I mean I get it, but the OnePlus 12 is really better in most categories compared to the nothing phone 2. And it actually functions properly on Verizon for those of us using that carrier in the US. However, Nothing's software is an excellent flavor of Android.
Why not have this analytical approach for the CMF Buds Pro 2 you guys reviewed? I mean there were almost no graphs or anything like this. Doesn't make any sense how two products of the same category can be treated so differently.
I have the headphones. They are really good. Small, light and have a matt design. The BassWave function wasn't even mentioned. Nor was the equalizer shown. You can use it to adjust the headphones really well. I almost only listen to podcasts and they're really great for that. But also for music. You can hear a lot of detail. The case has a good finish and is small and light. I had previously tested all Galaxy Buds and Google Pixel A Buds as well as soundcore liberty 4 nc and these are the best of all. They are also available under the name Oppo Enco Air4 Pro. They even have LDAC. It's a shame that they were tested so carelessly. Other headphones get much more attention. Thankfully, I tested them myself.
It's so f*ing annoying when manufacturers just don't allow all action for all gestures. Volume Up/Down on single tap makes so much more sense than on press and hold
@@w41g87 Except if you want to increase it just one level. And you could still habe single tap and tap and hold for volume if you're able to assign every action to every gesture.
0:45 actually thats pretty long. i heard people say any longer might hurt. she says that’s the perfect size and as long as you know how to plug it in it’s not about the length of the cable
hold on a second, this thing is acctually cheap in India???? wowwww Here in India, its 3000rs like 37$ USD. Cuz at this price, the buds are a good choice
I think you may be missing the potential for a rounding error. If the case is say 38.3 and the buds 9.3 they would total at 49.6 which the scales would round to 50g
The naming indeed seems to be a marketing move more than anything. Also, it's surprising to see the hefty discrepancy in battery life with and without ANC. Overall, it seems like the product still needs some improvement.
Yeah, I'm confused AF by OnePlus. OnePlus Buds 2 Pro is $99 OnePlus Buds 3 is $99 Wow...~10 days after this video...they FINALLY release the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, now we need a follow-up vid to know how it compares lol
i have the oneplus buds 2 pro and the 3's, the 2 pro have the weird issue, which is known to some users, that the bass is not accurate and the bass driver bumps into the treble driver. i dont recommend the 2 pro's at all
@@corey7219 literally love the buds 2 pro, but if the anc was a tad bit stronger I would label them the best buds I've ever used, but still doesnt stop me from using them as my dailies
I have been using buds 3 for a while now and they are fantastic. The ANC is so great, compared it with my friend's airpods pro 2 and the ANC feels pretty close and strong
Stupid minor thing but.. i would prefere not branded stickers if brands put them in their packaging, so if you are into stickers you might be able to use them for stuff without turning the things you put them on into an advertisement.
I don't think it's not allowed, but I don't think they want hosts to have their own channels cuz it could siphon views from the LMG group, so that's probably why
i want to see which of these earbuds is nearest to the airpods , since airpods is really good in neutral area and also has become an industry standard for anc's.
i got them as a gift, few things i dont like its when they are connecting you can heard weird "scary/buzzy noise" very loud. another thing is very important, they use weird silicon so after a few hours o wearing buds just get loss and very easy to loss them, always need to fix them. they are not for me, glad it was a free gift :D now they can collect dust in my drawer
All those settings and not one of them changes the "pause when you take out an earbud"(on/off button would be great). Im actually pretty upset. The reason im taking an earbud out is to talk to someone and continue listening to music. Now, if I want to continue listening to music and someone taps me on the sholder. I need to turn my muisc down or turn it into transpancy mode(maybe even both). Not ideal cuz an earbud is still ubstructing my ability to listen. Those both take longer than just pulling an earbud out. I like the idea and would probably use it. I just hate the idea that I dont have a choice in the matter. There are just a lot of scenarios where it ruins my music listening experiences by pausing it when I didn't want it to. If it were me, I would like to have this *setting* turned off most of the time. That being said thats really my olny beef with them. I just got them, but they do seem to be very good quality. Im probably going to use them more than my beats. They are more comfortable. Its almost like they aren't even in my ears.
The reason you are seeing active noise canceling on these headphones and other headphones that don’t cancel very much sound is because they were all badly engineered.
When James was commenting on how long it took to turn the volume down, I said to myself "That a little long, doesn't seam that bad".... Then I realized/remembered I watch youtube at 2x speeds.... ha.
its funny how just today, ludwig made a video about sponsorships he declined, and magic spoon was one of them. he said they taste very mid + they cost 10$ per box
Pro, Max, Ultra... I'm sort of okay with these nonsense words when they are suffixes to separate different versions of the same product. I hate it however when words like these are used only to imply certain quality of product in a vacuum because inevitably companies - through product iterations and marketing them over time - reduce the meaning of the words into nothing. And when words mean nothing and you add them on to things just to make them more appealing, that's frustrating. Language means nothing any more, words are cheap. Apple is by no means the only one in this list of companies engaging in nonsense branding.
They look the same as Oppo enco air 4 pro and OPPO Enco X3i looks just the same as One plus buds 3. Maybe they do it for better compatibility with phone that is the same brand as buds, so you don't have to download external app. Who knows...
You guys used to just wear it and tell how it felt. I got info from you rface and how your body reacted to the experience . now im getting boring graphs. dont get me wrong its nice o have but boy would I ove to see ya'll take on how you guys aactually like it
OnePlus just keeps pumping out weird products with no direction, the entire point of nord products was budget crap, how can there be "pro" anything from the nord line.
It's frustrating when companies brand things as pro & they don't live up to the name.
pro doesnt mean anything...just a marketing tactic
Its called pro because the Nord 3 are released in other countries
I keep forgetting OnePlus exists ever since Nothing happened
What happened?
weird to think, as oneplus is better in most categories.

How do you differentiate between double/triple taps from multiple volume up/down taps

So are these downgrades from the previous 2 nord buds?
For better seal, just get a over ear headphone that covers the ears. Plus way longer battery life. And of course bigger and better sound stage.
I’ve been borrowing my roommates 2008 Ford Ranger 3.0L sport. There is nothing sport about it.
I think your test head would need to be the same temperature as a person to get better results. The buds use the body heat to help with measurements
Does James have a YT channel?, can't seem to find any. Would love to see more of this guys personal taste on tech, specially on audio.
I don't think it's not allowed, but I don't think they want hosts to have their own channels cuz it could siphon views from the LMG group, so that's probably why
He would be allowed to. Brandon has his own channel, Emily too. Berkel and Taran had it too when they worked at LMG
$79.99?? are you kidding? In India, it's around $38 dollars only and that's an amazing deal.

No
The reason you are seeing active noise canceling on these headphones and other headphones that don’t cancel very much sound is because they were all badly engineered.
I have some JBL crap from the same factory. There is still some sound coming from them, but only because I use an app that amplifies the sound.

LAY IT ON ME JAMES
I love my Nord buds 2 I haven't found anything better for a balanced sound with punchy bass
I think the best test for how well they stay in your ears should be going down stairs quickly
I wasn’t ready for that microphone quality 💀
Nord 3 buds are launched in other nations
My current pair of earbuds also cancel more noise with noise cancellation off 🙃so I definitely felt very seen there.
Design looks like they outsourced the product to Soundpeats
The case design looks strikingly similar to the Huawei freebuds, especially the speckles
Can you do Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro review????
