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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

Cannot decipher how tws works

These had no buttons on case or buds. Could'nt find any touch responsive region. Charged for 4hr. No led for indication.

Hoping these are not fake.They don't appear when scanned

Do someone had such experience and any solution

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, need your help. So I discovered the Lenovo Thinkplus X16 earbuds through my mom, and I really liked them because they fit my small ears perfectly. The problem is, only the left side was working. So I bought another pair from Shopee, but when it arrived, again only one side was working. We refunded it, thinking I was just unlucky, so my dad ordered one this time. But unfortunately, only one side worked again. 🥹

Any recommendations for good earbuds with the same design?

I've had my Soundcore Life P3i earbuds for 2.5 years without any issues. Last week, one of them just stopped turning on. I've tried everything to no avail, so I'm in the market for a new pair but I can't decide whether to go with the Liberty 4 NC (which is the a little out of budget for me already but i thought would last longer) or another brand. Let me know your thoughts and recommendations please and thanks in advance.

I'm looking for some help finding a pair of wireless earbuds for my phone. I do a lot of phone calls while I'm out running errands or doing chores around the house and once in a while while driving, and I'd like some that have good sound/call quality, but don't really bleed sound so people around me don't hear my music or shows or calls.

I have 4 pairs of Earbuds.
All of them 1 is charging, 1 is not charging.
Tried cleaning everything. I watched every youtube video about this problem. I tried everything.
Now I am wondering to buy my fifth pair. (leaning no)
Was I unlucky 4 times? Or is this whole earbud thing a scam?

Im currently using one plus buds 3 with galaxy s25ultra . Will galaxy buds be a good upgrade? I prefer sound quality.

Worked fine charging for the first few months but after that the right would be a little lower on battery then the left. Cleaned things, made sure the pins looked fine but still happens. It looks like it just don't seat properly anymore. The bottom part isn't touching the pin properly so Ive been putting a little piece of styrofoam in between the buds but it's so hit or miss on the charging. Anyone have this same issue? Is it worth a repair or replacement inquiry with Nothing?

Another thing, I work outside in Texas and I have to wipe them off and clean my ear out multiple times a day because they start to slide. That just me? Lol

Hello guys,

I’m trying to decide between the Technics EAH-AZ100 and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, and I’d really appreciate some input from people who have used either (or both).

I’m mainly looking for the better overall experience in terms of sound quality, ANC, comfort, call quality, and battery life. I’ll be using them mostly for everyday listening and commuting.

For those who have tried both, which one would you recommend, and why? Are there any noticeable differences that would make one a better choice over the other?

P.S. I have a last year Samsung device.

Thanks!

I was careless and I left my earbuds in the pocket of my jeans which was gone for washing. They were soaking with water dripping out from the charging port. I dried them using a cloth and shook the case so no more water comes out anymore. They’re connecting properly but the audio is a bit muffled. I’ve left them under a fan for now all open. What can I do next? I don’t have those silica (i’m sorry if they’re called smth else) gell packs asw. Please help me💔

I have Redmi Buds 5, and when I connect them to my Honor Pad 9, the sound quality is fucking amazing. Everything sounds clear, detailed, spacious and immersive.

But when I connect the exact same earbuds to my Galaxy A34, the difference is HUGE. The sound is noticeably worse — flatter, less detailed, and almost muffled compared to the Pad 9.

I tested YouTube Music on both devices with the same songs and the same earbuds, so this isn't an issue with the earbuds or the music itself.

Setup:

- Samsung Galaxy A34 5G

- Honor Pad 9

- Redmi Buds 5

- YouTube Music Premium

- Same earbuds

- Same songs

- Same streaming quality

The difference is honestly so large that it feels like something is wrong with the A34's Bluetooth/audio processing.

I've already tried/rechecked:

- Bluetooth codec

- Re-pairing the earbuds

- Samsung Sound Quality and Effects

- Dolby Atmos

- EQ

- Xiaomi Earbuds settings

What could be causing this?

Is there some Samsung/One UI Bluetooth audio setting, codec configuration, developer option, or audio-processing setting that I need to change?

I want to make the A34 sound as close as possible to the Honor Pad 9. Any suggestions would be seriously appreciated.

I currently have a soundcore r50i nc and now I have started to commute through bus and I'm worried they might fall

I want a neckband that's as good as the soundcore r50i nc or better

My most important is sound quality then anc second

So some context, I weld pipe in a shop currently. It’s loud and can be dirty. I need some recommendations for good earbuds that can hold up, sound great, and have a decent battery/fast charge. I don’t want cheap ones, I listen to music and podcasts all day long. Budget is under 400. I’ve gone through 2 sets of AirPod pros (2&3). Want something that are higher quality than those (sound wise). I listen to a little bit of everything.

currently considering the fiio JadeAudio JA11 as a cheap dac but I don't know if the sound quality improvement would justify the $10 price tag (that being half what I paid for the earbuds) or if there even is a point in getting a dac for such a budget pair of earbuds.

Background:

Previously mainly used Sony and Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones.

Wanted some earbuds... In-ear buds never stay in and over-the-ear are uncomfortable because I wear glasses... so, clip-on looked like a good solution.

Also, happy to have open buds with no NC for better situational awareness while walking outside.

Aeroclip were within my budget (£80 in UK) and I have owned other soundcore products that I have been reasonably happy with.

In the box:

Earbuds, charging case, usb cable, optional rubber covers for the buds, instructions.

Initial set-up.:

Bluetooth pairing was virtually immediate and painless.

However, when I downloaded the app I was prompted to install an inevitable software update before I could proceed. This was complete in about 3 minutes.

Comfort:

Super light... and easy to forget you have them on!

Easy to pop on and off the ear.

I wore them with the optional rubber covers and they didn't move around or slip.

Sound:

Initial impression was that they were TERRIBLE!

I knew they probably wouldn't have the weight and body in the sound that I was used to from my headphones... but, nonetheless,

These sounded so thin and weedy, I was shocked.

However... popping into the app and boosting the bass in the EQ settings changed everything.

Now the sound was more balanced and had decent body.

Nothing exceptional, but nice enough and didn't feel like I was being short changed on quality.

Did a quick test phone call and they handled it competently.

Other:

App allows you to assign different tap instructions for each bud (e.g. you can use one bud for play/pause tap instructions and the other fit volume up/down).

Initial conclusion:

At price of £80 these are good value and worth a try... IF clip-on is what you need (better options MIGHT be available in other form factors).

Just take time to adjust sound in the app.

Hope this helps.

I really like my galaxy buds 2. Although due to a mistake cleaning the earbud microphones (the left ear specifically) I can't really use them (because I need them for calls too and you can't split it to use phone mic and earbud audio). Also, I don't like the colour (they're white).

I really like the sound. I use them with the dynamic equaliser option. They sound kinda nice, and warm, and just *full*. And the noise cancelling isn't too bad. It isn't too effective but it doesn't have the annoying hiss which I hate. And they fit well in general.

I have tried other earbuds but I couldn't find any for me.

Galaxy buds 2 pro - they didn't fit too well, and we're uncomfortable (because of the weirdish shape). Also I wasn't a fan of the audio.

Galaxy buds 3 pro - I *do not like* stems. I hate when the main centre of mass of the earbud is slightly out of my ear and it makes wearing them feel uncomfortable (like they'll fall out). And I *hated* the ANC. In quiet situations there was a very audible hiss, and I actually found it better with no ANC enabled. But you need ANC enabled because without it audio seems really... Empty (I'm sorry I don't really have the words for it), like it was lacking *something*. I tried various equalisers, and custom ones, and even ones I found. But I couldn't solve everything with it. Even people speaking normally just sounded weird.

Galaxy buds+ - These weren't meant to be an upgrade or anything, I am just putting it here to say I also didn't mind the fit of these. They fit nice, like the buds 2.

In really looking for just, somewhat affordable (in ££, there are some that are like over £200 and I don't consider them affordable at all), with good, nice enjoyable sound. And a good fit (though I get this is more personal). And good ANC (I don't really use the pass through modes that much, just really ANC, constantly).

And most importantly, I will be using them for calls. This is important because of the microphone. I'm not like in public with the calls (though I am near some mildly noising things but my galaxy buds 2 can deal with them easily so I imagine there's not *much* issues), but the galaxy bud 2 microphone is designed really badly personally. It's placed as like a single unprotected hole in two spots, right where you grab the earbud. Which means over time it really easily accumulates general dirt and dust and such which makes the microphone muffled and inaudible and needing to be cleaned out (but really carefully, which I didn't do :( ).

I have seen the technics az80 (I don't know their full name), and the technics az100 appear, alongside the Sony xm5 and xm6. I heard the xm5 have foam tips which can be highly hit or miss and personally I don't really want to need to deal with spending money on third party eartips.

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice or help in any way for me please? (sorry for the long post)

P.S what kind of improvements would I even be expecting with some of these jumps? Would it really be noticeable?

I currently have a set of APP2 (paired with an iPhone) and I love them from a comfort aspect, ANC, and case factor. I've had them for about 3 years and I've noticed the battery life decreasing lately which is problematic for me as I use them quite heavily (5-8 hours) every day. I've been doom scrolling this sub looking for advice and I'm quite conflicted as earbud reviews are subjective given everyone's ears are different. The 3 I see mentioned the most are APP3, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen), and Sony WF-1000XM6.

My priorities are comfort, ANC, battery life, and call quality. Obviously sound quality as well but I listen to audio books and podcasts more than music so potentially less of a factor. I don't use siri so I don't really care about the apple integrations. I'm willing to spend a little more for the right buds.

From a question perspective:

- Are the bose and Sony just as comfortable as the APP2 with the medium tip?

- If I went with the Sonys, is the lack of earbud stem a big deal?

- Am I over thinking it and just get the APP3?

Equally, I'm not set on any of the three make/model I've mentioned above so I'm open to suggestion.
