Hi, title's rather explanatory I think but I was considering getting a pair of TWS buds for convenience sake since cables are sometimes not an option for me. But I know a lot of modern buds make you get apps that request a large amount of questionable permissions(even if you deny them, the requests in and of itself feels like a red flag) and likely send your data away. So I was wondering if there were any options that were cleaner. Thanks for the help!
I just bought 1500 dollars worth of over ears and ear buds all the top brands Bose quiet comfort ultras, Sony wf 1000xm5, Apple airpod pro gen 2, and JBL best one I forget the model, I also bought Jabra elite 10 gen 2 which has a wicked cool feature of plug into any device and it'll charge and stream to earbuds from TV or laptop whatever. I even tried Samsung galaxy bud pros. I tried these 500 dollars headphones by Sonos maybe or seinheisser? I forget the name but they sucked.
ANC Sony said was best, far from true like not even close. Best IMO I tried them all extensively even at a concert. With and without apps on a separate phone. ANC is best on BOSE, followed by Apple air pods gen 2 pro, then Jabra elite 10 gen 2, then Sony xm5, and JBL didn't even feel any noise canceling what so ever. I even bought open fit air over ears. None of the apps makes major difference. If you would like to Eq and tune settings you can setup and delete. Settings are synced to device and they stay. Order online save hundreds shop smart. Don't go with silicone ear tips if you are like me and loathe in ear feeling. Go with memory foam its an extra 20 wild difference on pressure, sweaty ear feeling, hours of use memory foam is top notch order online. Over ears you won't know your wearing them not headphones but open fit airs, sound leakage barely but also volume dependent, mic is sounds like a tin can on calls, avoid bone conduction seems cool leaks most sound. I tried over ears, on ears, in ears, bone conduction. Sony is best headphone style xm4 or xm5. Bose is best figment and ANC, sound balanced as well, I chose quiet comfort ultras after trying them all over days and hours of use. Any questions just ask!
