The Battle of the Buds: A Review of the Shars and Nothing's

In this video review, we pit two earbuds against each other to see which one comes out on top. The Shars and Nothing's are both high-end earbuds that promise to deliver exceptional sound quality, but only one can be crowned the champion.

As we begin our test, we realize that the Shars have some issues with leakage. "This is maximum volume," our reviewer notes, as the earbuds emit a loud, piercing sound that's audible even when turned down. However, after adjusting the EQ settings, we're able to get a better sound out of them.

The Nothing's, on the other hand, seem to have no issues with leakage. "This is where it goes," our reviewer says, as they adjust the earbuds to fit snugly in their ears. The Shars' larger size does make them more prone to leakage, but this can be mitigated with proper use.

When it comes to sound quality, both earbuds deliver excellent results. However, the Nothing's seem to have a slight edge when it comes to bass response. "This sounds the best," our reviewer says, as they listen to Big Rich's remix of 'One Last Time'. The Shars' more balanced sound may be better suited for those who prefer a cleaner, more neutral tone.

However, after conducting thorough testing and comparing the two earbuds side by side, our reviewer concludes that the Pixel Buds are still their top choice. "Number one on my list I would go with the pixel buds if I had to walk out the door right now and take one of these sets of earbuds with me," they say.

The Sisiers, a German-made earbud brand, come in second place. Their sound quality is excellent, but it's not quite as good as the Pixel Buds'. "If you like clean sound, the sisers sound a little bit better," our reviewer notes. The Sound Cores and JBL Cambridge earbuds round out the top five.

For those who prefer non-tip earbuds, the AirPods are still a great option. However, they come in at number six on our list due to their relatively higher price point. "If you like non-tip earbuds go with the airpods over the Marshalls," our reviewer says.

The Future of Audio

As our reviewer prepares to embark on vacation, they're excited to share more in-depth reviews and comparisons with their audience. "I plan on doing one more since I'm already down here," they say. The video will feature a similar format to this review, but with headphones instead of earbuds.

Stay tuned for the upcoming video, where our reviewer will put various headphones through their paces and crown the champion of sound quality.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyo what's up everybody it's your boy floss back again with another video and today we got another episode of Battle of the buds now I'm going to show y'all six different sets of earbuds that range between 130 and 230 bucks now we're going to do this all in one video so that means I'm not going to give youall an in-depth review we're just going to test them out see how they sound and then we're going to rank them all right so let's get started first let's do a little recap what is my favorite earbuds right now number one on my list the bows and Wilkins pi8 now I got to tell you a quick story about these These are easily the best airbuds that I own number two on my list I'm going with the senis of momentum fours you can't go wrong with these and number three the b& ex kind of old but still at top of the food chain now when I travel I like to bring two sets of earbuds just in case the battery dies so I was on a flight the other day my flight got delayed so I'm in the air for like four or five hours I had already been rocking these in the airport for about an hour before that and the battery died so when the battery died mid-flight I switched over to the senis of momentum fours as soon as I switched over I was like hold on a second I had to pull out my phone I'm going to the EQ settings I'm like what's going on like the sound quality dropped let me tell you something the sound quality is so different between the bows and Wilkins and the sennheisers and these These are incredible but the Bowers and Wiens are just that much better ladies and gentlemen l but still great white shoes is back in the building White Shoes calm down like I was saying okay so that kind of blew me away now I did a test in the house and when remember when I did this video I told y that they sounded better than the sisers but testing them out in the real world is when I discovered how much better they sound so when I got to the hotel I I said I went to my girl and I said look let me do a blun a blind test on you I want you to tell me which one sound better cuz I was kind of Blown Away now she don't care about name brands and all that she going to give me you know give me the truth so I let her hear the sennheisers first and then the B uh the Bowers and wikins right after that she thought these was the cheap Amazon ones she was like oh these must be cheap ones and these must be expensive these is 400 bucks these are 300 bucks that's how good these are they made these sound like cheap airbuds to somebody who doesn't listen to a th sets of earbuds these was just that much better so these are number one on my list if you're looking for the top of the line top of the food chain you're going to have to pay to play with these but they're going to be worth every penny next best earbuds for talking on the phone that's an easy decision for me I got to go with the airpods i the NC's if you don't like the uh tips on your ears go with the airpod 4S but the airpod pros both sets of airpods the best by far the best for talking on the phone if I got to have a long conversation I'm only going to either one of these next best airbuds for the gym number one on my list the senis of Momentum Sports you see the wings these will not move number two I'm going to go with the beat fit Pro and number three the Sony link buds fit now actually I think I like the link buds fits a little bit better than the uh beachfit Pro so I'm going to put these number two beastfit pro but what do all three of these have in common if you look mostely they all got the wings so I can be sweaty like crazy on the decline bench and these will not come out of my ears that's what you need for working out you need wings okay and lastly best open back earbuds okay open style earbuds I'm going to go with the shocks the shocks open fits these are insane but I do have the nothings so we'll do a little test with the nothings and then we'll rerank these at the end of this video all right so let's start off from the most expensive to the least expensive and like I said this is not going to be an in-depth review we're just going to try them out and on another side note if yall like this format of videos let me know because I got a lot of products and sometimes I don't get around to reviewing them and then I just forget about them so like the cises I had these for like two months I had the Cambridge for like two months had the jbls for about a month the um the Marshalls had these for like I don't know maybe a year and I had the pixel buds for a couple of weeks just got these today all right so we're going to do these all in one one video so first up we got the sound cord Liberty Liberty 4 Pro now these are going to run you 130 bucks high resed audio active noise cancellation 10 hours battery life seven noise cancelling mics go to the website read the specs for yourself like I said we're going to do this quick all right so we got the Westside Story right here let's go ahead and uh did I even do anything let's see hold up okay hold up okay it's on the side anger levels increasing all right okay here it is frustration building all open just like that all right so these are the Liberty fours now I've been hearing a lot of good things about these let's see what you get in the Box get your usual books and plug them and follow them different size air tips again this is not going to be an in-depth review all right so these are the let's see okay the case slides up like this oh now now look at this digital case oh I didn't even know about that okay high voice alert digital case okay let's see can we do volumes all let me get a here these up and then we'll play with them all right check this out now this case is actually functional you see I'm doing an update right now and it says upgrading all right so in the meantime while I'm doing this update one more category I forgot to tell yall about was budget airbuds the best budget earbuds that I used in a while are the tozo nc9 now I did a full review on these you'll probably see the full video before I do this video 30 bucks okay these are the best $30 earbuds that I heard yet all right so I got everything paired up and one thing I just noticed now this case does have the little display which is kind of cool but you can't control the stuff from the case it just shows you what you're doing so it's not like the JBL case that you could actually you know control things from the case but if I switch my transparency level you see it move on the actual case now I will say this the Ambient sound mode sounds good I'm in Ambient sound mode Let's go to minimum Ambient sound okay this is home Ambient sound okay now that's maximum noise cancellation you can definitely hear the difference we got wind reduction noise let's see here's all your app pre uh your EQ presets and of course I got a custom EQ set ready to go let's um hold up all right when we play some music you'll see my custom EQ all right so we'll exit out of that we'll start off with the default sound C signature all right so let's take it over to and again I'm just going to make this quick

God that's too loud that's too loud all right hold up that's too loud now I don't I've been on YouTube i' on YouTube for a lot of years I don't think y'all ever heard me say that's too loud I don't think y'all heard me say that before wow wow you know some I gota look at the hold I gota look at the ingredients of this hold up what is this bro okay now I I got I got my little score score card right here hold up let me get a little pen so far the Sound Cores okay I got a pen right here sound core I'm ranking these a 10 we're going to use actual numbers I am ranking these a 10 now keep in mind this is just sound quality now at the end of this video if y'all want to know more about these products let me know in the comments and I'll let you know how to active noise cancellation and everything else works I don't have time to test all that right now right now we're just going to test the IAL sound the volume on these is almost too goddamn loud the base is hitting sound core sound core did it again and these are 130 bucks these are 130 bucks these are insane all totally insane all right so next up we got the Sennheiser entum now these are also 130 bucks you got Qualcomm aptx okay bluo 5.3 Le audio support wireless charging orac cast Okay so these seem like they have a little bit more features let me grab up what we got today we got the uh John Wick special right let's see what these look like now y'all know sen be doing it big also okay again I'm not going to go through all of the the uh minutia of unboxing everything we're just going to check big words alert we're just going to check these out okay so these are the entum 130 bucks classic Sennheiser presentation okay now look a little bit weird compared to uh standard siser offerings yall see those all right so let's get and pair these up all right now with the senis of momentums one thing I noticed immediately is the transparency mode sounds way better than the Liberties okay now this is going to be your classic siser app so you do got your EQ settings which we'll play within a minute all right so let's take it back to YouTube music now I'm going to rock the same songs this time matter of fact oh should I let's try Chief Keef a little Chief Keef and I promise yall I'm not going to sing cuz I actually want to hear these I'm sorry when I say I'm not going to sing I'll be trying not to sing but sometime the music be taking over me all right let's let's get max volume oh my God the Bas is rumbling on these now let me see something real quick I'm going to turn off transparency the base is rumbling it sounds oh the the base is clean super clean I'm GNA wait okay now y'all know if yall know um it's the Talking part of the song but the base in the background just got hold on let me check the nipples is like this right now oh look okay okay now the song get ready to start here so this is my favorite part of the song before it starts you know what I'm saying hey okay hold on let me sh you better back up cuz it's Bas about to drop love Soul oh and the no with the old boys you going get sled over hold up now this sounds crazy let's try um ooh oo oo okay let's see the love so and they love the GL Bo okay bro hold on let me see maybe a little more let's seeoo now this is a lot of Base this is actually a lot of basic this is actually a lot of basic okay all right let me let me let me pause hold up let me hold on let me see one more thing now let's take it over to Big R time one more time just I just I can hear the difference now definitely The Sound Cores are louder in terms of pure volume but the sisers are actually cleaner like a balanced sound and the base is deeper it's deeper giggity I just have come up hard all let me let me listen let me listen baby I never yeah the the the the Liberties are definitely louder and more vibrant but these sound cleaner if you know what I mean hold up let's say pause if you know what I mean these actually sound a little bit cleaner and the Basse the bass is definitely cleaner now that's a funny word to use when you describing music but the Sound Cores all right the Sound Cores if you want just maximum over the top volume the sound is crazy but I think if I had to pick one of the two personally I think I would go with the S cuz I like my music a little bit cleaner like the base it just has that Rumble to it like a a clean Rumble but it's awesome it sounds great now these are these are also 130 bucks you can't go wrong with these let's keep it moving all right so next up we got the Cambridge m100s now this was a special request video somebody asked me to review these a couple of months ago and I got them and I just forgot all about them so we're going to get into them today the Cambridge m100s let's go ahead and uh let's see get these open real quick okay Cambridge m100s now Cambridge does make quality headphones and earbuds haven't reviewed any in a while but the last ones I had I actually love these these was actually 170 bucks so these cost a little bit more than the sisers and the sound Cor let's see how these look okay now these have a nice I like the discreet look okay that's how they going to look let's go them and peir them up all right so I just paired these up downloaded the app set everything up I will say this now right away I will tell yall the transparency mode is okay the transparency mode was definitely the best so far in the sises we got a few EQ presets gaming mode standard stuff all right so this time we got the remix of Big Rich toown Let's get a hit play Let's get maximum volume okay I just come from the PO part let's get a tra light City Life I gotta make it okay now these sound good all right these sound good come up all okay let's see the straight path let's see let's see talk New Yorker oh okay oh okay there it is let me get a little more M why not just get along okay now these sound really good Keys just a ke just the rest let's see oh let's do noise cancelling okay now these sound good hold up they say this is a Big Rich Town I just come from the bo SP bright light City Life I got to make and this is where it goes down okay okay let's see let's see boys let's boys okay I would say now these actually sound really good but so far I would say I like the senis is the best okay for overall sound quality then after that I'd probably go with the sound CS because I want that maximum volume and just the maximum everything these sound really good but for 170 nah these should be the same price as the Sound Cores and the sises like these shouldn't be extra 50 bucks and they actually don't sound as good as either one of those but they sound great don't get me wrong they sound great I would gladly pay 100 bucks for these okay gladly let's keep it moving all right so next up we got the JB tour pro 3 now these are going to run you 180 bucks 44 total hours battery life 11 hours on a single charge plus 33 using the case 360 spal audio this actually has the fully functional case let me grab a little unboxing knife well we got got the John Wick still one more now one quick side note somebody was like oh why why you acting like a little girl with that Band-Aid on in my last video look what happened y'all remember when I did the MKBHD sneakers and I showed yall that ax handle that amay got me that little axe axe knife I put it in my bag and the piece came off so I went to reaching my bag and the Slit the whole side of my thumb open okay so I wasn't being dramatic I really had an incident I don't know why I told y'all that but it is what it is okay so let's see what you get inside okay now I'm expecting these are going to be the truth let's see now this is a nice little presentation right here okay you see got your separate air separate size air tips of course you got your usual books and and all your cables let's just make sure yeah th thick little Panet in here okay let's see how these look classic JBL tour pro presentation now these actually have the stems but not too stemy but you do have some stems this how they going to look okay so let's go ahead and let's see if these got any juice because like I said these been sitting around in my house for a good couple of minutes let's see all right so let's get him plug these in all right so I got to do a quick update on these so in the meantime let's recap the scores so far for the Sound Cores I gave those a 10 the sennheisers I gave those a 10 the m100s I gave them an eight so we're going to do the jbl's the Marshalls and the pixelbuds all right so we got this one all set up now with the jbl's you actually have a fully functional case that you can control a lot of stuff from you get your notifications you can answer and phone calls you got to find my buds you can play and pause your music raise a lower the volume you can turn on active noise cancellation in transparency mode I mean this is a real case right here you can even put your own wallpaper now I'm using transparency mode right now and it sounds really good okay the transparency mode I can hear White Shoes purring crystal clear crystal clear here my nails on the table all right so now we're going to do noise cancellation it does have voice pump now this is real noise cancellation okay this is real noise cancellation it got super quiet I can't even hear shoes anymore I don't hear nothing all right so um as far as the EQ settings on this one let's see what we got here now we got Studio base Club extreme Bas vocal jazzz and my EQ so we got all of these ones I'm going to start off with Studio okay so let's take it over to the music let's go to YouTube music all we got to go back to uh Big Rich Town because I want to keep hearing the same songs over and over so I can hear the difference all right so we'll take it over to Big Rich Town okay let's get maximum volume shoes already know I'm getting ready to sing she like let me get up out of here okay let's let's hear it bright City I got a make okay now I'm waiting for that Basse drop I just happen to come up hard okay here it goes jbl2 pro3 woo okay now the volume of these is super loud nice and clear let's go to let's see okay that's more Bas oh Club sounds really good oo these have a lot of clarity okay extreme vocals nice now yeah this is the one right here initation they say this is a big Rich to okay I just come from the PO okay let me go back to the POR for a minute let me see one more thing okay we'll do um blue laces now I got to be honest the sound C to me I think the sound I might like the sound called better let's goo okay wait a minute wait a minute oh oh oh my God okay okay now the jbl's they have a they have a different kind of it's kind of hard to explain the Sound Cores Again The Sound Cores are just super loud and just just over the top the sennheisers was more clean I think I think I like the sennheisers than knes okay you know and don't get me wrong nothing wrong with the jbl's I'd probably rank these a nine okay I'd probably rank these a nine just on sound quality alone me put them back in one more time okay let's try let's try one more song Let's do um let's see let's let's see what else we got on Deck real quick okay we got a little Jay-Z and be okay yeah now yeah okay here pause yeah I mean honestly they sound louder than the sisers but the sen hais have more of a rumble with the base okay so I would say in terms of volume sound cord number one these will be number two then the sises but these also have the the case that you could plug into your airplane all right so if you take these on the flight you can plug the case into the airplane so I got to make sure I take take these wires even though you could do do that with the bows and wilens too all right so the jbls let's get to rank the jbls I rank the jbl's a nine okay so I'm going to give the JBL a nine let's keep it moving all right so next up we got the Marshall minor 3 now these are actually 200 bucks okay now this was a special request video I was supposed to do for somebody a couple of months ago and um never got around to it these been sitting on my counter down here for collecting dust for the late for the longest but um today we're going to open them up and see if they have any uh juice let's let's get to plug these in real quick pretty sure the battery's dead but we'll let them ride for a second in the meantime got your usual books and yeah that's pretty much it now let's see how these actually look now these are oh okay wait a minute these are no uh no no uh no tips so these I'm going to have to compare these with the airpods I will compare with the airpods all right so let me goad and power these up all right so I had the Marshall sitting down here for maybe half a year so these was completely dead so I'm going to let these charge up so in the meantime let's take it over to the Google pixel buds Pro two now these are going to run you 230 bucks these are the most expensive ones that you're going to see in this video okay so let's go and check these out okay pixelbuds Pro 2 same egg sh egg style case okay now I went with the white color right here let's see what else you get small medium and large ear tips okay medium already installed let's go and set these up now these should be fully charged I just got these in the mail a couple of days ago all right so I got the pixel buds Pro to paired up and right out of the gate the transparency mode is insane I'm going to say it's right up there with apple it's very natural totally better than everything else that I tried out so far now let's see as far as the app we got noise cancellation let's go to hit that okay now oh yeah you you can tell this is going to be real noise cancellation let's go back to transparency mode okay and let's go to sound okay so we got some different eqs okay so we got trouble mid base low we'll play with that in a minute volume balance okay mono audio okay so basic settings basic settings spatial audio you got head track okay everything looks good all right so let's take it into some music let's go over to YouTube music I got Big Rich down queued up now here's what I want to do let's go to I'm going to turn on noise cancellation okay that Ambient sound mode is dope okay let's try this now some music okay now the clarity is there definitely not as overpoweringly loud as the sound GES this is where it goes down okay hold up I'm gonna wait for that bass drop come up hard legal Lord legal baby y oo okay now these definitely have the best noise cancellation cuz I feel like I can't even hear my own voice let me let me take it to the EQ for a second P that watch your glow all right let's see okay now that's heavy base but it's not too crazy let's see balance let's see under the cover let's do it like oo they say this is a big Rich T okay these sound great I just come from the bo okay is dope I is dope we got a make this is where it goes down all right let's try one different song Let's do um let's see what we got let's see uh Travis got antidote okay now I will say this these definitely have the best noise cancellation out of anything I tried yet don't you let out that in oo okay now these are super clean okay here let me pause let meit pause okay I'm ready to rank these right now okay now these are super clean all right the the highs the mids super clean the transparency mode and active noise cancellation again I got on this fan back here I can tell the difference and you can just hear the difference with your voice like when you're talking with these on you can barely hear your own voice so these are going to be top 10 noise cancellation I'm going to rank these a 10 now y know I don't really like rankings scale of 1 to 10 but I'm going to give these a 10 I'm going to give these a 10 so far I think these would be I think so far these would be my favorite from this video These then I'm going to go with the if I'm going outside probably the sound course but the kind the way I listen to my music it would be between these and the sisers that would be my choice but so far out of all of them you can't go wrong you can't go wrong now I want to try one more thing all right so I just did a side by side with the mar minor 3s and the airpod 4S and believe it or not the airpods actually sound better and have noise cancellation and cost cheaper so would I buy these for 200 bucks no okay I would buy these if they was about a buck 30 a buck 20 but 200 bucks that's a big pass okay definitely not airpods sound better if you're looking for earbuds that don't have the silicone tips go with the airpods unless you got an Android phone that's another story but I would go with the airpods you get noise cancellation and they sound better all right so last up we got the nothing open air now these are going to run you 150 bucks let's go and check these out now I want to see if these will be able to sound better than my favorite shocks okay now I do like how nothing be doing their presentation real nice hold up okay check this out yeah now nothing knows how to do it I would love to see some nothing over the a style headphones with this design okay look at that okay open back Style just like the shocks okay you see the shocks open back style this is what I mean no earbud that goes in your ear all right so let's pair these up and do a little sound test all right so I got the nothing's paired up this is how the app looks now you do have some different controls double pinch triple pinch pinch and hold and you got EQ so we got balance more base more trouble voice and custom let's see all right so let's do we'll start off with balanced and we'll do a little sound test all right so we got Big Rich sound remix one last time now you're going to hear a lot of leakage with this this is maximum volume y'all hear it I got a m this is where it goes okay okay now let's see let's play with the EQ real quick Leal Lord Leal let's do more Bas okay you actually get more base all right let's do voice now voice is trash more trouble is good so far I like more Bas let's do custom let's see believe it or not this sounds the best like this okay now I don't know if y'all can hear my head right next to the mic okay these actually sound good now let me let's H pause for a second matter of fact take these off I don't know if you can hear this now I want to do a quick side by side with the shars all right so I got the nothing's paired up this is how the app looks now you do have some different controls double pinch triple pinch pinch and hold and you got an EQ so we got balance more base more trouble voice and custom let's see all right so let's do we'll start off with balanced and we'll do a little sound test all right so we got Big Rich s remix one last time now you're going to hear a lot of leakage with this this is maximum volume y'all hear it I got a m this is where it goes okay okay now let's see let's play with the EQ real quick Le of Lord leer let's do more Bas okay you actually get more base all right let's do voice now voice is trash more trouble is good so far I like more base let's do custom let's see believe it or not this sounds the best like this okay now I don't know if y' can hear put my head right next to the mic okay this actually sound good now let me let's H pause for a second matter of fact take these off I don't know if you can hear this now I want to do a quick side by side with the shocks all right so I just did some thorough testing and both of these sound great but when it comes to Bas I haven't seen any open back style earbuds like this that have more bass than the shars these are still my absolute favorites the nothings these will be number two right up there in the top but these are a little bit better all right so let's rank these headphones now out of all the ones that I reviewed I would say number one on my list I would go with the pixel buds if I had to walk out the door right now and take one of these sets of earbuds with me I would take the pixelbuds okay these have the cleanest sound the Ambient sound mode noise cancellation these will be my favorites from this video number two I'm going to go with the sisers okay the senheiser sound quality now look it's not just about volume when it comes to volume and just extra extra extra yeah the sound CES they ain't no joke but if you like clean sound the sises sound a little bit better so I'm going to go with the pixel buds then I'm going to go with the sisers then the Sound Cores then after that I'm going to go JBL Cambridge and when it comes to the non tip style like I said go with the airpods all right if you like non tip earbuds go with the airpods over the Marshalls I ain't really feeling these too much they all right but not for 200 bucks anyway this is Battle of the buds hit me up in the comments and let me know if there's anything specific y'all want

be very useful take care of yourself and each otheryo what's up everybody it's your boy floss back again with another video and today we got another episode of Battle of the buds now I'm going to show y'all six different sets of earbuds that range between 130 and 230 bucks now we're going to do this all in one video so that means I'm not going to give youall an in-depth review we're just going to test them out see how they sound and then we're going to rank them all right so let's get started first let's do a little recap what is my favorite earbuds right now number one on my list the bows and Wilkins pi8 now I got to tell you a quick story about these These are easily the best airbuds that I own number two on my list I'm going with the senis of momentum fours you can't go wrong with these and number three the b& ex kind of old but still at top of the food chain now when I travel I like to bring two sets of earbuds just in case the battery dies so I was on a flight the other day my flight got delayed so I'm in the air for like four or five hours I had already been rocking these in the airport for about an hour before that and the battery died so when the battery died mid-flight I switched over to the senis of momentum fours as soon as I switched over I was like hold on a second I had to pull out my phone I'm going to the EQ settings I'm like what's going on like the sound quality dropped let me tell you something the sound quality is so different between the bows and Wilkins and the sennheisers and these These are incredible but the Bowers and Wiens are just that much better ladies and gentlemen l but still great white shoes is back in the building White Shoes calm down like I was saying okay so that kind of blew me away now I did a test in the house and when remember when I did this video I told y that they sounded better than the sisers but testing them out in the real world is when I discovered how much better they sound so when I got to the hotel I I said I went to my girl and I said look let me do a blun a blind test on you I want you to tell me which one sound better cuz I was kind of Blown Away now she don't care about name brands and all that she going to give me you know give me the truth so I let her hear the sennheisers first and then the B uh the Bowers and wikins right after that she thought these was the cheap Amazon ones she was like oh these must be cheap ones and these must be expensive these is 400 bucks these are 300 bucks that's how good these are they made these sound like cheap airbuds to somebody who doesn't listen to a th sets of earbuds these was just that much better so these are number one on my list if you're looking for the top of the line top of the food chain you're going to have to pay to play with these but they're going to be worth every penny next best earbuds for talking on the phone that's an easy decision for me I got to go with the airpods i the NC's if you don't like the uh tips on your ears go with the airpod 4S but the airpod pros both sets of airpods the best by far the best for talking on the phone if I got to have a long conversation I'm only going to either one of these next best airbuds for the gym number one on my list the senis of Momentum Sports you see the wings these will not move number two I'm going to go with the beat fit Pro and number three the Sony link buds fit now actually I think I like the link buds fits a little bit better than the uh beachfit Pro so I'm going to put these number two beastfit pro but what do all three of these have in common if you look mostely they all got the wings so I can be sweaty like crazy on the decline bench and these will not come out of my ears that's what you need for working out you need wings okay and lastly best open back earbuds okay open style earbuds I'm going to go with the shocks the shocks open fits these are insane but I do have the nothings so we'll do a little test with the nothings and then we'll rerank these at the end of this video all right so let's start off from the most expensive to the least expensive and like I said this is not going to be an in-depth review we're just going to try them out and on another side note if yall like this format of videos let me know because I got a lot of products and sometimes I don't get around to reviewing them and then I just forget about them so like the cises I had these for like two months I had the Cambridge for like two months had the jbls for about a month the um the Marshalls had these for like I don't know maybe a year and I had the pixel buds for a couple of weeks just got these today all right so we're going to do these all in one one video so first up we got the sound cord Liberty Liberty 4 Pro now these are going to run you 130 bucks high resed audio active noise cancellation 10 hours battery life seven noise cancelling mics go to the website read the specs for yourself like I said we're going to do this quick all right so we got the Westside Story right here let's go ahead and uh did I even do anything let's see hold up okay hold up okay it's on the side anger levels increasing all right okay here it is frustration building all open just like that all right so these are the Liberty fours now I've been hearing a lot of good things about these let's see what you get in the Box get your usual books and plug them and follow them different size air tips again this is not going to be an in-depth review all right so these are the let's see okay the case slides up like this oh now now look at this digital case oh I didn't even know about that okay high voice alert digital case okay let's see can we do volumes all let me get a here these up and then we'll play with them all right check this out now this case is actually functional you see I'm doing an update right now and it says upgrading all right so in the meantime while I'm doing this update one more category I forgot to tell yall about was budget airbuds the best budget earbuds that I used in a while are the tozo nc9 now I did a full review on these you'll probably see the full video before I do this video 30 bucks okay these are the best $30 earbuds that I heard yet all right so I got everything paired up and one thing I just noticed now this case does have the little display which is kind of cool but you can't control the stuff from the case it just shows you what you're doing so it's not like the JBL case that you could actually you know control things from the case but if I switch my transparency level you see it move on the actual case now I will say this the Ambient sound mode sounds good I'm in Ambient sound mode Let's go to minimum Ambient sound okay this is home Ambient sound okay now that's maximum noise cancellation you can definitely hear the difference we got wind reduction noise let's see here's all your app pre uh your EQ presets and of course I got a custom EQ set ready to go let's um hold up all right when we play some music you'll see my custom EQ all right so we'll exit out of that we'll start off with the default sound C signature all right so let's take it over to and again I'm just going to make this quick cuz we got a bunch of different headphones to try out all right so let's take it over to YouTube music now we're going to go to let's do some uh 50 Cent Big Rich tail okay here we go let's get maximum volume okay I just come from the PO part bright light City Life I got to make it this is where it goes down all right hold up I just happen to come up hard wait for legal legal baby I never took a

shits might be too loud this might be too loud hold up let me put this back in real quick hold up bro bro wow now I'm gonna have to I'm have to I'm G have to downline that EQ a little bit let's go hold up I just come from okay let's see yeah yeah okay nah hold up nah I wonder why my last one didn't save okay this one is crazy bro hold up all right these take when you when you take them out they automatically boys bro now I got a little paper right here and I'm going to be keeping score so far bro so far the sound course let me do one more test let's do um we'll do nipy hustle blue laces one more now let me just let just here oh baby it's been so hold up hold up I'm sorry y'all I'm sorry bro oh my God bro oh are you kidding me the volume on these let's get it f let they know that oh my God that's too loud that's too loud all right hold up that's too loud now I don't I've been on YouTube i' on YouTube for a lot of years I don't think y'all ever heard me say that's too loud I don't think y'all heard me say that before wow wow you know some I gota look at the hold I gota look at the ingredients of this hold up what is this bro okay now I I got I got my little score score card right here hold up let me get a little pen so far the Sound Cores okay I got a pen right here sound core I'm ranking these a 10 we're going to use actual numbers I am ranking these a 10 now keep in mind this is just sound quality now at the end of this video if y'all want to know more about these products let me know in the comments and I'll let you know how to active noise cancellation and everything else works I don't have time to test all that right now right now we're just going to test the IAL sound the volume on these is almost too goddamn loud the base is hitting sound core sound core did it again and these are 130 bucks these are 130 bucks these are insane all totally insane all right so next up we got the Sennheiser entum now these are also 130 bucks you got Qualcomm aptx okay bluo 5.3 Le audio support wireless charging orac cast Okay so these seem like they have a little bit more features let me grab up what we got today we got the uh John Wick special right let's see what these look like now y'all know sen be doing it big also okay again I'm not going to go through all of the the uh minutia of unboxing everything we're just going to check big words alert we're just going to check these out okay so these are the entum 130 bucks classic Sennheiser presentation okay now look a little bit weird compared to uh standard siser offerings yall see those all right so let's get and pair these up all right now with the senis of momentums one thing I noticed immediately is the transparency mode sounds way better than the Liberties okay now this is going to be your classic siser app so you do got your EQ settings which we'll play within a minute all right so let's take it back to YouTube music now I'm going to rock the same songs this time matter of fact oh should I let's try Chief Keef a little Chief Keef and I promise yall I'm not going to sing cuz I actually want to hear these I'm sorry when I say I'm not going to sing I'll be trying not to sing but sometime the music be taking over me all right let's let's get max volume oh my God the Bas is rumbling on these now let me see something real quick I'm going to turn off transparency the base is rumbling it sounds oh the the base is clean super clean I'm GNA wait okay now y'all know if yall know um it's the Talking part of the song but the base in the background just got hold on let me check the nipples is like this right now oh look okay okay now the song get ready to start here so this is my favorite part of the song before it starts you know what I'm saying hey okay hold on let me sh you better back up cuz it's Bas about to drop love Soul oh and the no with the old boys you going get sled over hold up now this sounds crazy let's try um ooh oo oo okay let's see the love so and they love the GL Bo okay bro hold on let me see maybe a little more let's seeoo now this is a lot of Base this is actually a lot of basic this is actually a lot of basic okay all right let me let me let me pause hold up let me hold on let me see one more thing now let's take it over to Big R time one more time just I just I can hear the difference now definitely The Sound Cores are louder in terms of pure volume but the sisers are actually cleaner like a balanced sound and the base is deeper it's deeper giggity I just have come up hard all let me let me listen let me listen baby I never yeah the the the the Liberties are definitely louder and more vibrant but these sound cleaner if you know what I mean hold up let's say pause if you know what I mean these actually sound a little bit cleaner and the Basse the bass is definitely cleaner now that's a funny word to use when you describing music but the Sound Cores all right the Sound Cores if you want just maximum over the top volume the sound is crazy but I think if I had to pick one of the two personally I think I would go with the S cuz I like my music a little bit cleaner like the base it just has that Rumble to it like a a clean Rumble but it's awesome it sounds great now these are these are also 130 bucks you can't go wrong with these let's keep it moving all right so next up we got the Cambridge m100s now this was a special request video somebody asked me to review these a couple of months ago and I got them and I just forgot all about them so we're going to get into them today the Cambridge m100s let's go ahead and uh let's see get these open real quick okay Cambridge m100s now Cambridge does make quality headphones and earbuds haven't reviewed any in a while but the last ones I had I actually love these these was actually 170 bucks so these cost a little bit more than the sisers and the sound Cor let's see how these look okay now these have a nice I like the discreet look okay that's how they going to look let's go them and peir them up all right so I just paired these up downloaded the app set everything up I will say this now right away I will tell yall the transparency mode is okay the transparency mode was definitely the best so far in the sises we got a few EQ presets gaming mode standard stuff all right so this time we got the remix of Big Rich toown Let's get a hit play Let's get maximum volume okay I just come from the PO part let's get a tra light City Life I gotta make it okay now these sound good all right these sound good come up all okay let's see the straight path let's see let's see talk New Yorker oh okay oh okay there it is let me get a little more M why not just get along okay now these sound really good Keys just a ke just the rest let's see oh let's do noise cancelling okay now these sound good hold up they say this is a Big Rich Town I just come from the bo SP bright light City Life I got to make and this is where it goes down okay okay let's see let's see boys let's boys okay I would say now these actually sound really good but so far I would say I like the senis is the best okay for overall sound quality then after that I'd probably go with the sound CS because I want that maximum volume and just the maximum everything these sound really good but for 170 nah these should be the same price as the Sound Cores and the sises like these shouldn't be extra 50 bucks and they actually don't sound as good as either one of those but they sound great don't get me wrong they sound great I would gladly pay 100 bucks for these okay gladly let's keep it moving all right so next up we got the JB tour pro 3 now these are going to run you 180 bucks 44 total hours battery life 11 hours on a single charge plus 33 using the case 360 spal audio this actually has the fully functional case let me grab a little unboxing knife well we got got the John Wick still one more now one quick side note somebody was like oh why why you acting like a little girl with that Band-Aid on in my last video look what happened y'all remember when I did the MKBHD sneakers and I showed yall that ax handle that amay got me that little axe axe knife I put it in my bag and the piece came off so I went to reaching my bag and the Slit the whole side of my thumb open okay so I wasn't being dramatic I really had an incident I don't know why I told y'all that but it is what it is okay so let's see what you get inside okay now I'm expecting these are going to be the truth let's see now this is a nice little presentation right here okay you see got your separate air separate size air tips of course you got your usual books and and all your cables let's just make sure yeah th thick little Panet in here okay let's see how these look classic JBL tour pro presentation now these actually have the stems but not too stemy but you do have some stems this how they going to look okay so let's go ahead and let's see if these got any juice because like I said these been sitting around in my house for a good couple of minutes let's see all right so let's get him plug these in all right so I got to do a quick update on these so in the meantime let's recap the scores so far for the Sound Cores I gave those a 10 the sennheisers I gave those a 10 the m100s I gave them an eight so we're going to do the jbl's the Marshalls and the pixelbuds all right so we got this one all set up now with the jbl's you actually have a fully functional case that you can control a lot of stuff from you get your notifications you can answer and phone calls you got to find my buds you can play and pause your music raise a lower the volume you can turn on active noise cancellation in transparency mode I mean this is a real case right here you can even put your own wallpaper now I'm using transparency mode right now and it sounds really good okay the transparency mode I can hear White Shoes purring crystal clear crystal clear here my nails on the table all right so now we're going to do noise cancellation it does have voice pump now this is real noise cancellation okay this is real noise cancellation it got super quiet I can't even hear shoes anymore I don't hear nothing all right so um as far as the EQ settings on this one let's see what we got here now we got Studio base Club extreme Bas vocal jazzz and my EQ so we got all of these ones I'm going to start off with Studio okay so let's take it over to the music let's go to YouTube music all we got to go back to uh Big Rich Town because I want to keep hearing the same songs over and over so I can hear the difference all right so we'll take it over to Big Rich Town okay let's get maximum volume shoes already know I'm getting ready to sing she like let me get up out of here okay let's let's hear it bright City I got a make okay now I'm waiting for that Basse drop I just happen to come up hard okay here it goes jbl2 pro3 woo okay now the volume of these is super loud nice and clear let's go to let's see okay that's more Bas oh Club sounds really good oo these have a lot of clarity okay extreme vocals nice now yeah this is the one right here initation they say this is a big Rich to okay I just come from the PO okay let me go back to the POR for a minute let me see one more thing okay we'll do um blue laces now I got to be honest the sound C to me I think the sound I might like the sound called better let's goo okay wait a minute wait a minute oh oh oh my God okay okay now the jbl's they have a they have a different kind of it's kind of hard to explain the Sound Cores Again The Sound Cores are just super loud and just just over the top the sennheisers was more clean I think I think I like the sennheisers than knes okay you know and don't get me wrong nothing wrong with the jbl's I'd probably rank these a nine okay I'd probably rank these a nine just on sound quality alone me put them back in one more time okay let's try let's try one more song Let's do um let's see let's let's see what else we got on Deck real quick okay we got a little Jay-Z and be okay yeah now yeah okay here pause yeah I mean honestly they sound louder than the sisers but the sen hais have more of a rumble with the base okay so I would say in terms of volume sound cord number one these will be number two then the sises but these also have the the case that you could plug into your airplane all right so if you take these on the flight you can plug the case into the airplane so I got to make sure I take take these wires even though you could do do that with the bows and wilens too all right so the jbls let's get to rank the jbls I rank the jbl's a nine okay so I'm going to give the JBL a nine let's keep it moving all right so next up we got the Marshall minor 3 now these are actually 200 bucks okay now this was a special request video I was supposed to do for somebody a couple of months ago and um never got around to it these been sitting on my counter down here for collecting dust for the late for the longest but um today we're going to open them up and see if they have any uh juice let's let's get to plug these in real quick pretty sure the battery's dead but we'll let them ride for a second in the meantime got your usual books and yeah that's pretty much it now let's see how these actually look now these are oh okay wait a minute these are no uh no no uh no tips so these I'm going to have to compare these with the airpods I will compare with the airpods all right so let me goad and power these up all right so I had the Marshall sitting down here for maybe half a year so these was completely dead so I'm going to let these charge up so in the meantime let's take it over to the Google pixel buds Pro two now these are going to run you 230 bucks these are the most expensive ones that you're going to see in this video okay so let's go and check these out okay pixelbuds Pro 2 same egg sh egg style case okay now I went with the white color right here let's see what else you get small medium and large ear tips okay medium already installed let's go and set these up now these should be fully charged I just got these in the mail a couple of days ago all right so I got the pixel buds Pro to paired up and right out of the gate the transparency mode is insane I'm going to say it's right up there with apple it's very natural totally better than everything else that I tried out so far now let's see as far as the app we got noise cancellation let's go to hit that okay now oh yeah you you can tell this is going to be real noise cancellation let's go back to transparency mode okay and let's go to sound okay so we got some different eqs okay so we got trouble mid base low we'll play with that in a minute volume balance okay mono audio okay so basic settings basic settings spatial audio you got head track okay everything looks good all right so let's take it into some music let's go over to YouTube music I got Big Rich down queued up now here's what I want to do let's go to I'm going to turn on noise cancellation okay that Ambient sound mode is dope okay let's try this now some music okay now the clarity is there definitely not as overpoweringly loud as the sound GES this is where it goes down okay hold up I'm gonna wait for that bass drop come up hard legal Lord legal baby y oo okay now these definitely have the best noise cancellation cuz I feel like I can't even hear my own voice let me let me take it to the EQ for a second P that watch your glow all right let's see okay now that's heavy base but it's not too crazy let's see balance let's see under the cover let's do it like oo they say this is a big Rich T okay these sound great I just come from the bo okay is dope I is dope we got a make this is where it goes down all right let's try one different song Let's do um let's see what we got let's see uh Travis got antidote okay now I will say this these definitely have the best noise cancellation out of anything I tried yet don't you let out that in oo okay now these are super clean okay here let me pause let meit pause okay I'm ready to rank these right now okay now these are super clean all right the the highs the mids super clean the transparency mode and active noise cancellation again I got on this fan back here I can tell the difference and you can just hear the difference with your voice like when you're talking with these on you can barely hear your own voice so these are going to be top 10 noise cancellation I'm going to rank these a 10 now y know I don't really like rankings scale of 1 to 10 but I'm going to give these a 10 I'm going to give these a 10 so far I think these would be I think so far these would be my favorite from this video These then I'm going to go with the if I'm going outside probably the sound course but the kind the way I listen to my music it would be between these and the sisers that would be my choice but so far out of all of them you can't go wrong you can't go wrong now I want to try one more thing all right so I just did a side by side with the mar minor 3s and the airpod 4S and believe it or not the airpods actually sound better and have noise cancellation and cost cheaper so would I buy these for 200 bucks no okay I would buy these if they was about a buck 30 a buck 20 but 200 bucks that's a big pass okay definitely not airpods sound better if you're looking for earbuds that don't have the silicone tips go with the airpods unless you got an Android phone that's another story but I would go with the airpods you get noise cancellation and they sound better all right so last up we got the nothing open air now these are going to run you 150 bucks let's go and check these out now I want to see if these will be able to sound better than my favorite shocks okay now I do like how nothing be doing their presentation real nice hold up okay check this out yeah now nothing knows how to do it I would love to see some nothing over the a style headphones with this design okay look at that okay open back Style just like the shocks okay you see the shocks open back style this is what I mean no earbud that goes in your ear all right so let's pair these up and do a little sound test all right so I got the nothing's paired up this is how the app looks now you do have some different controls double pinch triple pinch pinch and hold and you got EQ so we got balance more base more trouble voice and custom let's see all right so let's do we'll start off with balanced and we'll do a little sound test all right so we got Big Rich sound remix one last time now you're going to hear a lot of leakage with this this is maximum volume y'all hear it I got a m this is where it goes okay okay now let's see let's play with the EQ real quick Leal Lord Leal let's do more Bas okay you actually get more base all right let's do voice now voice is trash more trouble is good so far I like more Bas let's do custom let's see believe it or not this sounds the best like this okay now I don't know if y'all can hear my head right next to the mic okay these actually sound good now let me let's H pause for a second matter of fact take these off I don't know if you can hear this now I want to do a quick side by side with the shars all right so I got the nothing's paired up this is how the app looks now you do have some different controls double pinch triple pinch pinch and hold and you got an EQ so we got balance more base more trouble voice and custom let's see all right so let's do we'll start off with balanced and we'll do a little sound test all right so we got Big Rich s remix one last time now you're going to hear a lot of leakage with this this is maximum volume y'all hear it I got a m this is where it goes okay okay now let's see let's play with the EQ real quick Le of Lord leer let's do more Bas okay you actually get more base all right let's do voice now voice is trash more trouble is good so far I like more base let's do custom let's see believe it or not this sounds the best like this okay now I don't know if y' can hear put my head right next to the mic okay this actually sound good now let me let's H pause for a second matter of fact take these off I don't know if you can hear this now I want to do a quick side by side with the shocks all right so I just did some thorough testing and both of these sound great but when it comes to Bas I haven't seen any open back style earbuds like this that have more bass than the shars these are still my absolute favorites the nothings these will be number two right up there in the top but these are a little bit better all right so let's rank these headphones now out of all the ones that I reviewed I would say number one on my list I would go with the pixel buds if I had to walk out the door right now and take one of these sets of earbuds with me I would take the pixelbuds okay these have the cleanest sound the Ambient sound mode noise cancellation these will be my favorites from this video number two I'm going to go with the sisers okay the senheiser sound quality now look it's not just about volume when it comes to volume and just extra extra extra yeah the sound CES they ain't no joke but if you like clean sound the sises sound a little bit better so I'm going to go with the pixel buds then I'm going to go with the sisers then the Sound Cores then after that I'm going to go JBL Cambridge and when it comes to the non tip style like I said go with the airpods all right if you like non tip earbuds go with the airpods over the Marshalls I ain't really feeling these too much they all right but not for 200 bucks anyway this is Battle of the buds hit me up in the comments and let me know if there's anything specific y'all want
