Hi,

I will write my initial impressions of freebuds 5 pro.

Context:

I needed buds for my S24 Ultra.

I had buds fe before which i got for free but i lost them

For comparison audio i have schiit hel and HD 490 pros.

1. The price really hurts its around 60% of hd 490 pros.

2. For those that care about ANC its really really good but keep in mind i dont and my comparison list is bad

3. LDAC works with S24 Ultra but needed some switching back and forth.

4. If closed case does not have find me mode which would be nice.

5.app EQ feels like it does absolutely nothing - a glitch?

6. Sound quality is really good, nothing to complain although max volume is relatively low.

7. I absolutely hate how they are placed in the case. Putting them back in is like plugging USB right the first time.

8. The case itself is slippery, almost designed that way.

Am i happy about the purchase? Well, there is definitely no "wow" effect. Im wondering how oneplus buds would compare - half the price.

Hey, i am looking for earbuds for my mobile exclusively.

I have S24 Ultra right now.

From my research i have the following considerations:

Moondrop Golden Age 2

Moondrop pudding

Oneplus Buds 4 (pro or non pro?)

IEMs + wireless adapter.

I had galaxy buds FE before which were okey for me.

On a PC i have a dac and HD 490 pro.

I dont really care about anc or calls tbh.

So far most point at oneplus buds 4

Hi, i wanted to get a new keyboard and so far eliminated everything other than those two.
What i want:
Analog mode (using analog input in games, emulating joystick or whatever)
100% or close (i do not want any keys missing)

at least 1 macro or programmable button would be nice (like f15)

something that's easy to clean?

I have Corsair K100 now (mx speeds)
