Hi all
Sorry if i am posting in the wrong thread.
I am looking for recommendation for earbuds / headphones.
I have been browsing through the different threads in this forum and can see that ear buds seems to be a popular choice among all the people here?
I will be using it mainly for daily uses (Mrt / Bus / walking) and occasional travels (1/2 times per year). I will not be using it for exercises.
Base on the above point, do you guys think it is better for earbuds / headphones?
Will it be better to get ANC? I do understand that ANC do not fully block MRT.
But i would prefer peace and quiet on the train.
I am not an Audiophile. Neither my brain nor my ear knows anything in the "sound world"
The music I listen to is mostly "sad songs" (Eg: Eric Chou / JJ Lin etc)
Budget wise will be below 500.
I do understand that the best thing to do is to test everything on my own.
However, I have once tried to go stereo at DG but the guy there made me seem like i owe him a million dollar.
Do let me know if you guys need any more information in order to better recommend me .
Thanks in advance
Sorry to hear about your less than enjoyable experience at Stereo. I feel the same - the staff there are quite stuck up and not that friendly when entertaining customers' queries.
For your (high) budget, and not particular about the technicalities you could get a decent set from Sony (wf1000xm3) which is like a good overall pair of buds with practical features like decent battery life, anc, etc. Also you don't use it for exercise so it's okay.
Otherwise if you appreciate high quality audio, can wait for sennheiser true wireless 2 which should come in April or May.
If you're the kind that goes for quirkiness and class, can even get the Master and Dynamic MW07 plus.
Honestly your budget can buy almost any high end ear buds out there. Maybe those guys at Stereo needs to see your cash before advising you the right way.
