Finally bought the V3 as my E8 KO on me on a jog. Just finished a jog and I must say the V3 is damn good for its price point. Definitely worth $100-200 range.

Just tried it on a jog earlier. The V3 performance and quality definitely exceeds the $59 price point. Very satisfied with the purchase.
I have only two complaints
1) super large case
2) a very short ear tip, and the silicon seal has a very shallow grip. Quite a few times when i take out the earbuds from my earbuds, the silicon seal was left inside my ear canal… luckily i was still able to use my fingernail to dign it out.

Case size if fine with me as I put on the ear buds before leaving the house for the jog.
Yes I also agree on the short tips and shallow grip of the seal. I also wished they offered another larger size tip as I do have big ears.

Yeah the shallow grip makes the ear buds seems to wanna drop out of my ears when I jog. Just did a test on this morning’s jog.

And the loud screeching sound if do not turn off ANC/transparency before putting the earbuds back into the casing. Curious why they just don't do a firmware update to remove this "flaw".

I use Between Pro earbuds by Status Co. Triple Driver at a very decent price point. I bought it during their kickstarter campaign. Now it can be bought at their website

I didn't back the campaign in Indiegogo as I felt its a little too pricey for a pair of in-ear tws earbuds with no anc

Oppo enco X2.

The specs, features and functions are very similar to the Huawei freebuds pro 2. The Oppo sounds more natural in the mids while the Huawei sounds extremely fast and a tad unnatural. The Oppo app is also less of a hassle to install since Huawei is banned from Google. The stem of the Oppo is also slimmer than the Huawei, and the controls are easier to operate on the Oppo. A firmware update adds LDAC support and I have no issues using it with LDAC on my Samsung phone. Sound quality is excellent with an open fluid sound.

The tips of the Oppo are more conical in shape and the largest size is quite small, so people who require larger tips may find that they do not stay well in ears. There in ear detection also cannot be turned off.

Best bang for the buck in the $200-$300 price category IMO.

hmmmmmmm..... so far I have not come across this type of issue.

oh I just got another minor one...
Whenever I tap the touch area... the silicon seal will produce a type of sound effect which is similar to air suddenly escaping from a cushion and then suddenly rush back

All have golden ears? Last time I burn all my CD to lossless format too but later step it down since can't really tell the difference and also to save space. Mobile phone and ipod capacity quite small back then

Nowadays 320kbps is good enough, pair with decent dap and earphone

actually I cannot tell the difference XD like "APTX" and "APTX-HD"

last time... I just compress each song to the smallest possible file size. like 1MB or 2MB, so that I can squeeze as many songs as possible into my 64MB Creative MP3 player

Lao liao is like that.... I understand :(
Cos I listen mostly to metal during my youth, I like to have the instruments segregation.

2mb is like 128kbps? Or is there a lowerbitrate? Iirc 64? That quality is really crappy leh. My ipod is 8gb Iirc....
