Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[ichinisan]

Is it better to go for the Fiil earbuds rather than the Jabra Elite 75t?

Really like the Jabra but also considering the Fiil T1 Lite or maybe the Pro as the reviews are good.

Yup! In the end I bought an Elite 85t from some guy on Carousell for $260. Wanted to buy it through my EPP at first but somehow the Elite 85t wasn't listed (maybe too popular or sold out?).

Anyway, only after purchasing did I realise Jabra is quite strict about warranty (need to produce receipt and all), which the Carousell seller was unable to furnish (claimed that he got it through his company?)

In any case the earbuds seem fine and sturdy. Rinsing it with gentle stream of tap water seems fine as well and doesn't seem to affect anything, although on second thoughts... maybe I will use my other earbuds for running instead since the warranty on the Jabra may be hard to claim in future.

Sound quality is good (better than the Nuarl NT01AX I paid $250 for two years ago -- things progress so fast in the TWS world) and the ANC seems amazing, far better than my Plantronics BB410. Can't wait to go back office on Wednesday to try it out. AAC codec works fine on my Note 10+. Also like the fact that there is wireless charging. I have a few complaints though:

- No button to turn off ANC -- need to go settings to disable -- really dumb move IMO
- Apparently the 85t still uses a master slave configuration, so taking out the right earbud will cut music to the left as well. This is my first TWS that cannot hear music from one side.
- Audio latency issue when using on laptop. On phone it's fine though. I guess also Windows 10 to blame.

Download the jabra Sound+ app to unlock all the features for your Jabra elite 85t

You can customize the controls for:
Left earbud / right earbud
- single click
- double click
- triple click

Are there any difference to your BT 5.2 earbuds should your phone be supporting only BT5.0 versus it being equipped with BT5. 2?

Transmission between your earbud and phone will be capped at 5.0

Need 2 types of earbuds.
One for good call quality. Another for music/movie, mainly anime/movies.

Budget is under $50 each

Nvm I only want 1 for movie/music. Budget at $50 per piece. Not much selection.

I gym at home, can blast music. Using for work purpose.
Commute I rather rest my eyes and ears. At home I got my IEM.

I am looking at Xiaomi Redmi Airdots 2.

Usually I tested demo at challenger outlets.

 

[Snoweagle]

I got 4 active TWS and another 2 in storage, plus a CIEM in storage also.

Sometimes very tempting to buy.

QCY T1 is ok, but T5 is much better, if budget allows T10/11 even better. All under $50 budget if you know where to look.

Yup second one. Latest one the ANC blocks more external voices.
