Which One Has the Best Microphone Quality - Tested

**Testing Bluetooth Earphones and Headsets in Outdoor Conditions**

In today's world, where technology plays a vital role in our daily lives, having a good pair of earphones or headphones is essential for an immersive listening experience. But how do they perform when it comes to capturing audio in noisy outdoor conditions? To find out, we put various Bluetooth earphones and headsets through their paces, recording audio with each one's internal microphone and comparing the results.

**Sennheiser HD 350: A Decent Performance**

We started by using the Sennheiser HD 350, a popular earphone brand known for its quality sound. We recorded the audio with the earphones' own internal microphone, which picked up some of the ambient noise from the construction work outside our recording area. However, switching to the Sennheiser's internal microphone showed that it was capable of canceling out some of the ambient noise, providing a cleaner listening experience.

**OnePlus Bullets Wireless**: A Surprisingly Good Performer

Next, we used the OnePlus Bullets Wireless neckband-style earphones, which were surprisingly good in terms of audio quality. The audio picked up by the microphone was clear and crisp, with minimal background noise. Switching to the camera's internal microphone revealed that it was able to capture a decent amount of ambient noise, but overall, the OnePlus Bullets Wireless performed well.

**Samsung Galaxy Buds**: A Decent But Not Perfect Performance

We then moved on to the Samsung Galaxy Buds, which were transmitting audio via their built-in microphone. While they did a good job in capturing audio, there was some background noise and hiss present. Switching back to the camera's internal microphone showed that it picked up even more ambient noise, making it clear that the Samsung Galaxy Buds had some limitations in noisy outdoor conditions.

**OnePlus Z Wireless Bullets**: Affordable but with Some Issues

The OnePlus Z Wireless Bullets neckband-style earphones were another affordable option we tested. While they did a decent job in capturing audio, there was some hiss and background noise present, making it clear that they weren't the best performer in noisy conditions.

**AirPods (Original)**: A Surprisingly Good Performance

We then used the original AirPods, which surprisingly performed well in terms of audio quality. The microphone picked up clear and crisp audio, with minimal background noise. Switching back to the camera's internal microphone revealed that it was able to capture a decent amount of ambient noise, but overall, the AirPods performed well.

**Airpods (Pro)**: Not Needed for Everyday Use

We didn't test the newer AirPods Pro, as they were not needed for our purposes. Instead, we stuck with the original AirPods, which proved to be a reliable and good performing option.

**Sony WX-1000XM4 Headphones**: A Top Performer with Active Noise Cancellation

Finally, we tested the Sony WX-1000XM4 headphones, which featured active noise cancellation technology. The microphone picked up clear and crisp audio, with minimal background noise. Switching back to the camera's internal microphone showed that it was able to capture even less ambient noise, thanks to the headphones' advanced noise cancellation technology.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our tests revealed that some earphones and headsets performed better than others in noisy outdoor conditions. The Sony WX-1000XM4 headphones stood out as a top performer, thanks to their active noise cancellation technology. While the AirPods proved to be a reliable option, they were not without limitations. Ultimately, when choosing a Bluetooth earphone or headset for use in noisy outdoor conditions, it's essential to consider factors such as audio quality, noise cancellation, and comfort.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is ranjit and in this video i have a bunch of uh headphones earphones etc and you're going to look at the microphone quality because lately it has become very important because we are doing a lot of work from home hence we have to do a lot of conferences also i know students are using uh online classes and they have to use the microphone so again microphone has become very very important and i have a bunch of headphones too tws etc and even now one what is a neckband style uh so let's have a look at the microphone quality of these and i've reviewed all these products earlier so if you want to know about the audio quality in depth i'll have the links but here we'll concentrate on the mic quality because these days the problem is that many of the new smartphones simply don't have a 3.5 mm jack so you have to use these bluetooth headsets so let's have a closer look at this one and what we'll do is i'll divide this test into two parts and again i'll have chapters also guys so that you can directly jump to a particular section uh one we'll do in this area this is a controlled area uh we have some sound proofing so a lot of sound does not leak here so this is sort of perfect indoor conditions but we'll also test it outdoors there's some construction going on to see how effective are the microphones and cutting on the uh sound and we have this oneplus and a bunch of earphones and headphones so let's have a closer look at the same now so guys uh now first test we are doing with the apple airport these are the original ones and as you can see i'm wearing them i'll switch between the audio between the camera itself and other airpods and actually we are recording it uh by the smartphone we are not using the smartphone internal microphone but we're using the bluetooth microphone so that you'll know the quality so this is the quality with the airpods indoor in a controlled environment what do you feel about the microphone so for the second one guys this is the oneplus but z that was for about 3000 rupees and again uh the voice is being transmitted via the bluetooth again i'll switch it over to the camera this is what the camera is capturing uh but again i'll switch back to uh what is the quality from the what do you say mic one thing i noticed is that in many of these actually the microphone pickup is only from the left parts if i press it here to make it some noise but as you can see right it does not so this is something that i've seen particular most of them do the pickup of microphone from the left to your back but this was with the oneplus part 3 now we're using the new samsung galaxy buds life or the beans i would say just making very tiny and this is the audio now we'll switch it to the audio from the what do you say cameras microphone again i'm using a high quality microphone guys so but this is the uh pickup from what do you say studio microphone and back to the buds the live what do you guys think about the microphone pickup from this bird life in this indoor controlled environment so guys now using the me through wireless to uh your phones and recording the audio via that so this is the audio that you can expect and this one for some strange reason is picking up the microphone tool from the right here but and we'll just switch to the camera as you want to give you an idea this is from the camera and now switching back to the microphone from this one do let me know what do you feel about this one i have this one here in indoor conditions i feel is actually doing a pretty good job but what do you guys feel about the same so guys now we are recording with the oneplus bullet z wireless yes this is a neckband style one and the audio that you're hearing is being picked up by this microphone and even in my review i said that though i did like the sound quality in terms of sound the bass was less but the microphone quality was actually really good so what do you feel about the microphone quality of this one in indoor condition we'll just switch back to the cameras audio and again uh it's being recorded by a high quality microphone uh from the camera and indoor conditions and we'll switch back to this oneplus so what do you feel about this one we'll also try it outdoors and see how well it does so guys uh now uh we are using the galaxy buds uh and these were launched in 2019 and now the pricing has come down quite a bit the audio that you're hearing is being picked up by its microphone so what do you feel about uh this one sorry guys i don't have the bugs uh plus version that was just recently launched but i have this one so what do you feel about this one switching back to the camera so what do you say microphones and this is from the camera itself using a high quality microphone that is on the camera and now switching back to the uh microphone of these pads so what do you feel about this one so guys now recording with the sony uh thousand xm4 headphones uh these actually have active noise cancellation and these are expensive about 25 000 the audio you're hearing he's being picked up by this microphone so what do you feel about that in this indoor conditions and we'll just switch to the cameras audio for a second to give you an idea this is the audio from the camera and now switching back to the audio from these uh sony headphones what do you feel about the same so guys this is the sennheiser uh bd 350 hd uh headphones and the audio that you're hearing is being recorded via this one and this is something weird when i'm speaking i'm it's slightly piping in that audio and i'm able to hear it but what do you feel about the audio recording uh from this and once uh microphone and now let's just switch to the camera's microphone for a second this is the audio that is being recorded by the camera itself now switching back to the sennheiser so what do you feel about the same in this indoor conditions now this was the last test now what we will be doing is now i'll just move outside and we do the same test and outside that there is actually some construction work going on uh also pay attention to that do these headphones or the earphones actually cut down any of the sound that is outside that's also an important thing let's see how they do so guys as you can see we are recording outdoors and here's some construction work is going on right now it's been recorded with the camera's own internal microphone to get an idea how the surrounding is and now let's switch to the sennheiser's internal microphone and this is the audio pickup is it the canceling some of the ambient noise or not that is what we have to see and you guys let me know what do you feel about the microphone pickup in these outdoor conditions with the sennheiser hd 350 once now guys we are using the oneplus but z and the audio that you're hearing is being transmitted by that is it actually cutting down the ambient side let's just switch to the audio from the camera to get you an idea this is the ambient sound that we're getting and now switching back to audio into the microphone pickup from this one do let me know what do you feel about the microphone pickup with this oneplus but buzzy in this outdoor kind of situations now guys uh the audio is being transmitted by the samsung bugs live earphones and uh this is audio again in same outdoor conditions let me just switch it back to the cameras audio this is the audio and that is coming from the camera to give you an idea about the noise around this area and switching back to the audio from this microphone uh what do you guys actually feel about this one is the microphone pickup good and is it cutting down any ambient noise in this outdoor kind of situations now guys i've put on this um tws 2 or the true wireless version 2 and the audio is being transmitted from its this microphone to let me know what do you feel about the same now switching back to the microphone from the camera to give you an idea about the ambient sun around this area and now switching it back to the audio from this one so what do you feel about the microphone pickup and this outdoor conditions by this me pws2 earphones so guys now using the airpods and these are the original ones not the pro or anything and the audio pickup is why that so what do you guys feel about the airpods uh microphone quality in these outdoor conditions and switching back to the cameras uh microphone to give you an idea about that i'm getting sound in this area noisy construction work is going on i'm switching it back to uh the airport's internal microphone so what do you feel about the same the airpods microphone in this outdoor conditions so guys now recording uh while the sony wx thousand xm4 headphones and uh this audio that you're getting is being picked up by the microphone of this one this actually has active noise cancellation it claims so hopefully they should be actually best considering the pricing traditionally it was 30 000 now for about 25 000. uh but now let me just switch back earlier to the camera's own internal microphone to give you an idea what is the sound and the noise around this area so this is the actual sound around construction work that's going on and now switching back to the microphone of the sony and this is the audio pickup via that and this is an outdoor condition so what do you feel about the microphone pickup and noise cancellation with these sonys now guys using the oneplus z wireless bullet these are the neckband style ones uh these are pretty affordable for about 2000 rupees and the audio that you're hearing is being transmitted by it's a microphone so what do you feel about this one in this outdoor condition now switching back to the audio from the camera so that you get an idea how is the actual sound that has been captured do we have some construction work is going on now switching back to the audio from this oneplus so what do you feel about the same and lastly guys this is the samsung galaxy bus that i'm using and the audio that you're hearing is being transmitted via it's a microphone so this is the quality outdoors now switching back to the cameras earlier to give you an idea how noisy it is and this is one of the cameras are you switching back to the audio of this galaxy pass these are old but what do you feel about the microphone quality and release noisy conditions with the same so hopefully guys uh this gives you an idea about these various what do you say earphones uh my what are the headsets that we have used our bluetooth one which one i think did actually better in terms of microphone quality hopefully this video helps you engaging that because i know many times actually you require a very good microphone because of the situation that we added and i just hope this video gives you a idea which one might be better for all your needs and guys if you're not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button this is ranjit and i hope to see you bye next video take carehi guys this is ranjit and in this video i have a bunch of uh headphones earphones etc and
