No mention about audio latency? I've only tried two other pairs before and the full second+ delay between audio and visual made them completely unsuitable for anything other than audio-only use.
The 7 Best Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - Spring 2024: Reviews
The best wireless earbuds we've tested are the Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless. These earbuds boast a new design and improved sound compared to their predecessor, the Sony WF-1000XM4 Truly Wireless.

Rtings is one of these now just about legacy website that is really about methodology.
Their current stance is that the Samsung WF1000- M5 Truely Wireless are the best in class at ~$300, the Airpod Pros 2 are the best at around $200, the pixels are the best at $100. Pretty close to what I've been hearing.

I forgot to mention my wife got a free pair of pixel buds when she got her phone and gave them to me, but I didn't like them as they kept falling out of my ears
I might look into the Galaxy ones

I don't think I ever have them above 80% or it starts hurting. I'm sure you remember to do this, but I've had issues before where earwax was lowering the volume by a lot
I keep them cleaned up yah. It's really just a night and day difference in output between the Pixel A buds and a variety of other Bluetooth and plug-in earbuds I've used/compared them to using the same device (Pixel 6). I've tried messing with various audio-related dev settings on the phone but no difference.
It's not the end of the world but I will find myself in instances where I need it be louder and it's a no-go, like on a quieter audiobook recording when out mowing the lawn or something, where with other earbuds I'd be able to make it work.
Hey, it's yr money lol round up and then buy refurb'd. My point stands.
The free Pixel Buds Pro that came with my Pixel 8 have been great so far. I've always been super particular about ever picking up earbuds because of bluetooth lag, and have seeked out shit with APTX-LL codecs and whatnot... but I really just use the Pixel Buds for things where that doesn't matter, phone calls, listening to music, youtube where it can already compensate for audio lag, etc. In those regards they've worked just fine.
💯 I will stan Bluetooth anything when I can compose music with it on a Hackintosh. Or catch-up to anything that has a 3.5mm input.
+1.
On the earbuds vs. earphones point, I always take "earbud" to mean an in-ear wireless headphone. Headphones are wired.
Then you get wireless headphones which I always read as over-ear headphones.
Inconsistent, but seems straightforward to me.
I find the universal issue with earbuds isn't the quality of the earbud itself, but the quality of the silicon tips, which are pretty much shit across the board.
Yeah that's a tip problem, not an earbud problem.
You probably need a set of these, regardless of what you're using.
And even then, they fall apart pretty quickly.

Galaxy Buds FE are the only ones I've tried that actually stay in my ears. I wear em all day at work and they're fantastic. Airpods and all the others that use the same design either fall out or get pushed out if I yawn or want to eat something with them in.
Sony and Bose buds seem to look similarly designed and I'm sure there's others.

Get some Airpods Pro for your Android.
Works well on my Pixel 6 Pro, but you're forced to have any iOS device or Mac if you want to update them...
...On a second thought, the Pixel Buds Pro could be a better fit

Sure, but prior to wireless in-ear buds I would never have referred to them as "earbuds", or had ever really heard them referred to that way.
WIred in-ear headphones were always just "headphones". Wasn't until wireless buds became commonplace that it really caught on here, but now yes in ear are buds, over ear are phones.
If they're gonna end up in the trash anyway due to unreplaceable batteries? Might as well pass that baby forward lol
I can't, with good conscience, pay for ear speakers that will die in 2 or 3 years and have worse sound quality than something wired at the same price point.
I have these for my s20+ Galaxy. They've treated me well.
