Whats your budget and what are your needs?

Anything on par with HT05 price range?
I have that as my daily beater to my mobile phone, I realize it's not smart enough to switch between devices easily. That's why I hope to get something for my laptop. Watch YouTube, stream videos, zoom meeting on laptop. That's all

ANC will be good to have (not must have), block out noisy colleagues. Haha

Thanks man. I shall wait for your WM03 review then see how. WM02 seems not bad on your review and it comes in fun colors.

Sad sia…
China brands like oppo, anker can compete toe to toe with atas brands like Sony Bose Sennheiser and charge premium prices

yet.. sinkie brands must over-deliver but charge cheap price point

so means must buy creative bcos it's VFM?
but is it durable ah?

Around or below $50 got Soundpeats or Soundcore.
$100-200 got Sony and Sennheiser lower end models, Oppo, Soundcore

Not trying to trash Creative or anything but there is barely an iota of reason to give them a consideration regardless of needs or budget.

I hardly can find any reviews for Creative TWS by westerners. Creative seem to rely mostly on SG/MY influencers to promote their stuff. Maybe its for the better that they concentrate on SG market.

Actually westerners especially US have quite a few reviews on creative outlier air.
They quite like the sound quality for creative earbuds and the long battery life.

but Most of negatives are pretty similar
1) big casing
2) buggy touch input
3) buggy BT connection

for Air V3… the biggest con is the Mediocre ANR, considering Air V3 is a upper mid-range Earbud

Just completed a "Real day in life" battery test on the Sony WF-1000XM4 after the Ver 2.0.1 firmware update.

the latest firmware seems to rectify the battery drain issue with my set, which I experienced since Day 1. Hopefully, it will stay this way till it GG

More relived than happy bah...
I wasn't really able to use it for a few months due to the battery drain issue.
So I put it in the drawers for a few weeks.

Then, I read from reddit that I can try to send it in for servicing or get 1-for-1 replacement. in the end, got Pissed off with the Sony support staffs in Singapore.

shortly, Sony released the 2.0.0 update which kinda reduced the battery drain issue slightly. the earbuds were useable for around 3hrs, which was FAIRLY ok

now the 2.0.1 update.

I personally don't bring the WF-1000XM4 for workouts due to the battery life issue. But now, I will definitely start bring it out for jogging and gym

Warranty international???

 

[rECKleSSfElla]

Warranty international???

Doubt so. Whenever i go for anything export set i just take it that there wont be any form of warranty available. Weigh that against cost of savings and decide for yourself whether its worth it.
