Suggestions for Bluetooth Earbuds? Should have good mic quality compared to others. Noise Cancellation. Battery duration not that important. My Airpods are almost dead. Thinking between Airpods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM4.

I’d suggest the Sony ones because I like over-the-ear more but that’s just me.
Sorry, never mind. I thought you meant WH-1000XM4.

Yeah those are headphones. Earbuds are small thingies you put into your ear. That headphone is also on the list for future.

I would say bose if you are into high budget those are really good but expensive

I have Jabra Elite 75T, and they added ANC on it via software update, I take calls through it and it works great. The successor 85T has dedicated ANC hardware and is cheaper than Sony. Not to mention that size of it is much smaller than Sony, so no giant lobs hanging out of your ears.

If you really want a great mic, do not opt for bluetooth earbuds. Even the best of the bluetooth earbuds have just okayish mics. They are fine for media, but not for calls. Airpods Pro are the top end of mics in bluetooth earbuds but even then they are just okay. Its more of a bluetooth limitation. RHA has great wired earphones. Either just get wired earphones or an external mic along with the wireless earbuds. I'll recommend wired earphones. Another solution is to download Krisp AI Noise Cancellation (https://ref.krisp.ai/u/u13ec3ae62 my referral :P). I am not trying to shill for the company, but the offering is amazing, even with fans running in the background it cancels everything and it is extremely clear even from my laptops mic. Has certainly increased my online calling experience.

@broad-receptionist-41400 I usually take all work calls on the phone. If you are looking for background noise cancelation on desktop. Look into Virtual Audio Cabals. I do have an external mic. I am looking for replacement for my Airpods. I always got complaint that the Airpods voice quality was very low. Just evaluating if anyone came up with something better.

Well, if the airpods arent giving you voice quality, other's wont be any better, they are top of the line in terms of mic quality in bluetooth devices.

@orange-action-12733 Have you used Bose? I will look into it. Thanks

I used it for few hours through a friend felt it great worth giving a try

Due to the bandwidth limitations it’s almost impossible to get high quality two-way audio in any bluetooth headset/earbuds. I’ve tried everything from Sennheiser to Sony to Samsung to Apple for this. Apple’s mics are best from the bunch but still mediocre

@flat-morning-91037 Thanks. Hearing good things about Jabra.

@millions-ice-83302 I purchased Jabra 75T twice (and returned) from Amazon. There was a hardware issue in the left ear bud, at least in the pieces that I received and found this as a common feedback from many other users. Plus, I found that the size of the earbuds were quite large for me. Recently, purchased Galaxy buds plus, I would say it is okish (no ANC) but had a far better experience than 75T. Have heard good things about 85T but take a look at the hardware issue if it's resolved or not.

I have both sony 1000xm3 and AirPod, currently AirPod is getting discharge within 30 mins, I use both for specific use case… Sony for bus and air travel, AirPod at home and walk. Because I can’t sleep with headphone and noise cancellation at walk is dangerous, I might get kicked by vehicle as non listing horn.
