My previous pair of earbuds were a generic pair of Nokia buds that came with the phone, and one of the earbuds broke so it’s not really a pair anymore. My other point of comparison is a pair of AirPods and the Beats Studio Buds+, the former sounding okay with the latter sounding a bit worse than the Nokia bud, albeit it’s much more comfortable.

The Chu 2 sounds much clearer than the AirPods and a million times better than the Nokia buds. It can also get much louder too, which is interesting. I also think the Chu 2 looks nice, and I like the transparent cable.
