Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[Henabi]

Jabra had so much potential to capture to mid-price market but they didn't... and left the entire market segment for Soundcore to dominate.

Jabra elite 8 gen 2 seem very good. It should be good replacement of soundcore a40. Or technics latest model... Looking for good seal earbuds. I can't get a proper seal for A40.

Likewise, having similar issues with Anker Soundcore products, i'm using the liberty 4 anc and it doesn't seal well because of the thick short stem right after the silicone eartips that tapers towards a very large oval body, not sure if i explained that well lol. My ears just doesn't fit well with such a design

i have similar issues with earbuds whereby the head is shaped this way.

so far… earbuds shapes like Airpods Pro, Redmi Buds, baseus WM02, Jabra Elite 3, Edifier W240TN… all these can get good seal and fit easily
Tougher ones would be Sony Wf-1000xm3, XM4, Creative Outlier series, Jabra 85t, as I feel that the earbuds overall weight distribution is not very good.

I ordered at $348, cheaper by $10 yesterday.
i assume you had other codes to get it to sub-300.

How is it? Worth? Good quality right

Sounds great!
It sounds different from my Sony XM4s and I am enjoying it. How much better is subjective of course.

My XM4s' touch control can be non-responsive at times; not sure if due to me dropping them once or twice, but the AZ80s are super responsive (at least for now).

The Technics app is also much more customizable, and can change the touch controls' functions to your liking.

Noise Cancelling I do not notice that much of a difference, so I guess I would consider them on par with the Sony XM4s, which is a good thing.

The Ambient mode however is very much better than the XM4s; feels much more natural and I can communicate with people easier without wanting to take the earbuds off as much.

Got the Technics az80 too since price has dropped considerably now. Amazing sound quality especially when forced at LDAC 990kpbs, but it skips a lot at the highest bitrate in electrically noisy environment.

The earbuds design look very similar to Jabra Elite 85T

The Technics are a bit chubbier I think. But the Technics are audiophile grade though, reveals lots of details and excellent timbre. Easily rivals a lot of decent IEMs.

Yup the mids are very clear and resolves a lot of details.
