmitter to the headphones – super slick if you have a lot of devices with audio jacks.
True wireless is pure hazard. I have spent over $ 1000 on different and everyone has failed. Buggy charge and touch with $400 Sennheiser TW and the twin Technics EAH.
Airpods Pro which often only charges one headphone and you are lucky if it is heard from both fully charged and Powerbeats Pro which are tricky to put in their case so they are charged and also you can have the bad luck that you have to plug in and remove a few times for to get sound in both.
In our country, you are not allowed to test and then buy for hygienic reasons. Pure hazard to buy Wireless earbuds.
Interesting the Razer True Wireless V2 didn't make a cameo. CNET and Linus both gave it excellent scores.
Great list! See you at CES 2022?
As a guy who’s owned the jaybirds,air pods pro, Samsung galaxy earbuds the sennheiser momemtum 2 the WF-1000mx4 are all around is the best earbuds above all these things get 8-9 hours of battery life with ANC ON!!!! Whereas the other earbud get 3-4 hours. It’s impressive being I can be at work 8 hours and tune out everybody there for my full 8 hour work days and the sound quality and bass is best overall . These things are life savers . Because I would have been killed those people by now 😀
Ive been super happy with the multipoint bluetooth on my Jabra Elite 65t ‘s since my work computer is not a Mac, i always wondered if this was available on more buds but it was hard to find in specs last time i checked
