The ANC works only for low density noise bt doesn't work for high density noise hmm

Cos expensive mah. Also, other brands especially chifi are not that inferior too

But I do have their budget HD558 headphones which is already more than 10 yrs old and is still working

Same same. Both are expensive but good

Nowadays with influx of cheap and good tws, it's a tough fight for them

Well, depends if you need ANC. Afterall ANC equipped one are slightly more expensive.
Maybe Sony WF-CS series, Sen CX series or Creative Zen Air series?

Personally, I don't see a point going for those high ends ones now unless you can truly hear the differences on the go.

If you are open to other "cheaper" brands, there are a lot decent / goods one already mentioned in this thread

depends on your usage requirements and budget

other brands may have better value-for-money models, e.g. qcy, xiaomi, anker soundcore, soundpeats, etc.

I kind of agree with you, well mainly I am not rich nor I have sharp hearing.

Start with a comfortable budget in mind, but brands. Then within the budget look around. Personally I will suggest on the sgd50 ramge first, should be able to find a few ok ones. If the sound or functions fit one's needs, that is all matters. Else, do a blind test listen what suit you. Cheap doesn't mean interior, while as expensive doesn't always mean better.

Haha, same.
Started my wireless earbuds journey with
- NUARL NT01A (i still kept thinking why i got this...)
- Huawei Buds Pro (tipped my toe into ANC)
- Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
- Soundcore Liberty 4 NC

After getting the 4 NC at a steep discount on Laz during its launch,
- were my other 3 purchases really worth it?
- What did they offer at that time that i got them?

Till now i still am not sure. Maybe engineering got better? Who knows....
Each of the previous ones was hovering at around 180 - 200 SGD and to be honest 4 NC is a damn good product for its price.

@Whizdom Focus on functionalities over brands, price doesn't mean better or a superior product now. A "cheaper" product could just fit what you want in a earbuds

Got these for ard $98 after coupons on Lazada. China export set.

One of the reasons i got this is that the Oneplus Buds 3 utilises the same HeyMelody app as my existing Oppo Enco X2.

Not going to do a review or anything since there are already plenty of those online but comparing out of the box sound(no EQ or hearing test profile applied), i feel the Oppo Enco X2 is clearly a notch above the Buds 3 in terms of sound quality.

yeah I also got the soundcore librty 4 NC for about $75SGD.

although not the best, but the value is so good that i can't believe i was paying upward of near $300 for other mediocre TWS.

Hey, do you think its worth paying 15 more for engine 4 or mini pro hs?

Hey, do you think its worth paying 15 more for engine 4 or mini pro hs?

depends on your requirements

personally wouldn't, but not for price or features, but bud size

i have relatively small ears, unfortunately, flagship TWS like sennheiser mtw were too big for me, so have been trying to look for small buds

without the right seal, no matter how atas the TWS, the sound and isolation would not be great
