Why do all these earbuds brands not provide software to fully disabled gestures on MacBook pro. These airbud 5 and the bowers and Wilkins earbuds are so annoying . Personally I like the Sony WF XM6 buds the best because they don’t keep pausing at the slightest movement . Also these apple variety always feel like they Are about to fall out any second . Where’s the only drawback of Sony is the chArging case not having a strong enough magnetic connection . Sony is better imo I own both
Great review…as always.
awesome and thorough review. Thank you!
I havenโt noticed any significant differences between the airpods 4 anc and the airpods 5 in terms of noise cancelling or sound quality.
