@RM360CR 2 месяца назад

but the ipod and samsung are in ear even though they are open at the same time so is not going to sound the same as like the bose and shoks which are truelly open earphones. and when you speak about audio quality you need to show the frequency range graph which tells you everything about the type of treble and bass they reproduce because audio is also subjective to each person.

Galaxy live buds are better than the grades you was grading them even during tests you did. Exp the outside voice test the beans was at least 2nd or 3rd. IMO. I have the beans with a iPhone 14 and got rid of my AirPod 2 for the beans.

Yeah they look a cool design. I am kinda stuck with apple though because I have their phone/ipad pro etc so made choice couple of hours ago to purchase gen 3 Airpods . My son loves his gen 3 AirPods so hopefully I have similar if smaller ear and I will feel the same about them. I am only going to use them for light use during lunch hour etc although saying that if I love them maybe I will upgrade to Bose or AirPods Pro 2. But Bose nailed it with a brilliant unique design that seems to pass a lot of the tests and probably feels super comfortable for majority of people. 😊

You're one of the only youtubers that I've seen that wears the Bose earbuds correctly or at least as they instruct you to wear them in the manual. The call quality sounded a lot better than I've heard on other videos. I have the Bose, Shokz , Sony Link buds and the Galaxy Buds live and all of the mics sounded nice in quiet and busy conditions in your video. I think out of all of those the Galaxy Buds live sound the best, but I know everyones ears are different, because they do have a good amount of bass. I enjoyed your review.

You've got me very interested in the Bose buds. I've used the Galaxy buds for a couple years now. I can start a run with them in a comfortable position, but inevitably they end up settling into a position where they press on one part of my ear or another and get quite painful. Glad there are so many more options now.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the mifo gen 2 touch. I've found they're low profile, love that the case charges the ear buds and doubles as a phone charger if needed. Sound quality seems good for both the user and for the people on the other end of a phone call. The longevity may be the only weak point for me, as over time the Bluetooth acts finicky and sound quality on phone calls degrade. But again, would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

@toc1124 Месяц назад

Used to switch buds everytime. Until I came across the buds live 4 years ago. They are perfect for comfort. Right now, it's the Bose NC 700 headphones for music and buds live for everything else for me.

@chat-1978 2 месяца назад

Though I like the overall approach and thoroughness, I disagree with the practical grouping of the products. The only products here that are open ear are actually shokz and Bose. All the rest, need to sit in the ear and this is a really different experience. The true open ear are the ones that don't block the ear. It gives them tremendous comfort because they just sit outside your ear and unfortunately they don't block any noise which is the entire point. Bose is an innovation in the category, as it sits in the ear but didn't really block the ear. The marketing of "open air" being no silicone is bs, and tech channels should know about this. With their mindset, we had open ear headphones for ages with those small wired ones which were also uncomfortable. Take it from a person with multiple ear infections, if it touches the ear canal entrance, it's annoying and uncomfortable. Not to everyone but this sensitivity helps make the distinction.

@Randomness662 Месяц назад

I disagree with your sentiment. Typically when you put one of these "tipless" earbuds into your ear, they *should* just rest barely outside of your canal, and only blocking around 5% of external sound. This at least was my experience with Apple's Wired Earpods, which sure, you can shove all the way into your ear, but I let them rest just outside my canal and they don't fall and block out 0 external sound.

@Ike32 2 месяца назад

I have the samsung beans and the samsung buds pro 2. I end up wearing the beans more often because they are more comfortable. The pros are not uncomfortable...but the beans are just more comfortable. I'm glad that companies are making lots of open earbuds for us to choose from

@nicoyabeauty Месяц назад

As someone who looks for open earbuds I thank you for this review. I tried the Sony linkbuds but the ear pain I got from it made me return them. The main reason I need open ear is the ear fatigue and I have sensitive skin and ear sweat causes me to have eczema there sometimes. I was looking into the Bose because the way they sit on the ear, but the mic just sounded so echoey on the video and now I really have to decide if I want to go with them.

One key reason I have for wearing open earbuds is for playing piano with the learning app. Earbuds in my ear connected to the tablet, over-ear headphones connected to the piano, and the piano midi connected to the tablet USB-C.

Great to see the Buds Live have the best mic quality in all environments. The Bose are surprisingly terrible. Edit: Ear fitment is everything. Having both the Airpods 3 and Buds Live, the comfort and sound quality on the Buds Live are much better than the Airpods.

@ramoschau 2 месяца назад

I have both the Bose open earbuds and Sony Linkbuds, and here are some of my thoughts: 👉Design: definitely Bose. Both are very comfortable but Bose earbuds looks cooler. 👉 Audio performance: I think this relying on personal taste but in my humble opinion, I think Sony has done it better than Bose. At first, you will be wowed by Bose “signature” bass but you will soon get tired of it, at least it’s true for me. In Sony case, everything is well calibrated, it feels “just right”, very detailed, with wider sound stage than Bose. 👉 Companion app: another point for Sony. It’s Headphones app has more options than Bose Music, making Sony Linkbuds become very flexible for many music genres. 👉Mic quality: I feel myself have more natural sound with the Sony 👉Battery life: Bose is the winner with no doubt.

@user-bm7ze1vn8f 14 дней назад

I've used a few shokz bone conducting ones over the years and llove them! Only draw back is that i kill them after 8 months. Maybe water issues.... not sure. Anyways one great benefit over these reviewed is that i work in construction and if it's REAL noisy i can put in ear plugs and turn the volume nice and low. I love that option

@aggropimp Месяц назад

I got Shokz Openfit Earbuds...they were unknown to me, but in Saturn in Germany it is possible to test them before purchasing. After 10 months, these are super! Great sound with very nice bass, long battery lasting, amazing noise cancelling, get charged super fast, ergonomic. Perfect! Totally recommendable.

I love the Sony LinkBuds, but they break very fast. I think there are cables breaking in the middle. I bought them 3 times. Every time same problem after 8 month. (But I am using them nearly the whole Day. Maybe they last longer with less heavy use.) I now got the HUAWEI FreeClip. And so far (first week) they are great. Even if a HUAWEI App on my phone dosen‘t feel save. Perhaps you can compare these with the others. Great video!

@stilllookingfortreasure Месяц назад

I have the link buds and the case stopped working after about a year. Technically, it still works but only on the right side. The left side continually drains it so that no matter how much battery you have when you leave the house it's zero by the time you use it.

@jijo666 2 месяца назад

@CJICantLie Месяц назад

The linkbuds, in practice, by my experience, have only about 2.5-3hrs of battery life, standby, after about 20mins of teams calls, in my use at work. They have been having issues charging correctly in their case as well. I recently went through a hard reset cycle on them to see if it helps at all. Even when new, they weren't anywhere near the battery life mentioned here.

@Mir_Teiwaz Месяц назад

The only problem I have with the linkbuds is that, after about a year of owning them, the buds discharge their battery super fast even when they're off. I can charge them (and the case) to full, go out for like 2 hours, put them in their case when I get home, and the buds will be nearly dead by the next day and need to be recharged.

@emarr3720 2 месяца назад

I own the Shokz & I’m looking to replace them bc of the over the ear loop design. Glasses & face masks interfere with them & they fall out easily. I like the design, the quality, & the durability. One of them fell into the washer & went thru the cycle unscathed-detergent & all!! I think they are very light. I’m half expecting to lose one any day now bc the come off when you take your shirt off, bend over, etc. The first day I wore them one came off & I was frantically searching on hands & knees at a restaurant amongst the patrons like Danny Devito in Romancing the Stone, “ I lost my langostino.” It turn out to be in the collar of my shirt!! I’m leaning toward Bose bc they seem to be more secure than the others. Maybe you can add a jogging test to rank how easily they dislodge. Why don’t they make these in a flesh tone so blend in better at work where sometimes management thinks we are being unproductive bc we are having a conversation. I tell them that mine don’t have a microphone but that’s dismissed bc they want it to be a blanket ban. Mono is a plus for me bc I mainly listen to podcasts not music,

Sometimes I would have to fiddle for half an hour putting them back in the case out of the case, connect, disconnect then they would suddenly just connect. Yesterday I finally had it when they kept restarting in my ear, and loosing connection even though the phone said they were connected. So I calmly took them outside, grabbed my sledge hammer, and did what I have wanted to do since I first bought them. Now I get to research for a new pair, again.

They are so comfortable I can't even feel them while I sleep. The sound is great, I loved the noise canceling on my other pair but constantly had ear infections and always in pain. Being able to push a button to play or answer calls is better because you can touch the buds and dont have to worry about accidently touching it and hanging up. The bose are definitely worth the money.

I was kind of expecting you to also compare either Soundcore's Aerofit/Pro, Tozo's Open Earbuds, or both. Regarding the Buds Live, having used them for over a year they do a surprising good job (soundwise) for open earbuds. The fit is the tricky part but it is intuitive, especially if you listen for the chime that lets you know the sensor detects them on your ear. For me the one major downside is that I can feel the pressure on my ear cartilage and I don't wear them longer then a couple of hours at a time.

I have not found earbuds that will stay in my apparently weird shaped ear cancel. So these open style look to be the answer.

For whatever reason, in-ear buds are extremely painful for me. Like I can tolerate it in my right ear for a while, but the left ear is flat out unbearable almost instantly. Some of these look like they would still hurt since they rely on pressing into the opening of your ear to stay in, so I definitely prefer the type that hook over the ear.

You need to get different ear tips on the Samsung live my wife and I went thru a dozen earbuds until she bought these. Every single thing you criticized works great for us. I have to hit her for attention. We can scream at each other and never falls out.

My ear canals violently tenect in eat silicon buds. no matter how clean i keep with, i wear them for a half hour and the next day my canals are irritated and itchy. I love the sound of in ear earbuds, but open ear may be the way to go.

4:32 air pod 3 is not the same “tried and true design” from the classic wired apple in ear headphones, which is different from the AirPods 1 &2 which are truly the exact same
