"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."


"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."


"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"The CCA trio and the Vader Balanced are similarly tuned, but both are one of the best iems under 30 usd."


"I downgraded from the meet 2 to se since I was only using 1080p and am happy with my choice! ... If you’re planning on just doing 1080p I’d save the cash and go meet se."


"JLab go sport + FTW. ... I have the same sweaty ear issue and the beats fall out of my head. ... The jlab are cheap and even they stay in. (Because they hook over your ear)"

"CMF Buds Pro 2 has insane bass. ... Feels like you have powerful low end monster subwoofers playing into your head. ... Really feels like your head is vibrating."


"CMF buds pro 2 are bass head earbuds with some good rumble to them"

"the wind noise is terrible."


"even with hear through mode I feel cut off from my surroundings with ear buds ... The hear through kind of sucks when running though. ... Lot of wind noise ... I personally still feel isolated from the outside world in a way that isn quite safe."


"Definitely get the wind noise when using hearthrough. ... When I turned on wind noise reduction, the wind noise was cut in half. I would compare it to the low rumble when you're on a plane, but not nearly as loud. ... I switched back and forth a few times and without the wind noise reduction turned on, it sounded more like a wind tunnel."

r/AutisticWithADHDBest noise reducing headphones I don’t love the ones I bought
4 months ago

do you want headphones/earphones or earplugs? loops are earplugs, they have different intensity levels based on the model and they work well for what they are, but they only filter noise, don't block it completely if you want to actually block out all sounds you want noise cancelling, which you won't get in earplugs but only in headphones/earphones. the rule of thumb with these is that noise cancelling earphones, that go in your ear like earplugs, will give you better noice cancelling for cheaper when compared to over-ear headphones. the model I've personally used and can recommend is jabra elite 4 active, I've used them for about a year but lost them and got the elite 8 active model instead, but I feel like the 4s had better noice cancelling than the 8s, even though it's an older model

Yeah the 75ts are the ones I got first and fell in love with. Then I got the Jabra 3 elites and then the Jabra 4 actives. The only reason I got new ones is I lost the other ones. I now have an air tag on them. The best.

I have had a few sets and so far so good, i had a set of elite 4 actives which i bought because of the waterproof rating, i wear them literally to go to the sauna where i sit for hours, then have a shower with them in then go into the plunge pool (all the way under) then back into the sauna. i do this daily for about an hour or 2 they lasted about 9 months of that which i thought was pretty impressive honestly, most other earbuds die pretty fast in those environments. they technically still work but they have started getting a little funky in the software department. I have a pair of elite 7 active which i use as sleep buds because theyre low profile and again, no issues, sometimes the process of updating is a little weird but like, it does it... eventually, By comparison i got a pair of XM4's and they had something wrong with the speaker that made it sound like there was a ringing whenever i moved my head, coughed etc. Sony gave me the run around on those even though its a well documented issue I have also just sent back a pair of Momentum TW3 because one earbud just like, died, wont charge any more, those also had a really dicky case where if the buds got just a little bit of ear crud on them they wouldnt charge - again a well known and documented issue, all you had to do was clean the buds and theyd work again but like, i shouldnt have to play roulette once every 2 - 3 weeks on whether my buds will work. Last pair ill comment on is Momentum TW2's, they were pretty good and i still use them but when i work out in them, sometimes one ear will like, lose power, not totally, its still playing but theres no bass, the volume is low, then randomly 2 - 3 mins later they go normal again then they die again and repeat... it was really weird. TLDR: Jabra have been good to me in the 3 pairs i have owned, by comparison every time i spend 400 - 500 on a pair of buds (AUD) they have been pretty fuckin trash..

r/EarbudsBest earbuds for calls

I’d go with the Jabra Elite 4 Active with clear mic, comfy fit, and great battery under 100€. If budget allows, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro deliver excellent call and music quality. Skip budget ENC buds, the mics usually disappoint. Also, check the sound out on AudioTones .co before buying super useful to hear the difference.

Honestly, if you want something that just won’t fall out, go with the Beats Fit Pro those wing tips hug your ears and stay locked in even when you’re pushing hard, plus you get solid ANC and that classic Apple/Beats sound. If you’d rather keep things closer to budget, the Jabra Elite 4 Active are super comfy, sweatproof, and tuned for workouts without feeling bulky. Both are easy recommendations. check them out on [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co) before you buy so you know which vibe fits you best.

r/JabraWhat buds are people going for now we can't go for Jabra?
about 2 months ago

I was happy with my Jabra Elite 4 Active but suddenly, after about a year, one of them lost volume after a couple of seconds of use. I got a pair of JBL Live Pro 2 instead. I like everything about them but not the fit. It feels like they're about to slip out any second. I wouldn't dare running or anything like it with them. Would love a clone of the old Jabra, the fit was great.

r/aspergirlsWhat's the best noise cancelling headphones you have tried?

Anker A3i are on the cheaper side and work perfectly. I accidentally lost them so my lovely partner is letting me borrow their Jabra Elite 4 Active and those are alright. Good but not as good. I don't like that the quietest setting still feels so loud but for noise cancelling they're good

I specifically bought my Jabra Elite 4 Active to replace my shitty quality apple EarPods, sound quality and voice quality on apple just sucks. Been pretty happy so far, I would buy them again any time, cost benefit are great.

Have Jabra elite 4 active. Really food build quality and audio quality for the price. Only thong I miss is the multi device pairing with instant source switching (Like I have on my over ear Sennheiser HD 450 se, but find them too bulky for prolonged use)

r/adhdwomenEarbuds with noise cancelling for small ears?
9 months ago

me too, sort of! the inside of my ears is small but my ears overall are probably average size. Across all the pairs of wired earphones I've come across with usually 3 size options of silicone tips, I've only found 2 pairs that had a size that was small enough for me. Held onto one of those little silicone tips for so long and used them with many pairs of earphones over the years. I think I've lost them now, but either way they don't fit on airpods which is what I mostly use now. I have Jabbra Elite Active 4s which are horribly uncomfortable - the body is so bulky and hard and sits in your ear and it causes so much pain. I much prefer the shape and weight of the airpods, but it still isn't perfect. airpod pros are a bit better I think, but pretty far out of my budget. Also, I have become quite conscious of sound quality. A lot of reviews these days don't talk about sound quality or compare the sound quality to any meaningful benchmark. Noise cancelling is a bonus feature but not a necessity for me. Anyways. I mostly just came here to rant about how uncomfortable earphones are. and how few options we actually have, despite this whole capitalism bs. they're all the same old bs and most of them don't even sound good. But there's no good way to research any of it since the lies and advertising are so entrenched
