Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[animeonegai]

U got it? Worth anot

I just ordered. The black vers was around 170. Now drop to 164/165 at both app. Can whack.. no need too much bell and whistle.

The soundcore 50% will say low batt. Then cannot last more than 2 hrs. Not even 1 year.

Have enough of that nonsense. My outlier v1 still can run after 2 hr. Really cannot fight. Anker battery is hopeless.

Hi guys those with soundcore liberty 4 NC. Is there a way to permanently leave the NC on? Seems like I have to go to the app to select NC everytime I use the earpiece. Thanks in advance

mine is default always on NC mode. nv did any setting or anything to it.

anyone experienced both Earfun Air Pro 4 or Realme Buds Air 5/6 Pro?

similar price range and similar high scores on versus.com

seems like earfun has better ANC and comfort while realme still wins in audio quality

 

[ferocity]

The Earfun Air Pro 4 listing on taobao changed to not available for sale outside of China but still can ship in using 3rd party forwarder. Versus.com meaningless when all it does is compile and compare simply based off manufacturer published specifications but nothing with regards to actual human usage.

Scarbir has reviewed both the Air Pro 4 and Buds Air 6 Pro. His short comparison summery between the 2

Realme Buds Air 6 Pro vs Earfun Air Pro 4​

The Earfun Air Pro 4 is the newest headline in the $100 wireless earbuds category, and proves fierce competition for the Realme Buds Air 6 Pro. The Realme is more comfortable to wear thanks to the oval instead of round ear tips, and it looks better too. The Earfun has stronger Active Noise Cancelling, capable of blocking louder sounds around you. It also has half an hour more playtime on a single charge, more control options, a fantastic game mode, and its case supports wireless charging.
Sound-wise, the Realme puts the center-mids and treble more forward. This gives it a bit of its hissy undertone, but also adds to the detail and vibrancy in the higher frequencies. It has tighter drum kicks than the Earfun, but the Air Pro 4 has more texture and therefore detail in the lower frequencies. It can go louder and its warmer profile make it a smoother listen. Both sound great, but the Earfun is a bit more versatile.

anyone thinking to get Pixel buds Pro 2

Besides being brand conscious, really can't justify paying $200-300 for a pair of TWS considering what you can get for below $100 nowadays.

I think otherwise. I trying Jabra elite 10 now. It's sound stage is more expansive, detailed and you can really hear the lower bass rolling. This applies even when u compare this to soundcore a40. Both are using SBC/AAC codec.

Is soundcore battery really that bad? I have 3 of their product, liberty 4 NC, space a40 and sports x10. All the battery seems sufficient for me, never hear any low batt notification before and usually use around the 2hrs to 4 hrs range.

My l3p using SBC last less than 1 hr. Granted already 2 years.

Space a40, bought last year Nov, within half hour drop to 50% triggering low batt notification. Then not even 1 hr, already hear 3 times of it.

There's a lot of ppl complaining on soundcore earbud battery life after using for some time

currently using budget xiaomi ear buds, but 1 side intermittently loses connectivity.

mainly wanted to use for commute, and occasional work meetings.

if can connect to multiple device will be a bonus. (work laptop / phone)
i heard having bluetooth 5.3 does not mean the feature is available?

________

previously used b4 wired IEMs westone 1s, KZ ZST, and AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones.

anker brand doing well for tws is an understatement. they are doing extremely well.

you can get liberty 4nc below $80 during sale, or $90+ if you are in hurry.

the anc is very good, useful for travelling on bus, mrt or airplane.

has multi point connect, good mic, able to speak clearly even in noisy place.

sound quality is good, although not at audiophile level, it is much better than your xiaomi.

for calls and work meetings, personally recommend wired headset, cheap $20-30 models have much better mic quality compared to mic on most TWS. personally separately use apple usb-c earpods [$24] for teams/zoom calls

for commuting, avoid open type TWS

connect to muliple devices, look for keyword "multipoint"

based on your requirments and budget [$50-80], can consider the following
Edifier W260NC [may be cheaper on aliexpress]
QCY MeloBuds Pro [may be cheaper on aliexpress]
Redmi Buds 5
SoundPEATS Air4 Pro [may be cheaper on aliexpress]

if you don't need multipoint, can consider moondrop space travel, only about $30 on aliexpress

p.s. if considering aliexpress, pls check carefully and buy from official stores. also consider it as no warranty
