SONY????? WTF?!?!??!?!!
naaah bruvv samsung galaxy buds 4 pro has really nice features and sound quality. Everyone puts airpods in the list because in apple ecosystem you can have the advantage of the best options they provide. this makes other earbuds less valuable for apple and apple forces you to buy airpods because of this. i never accept this. if you are checking the earbuds stop thinking about the ecosystem and focus on the sound quality. you’ll see there is much better options then the airpods. it is just a show off as usual because of apple…. use the same brand with apple and any other android device. you gonna notice big sound quality between ecosystems. of course sound codecs and etc comes in with this. Use tidal with ultra high sound options with air pods please. and do the exact same thing equal to the airpods with any other brand. you’ll understand what i’m talking about. Apple only supports AAC and SBC sound codecs. and with the same price there are so many other options with aptX, aptX HD and LDAC. oh aac and sbc are the default with most. bruv you are just paying for the apple logo.
Momentum 5 is way better than the XM6. In the mid-range, the Oneplus Buds Pro 3 is still the most fun and impactful buds to grace the category (it doesn’t have touch screen on the case though).
Sony’s flagship has won EVERY SINGLE YEAR in both earbuds and headphones category
