Hey guys, what's up, it's Carl back with another one, and maybe this might be the last before Christmas, if I can get it out on time, I'm just going to do a review of all the wireless earbuds that I've used in 2020 and a lot of these will be the best ones to grab going into 2021 as well, and as my final little Christmas giveaway bonus, I will ship out. One of these pairs- and all you have to do- is just comment on your fave down below and in my last video, maybe of the year in between Christmas and new year's I'll, announce all the winners for all of my giveaway episodes. Let's get started, I guess on this side, and these are the lg tone free sevens and the fn7s are the upgrade to, of course, the naming mechanism, the FN sixes that came out earlier this year. I actually reviewed those and to keep on the health game. These are actually made with medical grade silicone tips, and they actually have a new spiral grade design, and we'll try to get a little macro close-up shot of what the actual ear tips looks like, but that does help with the overall fit on how these go into your ears and, as I can confirm, they are super comfy to have inside. They don't fall out.
Whenever I move around my head, they do have improvements to the hardware to have increased bass and that's in comparison to the fn6s from last year, or I guess earlier this year. Furthermore, these also have active noise, cancelling which I think is a must in a pair of earbuds, especially if you use them as your primary pair and as with all lg audio products. They are built in collaboration with meridian, which is a high fidelity audio company, so they take all that EQ all that knowledge and pack them into their headphones. So obviously, these sound great and compared to the rest of the line they're actually on the budget they're on the lower side, 150 you'll, see as we go through the range. A lot of these headphones are actually over that 200 mark and overall for the design, they're sleek they're minimal.
They kind of have the wingtip shape, so they do have small little stems, and they just don't go overboard, so it keeps it minimal and when they're in the charging case, this is actually one of the smaller charging cases that I've seen. If that's important to you, so you can kind of see across the board. It is the most minimal of the bunch switching on over to the next one in line these are the Huawei free buds pro so once again, new to 2020. These run around 220, and if you actually look at the design of these, they really remind me of a Stormtrooper build, not the classic white and black, but captain plasma. If any of you are into Star Wars, they've got that chrome.
Look, I think they look super dope, maybe one of the unique across the line. So clearly, you can tell I'm a big fan of the gunmetal finish that chrome effect or the space gray effect applies to the case as well. So you do get around seven hours of playback and when you combine that with a case, you're looking at around 24 hours and the best feature of these headphones is awareness mode and that's when you can change them from active to passive noise-canceling and that actually amplifies the voice of people around you talking to you, and you'll notice. A lot of these headphones have that passive or transparency mode enabled, but these really help amplify people's voices. When they're talking to you so important when you're still listening to music, I can have a conversation with nick, hey Carl.
It's going. I can hear that that's super cheesy, but you kind of get my point what I'm trying to say, and they also have dual device connection, which I think should be an industry standard across headphones. So a lot of us have multiple devices, whether you're on your phone, switching to your laptop. These can detect and switch actively between each, and you don't have to manually change that and, as I snap these back into the case ever so satisfying, you can see on the back. These do have wireless charging, and we're going to switch on over keeping on the android game going pure android we're going to the Pixel Buds, and these are interesting.
These run 180 bucks around 220, Canadian. These are one of the few pairs of headphones across the range that come in a variety of colors. So if that's important to you, they actually have this mint or sage green. So, if you've got that new pixel 5, you can definitely match those and out of all the headphones that I'm kind of reviewing. I think these have the most minimal design.
They have no stem they're, simply the little circles and once they're in ear and once you kind of twist them in they're, nice and snug. All you see is the little circle, and I kind of prefer that look. I hate seeing long stems on headphones, and they did this design right in comparison to the Microsoft earbuds, which are honestly the most hideous of the year, they're, absolutely massive. So I think google nailed this design, and the best thing I would say about Pixel Buds is that google or android integration, if you're, already a pixel user, these pair seamlessly you'll really notice that also for apple. So this is, I guess, apple's version of android headphones other way around.
So these are essentially the android version of AirPods, so they're minimal. They work, maybe not the best pricing, maybe not the best features. They only have around five hours of battery life. I think, with the case you get around 24 hours. One thing I will note this is probably the most satisfying click case out of all the headphones that I've tested important, I'm weird moving on over to the next pair, so these are the OnePlus buds and by far the best feature of these is the price point.
So these right now are 60 dollars. When you compare that to any other headphones you're looking at either double or even triple the price of some, so definitely some awesome value these actually look and fit very similarly to the OG AirPods. So these are the version one's now sound quality, for This is probably the poorest in reality once again, you're just looking at that price category 60. If that really is important to you- and you really want to focus on savings, get these as opposed to say, Amazon knockoffs. You know the 30 40 knock offs, that a lot of people tend to get gravitate towards the OnePlus buds.
You definitely won't be disappointed, and I actually think one of the best features with all OnePlus things in general is they're fast charging. So you get an additional two hours of usage with just 10 minutes of charging and the nice thing about the OnePlus buds. You can also grab these in a couple of other colorways as well, not just the standard white. I think they've got the pretty funky, cyan or blue, and if you want to save even more money, OnePlus also has the OnePlus buds z. Those come in around 40 to 50 bucks if you can get them on sale, even more value and once again, you're saving so much money in comparison to any of these headphones that you can currently get switching from the cheapest to perhaps the most expensive.
These are the brand new Bose QC, quiet, comfort, earbuds, and these go for 280 dollars. So by far the most expensive, they also have the biggest case. So, if you're looking for a case that can fit into your pocket, you'll probably have a very large lump. So I wouldn't say this traveling case is the best to keep in your pocket. You'll probably need to store this in your bag.
Weirdly enough, though these have one of the lowest battery ratings. You only get around five hours per charge and weirdly enough. With this large case, you only get a full playback of 16. , but I think what Bose is doing, they're really focusing on the audio quality. These have some of the best sound, I would probably say best in class out of all earbuds.
These definitely sound the best. The earbuds are also the largest out of the bunch, and they have these active little wingtips at the end, which actually gives them the best fit out of all earbuds. Once you give them a slight twist. These headphones are not moving anywhere, so I actually use these a ton in the gym. I've got my own little studio here where I work out in.
They are, of course water resistant, so they're ipx4, so that's both sweat and water resistant. They do actually have the best levels of active noise-cancelling and once you go into the app there's actually 11 levels that you can choose from, ranging from all the way fully active. So you can't hear anything around you to fully passive. So if you want to listen to nick once again off camera he's chatting with me, we're doing some edits, I can hear him while he's making those edits, and I can keep listening to my music if I want, but if the most important thing for you is sound quality by far the bases are on that next level. The base is the deepest across all ranges.
These sound the best, and we're going to kind of end off with air pods, and I know this is kind of a mix camp. We both have the AirPods pros and the dogs, so I would say the AirPods pros next to the bases. These probably do sound the best. They do have active noise-cancelling, and they do come with a little silicone tips new with iOS 14.3. If you actually download that you can update these to have spatial audio which is apple's take on, surround sound.
So as long as you have music that supports that that should now be enabled and that's the same found on their new 550 AirPods maxes. But the key thing I would say about AirPods- and I mentioned this about the Google Pixel buds- is that ecosystem, so once you're in iOS, once you have said an iPhone pairing with air pods is the simplest thing ever and that's kind of the whole mantra with apple once they kind of get you it's hard to leave it's hard to get out of their little bubble. So it's that ease and simplicity. Where apple kind of draws you in yeah, you have to pay the extra apple tax, but I think a lot of people are willing to make that sacrifice if they're already invested but anyways. That has kind of been my roundup and review of some of the best earbuds that we've got here in 2020 I'll leave a full list down below for you guys to check out, and if you check out this video after Christmas, you can probably guarantee all of these will be on sale.
So extra little savings also remember. One of these headphones is going away to one of you, peeps so just remember to sub to the channel, and I hope you guys are just enjoying a very safe, happy holidays and I will catch the rest of you in one of my next AIDS, which will hopefully be one of my last ones of 2020. , we'll catch you guys, then peace.
