    Sounds like they're pretty decent. I struggle with the idea of ordering most earbuds because I have the WORST time finding any that will actually stay in my ears. For instance, the AKG wired ones that came with the Note 10+ some years ago ... I couldn't keep them in my ears to save myself - until I discovered that they fit very well if I put them in ... upside down. The first earbuds I ever had luck with were the Pixel Buds A Series, which I can wear comfortably without them falling out for hours, until the batteries die. So I know that shape works well for me, and I think some of that comes down to the little rubber wing-nub-things on them. I couldn't even bring myself to try the Pixel Buds Pro because looking at the shape, I wasn't sure I could even wear them. It's tough deciding to drop a couple hundred bucks on something you may not even be able to use once you have them. At least at the price point the OnePlus are coming in at ... much less cash on the line. But my A Series will be sticking around until they die, I think. I only wish they had the swipe volume controls, but I can also use my watch or S-Pen to change volume with the S24 Ultra now. :)

    The way battery life is on most earbud cases is so good that wireless charging just isnt nessessary. That mic test is ok. It does the job and can hear you clearly. It doesnt sound like you are in the next room, but ok. Btw were you able to test these with a voice memo app?

    I been digging into the STATUS "Between Pro's" with the LG V40, V50 and V60 using AptX. With Triple drivers using a 10mm driver for the lows and dual armatures for the mids and highs, with one of them being medical grade hearing aid type armatures. You can turn them all the way up without any distortion. STATUS had a sale for $80 so i picked up on them and loving them. the best battery life and BT 5.2 coverage I've tested by far. usually going for a flat $99 i would try both.

    I still ADORE my Bullets 2 from back in 2019. They were my first (non-true) wireless headphones when I had my OnePlus 6(my last phone with a headphone jack). Then I got a second pair the following year for free when I ordered my 7T. I have AirPods Pro 2 now which I really enjoy for using at the gym and at work, but my Bullets still serve as reliable companions for my desktop at home as well as a pair that live in my car in case I forget my AirPods at home. They still beat the AirPods in terms of bass output as well as overall maximum volume, but I also enjoy the newer feature set on the AirPods like ANC, transparency as well as just the greater comfort when I decide to just wear one in my ear.

    I was looking into getting these but my Earfun Air Pro 3's are just killa. 10hrs w/ ANC off because I can't hear anything at 55% to 60% volume. All the codecs auto detects & changes within my S24 Ultra's developer options which I didn't know they would do. I have the Nothings also but one of my Stems has came apart. Tape works great but at 85% volume is equal to 60% on my Earfun's. Plus the Earfun's has everything like the Qualcomm Chip, APTx, Hi-Res, LC3, LDAC, etc, Codecs. These just sound great & last forever with comfort.

    So here's the deal, on MY ears it isn't, but on MY ears, these airpods style cases can't stay in my ears when I move my jaw, and that immediately defeats passive and active NR. I don't daily earbuds with a shallow insertion. While the tech might be better, you ultimately need to buy on fit. If your Liberty fit you snug and block out noise, that might not be the case with a different case shape.

I ended up getting some soundpeats on sale. My only complaint about the sound peats is that the buttons to power on/off, next/prev require an oddly long hold - but the price was right. If the Soundcores stay in while you're working out I might have to give those a try. Thanks for the information!

    Long comment incoming. I'm going from the Buds Pro to the Buds 3. Pretty excited about that. I'm getting the Pro 2 (green, sadly, the black ones weren't in stock (yes I prefer black/metallic gray over the emerald green or whatever it's called lol sue me)) for free with my OnePlus 12 purchase and will be giving those to my little brother. I use earbuds at work where I move around a lot, mostly outdoors, so I don't need the fancy head tracking or the best audio quality (though I doubt I'd know the slight difference between the Pro 2 and the Buds 3 if I did an A/B test while working), but for the times when I use the buds for gaming, watching videos, movies etc., I'm sure I'll be more than happy with the Buds 3. I am going to miss squeezing the stalk to pause, play and turn ANC on and off, even while wearing gloves. But if I'm ever in a position where I can't pick up my phone to pause or play, I tend to pause the music by removing one of the buds about as many times as I do it by squeezing. Looking forward to handsfree media consumption by not having to lift up the phone or press the screen to access the OSC to change the volume). Keeping the price down by getting rid of the wireless charging while still managing to boost the battery life was a smart move. I doubt I'll ever need to charge my buds with my phone. And like you said in your OnePlus 12 video, if one *has* to do that, then you can just use a cable. Also, because of the heavy discounts, I'm technically getting the Buds 3 for free. The prices for phones may be much higher here (Sweden) than in the states, but the discounts make it worth it. Paying as much for the OnePlus 12 (16GB RAM, 512GB storage), Buds Pro 2, Buds 3 and sandstone bumper case as I would if I just got the OnePlus 12 without discounts.

    I'm sending my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro back because they are giving me ear infections. Hopefully Samsung gives me a refund for them. They have to examine them and I told them there's nothing wrong with them. I had to email them proof that I went to the Dr for an ear infection. But I digress. So I ordered these OnePlus Buds 3 a couple of days ago. I'm confident that they are going to be a solid replacement. Btw I've never had earbuds give me ear infections before so something in the materials that Samsung is using is affecting me as well as others whom I found online.
