Best Ear Buds I have used. THEY DO NOT MOVE!
on December 8, 2024
Posted by: mastdog
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was skeptical at first about these ear buds being able to stay in my ear. while I know Jabra makes top quality sound devices, I was not prepared for this experience.
Pros
These FIT like they are part of your ear. I have tried at least 20 different ear buds and none fit like these. I was not sure how they would work but from the first try in the parking lot (did not want to take them home if they did not fit like all the other) I knew these were golden. After a few days of use, these have not once moved from my ear.
Comfort these are the most comfortable ear buds I have used. As in ear devices they are like they are not even there. Amazing
Sound What a rich and clear sound. With multiple default eq settings and the ability to customize it, the sound is amazing all around in these.
ANC. This is the best ANC I have used in a while. The world disappears when you turn it on. I mean, no sound gets through. Again, amazing

- There is no ambient sound mode with music. These have a passthrough setting, but the music stops when you activate it.

These are the best ear buds I have owned, and I have tried almost all brands (not beats, I am an Android user and they are mainly apple). I would tell everyone to get these.

Way better Ear Buds on the market for the price
on December 8, 2024
Posted by: mastdog
Verified Purchase:Yes
So as a Pixel owner, I was super excited for these ear buds with the wing to hold them in and a smaller design than the last pro version. I wanted to have a ear bud that fits into my eco system. I was disappointed.
Let me go over the pros and cons:
Pros -
- The features are rich, with the ability to use the AI and translate, these are very good
- The ambient sound works awesome and the ANC is above average (but the fit hampers that, more on that later)
- Color is cool, I mean, not many brands offer color options as these
- The features are rich, with the ability to use the AI and translate, these are very good
- The ambient sound works awesome and the ANC is above average (but the fit hampers that, more on that later)
- Color is cool, I mean, not many brands offer color options as these
Cons-
- FIT. FIT. FIT. These do not stay in the ear, plain and simple. While I thought the wing would fix this, I was VERY upset with these and how they do not fit. Now, they are better than the og pros, they are not up to a standard for the price. In comparison my Samsung Buds FE which I got for 80 dollars stay in my ear WAY better. I also just purchased the Jabra - Elite 8 Active Gen 2 Military and these ear buds DO NOT MOVE. No matter what I do those do not move. While the Buds 2 Pro are meant to stay, they do not. This also has a negative effect on all listening but most of all in ANC mode. In ANC mode, you lose most of the capability because the buds do not fit tightly.
- Sound quality is good, but the limited ability to adjust or have a hearing test to identify your hearing sweet spot is sad. Anker and Jabra do have this and it makes a huge difference in the listening experience.
- Cost, for the price I was sad by these. while they have a premium price tag, they are worth about half the price.

While all ears are different, I can't help but wonder how many people have settled for the poor fit to have the features, and probably won't admit they made a 200 dollar mistake in getting these.
I would not suggest this ear bud to a friend.

Coming from the Buds Pro these are a huge improvement. Sounds was iffy at first but once it was tweaked it was great. Also they stay in my ears. So many times I fought the others to stay in as I was eating etc
Great buds.

Best earbuds I have owned
on April 25, 2024
Posted by: mastdog
Verified Purchase:Yes
So my challenge is that when I buy earbuds I want them to stay in my ear. Yes, I like Great sound but Great sound doesn't mean anything if I'm constantly having to touch those earbuds. After going through at least five different sets of earbuds, I finally found ones that stay in my ear have great sound and are really cheap.

This computer can't figure out if it has Bluetooth or not. Bluetooth keyboards never stay connected. This is the second computer I've received. I've gone through every step. I've done everything I've reset it. This is a piece of crap. Stay away

By mastdog
Fit is not good. They won't stay in my ear to save my life. While they are a good product, if they don't fit that is all that matters. I have tried every option out there, and nothing work.
They will be sent back for something else which is a shame. Google messed up with this design.

They were less than helpful. They said they would send it to the next tier of support. Unless they can redesign them in my ear that is not going to be worth anything either.

After a very useful discussion with support the issue was resolved. Thank you for fixing this and I cannot change the review but it would be 5 stars now as this is an excellent computer when purchased on sale.
