Is audio engineer the same as sound engineering? I just got into college and I’m interested in following this pathway. Do you have any tips or heads up in what I should do?
@@NicoArias can be used interchangeably. Take classes in different types of classes, from live audio, to mixing, sound engineering with hardware in spaces (speakers, locations), and any other types of audio spaces you can think of and see which you truly enjoy the most. involves more math than people think
This comment means a lot to me. I am not 100% sure as to how big of a sound stage there will be with these earphones but I will find out. Just ordered them.
@@soulmalia well I got them 3 days ago. I have to say that the audio spectrum, as to the pitches it can play low and high frequency it is fantastic. Even the deepest bass and the highest highs it plays without problems. What annoys me though is, that if you play back music on the lowest volume, there is white noise which gets as loud as the music on the lowest lvl. In normal conditions you probably won’t notice cause background noice will cover it, but if you put them into your ears right in the morning, where your sense of hearing is fresh in comparison to silence it annoys me… I don’t wanna hurt my ears because I need to here them louder than necessary to cover the white noise… I didn’t Pay 200 bucks for that. Now I don’t know whether some white noise is normal with speakers, cause I had Anker soundcore liberty 2 pro before and they had the same problem. Gonna go to a friend of mine who has over ears (Bose qc 25) to check whether this phenomenon is normal with headphones… but I don’t like it. Is there anyone else that has experience with such stuff?
I've tried everything on the market including some in the $399 and these are the best when it comes to sound quality, not even close in my opinion. The soundstage is incredible. Like you pointed out, you hear allot of stuff in your music you may not have heard before. Love, love, love these.
Juan, this is the kind of review we need, on products that are actually worth our attention... And that's why I've subscribed to your channel, because as a former HTC guy and still running a LG v30 (with a v60 standing by), I know YOU know what's up. I can count on you for quality content, so thank you 🙏🙏
I have the 3ANCs. Overall, the sound quality and dynamic range are excellent, but they are horrific in windy conditions, like even a mild breeze. I have to turn off both ANC and Passthrough modes to get decent sound quality in wind (which, oddly, can only be done through the phone app - the pods only allow toggling between the 2 modes) .The physical buttons have almost no tactile feedback when you press them. They're almost completely flush with the top of the unit, so you have to press at just the right angle with your finger to activate them, and from time to time, they just don't respond when pressed. I bought these as an upgrade to my Between Pros, and even though the sound quality is not as great (still excellent, and better than iPods), I use my Pros way more often than the ANCs. Unless there's a need to hear some ambient sounds when using, I'd choose the noise isolation of the Pros before the 3ANCs
I have been bombarded with advertising by these guys and I was curious as to how these sound. I've heard some horror stories about trying to return them so I've been hesitant to try. I've got the Sony WF1000XM4 and they sound fantastic. But, as I assume is the case with all earbuds, they don't hit that sub bass region. I listen to mostly rap, reggae, R&B, classic rock, genres that really do play in that space so it would be nice to have but I haven't come across any that do it. I basically only use them in the gym so noise canceling is nice but not a dealbreaker and charging is never an issue. But I am always looking for a better acoustic experience. Which would you say has the better sound quality, the ANCs or the Pros?
@@somethinglastname888I got mine yesterday and they won’t charge any fix?I’ve already open the lid and held down the button no purple light ever shows. I cannot charge these and they are brand new. I’m about to send them back customer service is ass
I made a custom EQ that I like over the 3 presets. 31 = +5 73 = +3.5 176 = +1.5 423 = +4 1k = 0 2.4k = -3.5 5.8k = -4.5 14k = -4 These earbuds are entirely too sibilant in my opinion. These presets help to resolve that issue for me
I like that they have the combination of toggles and touch controls. 1more dual drivers tws had a legendary setup where everything was controlled by a button except for a double tap for ANC on the touch. Never had any accidental touches ever with that set up. I wish more companies would stick with a button but 1more went another level with having four options with the button and then a totally separate toggle with the double tap.
True about the Android codec situation. My V60 and some Samsung phones can use the LG Tone Free earbuds with AAC, but not so in several Redmi and Moto phones. It's a mess because, even when it gives you the option to change it, it doesn't for some reason.
@@SomeGadgetGuyits embarrassing too because apple is actually the worst for Bluetooth handling in iOS. Especially in complex audio processing apps, it just doesn't handle the handoff from the inbuilt speakers well at all. The only thing apple has going for them is the efficient pairing with devices that use their W1/2 chips. On android the handoff issue isn't a problem because it abstracts the audio outputs by default. So apps never really see your output, they rely on the media manager to deal with it.
Between 3ANC is the best I've heard so I purchased 3 pairs. I love the triple drivers.❤.. very clean and great sound. No need to buy very expensive earbuds.
I think I will give these a shot. I have spent a lot on various "pro" level earbuds and none have had a good fit for my ears. Galaxy Buds pro2s being the closest but the right bud always works its way out lol.
Samsung is running a promo on the buds pro 3 so I would take advantage of that and get them for around 100-120 bucks. The have a new planner mag driver.

Hi there, I am exactly in the same situation you are in and I recently saw the 3ANC’s for sale- and now I have them. I am very, very thoroughly impressed with how much more lively these truly are compared to the XM4’s, which I also have. The main thing that pushed me to buy the 3ANC instead of their Pro model was their triple driver system and you can really distinguish basses, mids and trebles apart as they never disturb one another and that is something I have been hunting for forever and have finally struck gold with the 3ANC’s. If you happen to still catch a deal on these they are truly a joy to listen to.
@@vulcan963 that's crazy. the black Friday sale, right? for $140 I decided to roll the dice. and I ordered them on Amazon and they rarely give me return grief. haven't received them yet but am eager to try.
When I first got these I was a bit disappointed, but now they are one of my favorite Audio devices period. Idk if they just needed a bit of burn in or maybe the original between pro eq wasn’t selected (bugged).
@@morespinach9832 no, it has 3 presets. I like the between pro eq and the audiophile eq. Also has a custom eq. I also have Sony xm3, AirPods Pro 2, moondrop space travel, EarFun free pro 3 and a few soundpeats. Also a large collection of iems, audeze maxwell, edition xs and fiio ft3. I’m not saying it’s the absolute best audio I own, but one of my favorites. My favorite tws easily.
I'm still using my LG v60 (miss those LG reviews of the past- I haven't come across another android phone that makes me want to part with my lg v60). I'm looking for audio quality focussed earbuds (not bothered about anc, transparency, mic quality - I have other day to day earbuds for ise out wkd about).

Just got mine in this morning. Cannot seem to get these things to stay in my ear. Every time I open my jaw slightly both just pop out. Not many video show hot to change the different size ear pieces? It's not even included in their manual. What am I missing?
I’ve been looking for quite a while at these specific headphones, and I was just curious how the audiobooks play with them. I listen every single day to lots of audio books, so I was just curious if the audio is as excellent with voices, as it is with bass and treble. THANX🤠🤠🤠
I really don't think they "need" a lot. I just lightly nudged up the low mids/upper bass and I was "happy". Being silly though, I thought the buds responded well to slathering on a bit more low end, and almost replicated the phat sound I liike from soundcore, while still keeping some room for upper mids, vocals, and articulation. It's a good example of an earbud where playing is rewarding.
Original between pro eq is good enough. Status audiophile is good too, but a bit bland (good for podcasts). This is the best tws I’ve heard, way better than AirPods Pro 2 or Sony.
@@blank_earth as far as presets I’d say so, but for loud listening the audiophile works better. Otherwise the other 2 become too boomy once you hit a certain point. Most of my time is with original between pro, because it’s dynamic at lower/mid/low high volume.
their active noise cancellation is unrivaled, i can hear a car going by me no problem walking down the street, only downside can't wear a beanie with these cause they stick out, but other than that the audio quality is extremely deep and impactful, loud, satisfied with them. only knew about the company for half a day and had to cop a pair, glad i did.
Buy these and try them for a month… then go back and listen to your other earbuds… only then will you understand how great these are… the touch controls are my only issue…
The way he describes it kinda worries me. The word “practical” doesn’t seem like something amazing, I’m hoping the sound from these earbuds is “amazing” cause I just bought these 💀 Then again i’m not as knowledgeable when it comes to audio engineering so i dont know until I try
Has anyone else noticed a slight fuzzy static background sound when the ANC and ambient modes are on? Is this normal? When I turn ANC and ambient modes both off, it disappears but reappears when sound is being played. Other than that sound is impeccable and I am happy with them
Is it the same with your headphone? You really have to listen right after you put your headphones in because if you play back loud music the ear will adapt and overhear the white noise.
Yea it's the same with mine I think that's just how they are. I don't notice it as much now mostly cause there is usually sound playing. When the sound plays its not very noticeable
Anyone else think this guy looks like Christopher Reid from Kid N Play/House party fame, it’s like he made house party and class act and then disappeared and then turned back up decades later only to create TH-cam channel reviewing audio paraphernalia…just me ? Ok
Don't buy these, Bad for excercise, Don't properly fit, mesh broke and no replacements on the website, they fall out easily not happy wish i returned mine when i still could, they caused my ear to scab too. Only good part is audio quality,
You can get superior sounds from the free AKG IEM that came free with your samsung phone. The cheap Akg already sound better than the expensive B&O Ex or EQ.
Beware! Do not lose your case! They do not sell replacement cases, you'll have to buy another pair. The customer service is also TERRIBLE! The headphones are great though!
