Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[Gadgetfreakloh]

Yep, been wearing these for the third week now and the angle by which I place them in my ear has an impact on signal for me. Sometimes to solve reception issues I'll just re-wear them.

To follow up on my previous posts: I still encounter the least reception issues when using it with an iPhone (very rarely does it drop, recovers quickly) but when I'm using it with my Windows tablet or Android phone you can sort of tilt your head slowly and see which angles the Xoundpods will recover or struggle at haha.

Forget it la. This is the same as my First gen Bragi Dash and Earin M1. Sometimes work sometimes do not work. Basically first gen. The only consolation is xoundpods is not expensive. Good platform to try true wireless.

Is there really no other earbuds with as great signal as the airpods other than Jabra 65T? The advancement of wireless earbuds seems to be really slow sadly.

There is no perfect TW now.

1. Airpods- good signal and battery life but open air type and looked like wearing a mini tampon.

2. B&O E8- Excellent sound. Infact the best TW sounding to my ear. 4 hours battery life. However may not fit all ears and expensive. No waterproofing.

3. Jabra 65t- Inexpensive and good companion software. However no aptx and aac. No waterproofing.

4. Bragi dash pro- Expensive. Full sport coaching and heartbeat detector. Full waterproofing. Build in 4gb for standalone player.4 to 5 hours battery life. Only TW that can go swimming. AAC only. However there is some issue with noticable static sound on the left slave earbuds.

5. Sony WF1000x. Excellent sound. Noise cancellation. However slave will have some disconnection. Video and sound sync issue due to slave not NFMI connection. AAC 3 hours battery life. Sbc 2 hours only.

6. Erato Apollo 7. Great sound. Significant video and sound sync issue.No NFMI connection. Less than 3 hours battery life. Too expensive. Basic function. Not value for money.

7. Samsung IconX 2018. Good sound. No significant video and sound sync issue. Good connection. No aptx and aac.4gb build in. Great pricing. Good battery life. May hurt some ears. Good function. Great value if you know where to buy. Recommended.

8. Earin M2. Currently using. Master or slave depends which earbuds you put in your ear first. Auto left right determination. AAC and aptx. Only earbuds that do not hurt my ears. However not very good in the highs and no build in equalizer in the companion software. $300+

So in short I love the Earin M2 and think this is the better one that I have used. This is subjective as the rest will hurt my ears. Only M2 will not hurt my ears and offer great connection, no video and sound lag. 4 hours battery life and lipstick size cradle.

Others may add more. All these are my reviews. Please do not flame me.

Beoplay B&O E8. No signal drops or distortions, used with my pixel 2 xl.

Suitable for daily casual use. Not suitable for sports

just received my PaMu Scroll from indiegogo
its smaller than the previous PaMu
earbuds are significantly smaller then their 1st gen

i dont quite like the carrying case with the leather cover
it can be prone to pressure from items in bag

haven't really listen to it. will post up comparison soon

True wireless Blue-tooth only earphone are more sensitive to:
1. Placement of earphones in the ear. Play with it...u will find certain positions causes intermittent/loss of signal to the right.
2. Placement of phone on ur body. A nbr of pple(like myself) will have issue if place phone on the right side of our body....there's more...u can read several pages back.
3. Enviroment, eg, near a active microwave oven, signal lights, etc.

Normal wireless already do face some issues base on above but less sensitive as the wire connecting both earphones act as antenna.

End of day, true wireless earphone vs normal wireless vs wired.........will be the least stable. Each individual will have to decide their lifestyle req'ment and use the one tat fits their needs. Eg, I use true wireless during exercises and public transport trips.

How much did you fund for it?

i fund it for 45USD
now got promo 39USD
i think its quite worth it

i paired it with my iphone this evening from work to home journey
pairing was very easy. fit wise, the default sponge tip doesn't give me the needed seal. i swop to my foam tips and could get a good seal.

AQ wise, i would say its better than PaMu 1st gen.
The bass is tight and not overwhelming.
Mids are clear and highs are alittle weak.
good for EDMs, hip hop, dance genre.
i also prefer the touch controls rather then the button on the G1.
Have not tried vocal songs.

compared to my Havit G1, i feel the AQ is about the same.
G1 is slightly clearer? crispier? The highs are definitely better with the G1,

Weight and size wise, Scroll takes the win as its really light and comfy that i don't feel like i'm wearing it.

I think i said this before, i prefer the G1 carrying case as oppose to the leather cover type from Scroll.

Both comes with wireless charging feature as add on and i got neither of them. (both uses micro USB to charge.)

Battery Life, so far on a full charge, (case and earbuds) G1 can last me almost a week for about 3hrs of play everyday. (1.5hrs to and back from work). Can't comment on the Scroll for the moment. but the gen 1 PaMu battery is abit weak at about 3 to 4 days before i need to charge the case.

i will try to post up some pics for comparison.

Thanks for the review. I'm using the pamu 1,but the battery is always leaking. Full charge can be fully depleted without using it at all after 24hrs. Considering the pamu 2 now.
