    Hot take – Sonys linkbuds S > Airpods Pro Gen 2

    Very insightful! I will opt for the Bose for my business. Thanks

    Sony is the Best Audio Tech Developer!!! ????????????????

    I have had 3 Sony headphones in my life and they give fewer headaches compared to other brands I have used.

      Comfiest headphones ????????????????

    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

    Not sure what happened but I’ve seen a million call quality videos and this one was terrible.

      Reception also plays a factor

    Couldn’t clean the ear tip before putting it on camera? Points for realism I guess…

    • @jideakin

      February 1, 2024 at 12:48 pm

      Have you tried cleaning those foam tips?! Damn near impossible!

    • @1988remixx

      February 1, 2024 at 2:03 pm

      I was going to say the same thing or at least put in a spare set which they all come with multiple tips!

    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.

  12. @nd0nd042

    February 1, 2024 at 1:06 pm

    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

    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.

    February 1, 2024 at 1:53 pm

    you should mention the noise crackling sound on the left earbud on the bose

    Can’t go wrong with Sony Buds

  17. @AliHamodi

    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!

    Awesome review! I’m a little more inclined toward the Sonys between the features and price.
    Thanks!
