If you're looking for the best sound these are going to be it. I have used Galaxy buds live, Jabra 3ts, Skullcandy and the Chinese ones. These ones have the clear sound with controllable bass.

The design sucks , because it's like having two Bluetooth headsets in each ear and the microphone isn't great according to the people I call.

I chose the Galaxy Buds 2 for about this price over the Sony's that were a little more at the time. But at this price, maybe I need both, lol.
https://www.samsung.com/in/suppor...ble-codec/

The Samsung supports Scalable codec with Samsung phones for better audio quality than the standard sbc/aac low-end codecs both support.

Sadly, this Sony does not support the Sony LDAC highest quality bt codec available for Android phones - the new mk4 model does.

This means for both, sbc or aac connections only give you FM radio quality audio. Don't complain - you need the mk4 AND high quality music (tidal hq l, flac, etc) for CD+ quality audio.

Still, good price on a returned earbud....as long as there's no earwax stuck in the tubes with bacteria/viruses...

I had these and they are the best noise canceling buds. Not as good as the Sony headphones but for buds they are the best. My issue is I normally have problems keeping the buds in my ears. These are a heavier bud so they do fall out easy. I have the Samsung 2 and the wing helps hold them in a lot. If you do not have an issue with buds falling out I would definitely go for them, especially at this price.
How do they compare against AirPods Pro? Looking for something I can use for zoom calls and also listening to music and other audio while working out.

is the earwax extra?
Even if it is, all the sanitizer that you hoarded over the past two years can be put to some extracurricular use as well. Smilie

Noise canceling will be slightly better on the Sony. AirPods are not bad, but the buds from Sony will hold out more noise. Otherwise the AirPods will be more comfortable to wear, the connection will be better on an iPhone too.

Be careful. I bought them from Secondipity, turned out to be a very limited edition. They came with previous owner's ear wax.

I remember this available before and don't recall my research comparing them to my current Galaxy buds, but I don't have them so it must have not been worth it.

at $50 this is a no brainer. I spent a little more for the Thanksgiving deal and it was a steal.

Be aware that this ONLY has the AAC and SBC codec - none of the fancy APTX or LDAC codecs (even though Sony invented LDAC). that was kind of a bummer to me, but these still sound really good - much better than my old bluetooth headphones that I used to do yardwork and cancel out the lawnmower noise. Mine came with all the tips including some extra pre-installed tips, the charging cable, charging case, but no power brick (but who doesn't have spares)

Quote from srikvp :
The batteries in these are replaceable, unlike most of the other wireless earbuds. When it comes to the sound, they are not as good as Galaxy buds pro (which are the best), but they are very good. ANC is probably second only to WF4.
I can't dispute the sound quality of the Galaxy Buds vs these, but I can say with 100% certainty that the Galaxy Buds (Pro) are NOT the best out there. You're nuts if you really think Samsung makes headphones that even remotely compete with the best brands out there. And please let me know when they install a Samsung audio system in ANY luxury car. LMAO

Best sound: Bowers & Wilkins PI7
