      I have the soundcore liberty 4, and I also really like it. Way better than the raycons I had.

    Just chiming in to say STAY AWAY from sony. My wf-1000xm4s have been plagued with issues, and even after an RMA issues with them connecting inside the case still persist. Ridiculous for the price point.

      Man that sucks I’ve been wanting a set. I have XM2 and I just missed the USB C model (and the XM5 isn’t foldable). Maybe I was lucky? Other than microphones not picking up my voice well during calls it is fantastic

        Sony just isn’t the name it used to be, unfortunately. I also bought a wireless speaker from them which loves to simply refuse to pair to my phone occasionally.

    Jabra. I currently use the Elite 8 Active, I have had to previous generation buds from them too and always loved them. Sounds great good battery life and very reliable. They have some higher models too worth looking at

      I have been a big fan of Jabra earbuds, but they’ve left that market entirely so I wouldn’t personally recommend buying them. It doesn’t bode well for long-term support. The Elite 10 I think is their last consumer true wireless set.

        Well shit, didn’t know that. That sucks because they had a good thing going.

          Seriously. They were the sweet spot for me. Still haven’t found what I would use when I need to replace them, but I may end up receiving a free pair of AirPods Pro, so I guess free-and-passable wins.

            Yeah it’s a bummer. Will probably be pixel buds for me next when the time comes. I’ll definitely be preserving my current set as long as I can though

      They’re definitely some of the best but expensive. Their ANC is incredible as is the transparency mode, it’s so good they may as well not be in my ears. They’re the only things keeping me sane at work in a shared office. I can’t hear a damned thing with them in and active. Plus the music sounds great for their size. And the battery life is god tier. They last forever.

      I’ve got the newest version AirPods Pro 2 w/USB-C and MagSafe charging.

      These are probably the best affordable ones. My wife likes her so much when they finally had crap battery life she asked for the exact same ones again.
