Status Between 3ANC Onyx True Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds - Black iPhone & Android ANC in Ear Buds, Charging Case, Built-in 6 Microphones, 8H Playtime, Bluetooth 5.2, IPX5 Waterproof

I'm a bit of an earbud/headphone junkie, having about a dozen pair. Some of the brands include Sony, Master & Dynamic, Bowers & Wilkins, Samsung, Bose, etc. These have taken the top spot for me, and here's why... Pros: - They are loud. Max volume on these exceeds any of my other earbuds and most of my headphones. - The bass is booming. It's deep and full. Very satisfying, especially if you tweak the EQ. - The EQ is robust. It really does allow you to change the sound scope dramatically. - It connects to 2 devices. Super convenient! I don't have to do anything special to go back and forth between my phone and my iPad. I previously used to carry two sets of earbuds because of this! - The ANC is actually good! I expected the active noise cancelling to just be ok. No, it's actually good. They do a really good job of putting you in your own world. I took them on a plane this past weekend. They delivered impressively. The ANC plus the volume mean you will not hear a thing around you. And yes, the ANC alone is good, even w/o using volume to drown out noise. I've used them at my local lounge and they kill a rather significant amount of outside sound. - You can switch between ANC and transparency mode with a push of the button on the earbuds. You don't have to open an app or go through a menu of touch/swipe controls. Very convenient. - The battery lasts all day, even with ANC on. I don't own a single pair of earbuds that will last an entire workday w/o needing to be recharged. These do! Very convenient/useful. - Despite the somewhat unusual design, they fit well in my ears and stay in place, even at the gym. I constantly have to readjust my other earbuds to put them back into position but not these. - These earbuds would be worth the price at $250-$300, but I got them on sale at $130. That's a killer deal. Even if you get them at the normal price of $180 you still getting your money's worth and won't be disappointed. Cons: - They aren't the coolest looking earbuds you'll ever see. They probably aren't the best choice in a professional setting. Every picture in the advertisements show people from the side. When you put them on and look at yourself from the front you'll see they stick out from your ears further than normal earbuds. But frankly that's the ONLY con I have for this product and it's not a deal-breaker in the least. You get so much else from this product.

I'm a bit of a weird one. As in, I'm a mildly autistic audiophile with ADHD, OCD, and I've developed a particular hyper-fixation on TWS-style products over the last few years as they've grown in prominence. Anyway, I've both tried and personally own several pairs of earbuds/headphones/etc. At the moment, I have: (These Between3 ANCs) Airpods Pro (2nd Gen) OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Galaxy Buds FE Pixel Buds A-Series JBL Tune Buds Soundcore Space A40s JLab Go Pop ANCs And the Soundcore Life Q30 over-ear headset I have to at least explain the fact that each audio product on that list has usually been used for a specific purpose and that purpose only (for example, the $30 JLabs are my "throwaway" earbuds that I wouldn't feel as devastated if I lost them vs, say, my AirPods or Galaxy Buds FE). Anyway, I'd seen the ads all over social media and beyond when it came to the Between3 ANCs. Naturally I didn't give them much thought at first, but I did hear out their sales pitch of having multiple drivers inside these vs your typical single 2-way woofer or dual driver design (like the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have). Having a dedicated speaker/driver for not just mids/bass and treble, but all THREE? I will admit I was intrigued. Unfortunately at the time I could not afford their initial asking price of nearly $200 after tax, and I was also a bit hesitant given what little presence the company seemingly had. Fast forward 2 years & my friend and I were discussing our favorite earbuds and listing all of the reasons why. Somewhat ironically, he mentioned the Between3 ANCs despite not even owning a pair lol. He'd just recently tried them out at the time via a mutual friend who did have them, and he was so impressed that the experience had stuck with him. And keep in mind, this is a guy who's equally weird/autistic like me with an INSANELY picky preference for audio quality and fidelity. He couldn't stop raving about them, and I had mentioned knowing about them vaguely and having been interested in them a while back. Well, through both his obnoxious attempts of persuasion (and my own curiousity having finally peaked) I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet. I figured the worst thing that could happen is I'd just return them if I didn't like them enough. As if that was ever going to be a genuine possibility lol. The Between3 ANCs are EVERY BIT as good as everyone else (including the company behind them) says they are. The bass is powerful, full, but not muddy or incessant. The mids are equally as powerful, and make their presence known without overstepping the highs/treble. Which even said treble too is clear, crisp, and the cherry on top of what I consider to be an incredibly well balanced soundstage that absolutely NAILS the 3 main aspects of what makes music sound good. I absolutely love them. Before, I was torn between my AirPods Pro Gen 2 and OnePlus Buds Pro 2 with trying to decide which one sounded better/the most balanced to me. The former is just one of those "take them out of the case and just enjoy" whereas the latter just needs a tiny bit of tuning (and a OnePlus device to enable their LDHC codec for lossless audio) to achieve a fairly impressive sound. The Between3 ANCs are like both of them put together, and the best part is they work just as well on iOS as they do on Android. So they're truly THE earbuds to use for all of the things you could want to use them for. Discord chats and phone calls are fantastic; everyone always says the mic quality is top notch and background noise is non-existent (even if there's a lot going on in the background that SHOULD be able to be heard by others). Battery life is arguably one of the most important factors for me aside from the sound quality when it comes to a pair of TWS earbuds, and the Between3 ANCs deliver on that front flawlessly. The claimed 12-hours on a single charge on the earbuds themselves (with no ANC or ambient mode enabled) is spot on. And for earbuds that can produce this kind of sound quality, that is insane. By comparison, my AirPods Pro Gen 2 will only get 8 hours at best with no fancy stuff turned on, while the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 get closer to 9-10 give or take. The Galaxy Buds FE are around roughly 8-9 hours, with the Space A40s netting 10 hrs & the Tune Buds about 12 hrs respectively. The JLabs and Pixel Buds sit at the bottom of the pack with a meager 7 hrs and 5-6 hrs respectively (and the Pixel Buds don't even have ANC or ambient mode). So for the Between3 ANCs to offer the sound quality, multi-point connectivity (also a must have for me), AND have ANC + ambient mode with such long battery life is just hard to not be satisfied with. The last thing I'll cover is the recently mentioned ANC and ambient mode. They are good, but they're not "great". I used to think AirPods were overhyped at every turn, but after having owned the 2nd Gen Pros I cannot deny their supremacy in both ANC and transparency/ambient mode. Even with the Between3 ANCs in consideration, nothing I have owned/tested/compared has been able to surpass the level of quiet using ANC with a proper seal in your ear. Same with the transparency; the AirPods are so good in that regard it literally makes it seem as if there's not even an earbud in your ear (not to mention they were deemed good enough to be a legally acceptable alternative to hearing aids). Still, that doesn't take anything away from the Between3 ANCs. Their ANC is still more than sufficient to get the job done and enhance your listening experience in a noisy area (or if you just want to drown out the world entirely when you're alone and it's already quiet to begin with). And their ambient mode works well enough to where you don't have to take the buds out of your ears to have a conversation or be aware of surroundings when out in public. They're also very comfortable thanks to the ergonomic curvature just passed the silicone tip, which helps keep it seated in your ear for long periods without causing any soreness. If I had any complaint AT ALL, it'd be that I originally joked about the Between3 ANCs looking like Juul pods lol. But looks aside, the build quality is exquisite and comprised of premium materials. And the practical factor of this design having allowed Status to pack 3 total drivers and hefty battery cells into each earbud is enough to make me not care too much about how it reminds me of a Juul pod. I just wish they'd have at least given the charging case a little bit more love, because as it is currently I am weary a good drop or two on solid concrete will make short work of the hinge (or chip/scuff it to oblivion). Hopefully we'll get a successor model, maybe even with a metal hinge (like AirPods use) and a more resilient material for the rest of the case that's not matte plastic (which is prone to scratches and scuffs, so when those start showing up on mine I won't be super caught off guard). All in all, these are a MUST HAVE if you need TWS earbuds with extremely long battery life (either for long calls or just listening to stuff while working a 8 hr+ shift at work), you want AMAZING sound quality with real bass, mids, and highs that don't bleed over onto one another (therefore ruining the balance in sound), and you can live with the somewhat lackluster quality of the charging case. I promise you won't regret it, even if you only aim to buy them to use for something highly specific. For me I tend to leave them at home to use with my gaming PC + my phone thanks to multi-point, mainly because I don't want them to get lost or damaged. But if they were the only pair I had, I'd take them everywhere because yes, they're THAT good (which can't be said for ALL of the ones I listed previously). The price can be a bit steep, so if that's the only big thing holding you back then I'd recommend waiting for them to go on sale (right now they're only $150 vs $180 if I recall). Don't let the design of the earbuds turn you away though! These are fantastic! And their companion app is on both iOS and Android and you get the same experience regardless of which phone you use!

A very good set of earbuds. Battery life is good, noise cancelling is quite effective, case has a nice small profile and charges quickly. The included eartip and fit-wing options helped me get a good fit that stays in even during exercise. The default EQ was not to my liking, but after switching the profile in the app, I got one that worked and the sound quality is definitely great. My only gripe is the ambient pass-through mode - it works well, but there is noticeable white noise that detracts from the experience, and the lack of a noise-cancelling-and-transparency-off mode is sometimes disappointing.

between proを3年ほど使用し、バッテリーがヘタッたのか右側だけボリュームが異常に小さくなったため、between 3ancに乗り換えました。 主にiPhoneで音楽を聴く、仕事PCでMTGをする際に使用。 ・ノイズキャンセルモード ノイズキャンセルを初めて体験したので「それは当然のこと」と思われるかもしれませんが、すごい。エアコンや強めに回しているサーキュレーターの音が聞こえず、それらをつけているのを忘れる。キッチンの換気扇はキッチンに立つと微かに聞こえるがキッチンから少し離れると聞こえなくなるほど。 ・外音取り込み(トランスペアレンシー)モード 外音取り込みを初めて体験したので「それは当然のこと」と思われるかもしれませんが、面白い。コンビニやスーパーなどの対面レジでのやり取りが音楽を流したまま行えるほど。歩いていると自分の足音が耳元で無闇に聴こえてくるので音を拾いすぎな気もする。 ・音質 デフォルトではbetween proの聴こえ方のほうが好みでした。スマートフォンアプリを使うとサウンドモードを切り替えられます。 【status signature】 between proより高音低音ともにクリア。クリアな分、あまり圧は感じない。低音が控えめ？ 【status audiophile】 これが初期設定。おそらくフラット。全体的に弱い。アプリで操作できないとこれしか選択肢がない。 【original between pro】 between proと同じ聴こえ方ですよってモードなのかもしれないがbetween proより軽い。signatureよりは圧がある。高音が抑えめなのか音が丸く感じる。 【custom】 主にこれをM字設定(スクショ参照)で使用。設定できる周波数は 31Hz / 73Hz / 176Hz / 423Hz / 1K / 2.4K / 5.8K / 14K これのおかげでbetween proとはまた違った好みの音になりました。 ・Bluetooth接続 接続自体はしやすい。少し厄介なところは、マルチポイント機能ありなので接続設定しているiPhoneとPCの両方に同時に繋がるがどちらからも音声が再生されていると混線したかのようにどちらの音声もブツ切れになる(再生優先順位がない)。どちらかのデバイスのBluetoothをオフにするしかないです。 ※これはどうやら現在のファームウェア由来のものだそうです。 ・操作感 悪い。タッチ操作の感度が微妙で、右側ダブルタッチで次の曲にしたかったのにシングルタッチ扱いになって再生/停止してしまう、タッチホールドで音量調整したがホールドの間隔がよくわからず急に爆音になったりシングルタッチ扱いになって再生/停止してしまう、物理ボタン操作時に誤ってタッチしてしまうなどがあります。 between proの物理ボタンのみの操作が使い勝手良かったと私は感じています。 ・バッテリー この部分でbetween 3ancに乗り換えるべきか、between proをリピートすべきか迷いました。 between proの購入時は「見た目とバッテリーの長さで選んだら音質もめちゃくちゃ良かった！ラッキー！」みたいな感じだったので、正直「4時間もバッテリー時間削ってまでノイズキャンセル機能が欲しいか？？見た目はほぼ同じ、音質は聴いてみなきゃわからない(しかも試聴できたとしてもアプリがないと設定変えられないしデフォルト設定だと良さがわからない)のにバッテリー犠牲にできるか？？」という感じです。 じゃあどうして購入したの？と思うかもしれませんね。私自身、何か決め手があったのですがよく覚えていません。 環境にもよると思いますが、日中の自室(賑やかな商店街が目の前)でノイズキャンセルをオンにして音楽を30分再生したところ左95%、右97%のバッテリー表示になったので約10時間は再生できそうです。 ・最後に 外音取り込み機能、Bluetooth接続、操作感について否定的な意見をした部分は全て使用者が使用しているうちに慣れば取り返せる部分ですし、私は慣れていくつもりなので大満足しています。

After spending time with the Status Between Pro True Wireless Earbuds, I can confidently say these are some of the most impressive earbuds I’ve used—especially at their price point. Sound Quality: What immediately sets these apart is the clarity and detail in the sound. You’re not just hearing your music—you’re experiencing layers. The mids are rich, highs are crisp without being harsh, and the bass is present without overwhelming the rest of the mix. Unlike the AirPods Pro, which rely heavily on software tricks to create an “okay” soundstage, the Between Pros deliver genuinely balanced, audiophile-level performance out of the box. Bluetooth & Connectivity: The Bluetooth signal is strong and consistent. I’ve had zero dropouts, stutters, or lag during my daily use—a far cry from the AirPods Pro, which have their fair share of quirks and bugs, often requiring a full reset or replacement to fix. Battery Life: The battery life is incredible. I’ve gone several days without having to recharge the case, and the buds themselves can handle extended listening sessions without breaking a sweat. For commuters, travelers, or anyone always on the go, this is a huge plus. Fit & Comfort: The fit is also exceptional, with multiple ear tips provided for a custom seal. The earbuds stay locked in during workouts or long walks, making them dependable even for active users. That said, I did struggle a bit with the right earbud not sealing perfectly—though I chalk this up to the unique shape of my ear canal, not the product itself. Call Quality: Where the Between Pro really surprised me was call quality. My voice comes through louder and clearer than it ever did on my AirPods Pro, and people on the other end consistently notice the improvement. Build Quality & Case: Now, the case quality isn’t anything special—a little on the flimsy side—but let’s be honest, even my AirPods Pro case feels cheap. No one seems to be getting this right, and at least the Between Pro case gets the job done without major issues. Final Verdict: For the price, the Status Between Pro are an incredible value. You’re getting sound and performance that competes with—and in many ways surpasses—more expensive flagship earbuds. They’re not perfect, but their strengths easily outweigh any minor shortcomings. If you value real audio quality, reliable connectivity, and great call performance, these are very hard to beat. Rating: 5/5

I like my music and have bought a variety of headphones and buds over the years. Simply out. These are amazing. For the price they just pack a punch. Compared to my apple buds 2 there’s no contest. Bass response and stereo spread is incredible. Only criticism would be the size of the charging pod. Bit on the large side compared to others but still fits in watch pocket on jeans. Only had them on five. Ons and testing with variety of music. Couldn’t wait to post review. Just amazing.

I bought these for a recent trip as my samsung galaxy pro buds broke. I was very impressed with the sound quality. I couldn't hear any noise inside the cabin but on a busy road maybe blocks out 97% of noise. Battery life is awesome.

The sound quality is petfect
