All have golden ears? Last time I burn all my CD to lossless format too but later step it down since can't really tell the difference and also to save space. Mobile phone and ipod capacity quite small back then

Nowadays 320kbps is good enough, pair with decent dap and earphone
On the move maybe cannot notice much difference. While sitting down to listen can hear the subtleties. Lossy compression transmit via lossy transmission means lower quality. So try to reduce the compressions along the whole chain.

I'm a simple and poor man haha. Yup try to remove weakest link in the while chain. "Good enough" input, converter and output is good enough hahha
Also agree on the inferior and compromised Sq on the move

Maybe for wired earphones/headphones then it's worth to be more particular

Any comparisons for fiil t1 lite and the creative outlier v3?

My earbuds finally died today.. need replacement. Prefer not so bassy and mid centric.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: saw the fiil t1 is around 40? Creative around 50-60

Noticed my tws after the 2 years mark will become cranky.

My Alpha & Delta Elite battery draining like crazy. Can't last 4 hrs now. Bought them during Xmas 2019. Best pair I've used so far thou

Edifier X3 sometimes 1 side can't connect. Upair, reset but problem still persists... Bought in early 2011

Air by Mpow still working fine maybe cos I rarely use them. Case too bulky to bring out and I dun use tws at home. Bought in early 2011 as well

Anyone observed similar?

i feel that this kinda issue is also found in other types of electronics with internal battery, especially those we use on a regular basis.
HP, laptops, tablets

the more we use them, the more the battery health will deteriorate.

in fact I will say if your Alpha & Delta tws can last 3 hours + a bit, after regular usage of close to 2 years, its very good liao.

my friends airpods pro (1st gen) can last close to 2hours after 2yrs of daily use.

A quick share on my Jabra Elite 7 Active. Have been using it for the past 2 months. Pretty happy with it.

- Decent build quality.
- Decent sound quality.
- Good ANC performance.
- Compact and comfortable earbuds.
- Good battery life.
- IP57 is awesome.
- Affordable price during discount.
- Mic performance can be better.

From elite 65t to 75t to 85t, the mic has never been really good.
And then jabra released the new Elite 3, 5, 7 series… people thought maybe this time it will be good
But then again… it is nof

Due to it's physical shape perhaps. Those with "tails" tend to have better mic performance.

Finally bought the V3 as my E8 KO on me on a jog. Just finished a jog and I must say the V3 is damn good for its price point. Definitely worth $100-200 range.

I'm looking for a $50 good ANC earbuds mainly for music, gaming and connection to TV for Netflix.
Besides creative air v3, any recommendations?
Saw jabra elite 3 $58 @ Amazon. Is that a good price?

Check out Ugreen Hitune x6, AWEI TA8 and HTC HT03.
They have decent sound latency for gaming and i have no issues connecting to smart TV with bluetooth feature

Piggybacking off of this, if nothing matters other than noise cancelling are there any better options? Budget up to 100 but preferably closer to the 50 side
