yeah sure not having a wire is nice, but two generations of earbuds from my phones own manufacturer and both pairs i get regularly dogshit audio quality, and half the time one of the buds doesn't even work or produces barely any audio. There is no way to remedy this even after resetting the buds and the bluetooth connection. and you have to shell out 3x as much money for these things. also it's yet another device whose charge you have to keep track of

I got a really nice pair when I got a motorcycle because I didn't want to deal with the wires. It's the best pair of earphones I've ever used. They cancel out all the loud wind and engine noise of the bike, have incredible sound quality, and surprisingly the Bluetooth maintains a steady connection.

These things have me in the top 1% of Spotify listeners worldwide for the past 3 years lol

What model do you have?

[–] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

I am not the motorcycle (they?). But I really love my Sennheiser momentum 4 over ears. They have fantastic sound quality and solid noise cancelling. I think the Sony wh-1000mxs still win the noise cancelling battle though.

Also to the mod who deleted my comment. I am not the motorcycle man was me gendering. MYSELF.

I'm sure you've thought about this more than I have but are you sure those ANC earbuds are providing good hearing protection? they may not be rated for that, tho certainly better than nothing
