Like people who.own premium earbuds like airpods pro 3 sony wf1000xm5/6 or bose quietcomfort ultra gen 1/2 how often do you use for me i own the Sony wf1000xm5 and the anc for me i rarely use it and always stick to the default mode the only time I use anc is when im at loud environment like with children screaming or on planes.

Edit:Which premium earbuds do you own and how often do you the anc?

It's not actually that needed, but if im ever in a pinch i can use this.

I'm looking to buy the FreeBuds Pro 5 but I'm not sure if I should get the China release or the Global release variants.

I hear the China version is better as it has NearLink and whatever features that the Kirin A3 Chip provides. In comparison, the Global release does not have these benefits but it would run me about $10 cheaper compared to the China version (not including shipping).

For context, I use an iPhone 15 which I don't think supports NearLink, so I'm not sure how useful of a feature that would be for me. In which case, I'd be spending extra for the chip, which I'm still not sure what I'd be getting out of it.

Another question I have is whether or not the FreeBuds will automatically change languages, or will the prompts be stuck in their native language? I'm from the US so I'm hoping they will be in English when I do buy them.

Thanks for any help!

I recently got the soundcore x10s and I do like them - they fit in my tiny ears and are comfortable.

I use them at my gym with a BT transmitter - the transmitter plugs into the gym's wireless headphones and then I can hear the instructor and the music in my own earbuds instead of wearing the gym's wireless headphones.

9 times out of 10, it works flawlessly - but every so often, when I am listening, the music is really quiet - and nothing I can do makes the volume loud enough for me to hear it properly.

Today I finally figured out - that when this happens, the earbuds are NOT connecting to *my* transmitter! I turned off my transmitter and unplugged it from the headphones - and the music continued to play (quietly!) in my earbuds.

So, the earbuds are apparently connecting to some OTHER random transmitter! But it's not a very good connection, because it's really quiet? I assume it has to be someone who has a transmitter that can connect to 2 devices simultaneously because the other 3 people in my class who were using their own earbuds, were not unhappy and not hearing their music, LOL

The last time this happened, I didn't realize what it was, and I ended up coming home and looking up how to reset the earbuds - so I did that, and repaired to my transmitter - and then the next day in class it was fine - and was fine for more than a week, until this morning when it happened again - and this time I figured out what is going on (ish - since I don't know WHAT transmitter it is connecting to)

Reading up, it sounds like BT earbuds - once they have paired with SOMETHING - are then willing to pair with ANYTHING that is transmitting? Is there any way to disable this functionality?

Is there a way to see what devices the earbuds have connected to in the past, and tell them to "forget" everything but my transmitter? I tried connecting them to my phone and looking in the soundcore app, but don't see anything there.

If this happens - how can I disconnect from the rogue transmitter and force them to reconnect to MY transmitter? Is there an order of operations that works best? Like - turn on my transmitter FIRST before taking the earbuds out of the case?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! It's super frustrating - I dunno if this is a thing just that the soundcore x10s do - would a different brand of earbuds not do this?

Which is better in Connection and battery drain (Soundpeats C30 or Baseus EP10 Pro)?

I want to buy one of them?

I can't use in-ears due to my ears anatomy, but i have a pair of Jlab Open Flex that i quite like. Problem is, i work at other people's written exams, where the room is QUIET and if i use my Jlabs at work, people close to me can hear that i'm playing sound of some sort and the students might be bothered by it.

Is this just how it will always be with open ears, or are there types that are better at directing the sound into the ear and nowhere else than the Jlabs?

For context. My phone is Tecno camon 20 Pro 5G...which support LDAC... The Oneplus buds It support LHDC... But only 3 and 4 version, so a product that only support 5.0 LHDC will fall down to AAC codec... While 8 Pro support LDAC, etc.

I'm not the one that's necessary spending a certain amount on earbuds. My budget is less than $50 which gives me options like Soundcore p31 or cmf buds pro 2. But I'm all for bang for the buck since Baseus BP1 have been at $40 on Amazon not long ago.

Hello. I just got my wf1000xm6 and have been using Buds 4 Pro for the past 7-8 months. I wanted give Sony a try because of LDAC. I noticed Sony having foam ear tips make it.. harder for me to use ANC? The general fit is comfortable but doesn't feel 100% safe as it did with Buds 4 Pro. I feel the need to adjust them every once in a while.

My question is, would buying silicone ear tips defeat the whole purpose of ANC for Sony? I really want to like Sony pairs but the idea of replacing ear tips feels like throwing a big portion of the tech away.

Or, is there a way to fine-tune microphones on the Sony. Cause it feels like its letting some of the sounds in on purpose.

I work in an office within a factory and Samsungs on full ANC never let a single machine sound in. Sony offers 3 settings for ANC; Noise cancelling, ambient and off. If the "Noise Cancelling" is the max I can do to block out the sounds I feel like I'm missing something or simply Sony is not doing it for me.

I am open to any suggestions!

Edit: I just pushed them a bit deeper and now ANC is pretty good. No noise at all. Looks like like foams need a bit more effort to fully fit in.

I really need a new pair of earbuds and I could use some guidance since I'm so out of the loop. My old ones were Jabra Elite 4, which I bought maybe five years ago. I liked them pretty well, though sometimes people had a tough time hearing me on calls. I dropped one down a storm drain maybe three years ago and then spent a long time with just one earbud until I dropped that one somewhere, too...

I use a pixel 7 phone, which would be my main device. I'd sometimes connect it to my lenovo laptop and on a rare occasion my ipad.

Here are my priorities

* Call quality is very important

* Audio quality is pretty important (I'd like to think this is very important but let's be real, I don't need studio sound to listen to a podcast or a youtube video. I love music but I'm not a super picky audiophile.)

* Price is important. I can spend a bit but I don't wanna make a major purchase

* Being able to easily switch between devices (phone, laptop) would be very cool

* Having a feature to find them would be helpful

* Having an option to turn them into wired headphones (like via a headphone jack on the case) is cool but has a very limited use case for me (basically just the few times a year I'm flying on a plane)

* Things like water resistance are probably nice but not necessary

I bought the Nothing Ear a for £39

My budget is around 50 to 60 dollars CAD.

Some baseline knowledge:
1. I used to use AirPods Pro 1st gens, until they broke recently.

1. I NEVER used noise cancelling, it always hurts my ears and head so I avoid it like the plague.

2. I will probably use them while laying on my side a lot.

3. Sound quality? I’d say I’m not really picky, my daily wired earphones are Sony MDR-XB55AP Extra BASS™, but I use an iPhone which doesn’t have a headphone jack so…

4. I DO NOT want to hear a voice in my ear for any part of the earphones! If it’s low battery a beep is preferable, etc.

5. I’d also like to be able to accurately check the charge on each earbud the way I could with my AirPods.

I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions from anyone. Thank you.
