So I know I am closing up the thread a lot lately it's just that I have been A/Bing many good earbuds at same time of the more will known models.
It is allowing me to really see the pros and cons of each.
For instance one real pro for me if the Jabras are the controls.
Some people prefer touch controls to buttons but if you live in colder climates and wear a hat or gloves good luck.
I went snow shoeing today with thick gloves and a tuque and could still click the controls without telling anything. Impossible with any touch control earbuds. And the buttons are responsive enough that they don't hurt you ears pushing them. You also can control every aspect from ANC/Ambient to track control volume control and vice assistant.
Only the Technics a slow that as well as the 1 more and the Samsung's.
I know this is Head-Fi and sound quality is king but I am assuming most of you own better quality ear it had phones then tws.
So while sound quality is important, if the buds are uncomfortable or fall out or lack water resistance for exercise or don't get loud enough or provide ambient sound then they may not be your best choice even if the sound overall is better.
This is why I am disappoints with the Sony. They fail on controls for me. They lack ip rating. They require an investment in multiple ear tips in trial and error to get a good seal. Even then they seem to want to fall out. They have a bulky case with no QI charging.
This is why Samsung and Jabra are very good options for most. They have great controls great fit small cases can be used for exercise (and even swim with Jabra active model).
L2P lack the ambient sound/ANC and full controls to be my perfect bud.
Jabra active 75t lack Qi charging in most versions and sound while very good is not the best in this category.
Technics lack Qi charging are a bit large and while sound great miss some thump at the low end or they would be a favorite.
1more has everything. Qi great case comfortable fit enjoyable sound but need tuning and a bit more volume. Maybe wavelet?
85t and upcoming galaxy buds pro intrigue me as they eachight give a detailed sound with great base and full controls with ambient sound ANC and QI charging.
Purposely didn't discuss APP because if you don't use iPhone then they are severely limited.
MTW2 and Bose to me are too expensive for this category knowing that technology and battery lifeeans that unlike a headset these have and effective life of 2 years of heavy use.
