Where is the best place to buy the T1 Pro or light?

For T1 pro wireless charge, is there any recommended charging dock?
Can it charge two earphones at the same time?

Is there a better option than the Fiils?

after countless lousy battery that died on me and not replaceable.
Whats you opinions on the ROI on that expensive earbuds vs quality of sound?

Just learn that Sony WF-1000XM3 with some DIY, you can replace the battery!

But, I'm still looking for that replaceable battery Half-in-ear.
I did not know that! Good to know when it eventually dies and I haven't replaced it. :s12:

You can try and buy from a physical store at Chinatown.

It can be charged with any wireless charging pad or usb c wired.

Any good low profile earbuds from the chinatown store? Using Sabbatt now, but just dropped it on floor and it split open. How is the T1 Lite profile and size compared to Sabbatt?

Sabbat size actually quite big. T1 pro and lite are known for their small size.

Have a few Bluetooth wireless earbuds (wife and friends think too many. Haha). But throughout the entire Covid period, I’ve depended on the
- AirPod Pro for gaming and jogging
- Xiaomi Airdot (gen 1) for all more work calls

My Soundpeats, Outlier Air & the ridiculously cheap $10 TWS F9 is hardly touched.

Throughout this whole period, I realise the Airdots ($20) is extremely good. Dropped many times, it’s compact case, smallest earbud size, long battery life and decent cal quality amazes me. It’s subpar sound (music, gaming, movie) quality is disappointing but it’s reliability & durability as a work accessory surprises me.

Kudos to the Airdots.
Am now curious is the Airdots 2 is any improvement. Thinking if I should pay $26 to grab the new version ( wife will prob stare at me again).

the airdots S seems to be a better buy if you want any improvement from the airdots. it has gaming mode which reduces latency!

I think you mean Elite 85t...


Bringing your earbuds for exercise as well???
Yup! In the end I bought an Elite 85t from some guy on Carousell for $260. Wanted to buy it through my EPP at first but somehow the Elite 85t wasn't listed (maybe too popular or sold out?).

Anyway, only after purchasing did I realise Jabra is quite strict about warranty (need to produce receipt and all), which the Carousell seller was unable to furnish (claimed that he got it through his company?)

In any case the earbuds seem fine and sturdy. Rinsing it with gentle stream of tap water seems fine as well and doesn't seem to affect anything, although on second thoughts... maybe I will use my other earbuds for running instead since the warranty on the Jabra may be hard to claim in future.

Sound quality is good (better than the Nuarl NT01AX I paid $250 for two years ago -- things progress so fast in the TWS world) and the ANC seems amazing, far better than my Plantronics BB410. Can't wait to go back office on Wednesday to try it out. AAC codec works fine on my Note 10+. Also like the fact that there is wireless charging. I have a few complaints though:

- No button to turn off ANC -- need to go settings to disable -- really dumb move IMO
- Apparently the 85t still uses a master slave configuration, so taking out the right earbud will cut music to the left as well. This is my first TWS that cannot hear music from one side.
- Audio latency issue when using on laptop. On phone it's fine though. I guess also Windows 10 to blame.

Hi, any recommendation for wireless bluetooth ear buds that can connect to 2 devices, android phone and windows laptop at the same time?
Example, if i'm watching a movie on my laptop and a call came in on my mobile, i can just pick up the phone call and answer. After the call, hang up and continue watching my movie.

So far, I tested and its working great, Huawei Freebuds Pro. I always connect it to 2 devices when working. It's the one which support 2 devices regardless of brands.

For Samsung buds pro, it only support 2 Samsung devices, both must be Samsung.

The bass is better than average, sound quality to me is good. Maybe u can go to challenger outlets to test. They have demo for testing.

Are there any difference to your BT 5.2 earbuds should your phone be supporting only BT5.0 versus it being equipped with BT5. 2?
