I bought sennheisers earbuds and they sound good but the noise cancellation is awful and the left bud for some reason doesn't fit my ear so it feels it's coming off all the time. I payed 200$ discounted on Amazon. I also tried sony'a newest earbuds and Bose and airpods. All of them had either issues or were just bad quality like the apple ones. I payed 350$ for the bose earbuds and they had a weird static background sound. It's insane how disgustingly low quality the earbuds market has become. I used to have sony's xm4 and they were great until the battery drain bug was created by sony itself

Just a heads up. If you wear a beenie with the air pods in open mode. It will sound hella static. I didn’t realize until I turned it to noise cancellation. I will say for true wireless. The air pod pros 2nd gen are pretty nice. Nicer than the rest of the pack imo. Tho I shit you not. Beats make a decent pair. They just don’t sit right I. My ear. That’s why I went with the air pod pros. Maybe the only kind of true wireless that fit my stupid ears.

Have you tried a different tip on the left earbud?

[–] jettsd@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Honestly in terms of wireless buds the galaxy buds pro 2 have worked the best for me. Noise cancelling is decent and they sound the best I'd the wireless ones I've tried.

It's a little strange to blame the earbuds not to fit both your ears. I've had the same issue with Galaxy Buds Pro 2, they were fine, but on one side I didn't get a proper fit. But this doesn't apply to this model, this happens with all of them, your ears aren't identical, my left earcanal is not as wide as right one. You could try some tips to equal it out.

I have a confession to make. I am not a fan of the Sennheiser TW3 earbuds.

Otherwise, I am a bit of a Sennheiser fanboy--but just keeping it real. Maybe it's how I use ANC buds. I have the Bose QCII earbuds for extreme portability and ANC. They sound decent--not Sennheiser level--but the ANC is godly on those. If I don't need that level of portability I use the M4 over-ears for travel.

Which ones? TWS3 are great. But if they don't seal well, ANC and overall sound will suck, of course.

They can be a bit finicky to fit properly though. But that depends from ear to ear.

really enjoying my galaxy buds 2 pro. my only complaint is that I wish it had more codecs supported. if you're using a Samsung phone, you're fine. SSC is great. But using it on my laptop means I have to use AAC or SBC, which fucking sucks.

I've had the Audio Technica CKS50TW for almost a year now and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Audio quality on them is decent, battery life is amazing, no connectivity issues, and fit great.

Are those over ear or in ear?
