Recommend me some Headphones

iPhone, in-ear as i’m not on the register, up to £200 or so.

Get some AirPod pro 3’s. They sound great, the best noise cancelling, the best transparency mode and the extra features (conversation mode, translation, gesture controls etc) make it a bit of a no brainer with an iPhone.

They’re £180 on Amazon atm.

Cheers, never had the Apple AirPods. Will take a look, although not a fan of the white or the bits that stick down! What are their main competitors?

I’ve also got some Bowers & Wilkins pi7 (can’t find them ffs now my Jabras are chewed up!) but they’re more my back up set as not impressed with them.

The new Sonys, they always sound great but I’ve never found a pair that really fits well. £££ as well.

The Bose qc ultra 2 are good, but pricey and the connection can be a bit unreliable.

I think the benefit of the stem design, is the amount of tech they’re having to fit in. With the stemless designs (Sony) they end up relatively chunky, with the mass sort of pulling the buds out. With the AirPods (and imaging the new Samsungs) the weight is better distributed so they stay in place.

I’ve a slight addiction, but since I’ve bought the newest AirPods I haven’t bought any others. Used to try at least 3 pairs a year.

At least with Amazon, if you don’t get on with them you can return them.

Cheers. Was literally just about to click pay on Amazon for the Apple Pros.. then received an insurance email. I have to send them off to be examined and guess they may just replace them. Assumed they would just pay out!

Sound quality, creative aurvana ace 3. All the soundpeats reviews seem to come from places that sell, or scream sponsored review.

Thanks. Yes, I has felt that (as the in-depth reviews were mostly hosted on their site!) In comes budget creep (seeing your further replies). Are these significantly better sounding then Airpod pro 3s? I'm on iphone for reference

Tbh, all of the decent stuff sounds really good now. AirPods, Sony, Samsung, Technics etc are much better than the cheaper stuff in terms of noise cancelling, features etc.

Amazon to the rescue! I think I may order both the airpods and soundpeats then send back the ones I don't get on with 😀

The technics still seem to be winning a lot of comparisons. Think only the Sonys have better NC but I think if you like your music the Technics seem to be the one to beat.

Not that it matters. Maybe beats or something? Owned by Apple but not stemmed?

Really think they look like a great fit.

They fit terribly. Just gradually work their way out.

The technics are great. But the nc isn’t as good as the AirPods. Think in testing they’re still the top. But we’re talking fractions, and which fits best will be the best.

Another reason I’d pick the technics over the Sony, is the hybrid foam tips on the Sony. They’re more hassle, have to go through the pinch and roll, then hold routine.

I’m going to keep the AirPod pros.
Both are significantly better quality than my old Jabras, but for me the AirPods had a better overall sound than the soundpeats!
So with that and the better anc/apple integration etc seemed the better choice!
it’s a shame they only come in white!!
