Which non-Apple earbuds work best with ? Apple software is pushing me away from their products.

I was listening to my new AirPods. I took one out and didn’t remember where I set it. Find My could not find it. It was in the same room STILL PLAYING MUSIC but it wouldn’t connect to Find My. All their software is like that in some way now. Kinda saddening.

@jeremydebose To be honest I use the aftershokz bone induction headsets. Paired pretty well and it doesn't block my other hearing. (If you want to block out ambient noise then this of course will not work for you)

@ariaflame thanks. I definitely need noise cancellation. I got block life out sometimes 😂

@WiteWulf awesome, thanks. I’d been looking at Sony Wf1000 until I’d read a review saying Apple using a different codec(I think) from Sony hurt the audio quality. I might still go back to Sony

@jeremydebose the WF1000 is undeniably a better sounding pair of earbuds. But a lot of that is down to them supporting LDAC, which is a proprietary Sony lossless audio codec you can’t use on Apple kit. They also do better noise cancellation, but cost ~3x as much as the C700N buds 😀

@jeremydebose also worth mentioning that Apple devices don’t currently support *any* lossless codecs over Bluetooth, despite having a lot of lossless content on Apple Music.
