Jabra Elite Active 65t True Wireless Sport Earbuds (Refurbished) Expired

Most of them have built in assistants I believe but I didn't look at that since it wasn't really a selling point for me.

The new Sony WF-1000xm3 are getting a lot of praise. Has active noise canceling (ANC), great battery life (6 hr with ANC and 8 hr without), very good sound (with option to EQ in app), and both earbuds pair to device independently. The mic seems to be barely usable for calls from reviews I have seen though and it has a pretty hefty price tag. They also don't block noise (noise isolation or passive noise canceling) as well since they have more openings for the ANC.

The Sennheiser True Wireless and the Master & Dynamic MW07 are touted as the best sounding ones. Both have battery issues (Sennheiser drains while in case and both have shorter battery life than competitors). The MW07 only has bluetooth 4.2 also if I remember correctly.

Airpods just work but has no noise isolation or noise canceling.

Powerbeats Pro has the best battery life out there and both can work independently of each other (can use one at a time). Button controls are well organized and reviews seem to agree that it sounds pretty good. I tried it in stores and it is comfortable (the earloops can pretty much bend to any shape you need) and you can wear glasses/sunglasses with them. Only problem for me (besides price) is the excessively large carrying case. Some people carry the earbuds without the case since it has such great battery life but since it is out of case, it is always connected to your phone/device.

Some other earbuds that are getting praise are Klipsch T5, Jabra Elite 65t (Active), Creative Outlier, Jaybird Vista, Bang & Olufsen E8, Bose SoundSport, Samsung Galaxy Buds, and RHA TrueConnect.

I've been in the market for a new one as my current one's battery life is only lasting a few hours now. I probably would have kept the Elite 65T Active if the left and right volume difference wasn't as noticeable to me, especially at the price point. After experiencing bluetooth 5.0, I don't want to bother with any earbuds that doesn't have it. The Sony WF1000XM3 are probably my top pick with Klipsch T5 (that case is gorgeous) being a contender. I don't want to deal with the lesser battery life of the Sennheiser or M&D neither do I want to carry a case that I can't put in my pocket (Powerbeats Pro). If I really want better sound, I have plenty of higher end IEMs and CIEMs. The point of true wireless earbuds is the convenience so it just has to sound good enough for me.
