Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[dappermen]

Both Red Dot Winner 2022 and iF Design Award 2022 and come in a host of exciting colours. But it’s only half the price of Apple Airpods.

Looks gd but...

• Inside these earbuds are huge 13mm Custom-built Titanium Dynamic drivers, coupled with bass reflex enclosure and anti-occlusion air vents.
• 
  
• During my listening, the lack of proper seal and fit, means I can hear the music and all the outside noises like it’s nobody’s business. And this has a direct impact on the sound enjoyment level. It is fine at home or in quiet places such as library or an empty cafe. But its difficult, if you are in a bus or train or noisy environment.
• Listening Instrumentals and Classicals are passable. Vocals shine brightly but it is quite obvious that FreeNod is not really suitable for instrumentals and Classicals.
• Overall for music, it feels like FreeNod is going for stronger vocals & bass, and is suited for general listening.
• Though the lack of proper seal means that I always need to set the volume around 70-80%

For instrumental and classical music…not say its not good. Imo its passable but feel that its not really suited for such genre.
Anyway these are my personal thoughts maybe other users may feel otherwise

when use outdoors…. Need to crank the vol up to at least 60% cuz it is not in-ear

but the mic is good

 

[dappermen]

but the mic is good

nevermind abt the mic
hardly use it, the most is 1-2 times per week

But it is colour looked very unique!
& how is its fit? Ipod seemed to be easily dropped out from the ears

These stay in my ears even when I was doing jumping jacks

with Airpods, that’s a no-no for me…

I cannot find the right thread to ask, so this is the next best I can think of.

Not sure if there are such gadget. I am looking for mp3 player (yes, player lol) which is slim with usb port plug in type, something like thumbdrive. And have bluetooth function. I see Sony has something, but without bluetooth.

Anyone happens to know of something?

1. On your Android TV, go to the Home screen.
2. Scroll down and select Settings.
3. Under Remote and accessories, select Add accessory. On your TV or monitor, you’ll see a list of nearby devices.
4. Put your device in pairing mode. Your device will be added to the on-screen list.
5. Select your device.

for any reason, your device won’t connect – try turning it off and on.
Retry connection from steps 3 to 5.

If that doesn’t work, do the same power off and on technique with your Android TV too.

If it still doesn’t work out, you might need to reset your Android TV completely.

But before doing that, ensure that your Bluetooth device is able to pair with other smart devices like your smartphone. For any reason, if you’re still unable to pair it, the device in question might need a software update. Or as a last resort, contacting the brand’s support channel.

So many options at this price point. Dun get expensive models for sports... Not worth it.

I still think edifier x3 is a good all rounder though I'm using alpha & delta elite for sports cos it's older and dying lol. And I'm only wearing it only on 1 side to have some environment awareness

Something with IPX5 is good for exercise.

Realme Buds Air 2 Neo

Yeah it's cheap. I do use it for jogging sometimes when I forgot to charge the A&D tws.

Imo get something cheap, forget about those >$100 jaybirds or sport dedicated tws. Not really worth it. There are tons of <$50 tws these days which are not interior in any way

Xemal x3 is the product name of edifier x3 for china market. I bought a pair from taobao. Voice prompts are in chinese. Sound quality can't expect much for the price but for me i find the sound produced very thin and veiled while the bass is non existent unless you crank the volume to near max levels. But what i hate the most about the xemal x3 is the half fug implementation of touch controls where there is no way to adjust volume on the earbuds itself (can only be done through the paired device) and the only way to turn off the earbuds is to place them back into the charging case. I much rather you up your budget abit and go for a Fiil T1 lite which is alot more value for money buy.
