Which earbuds are the least bad?

I have heard people praise Sony's WF-1000XM series but apparently the new XM6 are not great, and also they look fucking retarded with how huge they are.
I am also hearing increasingly positive comments about the AirPods Pro, but I am sketpical of the judgement of anyone who has purchased an iPhone, so I wanted to double check.
Galaxy Buds Pro also seem to have improved but they have a reputation for hardware issues.

the galaxy buds 2 pro were good except the noise cancelling gave me this "woman screaming" tinnitus in one ear, but it was my fault for sleeping with them in. comfy tho

XM4s are the last model that were great. The 5s are total ass (these are the Bizarro versions of the 4s, everything great about the 4s suck dick on the 5s) and 6s haven't corrected the shitty fit or battery life (better than the 5s, but still not as quality as the 4s).

Get used 4s if you want Sony BT IEMs.

Man I'd love to get good earbuds but how do people not lose them? It's so easy to misplace one of them or for them to fall out.

>airpods max
my headphones are so girly, they need their own bra!
the case allows those headphones to get real scratched up.

You're the one who is poor with your little tiny headphones.

kek I had to google this. They really released headphones and called them airpods.
>>108562909
soipods have the best mic though. I've tried 8 different ones and they all sound like muffled shit when you're talking except the soipods.

>>108562714
god did not design our ears to have devices inside of them for hours at a time. get over the ear headphones.

I can't, they give me TMJ :(

I have the Buds 3 Pro and honestly I think they're overpriced. However they do phone call quality much better than any other headphones I had. People can actually listen to me on a busy street without it being too muffled and sometimes they can't even tell I'm outside. Battery life is pretty good and their ambient mode or whatever the hell that doesn't fully mute outside sounds while still being clear is actually pretty good
As for the rest though... not amazing sound quality (they need EQ, though at least EQ actually works), no multipoint and fairly laggy when connected to non Samsung products

1.all earbuds look retarded
2. Nobody gives a fuck what you look like

WF-1000XM4 owner here, you're really just paying for the brand+ANC with flagship Sony TWS buds and they honestly don't even sound that good.

Out of the box tuning is a bit dark and muddy for my liking and music sounds noticeably better with ANC on instead of off for some reason. They sound fine enough after an EQ but they do this weird auto EQ thing where they'll adjust the frequency response when you try turning the volume up to a certain level to protect your hearing or some shit. Of course they don't mention this and you can't turn it off so the volume's artificially capped. My $60 Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro+ runs fucking laps around these $200 (I paid $80-$90 used) Sony's if we're talking pure sound quality, but then again the companion app barely works, ANC is nowhere near as good, controls are kind of ass, battery is shit and they look a little tacky.

Wireless earbuds are great if you want to expose your brain to radio waves
