Ultimate Premium Earbuds Ranked 

You make some very Thorough great videos. Question. Where can I buy the Factory tips in Black of the Technics AZ-80 .? I have my Sony WF-1000XM5 and I love them. THANK YOU.!!

i just bought galaxy book pro 4, and currently using s23 ultra. i am not really into tech but my galaxy bud (1st gen) keeps disconnecting from my galaxy book pro. I main use it for youtube or music. would you recommend az80 or the sony xm5

Denon PerL Pro, anygood? Did not make your cut?

I had the xm5 but left ear bud kept falling out. Loved everything about it other than that. Returned and bought AZ80. They fit great sound good but just not as loud. I mostly play golf in them and use at work sometimes. Not sure if I should just order tips and get sony back

If you can, make one review video for the Beoplay Ex

Denon and Gemini II for sure should be there - probably the best sounding earbuds I’ve ever tried. A bit more expensive that those in this list, but they match the ‘premium’ title in the video :)

Good content. I personally believe the best is the Devielet Gemini 2. Had them for a bit but couldn’t justify the 450 price tag

lol, I did the exact same thing but with xm4 and az60 tips, changing them back when they first came out in 2021 really did make the xm4s a lot better. Unfortunately my xm4s later suffer from battery issues for the right ear bud that only last like 1 hour now.

No Devialet Gemini ii ?

I’ve got the Sennheiser M3, have had them for about a year and a couple months. They have yet to fail me or die. Both buds are still in great, working condition. I haven’t had any connectivity or sound issues with them (yet). I also have the Sony WXM4s, which I had to exchange for a new set when the right side started to die on me way sooner than it was supposed to. And this was like 6 months into of me having them. Best Buy exchanged them and gave me a brand new set. I’ve had the new ones for about a year now and haven’t had any issues whatsoever -EXCEPT!!!! The fit. I really DESPISE those memory foam ear tips they come with. Omg. Those things leave my ears super sore after about 30 minutes EVERY TIME. Hate, hate, HATE THEM! I use the silicone ear tips from my Beats Fit Pros (another set of earbuds that I own, which have a GOD TIER fit, but aren’t the best sounding out there. They’re loud, just not loud enough for me, especially when compared to my other, more elite buds) and they fit way better like that. The SM3 sound better than the Sony XM4 imo, but the fit isn’t the best in the world tbh. They fit better than the XM4s, but the SM3 with the wing tips require constant readjusting bc they start slipping out or moving to the side which is annoying at times. They’re comfortable, don’t get me wrong. They don’t leave my ears sore af like the XM4s, but they’re tolerable, and I tolerate them even with the fitting issues because of that sound quality. The SM3 are God tier when it comes to how great they sound. Loud, bass heavy, treble is on point-they just sound amazing. And it looks like they didn’t change a thing with the SM4s when it comes to the physical structure, so I’m sure they have the same fitting issue with the wings making them slip out of place after a while. If they made them fit like the Beats Fit Pros, they’d be untouchable among all the earbuds on the market. I ordered the Momentum Sport so let’s see how they fit me. I really hope the wings do them justice for me bcuz I know you said the wing tips did nothing for you. All of our ears are shaped differently so I’m hoping I have better luck with them than you when it comes to the fit. 🤞 Thanks for the quick review. I subscribed to your channel!

I’ve got the Momentum 3 and I have absolutely no problems at all with them. And they sound great. Wider frequency spectrum than the Technics. But hey, that’s just my opinion and ears.

Hi bro, why do u never talk about about Bang&Olufsen tws as Beoplay Ex?. They sound so great.

Worth checking out are the Final Audio ZE8000, which has a beautiful soundstage and excellent instrument separation. The bass is certainly there but the impact is nothing crazy it’s just crisp. And then the Aviot TE-Z1X-PNK is certainly a mouthful but falls into the premium category for sure, with an awesome all around sound, great bass and vocal clarity.

U nailed it man.

Love the Senn 4. Great work on this vid. I may give the Technics a shot but the Toto’s must come first. Thx

When it comes to sound quality how do the Status Between 3anc compare to the earbuds in this video?

Nice job man and thanks for your effort. I have ordered Technics AZ80, looking forward for that, but what about Devialet Gemini II? It seems they have very good sound quality and ANC, also comes in a good casing.

New Sanwear earbuds look incredible and sound very promising, would love to hear your thoughts on them

i am on apple ecosystem, would you suggest airpod pro 2 or AZ-80?

Which would you recommend purely for sound? Opera 05, Tozo Golden X1 or AZ80 ?

You may consider adding some of the upper tier JBLs to your list.

Which are the tips that you bought for the WF-1000XM5s? I like the earbuds, but they fall off my ear frequently. Plus the foam gets really dirty, which I really dislike and makes me not want to use them.

Can you please tell me which of these two truly wireless earbuds have the best sound quality? 1)devialet Gemini II And 2)Denon Perl Pro True Wireless Earbuds?

Bose QC Ultra is ultra comfortable with gr8 sound !

If nothing else I think QC from ALL these manufacturers is trash. I have the Bose, Sony, Technics, Airpods, Sennheisers, and Nothings and the only ones that do not glitch or drop connectivity are the Bose, Airpods, and Nothings which is different than Fredo's findings. I don't think he is wrong, I just think this means companies do not give af and put out inconsistent trash to the consumer. I do end up using the Bose the most because they have the best ANC and are comfortable for me (but only for 2 hours max). In any case good overview and video my guy. Any chance you will review IEMs?

Had the Sennheiser Mmentum ones - They were amazing. Upgraded to the Sennheiser Momentum 3's. Also amazing sound and features until the left earbuds stopped working after 6 months. Then bought both the Sony XM5s and the Bose QC Ultras. Both amazing earbuds - Sony has great sound, lots of features, and good noise canceling. The Bose have the best, amazing sound with its Immersion feature and the best noise canceling (it's scary good). But know sometimes the Bose has connectivity issues to either the app or your phone (ridiculous for an expensive earbud). But such wonderful sound, fit, and noise canceling. Sennheisers were my all time favorite sounding earbuds, but quality issues.

Out of the top 6, which do you reach for the most as a daily driver?

You missed the Denon Perl Pro and B&O Beoplay EX

I got the jabra 10 instead of the technics. I regret it slightly every day. I thought the technics would be too heavy for workouts like pylometrics and running

Clear real time advice, thank you.

Love the az80’s! For me, it’s the az80’s, jabras, and the Bose.

Not bad and finally you’ve tried Between 3ANC! In fact that’s where you failed to be accurate in your ranking. 3ANC are top 3/5 if you really are objective and honest (word you’re using..). So take more time with them and come back.

I just wish Apple let you customise the ANC level for the Airpod pros 2

Where did Denon Perl Pro go?

You missed one thing: when outside, you need to turn the wind-block option on Sennheisers and then they are godly for outdoor activities. I cycled over 100k with most of these buds, swapping them every several minutes, and Sennheisers were the most silent ones with that option on. Sonies used to have that option for XM3s and XM4s, but in XM5s it's gone and on top of that their sound quality is nowhere close to the AZ80s or Sennheisers (at least not for me, and I tested them with various ear tips and spent a lot of time in EQ). Interestingly, Technics also have the wind-block mode, but it turns on automatically when microphones detect wind, so they are a good outdoors choice too, it's just that sometimes it turns back off again for several seconds

Great job dude...this stuff takes time and effort. Regardless if I agree or not ...respect is due to you dude

where is the Noble Fokus Prestige while we talking about premium segment..

It would be very useful to have a secure fit rating for running and weightlifting. My use case scenario is running outdoors, weightlifting indoors and on an airplane, no other use case scenarios for me. I'm certainly not alone.

Try denon perl pro... One word perfection

I scored the Technic az80s for only $200 seemed like a steal

That’s not all the best though. You didn’t include one of the best ones and arguably best sounding ones, the Beoplay EX 2.

MTW 4 KİNG

Better to stay away from sennheiser mtw3 due to battery issues, i heard very good views about sennheiser mtw4 which my mtw3 has been changed for free and not received yet, at that time i got the technics az80 and the one of the best desing, very comfy, anc awesome, sound clarity as well. By the way i have tried master&dynamics mw08, it was awfull, noise leaking and easly hearable from outside, anc is awful like there is no anc at all, also had the buzzing sound issue, just stay away from luxury brand. Sony looks solid, cant complain about it, well sony, sennheiser and technics are the only options for those has budget more than 150 usd

Where you been

Jabra 10 is selling for 150 euros in Amazon.

Apple user here and while I think the user experience of the APP is second to none, I would never be able to pick them over the AZ80s. The sound quality of the APP is just inferior in every way and it's completely unacceptable to not have custom EQ at their price point. I will say that the ANC on the APP is top tier though.

Sony vs az80, which has stronger ANC?

Forgot to mention, love the reviews on this channel. He's the best.

Sennheiser TWS4 and Master Dynamic MW09 both have a major problem with their multipoint connectivity that no reviewers talk about. They will pair multipoint and your music will work, but their app only will pair on the first device you pair with. You can’t access the app on your two paired devices - for some reason the second device’s app will not find the earbuds even though the device is paired up. Very frustrating. Weirdly all the cheap brands like Anker get this right. And of course Apple is flawless on pairing.

Master and Dynamic earbuds are better than all of those

Best reviewer ever🎉🎉🎉

Brother, you are testing earbuds ... with an iPhone. Lol. iPhone doesnt even support AptX or LDAC, which are the best codecs. This is what separates the MTW4 from the Jabras for example in sound quality. The Jabras only have AAC, while the MTW4 have AptX lossless. Night and day. How can you review earbuds and never talk about codecs is beyond me...

Imagine being an apple user 🤣☠️ The Bose are trash because they have ridiculous connectivity issues constantly and glitch out all the time. Tw4s sound amazing with the personalized sound profile but sacrifice a full powerful sound for intricate detail I don't care about. Jabras are just so epic.. so comfortable with powerful full sound and great ANC. I'm a bodybuilder and I sprint in them without issue but everyone is different. They're also often on sale for $200 while outperforming the $300 buds in every category except transparency mode. Az80s are good but they're huge. I just prefer the comfort and fit and button control on the Jabras. I hate the xm5s, overrated like Bose. I'd say jabra-tw4s-az80. Solid review/overview

Bose noise cancelling is awful. Loud hiss and technical noise in the left bud is not compensated by the large amount they can cancel the other noise.
