Hello, in 2023, I have tried over 100 pairs of earphones. Following 2022, I have prepared for the earphone review in 2023. I select the best earphone products at the end of each month and wireless earphones are the content that our subscribers like the most and show consistent interest in on our channel. Therefore, I have selected the top 10 earphones from January to December 2023. Instead of announcing them in order from 1st to 10th, I plan to select the best products by category. Most of the earphones selected will be ones that I have tried at least once. Since the rankings include a lot of my subjective opinions, please watch them for fun. Let's get started right away. Once again, one of the QCY earphones, the QCY HT 07, has been selected for the top list. If you watch the HT 07 ceremony...

The QCY HD 07 was a cost-effective earphone that could be purchased for around 20,000 won, even with ANC provided. Moreover, it had the most comfortable fit among all the HT series earphones. The size was reduced, and the grip of the case improved, enhancing portability and storage, making it a versatile product to carry around. The sound quality was decent for the price, the call quality was also satisfactory, and the noise cancelling had reached a usable level, making it worth the purchase. However, apart from the price, there are still some shortcomings in terms of sound quality and ANC. For a detailed review, please refer to the previous video I uploaded. Overall, considering the price, design, comfort, and overall aspects, I believe the QCY HD 07 is the best model of cost-effective earphones with noise cancelling. For your information, the second place goes to the successor of the T13, the cost-effective earphone T1X, priced at 15,000 won.

A new earphone has been released, and the third place went to the fully open-type earphone QCY T22 with 90,000 sales, showing a high level of interest. When I thought about it, it was an indicator of high interest in it. Even though efforts were made to discover other brands of earphones and many videos were uploaded, they did not attract as much attention as QCY did. In 2024, we will explore many more cost-effective products. I asked our subscribers a few days ago about the best earphones from Muty, and based on the feedback from the viewers who usually leave the most comments on the videos, I selected them. The first one is the Anchor A40. We also conducted a first-come, first-served event on our channel, and many people would have purchased it at a significant discount during the AliExpress sale. As of the filming date, it is available for purchase at around 100,000 won.

Even when I reviewed it before, I was satisfied with these earphones, but after trying various other earphones recently and then using them again, they are still good. In short, this hexagonal model has a good overall balance from build quality, codec support, clear sound quality, ANC, portability, to price. Personally, I often use the A40 when I want to carry something light around. From design to sound and call quality, Anchor's cost-effective complete model. Unlike the previous models that emphasized the high frequency range of Anchor's True Wireless, this product presented a flat yet well-balanced sound. As you may know if you have watched the previous solo review video, the overall quality was also satisfying. Therefore, the Anchor A40 is still a good model to purchase, and for those who want to experience the LDAC codec for less than 100,000 won.

For those looking for a compact size, with added convenience features such as active noise cancelling and multi-point wireless charging, this is a product I often recommend. The second one is the Phil CC Pro 2. Priced around 120,000 won based on shooting, it was a relatively recent video upload. Phil is now known as an intermediate-level brand that can provide satisfactory performance even in flagship products. The unique design different from other earphones was impressive, and the product was well-packed with various features for its price range. Therefore, the satisfaction level of the sound quality was high. It demonstrated excellent sound quality that could compete with most flagship earphones, with high satisfaction in active noise cancelling and ambient sound listening functions. Recently, earphones supporting DAC are available from each brand.

The product has been released, especially the Phil CC Pro 2 had a unique design and an aluminum body with good build quality. In addition, it has decent active noise canceling and AGC support. If you are looking for wireless earphones with a solid performance and well-rounded specs for the price, I recommend this product. The model chosen as the best in terms of performance and specs is the Sony WF 1000x Mark 5. If you want to experience the top-level ANC, I think this is the product to consider. For more detailed information about the specs, please refer to the detailed review video. Although there weren't groundbreaking improvements compared to the previous model, it was a product with overall improvements in build quality, software performance, sound quality, call quality, noise canceling, and convenience features. Above all, the ANC performance I've experienced recently.

Among them, you can consider it as a model that shows the best quality. So, if you have a generous budget to invest in earphones, it's a good choice. On the other hand, there are some drawbacks. Compared to the earphones introduced earlier, the price is somewhat high, around 300,000 won. Additionally, you need to be aware of the replacement cycle of the foam tips. To experience the best noise-canceling performance, it's recommended to use Sony's genuine foam tips. These foam tips, unlike regular ones, need to be replaced periodically. However, since the foam tips are not cheap, costing around 20,000 won, you should also consider the maintenance cost of replacing the foam tips. Of course, despite these shortcomings, it is a product that is quite attractive compared to products like AirPods or Galaxy Buds. It has decent sound quality and outstanding noise-canceling performance.

Therefore, I still recommend my product. By the way, the products that unfortunately were not selected are Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Apple AirPods Pro 2. Even without much explanation, you would know that this product has good overall performance including sound quality and ANC. Furthermore, if you are a Galaxy smartphone user, you can enjoy compatibility and convenience by choosing Buds 2 Pro, and if you are an iPhone user, AirPods Pro 2 offers the same ecosystem for convenience features. So, if you are not very interested in earphones and have to choose just one, I highly recommend Buds 2 Pro or AirPods Pro 2. Next, there are two unique design best products for 2023. First, the iriver Mickey Player, which can be purchased for around 56,000 won. This is the only one among my selected rankings that I haven't personally tried, due to its design.

I really wanted to purchase it, but I refrained from buying it because it's a product with a good design for the same reason. If you were born in the 80s or 90s, you would know this. It's a remake of that legendary player from the time when Soribada was famous, where you could transfer MP3 files and listen to music. It has been newly released as Bluetooth wireless earphones. I also remember wanting this for a long time in the past and really enjoying it after purchasing. For those who know this product, it is an emotional product that reminds you of that time. However, there are drawbacks such as the dissatisfaction with the external design. It has a small size with a 6mm driver and limited codec support, which leaves something to be desired in terms of specifications, and the reviews from buyers are not that great. Still, with just the design alone, it is a product that still tempts me to make a purchase. If there are more than 10 related comments about this product, I will separately.

I will purchase it and make a review video. Next is the SoundPEATS Capsule 3 Pro Transparent Edition. It is available in two colors, black and white. The price range is around 60,000 won, while the opaque regular model is available for 45,000 won. Just like when NACIN released a transparent phone from a non-transparent phone, SoundPEATS has released transparent earphones. You can consider the Capsule 3 Pro as a special edition product. As you may know if you have watched the review, the Capsule 3 Pro had excellent performance at an affordable price, providing high cost-effectiveness. It supports Hi-Res audio and aptX codec, ensuring excellent sound quality. The ANC function at the level of 43dB was outstanding, and the overall quality was decent. Most importantly, despite offering all these features, you can purchase it for around 40,000 to 60,000 won, so in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is a very good model.

You can choose to see it as you like because transparent design can be a matter of personal preference. If you dislike such unique design, you can choose a cheaper opaque regular model. Next, let's meet two products that are comfortable to wear. Canal-type earphones tend to vary greatly depending on the shape of the person's ears, so I have selected two open-type products. Of course, the comfort of open-type earphones may vary for each person, so please keep in mind personal preferences and watch. The first one is the Galaxy Buds Live earphones. I introduced it as the earphones I used the most last year, and many people empathized with it. However, there are also some who criticize it occasionally. It is a product that receives a lot of love from enthusiasts, but there are not many moderate opinions; it can be seen as a product with extreme feelings. It is used as a sub earphone.

It's a product that shows its true value when used. If you set up touch blocking, it's perfect for watching YouTube or listening to music briefly. The Galaxy Buds Live has a somewhat unique way of wearing them. The wearing comfort may vary from person to person, but for me, it was the most comfortable in terms of not hurting my ears even after wearing them for a long time and not falling off easily. Also, since there is no ear hook, it was especially nice to lie down in bed and watch YouTube. Actually, compared to other products, the sound quality and call quality are not outstanding. However, considering that I have so many earphones, in the end, I tend to use the most comfortable earphones when wearing them. Since I use a Galaxy phone, the convenience of the Buds Live goes without saying in terms of connectivity, operation, and compatibility. And in terms of the release price.

Right now, the discounts are high, so it's a good product to buy. I recommend this to Samsung smartphone users looking for open-type earphones. The second one is the SoundPEATS AirPods Lite. As of the shooting date, it's available for around 50,000 won. It's a product for the second half of 2023 from SoundPEATS, and we recently uploaded a review video, so please refer to the channel's video for detailed tests. Firstly, as the name suggests, it's a product that was released lightly, so it was very comfortable to wear among open-type earphones. The feeling of being slightly put on the ears was especially good when worn for a long time. Moreover, it supports codecs in the 50,000 won range, so you can listen to high-resolution audio. Considering the decent build quality, convenience features, sound quality, call quality, and price, if you think about it, it's an attractive earphone.

If you watch the video I reviewed before, the Air 4 and Airpods Lite are divided depending on the codec and ANC. If you are interested in this product, please take a look at the single review video once. For those who don't have time, I recommend choosing the Airpods Lite that I recommend. So, to summarize, it is an earphone that not only feels comfortable to wear but also delivers good sound and call quality performance. For those who felt burdened by high-priced open-type earphones like Airpods and wanted to experience LDAC codec at a reasonable price, for those who were looking for earphones in the upper-grade line rather than QCY earphones, and for those who were looking for earphones that are open-type but provide rich bass sound. If people like this use it, it will be a product that can be used with high satisfaction. Next, let's meet the best two models with excellent cost-effectiveness below 100,000 won.

I'll introduce the first one, QCY T13X. I still think it's the best earphones in the 10,000 won range. The video we uploaded on our channel received very positive feedback. Among the earphones released by QCY, it was a decent model that made it into the top 5. For more details, please refer to the review video. Let me briefly present the specs in a table. QCY's cost-effectiveness has always been good, but the details such as sound quality and call quality were a bit lacking. However, they have improved in those aspects a lot. First of all, the sound quality has become more solid and the spatial feel has improved. Especially in the high-frequency range, the details have improved. In the previous model T13, the low-frequency impact was good, but there was some stuffiness in the high-frequency range. In T13X, that stuffiness in the high-frequency range is gone, and the separation of vocals and instruments has also improved compared to the previous model.

Furthermore, the T13X call quality has also improved. It was at a level where you could make calls not only in quiet environments but also in places like subways or construction sites. If you can only make a purchase in the tens of thousands of won range, I would evaluate it as a masterpiece that stands out in the QCY lineup. The second cost-effective model is the Baseus M2S ANC wireless earphones. Recently, if you look at the products we reviewed on our channel, there are many cost-effective earphones in the fifty thousand won range. So, if you are not sensitive to sound quality and do not aim to listen to high-quality sound sources, it is sufficient to enjoy them lightly even at a price below fifty thousand won. First of all, the unique design of the M2S, excellent build quality, and clean sound quality for the price were advantages. Above all, the ANC function was excellent. I listed a series of earphones below 100,000 won for comparison.

Even if you watch it, it showed excellent ANC performance that can be recognized as a top earphone model among those priced below 50,000 won, especially for those looking for good noise-canceling earphones. If you value sound quality and ANC, you will be very satisfied with this product. For those who want to maximize the ANC function in noisy environments, such as on their way to work or school, and for those looking for another cost-effective earphone instead of QCY, I recommend it. So, today, we met these ten best products. What do you think is the number one product in 2023? Since the criteria for selection may vary from person to person, it would be fun to freely share your opinions in the comments. This video ends here, and as for a perfect product in the world.

Since it's not there, please watch the video and carefully consider according to your taste and budget. The choice is always yours. I hope you make a rational purchase today as well. I'll say goodbye, hoping you find a great deal today. Thank you.
