Hi all. I am looking for wireless earbuds <$100 to replace my current Jabra Elite 3. Usage will be listening to music while commuting and working out. Water resistance required since I sweat a lot and might run in the rain. Noise cancelling not required but if have its a plus. Any recommendations?

The SXFI only works base on two conditions
1) You use the Creative SXFI app and
2) you downloaded a lot of songs and transfer them to your phone local storage

otherwise if you listen from spotify or Tidal or Apple Music… the SXFI tech is useless

Tried the soundsamples to AB, not sure if its recording issue, from all the samples I find B&W PI7 S2 the best, not sure why quite alot (like the Pi8) sounded muffled and of a lower bitrate. Is this anywhere accurate?
it only as accurate as your speaker could be or how good his mic could be .

just go it connect and try ba pi7 s2 now very good price

Thanks.

Looking at Amazon sg, both from Amazon US:

Denon Perl Pro : $219
Technics AZ80e: $291

Sound sample AZ80 separation is what I like, but now the PErl Pro is much cheaper. How to choose!

Edit: Noted that the Denon Perl Pro actually went to $150ish price point on Nov 18. Maybe will try to snipe that

What's the lowest price u ever got for Earfun Air Pro 4?
Was previously going for ~SGD$76 on taobao but need to engage 3rd party shipping to ship in. But currently the listing is no longer available while there are other taobao sellers selling for more than double the price.

Im surpised anker brand doing well for wireless IEMs haha.
about 100 ya?




currently using budget xiaomi ear buds, but 1 side intermittently loses connectivity.

mainly wanted to use for commute, and occasional work meetings.

if can connect to multiple device will be a bonus. (work laptop / phone)
i heard having bluetooth 5.3 does not mean the feature is available?

________

previously used b4 wired IEMs westone 1s, KZ ZST, and AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones.
Actually there is another way, many IEM especially from KZ are all using detachable cables QDC and now KZ they also sell Wireless BT to adapt those IEM of your choice into a wireless earphone. That way you can choose which IEM you preferred.

KZ AZ10 Bluetooth V5.2 aptX/TWS + Earbuds Hook with Mic Support/50 Hours Playback and APP Control for Standard 0.75/0.78mm 2PIN Connector

I think there is another newer model AZ15 but not on Amazon, I saw it on Shopee.
