Latest isn’t always going to be the best. I’d look at last year’s best earbuds that are way cheaper now

Where is the Sennheiser momentm 4 TW?

Jlabs jbuds mini! Small enough to carry on a key chain, cheap, and multipoint

for all around daily use, my Soundcore C30i are superior. For anc, my classic Samsung Buds(first gen) still function decently, thought the battery life isn’t what it once was. I also have a $25 off brand from Amazon simply called Q38 that are surprisingly good. I have yet to find anything that I liked as much as the original Samsung IconX, for which I was a beta tester.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and AirPods 4 are by far my favourite
@raizel29
November 20, 2024 at 1:41 pm
Which one has the best ANC?
@herbertnatanael
November 20, 2024 at 3:37 pm
It’s not in the video, but the best ANC for bearded men currently is the Bose quietcomfort ultra
@raizel29

@herbertnatanael I know I wanted to know about this list
@herbertnatanael
November 21, 2024 at 4:50 am
@@raizel29 oh, alright. I just wanted to tell you that my translator, for some reason, put the term ‘bearded man’ which is hilarious. What I meant was that this Bose headset is probably the best.

Cool list for earbuds. Please do one for headphones.

Sennheiser momentum sport was this year’s biggest disappointment

Nothing Ear (2024), Nothing Ear(a) and the Oneplus Buds 3 and Pro 3 were all phenomenal options that came out this year, it’s a shame you didn’t include any of those.

Does the Nothing Ear have good noise-canceling capabilities?

Lols even the sound core liberty 4 pro should be mentioned at least!
@wetlandweasel
November 20, 2024 at 4:39 pm
Meh! All are horrendously overpriced. I personally have the Tozo earbuds. Cheap and pretty good sound quality that you can control via an app on your phone.

November 20, 2024 at 5:01 pm
Disappointing and lazy review, you should have made it a “best earbuds you can buy in 2024”, i do not car when the earbuds were released, i want to know what the best ones i can buy right now.

Does Anyone else has problem with airpod pro 2, latest firmware,
It’s blocking all background sounds in every mode.
I went to Apple Genius Bar to solve the issue,
They said they are no more Genius. Simply they said they don’t have any answer for that specific issue.
@tetzet3254
November 20, 2024 at 6:21 pm
Y’all try OnePlus buds pro 3. Cheap but dang it sounds good
@therealarien
November 20, 2024 at 6:50 pm
I went from the 2020 og pixel buds to the Pixel Buds pro 2 and the leap was vast! Never had ANC before, which is just as handy for the passthrough so I don’t always have to take them out. Love them. And the mint green is cool.
@beaconing7689
November 20, 2024 at 10:14 pm
Earfun got in the list but not Soundcore ? LoL

for me cmf bud are the best
@noscrubbubblez6515
November 21, 2024 at 5:16 am
I never found any open ear buds that deliver. I wasted $130- on Soundcore boom 2. A big clue is when they say waterproof- it can’t function as a speaker. $180- for Bose in ear buds were best, but all you really need is CMF buds pro wireless 2. No mess, no fuss. Plus (at $59) you can buy 2 sets – one for back up. If you lose both sets, you will really hurt.

Don’t buy Samsung Earbuds Pro 3, they cost 200 €, i lost the charging case ( i still have the earbuds ), i wanted to replace them and buy another case.
To my surprise they don’t sell it, i went to their customer service and they told me that they had no solution, i have to buy a BRAND new pair of earbuds to get another charging case, but hey they offred me 10% discount.
Btw they sound okay, but the Air pods pro sound much better, and the quality build look cheap af.
@in161
November 21, 2024 at 8:41 am
Samsung is not to blame if you lose your case, but you just had to write that AirPods are the best instead of saying nonsense😂
@icentuche90
November 21, 2024 at 8:42 am
How you put regular Airpods 4 as number one over Buds 3 Pro and the PI8? Ehn iSheep lol

Not including any BOSE products in this list is criminal
