Earbud/Earphone Recommendations

[AspenQn]

I need honest thoughts on TWS earbuds to use with my N20U. My husband uses Powerbeat Pros with no problem with his N20U but I don't want buds with the hook.

I know Airpod Pros can be used successfully with 3rd party apps and everyone I know who has a pair loves them. I am not crazy about the look of the Samsung "beans" which match my bronze phone but with so many choices out there it is overwhelming.

I am looking for something to use with the tv in early morning hours, listening to music and for limited phone calls. Don't Zoom often but something with noise cancellation when we travel.

Suggestions appreciated.

I use samsung galaxy buds. They work great for me.

The Samsung buds pro are awesome. They aren't shaped like the beans and the anc works alot better .

I love my buds live because they aren't 'jammed in the ear. I have no problems with them staying in my ears. And they don't hurt me after a while like the ones that go in the ear canal.

I have to agree that the noise cancelation is basically non-existant, so if that is important, I would try the Bods Pro - but I haven't tried them myself...

Been traveling a bit for work last few months... Florida to Texas, Philly, Delaware, Mass... and been using my daughters hand-me-down Beats BT headsets to listen to music and muffle the noise a bit during the flight.

Last flight to Mass just last week, bought myself a pair of Sony WH-1000MX4 headphones and used them on the flights back and forth... I will not fly without a pair of noise cancelling headphone ever again!

I tried a few pairs on at Best Buy now and then and thought noise cancelling headphones do an impressive job... but try a pair in a rumbling 737 airplane and experience it ELIMINATE the sound of the airplane engine.

The Sony's are usually rated the best in noise cancelling and I can definitely recommend. Comfortable too. My daughter's beats you'd notice the pressure after a few hours but the Sony's could have kept going.

So good I bought the Sony earbuds 1000XM3 for when I want a smaller package to keep when on the move locally. Also rated to be one of the best as far as noise cancelling... of course not as good as headphones that cover the ear completely but they felt comfortable when I tried them on and look forward to using them soon.

Galaxy Buds Plus still serve me well.

Samsung Buds Pro? I've got the Buds Plus and Buds Live. Wasn't sure about the Live's at first but they're far more comfortable than the Buds Plus and sound better too. Feel a lot like the Airpods I had before. Buds Pro look really good and have a load of features

Depends on what you are looking for and at what price point.

After using the Samsung Galaxy Buds I then moved to the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and really like how they fit and sound.

I have all the galaxy tws' buds+, live and the pros. The "beans" allows convos easily and the buds+ passively blocks out the outside noise. The pros with anc block out the best. I use them for working out, youtube, calls, and Xbox cloud gaming. Sam's range of wireless earbuds are great. They all work well with a wireless game Controller, N20U, and buds.

I use the beats pro they work great for me and stay in my ear with the ear hook.

I'm using the Buds Live...not perfect sound wise, but the "bean" shape is surprisingly comfortable. Prior to that I had just the regular Samsung Buds, which did have much better audio IMO, but for best results (richer sound with full bass) use comply foam tips instead.

Tribit Flybuds noise canceling is about $44 on Amazon with current coupon discount. This company makes reasonably priced products that give a lot of bang for the buck and don't sacrifice much.

It seems to be about earbuds, but the title also mentions earphones/headphones.

I've been using the Ultrasone Pro 900s on my phone for quite a while. They certainly weren't made for that purpose, but they work great. I had to use a backup when the wire shorted out and I had to get that replaced. I found that Grados also work well.

hi, i bought MPOW X3, like them so much, i bought 2nd pair, sounds better tham my SAMSUNG; and lot less expensive too. Newer models are available

 

[Donglelife872]

I bought a pair of Grado SR 325's as an Ultrasone backup and broke them in on the PC. The headphone cable is by far the heaviest cable I've ever had on a headphone, fair beefier than the 80's. Sure, the cable can be changed out but as is, I think this would make it impractical for use with a phone, especially having to use a dongle. I'm already having problems with a much lighter cable working loose from the dongle.

The 325s slid around a lot when I first got them but although they're still a bit too small for me, I don't have that problem and the stock earpads have become relatively comfortable.

I've currently use Bose QC Earbuds as I really wanted more noise cancellation for when I listen to certain podcasts and music when out and about. I haven't tried the Buds Pro, but I like that the Bose doesn't go all into your ear canal (which is one of the reasons why I liked the buds live). I suspect that if there is a Note 21 - I will get it and use the promotional credit of Buds Pro. LOL

Currently using all of the Samsung TWS earbuds. The pros have amazing audio quality for calls and gaming but with the last update, has caused charging issues. Overall the quality is amazing. However they do differ in how they passively block outside noise. The "beans" allows the most hear thru. The pros offer the best anc.

Currently the Samsung Galaxy Buds. I have a pair of Jabra Elite 65t I haven't really spent much time with. Both were bought at huge discounts. Sales happen all the time if you keep a lookout.
