the galaxy buds have tips on them and you can even change the tips out for 3rd party tips or whatever so that it can give good isolation. if you can outside noisr that means you're on ambient mode, put it into the normal mode without anc and ambient node and with a good fit ot will block out noise as in your regular iem, ANC cancels out sound using a processor which uses pattern, that means regular noises will be canceled out better. this applies to very tws and some will be better than others. ofcourse it's not comparable to b2d because they are twice the price. while the buds have bluetooth, anc, ambient mode, microphones, etc. at that price point some sacrifices will be made. even more expensive tws suffer the same problem, which is bluetooth.

Products like that sound ok until you compare them with something decent

Well... With these, and similar, it's as much about the features as it is about the sounds

Sadly they won't sound as good as they can unless they're paired with a Samsung device as well due to the Samsung Scalable Codec, their proprietary bluetooth codec.

I have Samsung s22 ultra phone and I barely can stand SSC codec :/ There are albums where hihat sounds so unnatural and compressed that I need to manually switch to Aptx cause I can't stand the way SSC sounds. It just poorly manages high frequencies. It reminds me of mp3 128 bit rate I use to listen when I was a teenager :/

I'm super happy with ANC on these headphones (waaaay better than I expected and main reason I stick with them), but codec wise I was expecting more (tonal wise from SSC).

Dunno, the convenience my Buds+ give me far outweighs the sound quality of my B2s

Sound quality is fine and will not blow you away but convenience it's what makes me pick it up, not having to deal with wires while doing chores and cooking is nice. Also default ear tips that comes with is terrible hardly any seal and not that comfortable.

How do you feel about the Clear and 6XX? I owned the Elear, and the sound was unnatural, same with the clear. I own the hd560s now, and they also sound unnatural to me. Considering buying the galaxy buds 2 pro, so maybe they sound right to me then, if we have opposite ears haha.

Firstly, for tws sound quality is not the biggest priority for manufacturers. Portability and function is. See sennies tws (sorry sennheiser). The target audience of these consumer products is normally towards general public thus the boosted sound signature is typically used. Iems are targeted at audiophiles, people who seek sound quality. Even taking into account that there are many iems out that that sounds like shit but get high ratings.

Secondly, sound is very subjective. It depends on your preference, your songs and down to your ear canal. To avoid disappointment always demo products before buying. Fortunately for me I stay in the same country as crin so I get access to most of the stuff he demos in stall. Nvr had I tried to match tws to iems. Totally different products. Also, my iem rankings are totally different from crin lol.

The anc is working on such a small device that reduces its effectiveness. For the full anc u need to get a damn good seal. If u r looking for very good anc just go with bose qc or Sony xm4 headphones.

I like my Buds2 Pro, and I just sent back some Blessing 2s, so I guess I'm the reverse of you.

The thing to remember is ANC might not be better than passive noise cancellation, and unfortunately, you have to pick one or the other most of the time. For me, the convenience of the buds is its own thing. They're tiny in their case and quick to get in and out. Wired IEMs take a minute to set up and typically have quite large cases.

Sorry for an unrelated question: but how would you compare your 6xx to the Focal Clears you tried out?

Edit: sorry saw you already addressed this question. Have a good day!

ANC has technical limitations, what magic did you expect? Chu's are like a 2 in a 1000 iem that should've cost at least 80€. I'd argue DSP makes them superio, fit is unfortunate, they work just fine in my ear. Genetically more fitting for me.

A good solution is Fiio bt amp dac you can hang around your ear and use on any IEM with 2 pin or MMX.

Good, cheap overear BT are Mpow or AKG's.

Explain exactly what the difference between tuning and ramble is in sense of headphones

I am not sure how can they be so disappointing to you. I have a pair of galaxy buds 2 and I actually think that they sound quite nice for what they are. You really shouldn't expect them to go toe to toe in sound with wired counterparts but they do a solid job in my view. Fit is meh indeed but passive sound isolation is pretty decent even with stock tips.

I'm just shocked you thought these would compare to any of your other earphone or headphones lol. They're mass produced consumer earbuds and you're just paying for the electronics, the driver(s) inside these are probably worth $5

Only peeps I've seen shilling these are Crinicle and tech tubers.

I was equally disappointed with the sennhieser mtw's, they are on par with £50 wired chifi's. Open them up and you can see why.

Does crinacle has some Samsung money in his pocket, because their tws always sounded just bad to me

I've owned all generations of the Galaxy Buds (except those awful Beans or whatever) and they are all excellent products, with the possible exception of the Buds+ because the treble sucks.

The Harman tuning is popular for a reason. You may not like it and that's fine, but many do, statistically speaking.
