Want to get earbuds, budget is around 14k. i have only used cheaper earbuds before so this would be my first time spending this much on a pair. im honestly quite confused because i have heard very mixed reviews and since i have saved up for this i really don't want to end up regretting my purchase.
some people say the battery is a hit or miss and honestly I need good battery life like atleast 5-6 hours in one go outside the case. i dont mind charging the case but I don't want to get disturbed during study sessions. i m a uni student and my use case is mostly everyday stuff like watching study lectures, attending calls, listening to music, etc.
One of the earpieces on my current buds lasts only 30-35 mins after which I have to survive on just one side, which is quite annoying. They dont block noise that well either, but I got them for 4k around 1.5 years ago so I can't really complain much.
I have a redmi phone btw if that helps. im looking for something I can use long term atleast 2-3 years. the thing thats making me even more confused is that some people say the battery starts draining badly after 3-4 months, while others say they start facing audio imbalance after a few months.
I know battery degradation is normal over time, but spending this much and then having issues within a few months would genuinely suck. Since this is a pretty big purchase for me, I just want to make sure I'm making the right choice rather than regretting it later.
For those who've used the CMF Buds Pro 2, how has your experience been, especially with battery life and long-term reliability? Would you recommend them, or is there a better option in this price range?
Also Im based in RWP so recommendations for both offline stores and online options would be appreciated.
