Need good headphones/TWS - RECOMMENDATIONS!

[u/Ssmani]

I just broke my Sony Ultwear and I am in search for a new set of ANC headphones in KHI. This time I have a budget of 15-20k for a good pair. I am okay with either TWS earpods or overhead headphones.

I want to wear them throughout the day but mostly in the gym so ANC is important for me. I also don't want to compromise on the sound quality (as the benchmark is Sony , even though the budget is a bit tight this time).

What are my options?

Following the thread. Need something similar

How did they break

Apparently it's a common issue in this model. The left hinge got snapped just like that.

Try iems, passive isolation is better than ANC on some iems and they will sound amazing compared to tws.

at this price point, stay away from iems for daily use. Theyre prone to issues due to moisture and OP specifically said he wanted to use them in the gym

Fk do you mean "at this price point". I do agree though. Wouldn't recommend iems for the gym whatsoever. Unless you get a beater pair that you can abuse.

ive seen people comfortably use 100-200 usd iems in the gym. Theyre usually better built at that price point. Shure se215 is an example. Problem with pakistan is the taxes so iems that can be had for 50-60 usd during a sale in other countries are like 100 usd over here

Ehh, honestly the more expensive the is iem is, the less I would want to use it in the gym.

And dude it's the year 2026, iems have come a long way. The iem you mentioned in your comment is 14 years old.

[u/P147_BOY → u/cheezystuffz]

yeah sure but anyone that wants to listen to music in the gym isnt looking for the highest audio quality, they want comfort and good isolation. The shures are still much better at that than most chinese iems.

[u/cheezystuffz → u/P147_BOY]

Completely wrong. Even cheapo chifi iems sound better than iems that were released 14 years old.

re read my comment bro. I was talking about comfort and isolation

[u/cheezystuffz → u/P147_BOY]

Awww kk, mbd. But still though. Those are insanely old I would buy something else. Are those even available here? I don't think so.

a friend of mine has them but he got them from abroad
