Before you are the greatest Bluetooth earphones on the planet today. For most people, the need to have all four is just unneeded and ridiculous. For earphone addicts, the top four are needed so that they are never bored or lose the ability to test. Having all these at my disposal (attempted to sale but unsuccessfully) has been a headache of mine after understanding that too many options stresses me.
But the silver lining has always been having the ability to change up to keep things exciting. But with my last pick, the Noble Rex5, I decided not to continue to the same routines and stick to that one only for at least 1 year. And most people believed that this meant that the Noble Rex5 was the absolute best at all things…but it wasn’t. Things like the Az100 and the devialet Gemini 2’s really have no reason not to be someone’s endgame.
The Gemini 2 specifically, outside of a battery life of 5 hours only with no off mode(only ANC/hear thru.), has no weakness and truly could be considered by some as the best sounding period(has unmatched bass that not even the Rex5 reaches and even more details), even over the Rex5. Even the comfort is off the charts, with maybe some people not liking the look in your ears. The touch controls also are the VERY BEST ever placed on a Bluetooth. So accurate and able to pick up on very soft touches.
And then there is the Az100 which has no weakness. The sound is dynamic, impactful, detailed with some of the very best timbre and tonality in Bluetooth. But they don’t stop there but deliver 10hours+ on a single charge. The only thing that continues to keep them off my ears is the comfort. Even though this version is smaller it contains the same hump for the concha of the ear that is just always a little more bulky than my ears like feeling for too long.
And of course we have the PI8, deemed by most as the best sounding Bluetooth ever(I don’t agree though). It has the transmission case that nobody has but their brand. They are small and comfortable. And even though I still have a problem with their battery drainage issues, lack of meaningful working ANC and lag in the touch controls. I still can’t deny that they are the loudest on the market if you are into that. They have OK battery life if you manage to use them before they drain from none use and they have OK transparent modes.
The bottom line is that there are no real universal losers here. Someone will find endgame attributes on these earphones. So people can pick without wondering if they made a mistake for the most part. It’s just a great time to be into audio.
