      They are pretty shoddy quality. There’s a few genuine reviews on YouTube.

      I’ve never heard of “Earphone” but to avoid earbuds falling out, you should try Headphones.

    Amazing sound

    I will never buy the BOSE QC earbuds again based on the annoying connectivity issues. Great fit, sound, and noise cancellation tho.

    Can’t take this seriously if you dont have the 2023 Jabra on the list. Come on CNET I expect more from you.

    Bose Ultras or the Apple are great choices. There is something to be said for service after the sale and Sony is horrible at best. Their name used to be mean something but their customer service is terrible at best.

    The AirPods have to be replaced because it becomes static after 6 months

    No Sennheiser? That is bold.

    I recently picked up Soundcore Liberty 4nc and they are actually really good. They replaced the Xm4’s which is heartbreakingly left on a train. The Sony were better musically and the experience more refined.

    • @andrewhennig1648

      December 7, 2023 at 4:30 pm

      Maybe when the Sennheiser MTW4 come out… The 3s are from last year, and outclassed by Bose for noise cancelling, Sony and Technics for sound, the others for price, and several across categories for features – not to mention the infamous connectivity issues that seem to plague the MTW3.

    I am saving up for the Sony’s but my Buds 2 pro are still doing really well after more than a year so IG I’ll probably wait for a potential launch of the Buds 3 Pro?

  26. @jorgesolis5055

    December 8, 2023 at 3:29 am

    Nothing Ear (2) should get an honorable mention. At $150 ($109 on Black Friday) the sound is great, tons of control customization, transparency feature and 4 settings of noise cancellation.
