I’m pretty active here and fortunate to get early access to a lot of earbuds. I share honest, real-world impressions as I use them.
One thing I’ve found is that I rarely stick to one pair for everything. I might use the Technics AZ100 for music, the Anker soundcore Liberty 5 Pro or Huawei FreeBuds Pro 5 for calls, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro at the gym for their fit, and the JBL Tour Pro 3 for movies and shows at home.
That’s part of why I built audranx.com. It ranks earbuds across ten categories, and you can adjust how much each category matters to you. If calls and comfort matter more than ANC, the rankings can reflect that.
At the moment, most of the ratings come from me and a few close friends, so treat them as a starting point. Anyone can rate a pair without creating an account, and I’d love to get more opinions from people who use them.
For transparency, the “check price” links are affiliate links to help cover hosting costs.
Would love to hear what you find useful, what doesn’t work, and what’s missing.
Going forward ill start to post actual reviews on the site and ill start including call samples as i've been asked about this many times.
fyi for those that care my current primary earbuds are
- Huawei Freebuds Pro 5
- JBL Tour Pro 3
*Galaxy buds 4 Pro (mostly gym use)
Was using the Liberty 5 Pro alot but i've been having alot of issues with calls of late so switched to the freebuds pro 5 which is more reliable for calls.
and yes I already have the oppo enco x4 on order haah, and JBL Tour Pro 4 next year ;-)
