Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[wizardmao]

I strongly second that, I've tried and owned a few true wireless earphones and none beats the sound of the E8 so far, at least for now.

I have recently had the chance to try on a friend's Apple Airpods.

In an indoor environment, it feels pretty decent and good too for me.

care to share how is the battery endurance? 3 to 5 hrs continuous? for that price tag, might as well get airpod?

On my Pixel 2 XL, volume 18/25(72%), the E8 plays about 3.5hrs with 30% remaining battery indicated on my mobile.

I would say the specifications that a single full charge can play for approx 4hrs or so is pretty accurate.

Charging case comes with two other full charges(8hrs)

around 4 to 5 hours...

airpod has no match with E8 ...

Can't compare to airpods ba.. 180 only airpods

I’m using both AirPods and E8 on rotation. Both are different in its own class so no fair comparison between the two.

AirPods connect and work seamlessly with Apple devices (maybe because I’m on the Apple ecosystem) so it’s very convenient AND being an earbud-type, so far it has the best sound for earbuds. Because of that, bass and details fall short as there’s no isolation. AirPods are built for Apple devices.

The E8 is in-ear type, hence better isolation and better sound too. The internal hardware is also of higher quality and it’s built for music. The Beoply app also allows you to tweak the sound to your liking, therefore have an upper hand over AirPods. The good thing about E8 is that it allows you to hear your surrounding sounds at a touch on the left earbud. Bad thing is that connecting to your devices is not as straightforward as AirPods.

thanks for the short comparison =). trying to find something that have high battery endurance...4 hrs is very short. im not an audiophile to differentiate the sound quality. hmmm..looking at airpod / jabra. hows the battery endurance for this 2?

According to Apple, AirPods can last up to 5hrs per charge and its charging case up to ‘more than 24 hours of listening time (presumably 5 x 5 charges = 25 hours).

B&O states E8 can last up to 4hrs per charge and another 2 additional recharges in the charging case, bringing it to a total of 12hrs.

In both cases, both the earphones and charging case have to be fully charged. But these statistics are just an estimate, actual batt life depends on your usage and settings.

Yeap agree.

Hopefully future versions of Airpods can introduce more features. But I expect those to be for iPhone users mainly.

Not sure if Google will improve on their Pixel Buds. Till date have not tried the Pixel Buds fit and quality.

Technically not considered wireless bluetooth earbuds either.

He probably misunderstood your question or you did not specifically ask the right questions.

A full single charge on the case including the airpods and a full single charge on the airpods can mean different things.

In bold, pretty sure in between he kept his airpods back in the charging case, which will automatically charge the airpods.

It was rumoured that a 'high-end' AirPods will debut next year such have having water resistance and perhaps considering introducing noise cancellation (that'll be interesting!).

The Pixel Buds to Google's phones are exactly what AirPods are to iPhones/iPads. They're mainly made for their own products and will work best with full features too. It should have an improved version some time soon as if it doesn't, they'll lose out more to the market.

Does anyone know if the 65t will have audio lag when syncing with YouTube? I tried it out at the shops and it seems to have the delay.

I tried it with my iPhone & iPad, no lag.

Which youtube video you tried? Provide the link and I can test it for you.

I just tried any random video using my iphone..

The salesperson said that perhaps the demo set's firmware is not updated hence there's a delay.

I tried to play videos on VLC using it too, but no sound leh..
