Great tips Kenneth. You show exactly why I like having a good supply of both types for different applications for all of the reasons you gave here. However, I don't think that ambient mode, even a good one, helps occlusion too much because while it does pass sound through, it does nothing to mitigate the bone-conducting sound from your own voice. To me, that's unfortunately the worst part about the occlusion effect! When on the phone, I much prefer my cheapest TWS, the Sounpeats TrueAir 2. They also have the slimmest case of all the buds I own.
I just appreciate how quality of your vid

Great video as always! I'd love to see a comparison of foam and silicone especially on bass response. I got the buds live based on your recommendation and love them for specific use cases and especially for talking on the phone. I then got the Buds Pro too. The silicone on them had a weird shape so I went with foam but feel like bass suffered.
amazing information, loved it

U explained it so beautifully, i just want a pair of tws which feels like i am hearing it from my phone speakers but at the same time won't disturb others and so it's half in ear for me
I love half in Ear earbuds more than in-ear earbuds. They are better in my opinion, I believe that because they can be tough to fit in your ear at times but when you do the half-in earbuds are not going anywhere and they are comfortable. Half-in earbuds are a bit safer for your ears, the reason for that is because they do not push earwax in your ears as much as in-ear earbuds. I prefer half in-ear earbuds more than in-ear earbuds but no hate or anything like that I am just expressing my opinion and not to mention there are situations that in-ear earbuds are better than half-in ear earbuds or vice versa!
Just bought a half in ear. Wish I saw your video before, because I think in ear suits best for me
Nice Comparison keep it up!
Your reviews are by far the most thorough and with quality descriptive communication. Thank you. Good music quality and noise cancelling is mandatory. What gets confusing is the variables in reference to noise cancelling and the most effective buds for pedestrian use, meaning having calls whilst walking next to traffic.

@@namedkennthe only half in ear design that gives tremendous bass even though it's open design, is of course the airpods 3rd generation. With it's alien head style shape, this is one of the best design I've ever seen, even without the silicone tips, the sound is pretty similar to the pro 2. Even airpods gen 3 clones from porodo, celebrat and haino teko have an astounding sound, battery life isn't the greatest (5 hrs on 70 percent) but the sound quality is definitely here
i've been using the terminologies wrong all this time huhu thanks for the clarification!

Bass and volume are also very present too. All for £25. Unbeatable for the price in my opinion.

Good one 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey kenneth.. I saw your videos, You are definitely the tws expert of internet😁 So , I need some suggestions from you, I want to buy a tws for my little sister & she only listens Spotify..!. I just want to know, in terms of sound quality , which one will be best QCY T5 or Haylou GT1 plus, I am kind of confused, because I know Haylou has aptx support over QCY's AAC ... But will even make any difference in terms of sound quality in apps like spotify??
Using the black shark t14 half in ear and u are correct I can hear everything around while listening music
I like half in-ears TWS like Xiaomi Mi Air2 SE (a.k.a. Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic or Mi AirDots 2 SE), because of ability to hear sound around me and for better comfort, i do not mind of lower sound quality.
I liked in ear design, it feels a little uncomfortable.but when I tried half in ear (apple wired earphones ) they feel like wearing nothing , however I still hearing noise. For long time usage I prefer half in ear and for sound quality the in ear is better
I find half ear more comfortable and wearable longer time, for me. Is Soundpeats air 3 any good?
Surrounding matters and Tronsmart Onyx Ace is the best. Thanks.

It depends. For gym earbuds yes they need to be in ear. For using on my computer/TV I want the half ear design. For wearing one earbud at a time I also much prefer half ear design. And I 100% agree with everything you said especially the part about eating. Bought a cheap pair of in ear for my apple TV and then realized I use it alot when I eat and it was a mistake.

I've tried tons of half ear desings (cause the rubber it's quite unconfortable for me and they almost always fall) In the half ear design and cheap but extremely good sound I reccomend the Razer hammerhead true wireless (the one's with the half in ear design) just change the profile to "more bass" and they are extremely good sounding, I mean I just bought more expensive in ear and I've been tunning them up and equalizing them to sound better and it's hard but I got a decent sound, but nothing compares to the excelent base of the razer and the overall open feeling that it provides so you feel the sound more open and natural
Very informative video..

hi. I still can't decide. I've always preferred half-in ear buds but I always thought the others were cheap poorly-made earphones that would never stay put, until someone told me you're supposed to push them into your ear. To this day I still haven't dared to do it. however, I'm now considering getting some of those just to try them out. I might hate them tho

Need Half-In Ear suggestions. I am so disappointed. I bought my first set of In-Ear buds, the Sony WF1000XM4; and I’ve decided I can’t. Even the small pad doesn’t fit naturally. They feel big and clunky, and I get the sensation that I’m underwater; however, I love music, so what are some of the best sounding Half-In Ear buds y’all use? Would that be the Samsung Galaxy like Kenneth suggested?

Umidigi AirBuds U for 34 euros or Soundpeats TrueAir 2 for 34.50 euros?
It's probably just my ears but half-in earbuds never stay in my ears. At least not any budget brand. They're always too loose and fall out quite frequently. And outdoors, I can barely hear whatever I'm listening to. That's why in-ear works best for me. I guess it always depends on the size and shape of our ears.

I saw it on launch discount right! But at the moment I'm taking a break from reviews, I'll see what I can do!
My PERSONAL recommended to earphones: ♪ In-ear is for comfort and quality. • Half in-ear hurts for me and may take few days to recover from pain. » Disadvantage for in-ear ones are losing the silicone. Useless until you can replace it with something else. ♪ Wired earphones for no-delays. • Bluetooth is a no-go for me since they are still delay even for the premium ones. » Depending on care or quality, the wire can get damage. (Wired ones may also save your phone from falling depending on ear piece) ♪ DTS assisted. (Mainly for its Bass) • Some earphones like cheap ones don't prioritize Bass. » You still can't fully enjoy Orchestral sounds on digital without bass though. • High quality built-in microphone. (Optional.) • If I ever want to use a microphone, earphones' mic perform better than the built-in mic inside the phones. » I prefer ones that filter out background noise, if you ever needed a good call.
