About this deal
Mono/Stereo Modes: Use both earbuds or remove a single side from the charging case to automatically enter Mono mode. However, the overemphasized bass makes the mix sound muddy, while vocals and instruments sound harsh and sibilants piercing due to the extra treble. Unfortunately, they can't pair with a companion app, so you can't change their mix. If you'd like more bass, though, their 'BassUp' featureboosts this range even more, which will compliment fans of heavier genres like dubstep and D&B. You can activate it using the controls on the ear cups. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro Truly Wireless are sleek in-ears with a great noise isolation performance. However, their 4.7-hour continuous battery life is shorter than the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Truly Wireless, and they don't feel as well-built. Also, if you're one of those "premium feel" people that put a metal casing above good performance and build quality? Just bail now, they're plastic across the board. The Anker Space A40 have great Bluetooth connectivity. They support multi-device pairing, so you can connect your headphones to two devices simultaneously. While they have high latency on PCs, their latency is lower on iOS and Android devices, ensuring your audio and visuals stay in sync. These headphones also support LDAC, which is Sony's proprietary hi-res codec. However, you need to use compatible audio to benefit from this codec, and you can only connect to one device at a time.
Most Anker headphones are compatible with the Anker Soundcore app, which offers a graphic EQ and presets so you can adjust your headphones' sound to your liking. You can also remap controls and adjust the active noise cancelling (ANC) level to suit your needs. I can't get comfortable with these rubber tipped buds, I tried all the fittings it came with and they all wound up hurting after a short bit. And if you don't get them in just, right, they don't sound good. One-Step Pairing: Life Dot 2 true wireless earbuds use our proprietary Push and Go technology to automatically connect with the last paired device. These earbuds have a well-balanced default sound profile that you can customize with a parametric EQ and presets in the headphones' companion app. While their roughly five hours of continuous battery life is short for a 9-5 workday, it'll last through most workouts, and their case holds a few extra charges. Unfortunately, even though they have an ANC feature, it doesn't offer a very good noise isolation performance, so they aren't ideal if you want to isolate yourself from noise at the gym. That may not be an issue if you run outside since it makes it easier to stay aware of your surroundings.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Truly Wireless are the best wireless earbuds for sound quality that we've tested. These headphones are a great choice for listening to all sorts of genres thanks to their neutral and balanced sound, which is more versatile than the similarly-priced Google Pixel Buds Pro Truly Wireless. Whether you're listening to bass-heavy genres like EDM or vocal-centric content like folk music, these buds reproduce voices and lead instruments with great clarity and accuracy. If you want to switch up their sound, there are a couple of different EQ presets in their app, too.
Fixed a written mistake in the Controls test stating that they had physical buttons. These earbuds have a touch-sensitive control scheme, and the text has been adjusted.They sound pretty good. I notice if the song is paticular bassy it can be a bit distorted even at mid volumes- but the bass is there unlike other earbuds I've tried. I bet if you play with your equalizer more than me, you might be able to nail it where it works but I believe you'll be losing out if you like extra bass.
If you’ve already paired to your primary device and want to connect your earbuds to a second device, then follow these steps: Using the 'JLab Signature' EQ, they have a bass-rich sound profile that delivers a bump of extra punch and boom to mixes. The extra bass doesn't overwhelm vocals and lead instruments, so they're still versatile enough for most types of audio content. They also don't come with a companion app, meaning that the only EQ options you have are the three EQ presets built into the earbuds, which gives you significantly less control over the audio than the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless. However, they last longer than the JBL on a single charge. The build quality feels really good between both the earbuds and the case. Pairing wasn't a problem and even with my no-name-brand MP3 player they seem to sync up instantly. The MP4 player I have claims it's bluetooth 4.2 but works really well with these that are 5.0. They have a warm default sound profile, with cozy-sounding vocals and lead instruments. The companion app includes a graphic EQ and presets if you prefer a different sound, but unlike the Google earbuds, they don't come with any virtual surround sound features. They aren't the best option for workouts since they don't have stability fins or a very stable fit and may slip out of place if you move your head around a lot. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC Truly Wireless are a good alternative if you want similarly-performing buds with a slightly different shape. Compared to the Space A40's rounded look, the Liberty 4 have a more traditional stem design that some users may find preferable. The Liberty 4 also bring a touch more bass, though this muddies their reproduction of vocals and instruments a bit.The Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless are the best true wireless earbuds we've tested. These high-end buds are the next generation of the Sony WF-1000XM4 Truly Wireless and have improved overall performance. They use memory foam ear tips alongsidetheir noise cancelling (ANC) system to reduce a significant amount of ambient sound. The ear tips do most of the heavy lifting, as the ANC mostly targets bass-range noise like bus rumbles. Although not all of their headphones support this codec, a couple of their latest headphones, like the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless, support LDAC, designed for Hi-Res audio. Support for this codec is also uncommon in truly wireless headphones. You can customize their sound using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. Like their truly wireless counterpart, the Anker Soundcore Space A40 Truly Wireless, they even support LDAC codec, making them a solid choice for Hi-Res audio content. They offer multi-device and NFC pairing, so connecting them to your smartphone or laptop is easy. I love these earbuds. My main dislike is that there is a constantly blinking LED on each that you cannot turn off. Personally, I don't mind this, but my wife sure does when she's trying to sleep next to me. Otherwise they've been great. I've had two pairs, and I've lost the right ear bud two times...sigh. However, my two left ear buds have worked reliably for 1 and 2 years, respectively, with very extensive use.
