Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[garychengjw]

How’s the t1 lite? Anyone

Just received mine earlier this afternoon. A briefly test on it, personally felt overly bass-y to my liking (compared to Soundpeats Sonic). Although the soundstage and vocal are brilliant. (fyi: i'm not an audiophile)

me unboxing

 

[garychengjw]

May I know how's the call quality? Considering between TrueAir 2 or Sonic as both are using QCC3040.

have yet test the call quality

Recently got jabra 75t and the call quality is not good. Cannot block background noice during calls even after updating the firmware and activating ANC. Is this normal? Thanks

It's normal. the call quality isn't good on Jabra Elite 75t. The main reason should be it's design.

What’s the best option for something under $30?

I have Awei T10C, QCY T4, mpow mbit s, which I will define them as budget bluetooth earphones. So far they dont really give me much problems. What I like about such budget earphones is that they rarely have master-slave connection issue.
Main problem I see is the earphones' connector point may not sit nicely into the case to charge. So just need to adjust or push abit, see the light then close lid.

Unlike Sabbat E12 Ultra I have, i will encounter the master-slave connection issue, which I believe its because of the chipset qc3020.

Btw, do give mpow mbit s a try. Its quite a good recommendation from scarbir. Its currently my daily beater to fro work-home.

Mpow mbit s take mrt no silent issues right? Been looking for a commuting tws..qcy let me down in the random silent issue...or maybe is phone issue..

Hmm I haven't really take MRT for past months, so can't comment though.

But given its a budget piece, I feel it's too worth for his price le. If get the bud size right, isolation is quite decent. Only thing I still can't get used to is that it has own volume control which is weird I never seen on other earphone before

Elite 75t is suitable for music and video consumption. Call wise better get those "AirPods like" earbuds. Those "tails" are specifically for better call quality.

I have two ear buds now.

Jabra Elite Active 75t - Jogging, music and video consumption.
Soundcore Liberty Air 2 - Phone calls

Advise you guys not to buy this leather case if you are using Sony XM3. The magnet in the leather case will drain the charging case. My charging case drop from 100% to 5% overnight just standing by. Waste my money.

I second the recommendation of using 'airpods like' / stem-based earbuds. The closer the mic is to the mouth the better. ANC will take some time to mature so not big on it atm as well.

Can I check how long have you been using your SLA2 and whether you made any changes e.g. foam tips?

The 65t mic is quite good tho. Never tried the 75t.
But yes AirPods mic quality is rly top notch

Have been using Soundcore Liberty Air 2 since Apr 2020. I have changed the tips to Sony one (silicon type) as the included tips are not suitable for my ears. Quite happy with both call and sound quality but a bit disappointing with its battery life. I have sent it for replacement due to battery problem on end Oct.

Thank you for the reply..may I know what phone you using?

Xiaomi Note10, QCY good enough for low budget, quality is better than the xiaomi TWS.

I am also testing a couple of ultra low budget wireless earbuds from Shopee. Price range from $7 to $20, names like L21 pro, L13, F9, including Haylou GT1 pro and airpod-wannabe inpods 12...

I would say when it comes to music, haylou top.
For regular phone calls, dont expect anything XD. I would say its on par or worse than Sony WH-10003 headset.

but when it comes to Data calls like WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype, MS team, these ultra budget wireless earbuds are able to deliver decent mic audio clarity, stable connection and good battery life (at least 2-3hrs no issue)

Physically wise I think so. Sound wise according to head-fi they say it's different, with the fiil more neutral while the earfun is more bassy. The earfun does sound pretty bassy.

Earfun is by Edifier. Same design but less feature and without app support. Not sure which company is the local distributor.

I thought free pro is using fiil t1 pro design? Air pro then is using edifier tws2 design? Air pro is also available locally.

I don't have the fiil t1 pro but from scarbir review, t1 pro need the app to enable the volume control and to control the low latency mode. Earfun has these enabled out of the box except don't have skip track backward. Scarbir review also mentioned there's no option to turn the anc off on the fiil? Earfun can turn cycle the anc to off, on or ambient mode. T1 pro has proximity sensor which will auto pause the music when the buds are taken out. Earfun don't have.
