This is exactly what I've been looking for, thanks!
Glad I could help! 😁 so which one is your pick?
@@namedkenn galaxy buds live or fiil cc nano bc I want bass and good mic quality for phone calls :)
thanks for another great vid!
Yo, Ken my man, can't believe you truly released this video this early. Exactly what I needed to find a worthy replacement for my old Samsung Beans with new tech.
Thanks Kenn! Just picked up the Haylou’s through your link
Awesome! Thank you and enjoy 😁
Great review 💪💪
Thanks Kenneth. Your picks are great and I enjoy your content.
I would also include the Honor Earbuds X5. They cost below 40$, offer multipoint, app support, sound great and the call quality is great as well. They're my daily driver for work and listening to music.
Just remember to enable the bass EQ in the app for a more immersive sound.
Yeah, was looking for it, just bought an IEM 2 weeks ago, but I found it uncomfortable to have a phone call with, half ear is the answer. Thank you.
Surprised that the Oppo Enc Air 3 (not the pro version) is not listed.
I got them for ~40€ and they now replace my SP TrueAir 2+.
Sound quality is WAY better than on the SP.
They really deserve their own review.
Great review.
What do you think about the Nothing Ear (stick) ?
Thanks.
Semangat bro, menuju ke 100 subs nya! 🔥
Have you tried the CANVIIS Pro? Is it better than that? Thanks! Planning to buy one for music and gaming
This is the exact video I, who doesn't like in-ears, need Kenn. Thank you for making this one! My TrueAir 2 has terrible battery so I really need an upgrade
My TrueAir 2's battery got degraded so bad, I replaced it with Air 3 Deluxe recently.
The Air 3 Deluxe sounded clearer, & has more detail than TrueAir 2.
my trueair 2 was murdered by my washing machine, looking for a cheap replacement now
Hi KT ! , do you have a recommended settings for soundpeats air4 / lite . thanks !
Thank You!!
I just purchased the
fiil CC nano earbuds for $47.00 😀
That is such a great value!
I'm choosing between FIIL CC NANO and soundpeat air 4. Can you help advise what is the sound different and which one is more comfortable to use while commuting?
Thanks 😊
Currently own the Soundpeats True Air 2 and for some reason it sounds more muffled to me. What surprised me is that the standard version have a gaming mode which was not advertised as such. I did used to drive the Tronsmart Onyx Ace and that seems clearer to me but battery life wasn't the greatest. I planned to get the Pro version sometimes. I'll check these lists too when I feel like upgrading.
They did a stealth update of the original trueair 2 that added gaming mode and bluetooth 5.2. The ones they originally sold, including mine, don't have it and can't be upgraded. The weird thing is, that means 2 out of 4 of the "new" features of the trueair 2+ also quietly came to the trueair 2.
hopefully you will review the FIIL KEY PRO, thank you.🤝🙌👌💯💪👍🔥👏😤❤️🙏
Got it from Amazon lndia in the Great lndian Sale paying 70 dollars....Fantastic buds...
thank u for this, i have silicone tipped headsets
please advice between fill cc nano and air 3 hs ?
Nice review! I wanted a half-in ear pair with a good mic, so I was torn between Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS or FIIL CC Nano, but in the end I bought the former because of the price. I got it for $28 with discount vouchers and I thought it was a steal (FIIL was $45)! I just turn off LDAC coz there were latency issues watching TH-cam with my Pixel 7. Still happy with my purchase!
Holy crap that’s a veeery good deal! And yes even with standard codecs they sound mighty fine so yeah 😁
@@namedkennikr?? Your reviews really helped me with my purchase! Thanks man and keep it up!
Seems like galaxy is the most comfortable one? Can you please rank in terms of comfort among the three, galaxy, fill cc and soundpeats? I've used soundpeats air 3 and they hurt after a few hours so is it also the same with fill cc?
Is the 1more Comfobuds Pro still a good choice now?
Otw 100.000 sub 👍
does some of proposed tws has android fast pair? like with nothing ear stick, which has that feature
Should I get the fill T1 pro or space travel? Both are around the same price
Which Fill should I get for active cancellation better? I love fill since I saw your video. Tolong di bales kak Ken!!!!
thx rekomendasinya bang sangat mencerahkan, gils inggrisnya enak bener kwkwk
Hey tanaka ive been watching yr vids to help me with my dilemas haha can u do reviews on aukey earbuds???
Haha I'll try to help any way I can, unfortunately I haven't tried much AUKEY, although in my experience they're quite heavily bassy tuned, but that's probably just the model I was testing
Hello bro, please advise me fill cc nano or soundpeats air 3?
You are the REAL earbuds reviewer.
Any recommendations for half in ear that has usb dongle for 2.4ghz connection ?
Where do u place qcy ht05 regarding sound quality?
Can you try realme buds air 5? Thanks!
I wish you could have review for the monster xkt10
Have you ever tried CMF Buds Pro?
Buds live gang!!! Im using them as we speak lol watching this video!!!
Buds live the best earbuds i ever bought and i own a collection of buds.
i use them all day while driving and still being able to here surroundings while maintaining great Bass.
The ANC is different on these pair of buds, i found the anc is for bass and sound boost. not too much for noise cancellation which they still do a great job of blocking enough traffic while i can here my surroundings..
I say these a must buy especially for an open ear bud. BTW i own three pairs and planning on buy more just cuz..
Bro, eu faço o mesmo que você, mas porque você não dá uma variada para o Sony Linkbuds?
Eu arrisquei e não me arrependi! São fantásticos
Which are better sounding soundpeats engine 4 or kz zs10pro x in wired mod
I’ve own deluxe hs..does fiil sound quality better than deluxe hs..
I have the Soundcore Life P3.. they r good for bass but not for calls! they suck on the ANC.. any to recommend that doesn't go over 100 SGD? LOL! I did think of the Creative Outlier Pro..
i am here to ask a question, ken!
what do you think about the Sabbat M200? Which one do you prefer, Moondrop SpaceTravel Or Sabbat M200? Is there a better choice for the Sabbat M200? Thanks!!!!
Hey bro, if you have the time, kindly review the huawei freebuds se 2. It has been getting rave reviews. Thanks.
Soundpeats air 3 deluxe hs or fill cc nano? Please help I can't decide what to buy
Watching this with my Soundcore liberty 4NC earbuds with ANC on....wow....amazing sound...brother...Love from lndia.
im actually interested in moondrop sparks cuz my friend offered it for around 26$(fullset). is it good for todays"s market, for 26$? i also interested on buying one for brand new too for 90$ in online store. cuz i wanted to give it as a birthday present for my li bro since he actually liked anime too. and there is no way im giving him a used one. as for the used one im going to use it. if the brand new sparks is nota a good deal, is there any tws that's like anime ish? the budget is 90$ and could be as high as 100$
What about the Vention TWS? Those things is selling for US$6 at the local green store! I don't know if it's auto e-waste or legit value for money.
This is the perfect video for weirdos who don't like silicone eartips
I love in-ear style but my ears don't like them. 😢
So yeah u can call me weirdo...
Lmaoooo 😂
air3 deluxe HS or air 4 lite which is better?
Anyone knows difference between fiil nano vs fill cc2 vs fiil cc pro2?
The price have huge difference, is it worth it?
Please review nothing ear 2 would be great to know comments from great reviewer like you
Cant decide for cc nano or cc pro2
I had to give away 2 true airs before I realized that I cannot stand too much treble. Maybe I will try soundcore next time
Great video and a rare gem for people like me who don't stand in ear silicon tip designs
I currently run the haylou gt6
It's great for gaming and fine for music
But for calls it's meh at the best
On normal calls it's kinda fine but on calls with Skype or meet or teams it is ridiculous
I don't understand why the sound I hear on those calls is as muffled although normal phone calls are fine
I'm so glad the video helped! And I agree usually earbuds under $30 are not that great when it comes to mic quality, but when you go up to Air3/Air4 or the FIIL CC nano then you'll see a huge jump
@@namedkenn yeah exactly
I'm planning to upgrade to air3 deluxe hs or maybe buds live cuz I have found some good prices
I'm leaning toward air3 for its design I feel more comfortable it's design and I don't have a Samsung phone to benefit the extra features
In my country the air3 deluxe and deluxe HS goes around 50 dollar now ND bud live around 60
Which on do you suggest?
I'm using fiil cc nano for me is the best...
One thing i gotta say;
I see a LOT of channels before buying a new earbuds; in many videos, YOU make sure to emphasize the quality of some earbuds that NO OTHER youtuber have ever heard about it. I mean, for example, you have been presenting us the Fiil cc and moondrop since long time ago, and just know, all other channels, realized, they exist and that they are pretty good.
While some struggle to bring first, an white shiny elephant that is no further than a good looking, you go straight to the point with your sincere opinion and make sure to present to your subs all options available for all kind of taste and budget.
You are far ahead!
In resume, after watching your vídeos for the 10th time, i decided to buy Marshall, soundpeats Air 4 lite, moondrop space travel, fill cc nano; i figured out that buying link buds, freebuds 5, freebuds pro, Nothing stick, cmf by nothing and some, was a waste o money; they are great, but if you look with attention, you will find some crazy buds that will make you forget them
Hey Rafael, I hugely appreciate your comment and really it made my day! It's really the first thing I had in mind when making any and all videos, is to get straight to the point, put my shoes in my subs POV and tell them the most important things 😁
I'll keep on doing my best so hope to see you in future videos!
How about Huawei freebuds? Do they sound good?
Hi Ken, do you think Soundpeats free 2 classic is in overall better compares to True Air 2? Aside from battery life ya. Thanks for the answer.
Both are different. Soundpeats free 2 classic are in ear while the true air 2 are semi. If your gonna use these for the gym/sports get free 2 classic. They stayed in my ear very well. However I find True air 2 more comfortable for casual usage. Such as at home or out and about.
sorry, i want to ask something, how does the sound quality of these tws compare to in-ear tws with similiar price? because i really don't need ANC, thanks for the videos! your review always helped me out.
I have Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS and Fiil CC Nano, also Fiil T1 Pro and Soundpeats Engine 4, and tried my friend's Galaxy Buds Pro. Here is what i can say from my humble expirience:
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS is really good in the upper mids and treble, but lower mids and bass are weak and thin, bass sounds unnatural. Overall, in quiet places can sound really good and extremely balanced (with eq), like a 60-70% of what a in-ear can give you. Problem: Outdoors the bass disappears, becomes unusable.
Fiil CC Nano, for me, have 3 usable EQ's:
-Default EQ: Clean, beautiful mids, but lacks bass and could have a bit more highs for details.
-Melody preset: Same than default but with a bit more treble.
-Bass EQ: Big and natural sounding bass with good extension (but slow, not good for fast bass songs, double pedals in metal, etc), natural mids, a bit weak treble, perfect for outdoors and indoors if the place is not too quiet (otherwise it can be too bass heavy). This EQ is like a 80% of what a in-ear can give you.
Problem: You can have either too much bass or almost nothing, there is no midpoint, and the custom eq is unusable since it resets the DSP and eliminates the mids clarity.
Fiil is the clear winner, i doubt you can get any closer than this to an in-ear tws. I never used the soundpeats again since i got the Fiil.
thanks. I appreciate all of your reviews. because you have not mentioned ipx ratings on any of these, can we assume none have a rating?
Ah sorry I forgot to put them in because most are IPX4 or IPX5 nowadays!
Just the Galaxy Buds Live is IPX2, but all of them should be fine handling sweat or a bit of water splash, just don’t use them under shower or into the pool
Hi Kenn, thanks for the video. I’ve been enjoying Haylou GT6 for over a year after watching your review. Now the inner cotton filters were falling apart. I want to buy another pair by supporting your channel. However, the aliexpress link shows item not available…😢
Hey thanks for the support all this time! Actually you can just click through the links, and then browse around to the available GT6, I may still get the commission too!
Problem is GT6 might be discontinued already, and you might want to check the X1 2023 instead
Hi kenneth I want to ask if buds live or buds 2 is better than the other? Moreover, would you choose Moondrop space travel over those two? Thanks in advance
if youre planning to build highend desktop system pick livepro, even than a12t
Do you have any plans for making recommendations of wired headphones?
Yes actually but I haven't got the chance to do it just yet (I'm moving soon so lots of preparations have to be done)
What about Marshall?
I like the design of haylou x1 2023
Yep they're actually really nice!
Soundpeats Air 4 pro review please
Galaxy Buds Live or FIIL CC nano? it has the same price for my country
I'll personally get the FIIL CC nano
Loved the trueair2 you recommended. But sadly it broke and has connectivity issues after 2 years 😢 so I recently got the Huawei Freebuds 2. Battery life, though, top notch. Sadly, no volume control.
Thanks for sharing! I really wanted to try the half in-ears from Huawei and Oppo as well, hopefully in the near future!
Hey KT! Loving those reviews! Which is better, Soundpeats Opera 5 or Soundcore Liberty 4 NC? Which has better sound quality, mic, and latency?
Hey man! Thanks for watching them 😁 actually I regret it so much why I didn’t put the Operas on the under 100 recommendations, but yes they definitely sound better than the Liberty, latency is for sure better too (soundcores are not known for their latency) but mic and ANC is gonna go to the Liberty
And of course the operas are huge haha
By the way I’ll update the links for operas soon it would be awesome if you use it to buy the operas! Thanks 😁
@@namedkenn thanks for the heads up! I might go with the soundcore with this one even its a 1-2 against soundpeats🤣. Will use it mainly for music and calling. For gaming, a wired will do fine. Never tried ANC before and this would be my 1st pair. BTW I'm from the Philippines🇵🇭
I really appreciate your opinion!
You’re amazing please i got a question: which soundPeast is good for calling? I need a vey clear microphone
In terms of the trueair / air series, the 2, 2+, 4, and 4 lite are good at calling. The 3 isn't (though the 3 deluxe HS improves it a bit)
Disappointed a bit. I thought I was gonna replace my True Air 3 finally. But it's still on this list. 😁 😂 🤣
Haha it’s a bit hard to find new (and good) half in-ears these days, I’ll try to test those from Huawei/OPPO in the coming future though!
i still cant forget the fact that Dankpods called the galaxy buds live "the beans" XD
A question about CC Nano:
Do the custom EQ reset the DSP like in every other Fiil? 😅
Hey there yes unfortunately the custom EQ is extra hard to get right, unfortunately the Bass preset sounds really good so yeah
Which one is better, soundpeats engine 4 or Fill Nano ?
They're fundamentally different things, and you need to know which one do you want (in ear or half in ear)
Fiil cc2 nano / fiil cc nano What is the difference between them?
Do you know?
Which one would you recommend between haylou w1 and SoundPeats engine4?
Engine4 all the way through, the Space Travel is even better than Haylou W1 nowadays 😁
@@namedkenn ok
what about the nothing ear stick? i literally bought them right before this video dropped ahaha
Haha well the Nothing stick is an incredibly nice looking earbuds for sure, the way it twists to open is also very satisfying, but perhaps in terms of sound quality and features it’s rather standard (again comes down to what you need)
For example there’s no multipoint connection, also I recommend cranking the bass up in the app
What do you think about the nothing ear stick?😊
I'm gonna be honest with you, the nothing stick looks and feels really nice, the way you rotate to open and take the earbuds out is amazing, but in terms of sound quality and features, you can get so much more with these recommendations (i.e. better bass, multipoint, better codecs)
Is there any other TWS that have head tracking spatial audio just like airpods 3? (But cheaper)
Hey there, actually quite some flagship buds can do it (bose, sony) but I don't really focus on that cause it's more like a gimmick to me, even though for movies I found it to be quite interesting (I'm talking about AirPods Pro 2)
On the budget end you can find Soundcore Liberty 4 that supports it, but again I really don't recommend using it on the daily haha
thank you for the info, appreciate it@@namedkenn
hi kenneth. im a kenneth too
What about redmi buds 4 pro bang? I also using xiaomi phone
Nanti ya dicobain, hopefully next year!
Hi, Air 3 deluxe hs or air 4?
Deluxe HS for clarity and 4 for bass.
I have only tried the 3 Deluxe HS though, i used them for like 10 month, then i got the Fiil CC Nano and sold the Soundpeats 😅 the Fiil made the Soundpeats sound cheap in comparison, just sounds, looks and feels superior
Huawei Freebuds SE 2?
For me its the best
Nah ini yang dicari cari
Semoga membantu!
QCY ht10pro+ sounds like a better option than FIIO.
Moondrop Space Travel is not on the list? :O Welp, still using my Haylou W1. :D
This video is for half in-ears, the ones without eartips and don’t form a passive seal in your ear canal
And man the space travel of course makes it to my best recommendation! Haha it’s here instead th-cam.com/video/MJibnf4g_2E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1KLGE21ZBDhUoiS-
@@namedkenn ooops! My bad! Haha. Thanks! More subs to you man!
After watching a bunch of your vids, I'm going for the Apple Airpod Pros... All you reviewers are hustlers... Hope this comment helps your algorithm...
Thank you so much and I really hope you'll enjoy the AirPods Pros!
LMAO 3 of my 4 current TWS are on the list, coincidence!? 😂🤣
Hahaha goodness gracious let me guess, the one you didn't have is probably the Haylou right? 🤣
@@namedkenn d*mn right 😂🤣 I've tried the Haylou W1 once after watching your review, sound quality wise it was great sadly the build quality was cheap as f. Hence I stayed away from the Haylou(s) ever since. As for this video recommendations, I can stand for the list. Fill CC Nano is the best half in-ear TWS for its metal solid build and sound quality. Comfort wise tho, I would give it to the Soundpeats Air Series (Trueair 2 is my go-to, small case easy to clean, Air 3 for even smaller case and shorter stem). As for Air 3 Deluxe and 4, I don't think I'll be buying it because the case is a major turn-off. Galaxy Buds Live is my first half in-ear, have been with me the longest. The bean shape is nice and all but it's a hassle to adjust and take out.
Can anyone please tell me which one has better sound quality soundcore space a40 vs moondrop space travel?
The Moondrop for sure 👍🏻
@@namedkenn dear friend is there any soundcore earbud which has better sound quality than moondrop space travel? Like liberty 3 pro ?
how about Galaxy Buds Live VS Fiil cc Nano ?
My goodness this is an incredibly hard question, although if I have to pick one I'll get the FIIL instead because it just got more features going for it, really useful ones like multipoint and great mic quality makes a difference in day to day use
How about sound stage and clarity compare both of them? Which one better ?
Where is Edif*er ? W220T ? 😁
Buds2 pro sound quality is not as per liberty 4NC...l donated the Buds2 pro to a friend free of cost...
I don't like stick design.... When they say "buds" it has to be buds not a protruding stick lol
Soundpeats is great , but it just lasted me a year the right one have problem with anc and now goes lowbat in just 10 mins, so i pass the brand now
Still no headset with lc3?
Unfortunately no, the Earfun Air Pro 3 is the last one I saw to support it, and on the phone side the support is not wide as well
1. Orang indo
2. Pakek bhs inggris
3.Namanya orng jepang...
Aku capekkk 😂😅
The fact that you receive a “small commission “, makes useless your arguments.
