Best earbuds for the $$$?

You have the regular ones? Call quality good?

Anyone had regular and the pros? Worth the extra $100?

The pros are in a mess right now. Unreliable firmware, crackling issues, and reduced ANC.

If you want apple get the regular right now with the comply tips to get a better seal.

Echo buds or galaxy buds are great too

I have AirPod pros and I don’t think they’re a mess. Regular AirPods never really fit my ears well but the pros do. They are totally worth it if ANC is important. I run a lot in New Orleans and due to being in a swamp, most runners run on the street since sidewalk running is sadly more dangerous. I turn off the ANC when I run outside so I can hear cars engines etc.

In the gym and traveling, ANC is awesome. If you could benefit from similar scenarios, I’d splurge but if you don’t care about any of those scenarios, there’s probably cheaper options like Jaybird Tarah Pros (good headphones too).

Galaxy Buds plus

I got a pair of powerbeats3 bluetooth earbuds as a gift. I actually use them quite often. They hold charge good after a couple of years, and block out surrounding noise really well. I've read reviews on Amazon the opposite of my experience. Could be that I got a good batch of batteries and hardware? My experience didn't line up with some of the reviews though.

I'm not too fond of the no wire thing on the air pods. I would absolutely lose one of them if they weren't connected. I also ride bicycle a lot, and if one falls out there's no telling where it's going to fall into so I like the wire being able to drape it around my neck. The wire is mildly inconvenient at times though.

If all you need them for is podcasts and aren’t a huge audiophile then the regular AirPods work great. Got mine a few weeks ago through amazon sale for $129.

Bought these for just casual use and sound great for the price.

Picked up a pair at target for $139. They are very nice and the range is impressive. Only wish they had volume control on them.

Do you have an Apple Watch? If so you can control it from there. Not exactly what you're looking for but you get used to it.

Apparently I'm an apple sheep.

Yeah call quality is what my wife loves most about then. She calls her grandmother once a week at least, and her grandmother is hard of hearing. She used these one time and her grandmother said she could hear her better. My wife could hear her better as well with it being in her ear and not having to hold the phone. I’ve used them a few times taking calls while driving. Better than using the BT in my SUV.
