Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[Remless]

The thing is all bluetooth codec available so far is still lossy compression, even LDAC@990 or AptX HD. So if you are often using bluetooth headphones or earbuds, its pointless to get anything more than MP3@320 (lossy). Lossless audio sources is pointless if you are using bluetooth audio devices as your main daily source.

Yeah.. that's the point. With a compressed audio source and a lossy compression methodology in general bluetooth use, there isn't any much improvement in the so called sound quality. What people are paying for in the more premium earpieces is mainly the sound signature and tuning which, subjectively, pleases more people.

Which is why I don't really bother too much about 'sound quality' in bluetooth devices, and place heavier emphasis on 'features'.

When I want higher quality audio (lossless) and do subscribe to Roon, I will need to do something about my destructive habits to wired earpieces.

PS: It seems that qualcomm is excluding aptx HD in their newer, more premium chips and replace it with aptx adaptive with variable bitrate. Although aptx adaptive is not able to hit the 576kbps of aptx HD, its able to variable stream various bitrates in accordance to situation. Like streaming at the lower bitrate to as low as 280kbps in crowded areas flooded with competing wireless signals. This probably will mean lower latency and less breaks in crowded areas.

FWAH! looks chio. Can't say I'm a fan of Final Audio stuff since their E1000, 2000, 3000 sound signature didn't really suit my taste when I auditioned them a while back, but looks nice. But looking at the position of the microphone, the shape of the earbuds, and the charging contacts, I somehow get the feeling like this is a re-shell / re-design of the MPOW T5/Lypertek TEVI/Nakamichi TW211 with a fancier case. haha.

They practically look like $250+ toys. My 10 year old nephew will love these.

Can elaborate a bit more?

to me they sounded a bit too warm for my liking. mid bass seems to stand out more than the mids and treble. wasn't expecting much for their price point anyway, but since i already have the Sony MH755 which I think sounds way better, and cost me like less than S$10 (with cable mod), their budget lineup just wasn't appealing to me at all.

Yes, I bought mine from TB too and had defects but shipping back too expensive then the email set need to ship back to Singapore again in the end I bought from local seller which also gives 6 months of local warranty

You should buy them for your nephew! Be the cool uncle you can be.

Also show them the evangelion movies, definitely kids friendly!

Yeah! If I print money, I'll buy the purple one for my 10 yr old nephew and the red one for my 8 yr old niece so that they won't be jealous with each other. Well, that will cost about $500+ for these pair of toys.

Its so obvious which is the main target group they are marketing for.

Came this morning. Sound is ok. It can switch between left right sides almost instantly with a beep sound.

Now about the app. Honestly it's good to have, but nothing fancy. Yes, the app allows the change the tapping function. BUT there are only single and double taps. Pause/play, skip track, volume control. Pick two... Kns, but it's my fault that I assume should have triple taps...
Kind of sian that it wasn't what I want... Up for grabs if anyone is interested. :'(

the first time i watched the original anime on a CD box set my uncle had, I was probably like 10 years old or younger. Of course other than the cool mecha fights, i didn't really get most of the "other" stuff.

Anyway, the first 3 movies of the Rebuild of Evangelion series are available on youtube till end of the month i think. just no eng subs. haha

didnt test wor. Dont know how to test also. Because i almost never use the bluetooth earphones to make phonecalls before.

I wonder if they will add triple taps with future firmware update... I tried to press 3 times, it gave a weird sound, and music continue like nothing happens...

I watched it also. Its those kind of 'chim' anime which I really need to rewatch to understand.

I do appreciate these kind of 'deep' themed animes, as some of them are meaningful, but won't go to the extend of buying anime-related merchandise.

That's totally a different level.

Hmm.. u mean there is a response when u triple tap? Then yeah, maybe they will plan for something in the future for this action.

Was hoping this can replace my truedots for calls.

The triple tap probably triggers the lower latency "game mode"

haha. they targeting different crowd ba. some will like it as they enjoyed the anime during their childhood. I find the eva2020 pretty cool looking haha. more interested in that, though it will probably sound like their E1000 series i guess.

Yeah man. The wired earpiece looks a lot nicer. At least I won't feel that I belong to the akihabara gang with this.

These packages is probably marketed as a collector's item. Buyers probably won't be that particular about its sound.

 

[Alexz_Hong]

my order is most likely GG. still have to wait to apply for refund. not going to bother buying things from aliexpress again.

For T5s..triple tap is to switch to gaming mode. Perhaps yours the same.

Aww....

My package which I previously mentioned went MIA since Apr 8 suddenly has an update on Apr 26, saying its handed over to 'last mile carrier'.

Luckily it didn't went MIA after all.
