Wireless bluetooth EAR BUDS recommendations

[Nakedtoes]

Reviews out.. Best sounding Bluetooth.. Some cons is the app is buggy.. The peats audio app is better then the soundpeat app... When u switch equilizer the tws will reboot... No wind noise Cancelling, no pause sensor. But for the price I can't complaint... Now selling $9x at Amazon.. Need code.

Now selling $9x at Amazon.. Need code.

Tried to order but too late, last one grabbed by someone else.
Cause was figuring out why the 35% early bird code not 35% (listed 100+ but after discount 90+)

looks big and thick tho

ha yah same tried to order but all sold out

 

[jokerpoker81]

anyone used soundpeats air 4 pro and earfun air pro 4 before?

I know its not latest model, but soundpeats seems to do better with clearer voice quality etc?

managed to grab 1 set from AMZ SG , applied the 35% off code to get about 17 bucks discount. it's not full 35% off maybe only about 17%ish off.

there was a 9 bucks off store voucher that I forget to apply, if not would have gotten this for 80ish...

best value ever

Soundpeats air 5 pro not bad... i use it more than Soundcore Liberty Pro 4 which was double the price (too sibilant!).
Sound signature different from H1 etc tho.. mids more forward.
if you are v lucky can get around $60 on Lazada.. i got it at $69.

Ive been monitoring this. The price has dropped everyday since 24 sep. Yet to pull the trigger as i read that the fit is not good. Difficult to change custom ear tips because it has a square shaped nozzle.

🥹I plan to use it for running.

I just saw you got the baseus bp1 pro too.

Do you mind sharing how is it so far? I can get it for $20 on lazada. im contemplating this bp1 pro vs l4nc.

I dont need it for calls and im not an audiophile. My main use is anc for stomping sounds at home and gym, transparency mode when running.

The 2 years warranty for baseus is quite attractive too. I have a soundcore a40 which battery started dying after the warranty period.

Saw popular still selling it the other day but went to Best denki casually today the soundcore area can't find L4NC already. Guess really clearing stock.

I'm coming from Redmi Buds 5 Pro - battery life cut by more than half after 1.5 years. I think I'll hate one thing, the case size quite big. Checked the L4 Pro and L5 today both quite big actually and review says L4NC one bigger than L5 haha. The redmi ANC/Transparency confirm far from the best I guess L4NC can easily best that. Somehow the redmi got this weird sound in ANC and normal mode (with adaptive NC on), it will make funny sound when going through bumps on any vehicle like when taking bus, only transparency mode won't hear that.

If you can get liberty 4nc at $50 or less, just go for it. no other tws can beat it at $50. its ANC is very good. sound is good too, although not at audiophile level.

sound quality from bp1 pro is not as good, but acceptable. there is some level of anc, but not good enough on circle line.

i dont recommend them for running.

First impressions, vs Redmi Buds 5 Pro

ANC - Liberty 4 NC wins when it's working correctly. Somehow, a simple tap on the earbuds can trigger an audio shift after the contact is detected. Could this be due to the microphone interpreting the tap as an acoustic input? This is not the "funny sound" that the Redmi model makes to compensate when passing through vehicle bumps.

Transparency mode - Oh gosh L4NC has louder sound but at the same time the grey noise / noise floor is very high and audible the Redmi one is far from great but I'll still rate it above L4NC.

Sound quality - Not sure is it tuning or what, L4NC sounds quite a lot better but at the same time the sound changes due to what I've described above in ANC. What's worse is that this issue only affects the earbud you tap, resulting in a noticeably different sound profile between the two sides.

Mic Quality - Just outdoor with slightest wind - L4NC sounds robotic. In a room with just a ceiling fan on, the recipient on the other side complained that the audio was audible but crackling. I changed to the Redmi and the feedback was that the Redmi is much better. However, in my own experience, I don't get good calls with the Redmi either (many calls are not audible to the other party), so I think the L4NC is doing even worse haha.

Soundcore app has live translation feature, didn't see that in the ads or maybe I missed that. However, just testing it on my own, it only works for the first input, reading out the translated speech into the earpiece. It continues to recognize my voice when I speak, but it will not auto-play the translated version into the earpiece. Even manually tapping the Play button does nothing.

i never encounter the audio shift problem.

have you performed the leak test?

Leak test when not moving shows excellent. Could be that it's not sitting too deep into my ear, very shallow even if I push it it's like just hooking on to the outer ear so when touch it it cause the buds to move.

I know its not latest model, but soundpeats seems to do better with clearer voice quality etc?

anyone else any other comments between these two? soundpeats is not latest model here, but bigger driver and aptx sound, so can be better for biz calls also? or earfun is sufficientt for all purposes?

For call quality this guy's ranking maybe quite accurate?? At least Liberty 4 NC falls in the right category. Don't have the soundpeats air 4 pro but he covered the air 5 pro

thanks...I have samsung buds 3 pro, but call quality not so poor until so extreme as per his list lah, thou i feel that the noise cancelling should be way better at that price point, as the budget range are catching up in features and functionalities......seems that its hard to find one that excel in sound quality, mic / call quality, and noise cancellation

Yeah I don't think Buds 3 Pro will be that bad also
