Hi there, really interesting video. Myself i was thinking to choose between yamaha tw-e7b, denon perl pro and technics az80. At the moment I'm using the first Gemini model.

This is so good! I've listened to your covers so many times and this one in particular. More incubus style please!

I yet have to find a decent call quality when driving in my car. It seems call quality, especially the other party in the car can't hear you even though you hear them. I have the Jabra 7 Elite and I have to revert to talking on the phone rather than the earbuds most of my calls. The whole point of having them is not met at all.

Are there reasons why the WF1000XM5 didn't make it? I bought the Elite 10 to replace the WF1000XM5 I had before because of the eartips but if I bought spin fit eartips then they would most likely be one of the best overall despite its Spatial Audio not being able to be used on types of streaming services which is very unfortunate.

Excellent review - in depth testing and a wide range of devices looked at. It's also great that you mention ear tips - I use spinfit ear tips as the difference in audio quality and comfort more than justifies their price. In the past I've had the Sony linkbud S and really liked them as small all rounders. However, I settled on the apple airpods pro 2 which I used with my android LG v60 and more recently with an iPhone. The airpods pro 2 (with spinfit ear tips) are my go to all rounder for noise cancellation, transparency, audio quality, comfort, controls, pocketability and longevity (the battery can be replaced too)- for my android and ios devices. I have some Status Between ANC earbuds and love their triple driver audio quality. They don't support Aptx or LDAC, showing just how more important hardware, good tuning and good fit is for audio quality compared to codecs (also source files matter. I switched from Spotify to apple music on android and ios and the difference is huge - and the same price). Battery life on the Status Between ANC is excellent with 8hrs on ANC (their ANC is decent but not airpods level). Without ANC, the Status Between earbuds battery life is an excellent 12hrs. The earbuds and case are Ipx 5 rated. For £160 I've found them excellent value. And I like their distinct appearance compared to most other earbuds. I was wondering if you'd tested the Status and how they compare to the Geminis? (Only 5hrs battery life for the Gemini rules them out for me). I was wondering if you've tested the Cambridge Audio m100? I had the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ and loved the superb mids and audio quality, small size and long battery life.

The Status Between ANC with their audio, ipx rating and 12hrs battery (without anc which wasn’t important for how intended to use them) and at £160, were hard to beat for me when I already had the AirPods Pro 2 (brilliant all rounder.

It's an argument for me. I want my tech to last for the time I want, not what the battery wants :) I know it's hard to make such tiny buds repairable without effecting the functionality. But maybe it's possible. There is also an economic reason behind a replacable battery. The same earphones could get a second live and then less headphones have to be produced in the future. If the battery in an Apple phone was attached to the frame, there would also be fever people buying them. Without a properly working battery, there is no way to operate the device, however good it might be :) E.g. the Fairphone headphones are completely easily repairable. If it is successful, other brands could follow this trend and maybe someday tws earphones are also easily repairable 😊
