Wireless earbuds, in need of advice.

Dear forum members. I have always been a senheiser man, either with cans or in ears. Of late I have found a want for buds. And since this is still fairly new territory, I was wondering if there are those of you who have bought, tried or are using one that you would recommend. Personally, bragi, the headphone has caught my fancy. Difficult to find a proper assessment of these and I trust the forum members here would offer a better review of these buds. Thank you in advance.

Cheers
Patrick

Hi Patrick, I've had these for about a year and have been very satisfied.

I had a pair of Earin, they will no longer charge. Also pairing was an issue as both need to pair to the device.

The best ones for me are connected together by a wire and pair as one unit instead of L and R.

B&O are my got to and Beats for the gym because the wrap around the ear.

I owned the Bose, they were not wireless but nice. The noise cancelling is a trade off. Nice option but then you get this mini brick you have to put in your pocket.

I moved to AirPods. They are great sound but lack noise cancelling feature which I realized I really like as I travel a ton.

I love my AirPods. But as stated above, I did notice on a plane I have to crank them way up due to background noice, so take that into account. Other than that they are perfect.

I use jay bird x3s. I mostly use them for cycling and the gym. I think they sound pretty good and most of these products only last a year until they stop working or you lose them so it's a good balance of cost/utility.

I have a pair of Mpow Wolverines that work well. They them daily at the gym and they help cancel out some noise that the Airpods seem to suffer from.

Bose now offers wireless on both the noise cancel and standard buds. So far, I am happy with them.
