I like to ask advice from those of you whom owns or previously owned Creative Outlier Air V3. I just received my set today. Playing around with it, the ANC/Ambient mode, SXFI, button configurations, and using Creative app to update firmware, all works.
Then I realise something weird. When I put back the earbuds into the charging casing slowly, I notice the right earbud will emit a loud beep when it is almost touching the magnet, pretty loud to be exact. It doesn't happen to the left side. I tried a few times, the loud beep will happen when I put the right side earbud slowly into the casing. Is this even normal? Anyone of you experienced the same?
I found the answer from Creative. Apparently it is not an unknown issue to them. They have a "solution" to it,
They explain that the earbuds must switch off ANC/ambient mode, before putting them back into the charging case. Else if they are in either moods, it will emit the loud pitch beeps I experienced. Pretty dumb bug imo...

is Jabra elite 85T a good earbud?
i saw quite many reviews of left earbud spoilt very easily...
was wondering how is the warranty process.
Thanks
been using it for slightly over a year now.

its good. Warranty wise, it is divided into two parts
1 year warranty cover manufacturing defects
2 years warranty cover dust water

Recently released a new video comparing Redmi Buds 3 Pro to a little known ANC wireless earbuds called CKFN F18…

and the result imo is not in favour of Redmi.

Even thou Redmi Buds 3 Pro has a more unconventional & refreshing design, comes with Wireless Qi charging and offers multi-devices connection.

but in major categories such as battery life, Audio and touch controls, CKFN came up strong and rarely fails


feel free to check out the full comparison

Did Sabbat die off from the game already? I have a pair of E12 ultra, after that I don't remember hearing any new releases...

I have the same issue as you :(
Thanks. Now searching for something that is as tiny as Fiil Lite, no Bluetooth dropouts, and has better call reception which is important to me. Looking for non-stem types. Any gurus has ideas?

Hi All

What is a good $30-$50 range TWS to get nowaday?

Thank you.
Alpha & Delta is a local brand with local support. The service centre is at The Adelphi.

The Pebble is the cheapest range, now at offer below S$30.

Edifier TWS 6. Very small. Balanced armature driver. Great mic. No drop out for my usage.

Any recommendation for good mic quality for calls? I used quite a couple of $40-60 ones but feedback was my voice sounded "far".

Trying to find something with ANC as well. Is there something that meets below:

Good call quality
ANC
No stem, small size like T1 Lite
No bluetooth drops in MRT

having tested a fair bit of budget & affordable wireless earbuds, I would say that I don’t believe those which market “clear voice”, “CVC”, “ENC” etc until i test them out personally

so far… Budget earbuds such as T9S, WM01, AWEI TA8 ANC have been good for calls and zoom
