So over the last few years, wireless earbuds have been evolving and we’re even getting new form factors. And perhaps the most niche earbud form factor are open earbuds. These are very small earbuds that don’t actually go into your ear canals, and instead they rest on your ear cartilage and they allow you to still hear all of your surroundings…. They’re technically more like speakers that are strapped to your ears. And sony just came out with their version, the Sony Linkbuds Clip… so lets see what these are about and lets see if these are right for you.

So like I said in the initial review… Sony has been doing a great job of updating and improving a lot of their products… the Sony WH-1000XM6’s fit better than the XM5’s and they block out more noise. The Sony ULT Field 5 and ULT Filed 7 are great portable bluetooth speakers, I thin the Tower 9 is a sleeper hit that a lot of people ignore and I actually really like Sony’s TV’s cause they don’t just look great, they are very snappy as well. But with the Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds… they do have some improvements… but I still prefer the XM5 earbuds… but today we’re going to compare them to both the Bose QC Ultra earbuds 2 and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro…

If you’re looking for a pair of earbuds to workout with, then the Powerbeats Pro 2 are a super popular option. They have ear hooks so they are going to give you great lockdown, they have physical buttons which is great if you’re sweaty, and they even have built in heart rate monitors. But personally im not the biggest fan of the Powerbeats pro 2, but today we’re going to compare them to the Soundcore Aerofit 2 Pro which I feel are a great alternative to the Powerbeats pro 2, and maybe you’ll like them too.

Im going to start by saying that I think Sony has done a great job of improving their latest products. The Sony WH-1000XM6 are a good upgrade over the Sony WH-1000XM5 cause they are much sleeker and they’re amazing for flying. I really like the Sony ULT Field 5, I think the Sony Tower 9 is a great sounding box speaker that a lot of people sleep on and I really like Sony’s new TV’s and soundbars… and I was pleasantly surprised by the linkbuds clip. But when it comes to the Sony WF-1000XM6’s… I can’t get excited about these especially when their case is larger than the Sony WF-1000XM5’s.

So these are the soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro, and these are The World's First Dual-Form Earbuds which you can wear like a normal pair of earbuds and they have active noise cancellation, which is great for when you’re at work, commuting or at the gym, but you can also wear them like a pair of Open Ear earbuds so you’re going to be fully aware of your surroundings which is great if you’re on a hike, running out doors, or even if youre at work and your boss demands that your ears have to be open. These are like having 2 pairs of earbuds in your pocket at all times which is great for multiple situations at any time. Honestly, I am genuinely impressed by the form and fit of these earbuds and I think these are going to be a solid pick up for anyone that’s looking for a very secure fit, and they don’t like in ear earbuds. So lets checkout the soundcore AeroFit 2 pro.

So whether you’re an iPhone user or an android user, Apple’s AirPods are the gold standard when it comes to wireless earbuds, they have a small case, a long battery life, they sound good, they have a good mic for phone calls and they fit relatively well. And now we have the AirPods Pro 3, but personally I still prefer the AirPods 4… so today we’re going to compare these two earbuds and lets see which ones are right for you.

So apple’s AirPods are still the gold standard when it comes to earbuds, they have a lot of useful features, they sound good, they have a great performing microphone for phone calls, and they have a long battery lives while still having a very small case. And now we have the AirPods Pro 3 which have improved active noise cancelation, they now have built in heart rate monitors, they have better stamina and they even have better radios. Overall, the AirPods Pro 3 have some big upgrades over the AirPods Pro 2… but I still prefer the AirPods Pro 2 over the AirPods Pro 3.

So the AirPods Pro 3 just came out, and I do have a few things to say about them that I dont like. But regardless, Apple’s AirPods are still some of the best earbuds out there and they are the gold standard. And one of the most important things about wireless earbuds is their microphone for phone calls. So in this video we’re going to be testing the Microphone performance on the new AirPods Pro 3, and we’re going to see how it compares to the AirPods Pro 2, the AirPods 4, and also to some Bose, Sony and Soundcore Earbuds as well.

So like I said in my previous video, I think that bose has been very stagnate for the last few years. Instead of making the hardware changes that they need… they’ve just been putting out products with very minor upgrades, they throw in AI, and come out with a whole lot of new color ways and they call it a new product. Now dont get me wrong, I think the Bose Smart Soundbar is a great mid sized soundbar consider, and I really like the Bose QC Headphones cause they are super comfy, and both of Bose’s earbuds fit very well, but both the Bose QC Ultra earbuds 2 and the Bose QC Earbuds struggle to keep up with the rest of the competition.

So for the last 2 years, I feel that Bose has been very stagnate with actually innovating their products, and instead they have just been putting out minor upgrades which honestly could have been software updates, or they just add AI, and they slap a new name on them. And instead of making the hardware changes that are needed… they’ve just been putting out new color ways for all of their products. Now dont get me wrong, I think the Bose Smart Soundbar is a great mid sized sound bar for anyone to consider… I really like the Bose QC Headphones cause they are super comfy. And the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2 are super comfortable in ear earbuds, but these are still missing some very crucial hardware updates.

So these are the TOZO Open EarRing Earbuds, and they are a pair of very affordable open earbuds which are going to offer you all day comfort, they adapt their sound depending on your surroundings, and they should have no problem keeping up with you thanks to their 40 hour battery life.

So the Powerbeats pro 2 have some major upgrades to them that make them a great pair of workout earbuds. They have ear hooks so they are going to give you a super secure fit, they have a noticeably small case for a pair of earbuds with earhooks, they have a very long combined battery life, and they have active noise cancellation and they have built in heart rate monitors. However, apple is gate keeping some important features from the Powerbeats pro 2 so that they dont eat into their AirPods sales.

Nonetheless lets see what the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s are all about.

Now these are a pair of niche earbuds, they’re open earbuds so you’re always going to be able to hear your surroundings like the Bose Open Ultra or the Soundcore Aerofit 2 that we recently checked out… but Sony’s approach is very different, they look and fit like earbuds, but they have an open driver.

So these are the Bose QC earbuds, and as always, Bose’s earbuds are very comfy, they offer great lockdown, they block out a lot of noise and they sound good.
