I was going to buy the Ear 2, but the Buds started popping up, and at £38 I thought I’d give them a try. First off, love the vivid orange colour. Also like the ability to customize the touch controls, so you don’t have to remember factory settings. As for the audio, by messing with the EQ, I’ve got the sound the way I like it, it’s very adjustable. I’ve never tried any of the Ear series, but I have to wonder if they can seriously outperform the Buds to the tune of 3 times the price
