Hey guys. What are currently the best sounding earbuds (AirPods 4, not Pro) style? I thinking about Galaxy Buds 4, but the opinion of the sound quality are mixed, so maybe there are better alternatives.
It will be used with an Android phone.
Thanks in advance for all the recommendations!
I’m looking for the best pure sound , great Anc , and better latency , any recommendations?
Looking for bluetooth earbuds (or headband?) that I can wear while lying down on my side comfortably, but is waterproof, and won't budge while working out. Open to buying multiple different pairs if one specific set can't do it all. The cheaper the better lol. Thanks!
Seeking advise: I use my earbuds for mostly work. So call quality and noise cancellation are really important. What are some other earbuds folks have had success with?? Anyone found a "diamond in the rough"?
Phone: Android- Samsung.
Current favorite: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
Liked...but bad fit: Sony WF-1000XM5
I have had the best results with bose earbuds for fit, sound, clarity, and noise cancellation. I tried the sony xm5 and really liked them, but the fit was not good and didn't find any accessories to help them stay put. Needless to say my son now loves them.
Thank you in advance
I recently bought a pair of xm6's. The memory foam eartips hurt my ear and the replacement silicones kept falling out. I'm really gutted as I love everything about them except that. I have a pair of the original Bose QC earbuds (2020) and they fit perfectly but the battery is now woeful.
My request is that I'd like to hear people's opinions on what would be the best sounding, most comfortable (subjective I know but humour me) and secure fit earbuds that have great call quality and battery life? ANC is not important. If they have it, great, but it's not a necessity. Basically the Sonys but with a more secure, comfortable fit. My budget is anything around the price of the Sonys. Thank you kindly.
So yesterday I purchased new Oneplus buds 4 in sale from Amazon today it got delivered and it was old manufacturing model and buds are already used as they already have someone else name on it as they are already paired. I am outside due to some work while delivery was there my mom recieved package and records video and yeah it was open box delivery when I reached home I checked buds 4 manufacturing date was old November 2025 and second when I connect it shows someone else name as it replacement unit or someone else used earlier
Amazon decline replacement and refund as it is open box delivery I explain all the issue they said it's not in policy they don't get option of replacement in their system due to open box delivery . They said if any issue you can visit service centre as it has 10 days replacement service from Service centre
Now what to do condition of buds and box looks good and new have to test buds properly
Should I do consumer complaint?
Got other user name in bluetooth settings not in popup while pairing buds 4
I lost one of my ear tips from oneplus Nord buds 3
pro
Can u guys tell me where to buy it Provide link plz
I’m coming from AirPod Pro 2, which served me very well. I always felt like the sound was very “shallow” (not sure how else to describe it), but it did the trick for awhile. Now with the AZ100, I love the quality of the sound.
However, I’m not really understanding the hype surrounding the equalizer. I have tried the built in presets, I have tried the custom setups, and I’m not really understanding it. I get the bass heavy presets, I get the treble heavy presets, but when I tried the custom equalizer setups, I just don’t see how it’s better or worse than the default setup. It’s different, it’s impossible to deny that. But I’m seeing tons of upvotes and people sweating over custom setups, but it just sounds different. Not better, not worse. I can’t pick which one I like better since they both sound fine, so I just stick with default.
Am I missing something here? Again, the earbuds are 10/10 and I’m glad to have ditched the AirPod Pro 2’s. But am I just missing the ear to not notice minute differences from the equalizer?
I use them i a CNC shop, so the ANC must be excellent, even for harsh screeching sounds. I need to make calls with them, so good call quality in a loud environment. sound is not that important, since it are more podcasts i listen to.
what about the soundcore 5 or 5 pro, huawei freebuds pro 5? any other suggestions?
Just got a pair of these for $79 after one of my AirPods fell out and was accidentally stepped on. And Ive got to say.. as far as earbuds go I think these are my favorite ones I’ve ever had. They are worlds away from AirPods in quality and I really like the app that gives you control over what the buttons do not to mention the sound quality is just other level 10/10 for me!
My partner has been seeking some because thats what is most comfortable to them. Saw a post 3 years ago about the same thing but all of those have stopped production and you cant really buy them anymore.
They were used to Gen1-2 AirPods, but they always go bad after a year, so definitely looking for something durable if you know anything!
I am using nothing phone 3, I am so confused to buy Realme air 7 buds or Nothing buds 2 plus which is best because most prefer realme for performance, nothing for connectivy &
ecosystem , which buds should I buy as a nothing user
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a last reality check before I buy. I’m currently looking for the OnePlus Buds 3, which I can grab them for ₹4,099. They look premium AF, but I'm completely stuck on whether I should just buy them or stretch my budget by another ₹1.5k – ₹2k for the OnePlus Buds 4 or Oppo Enco Air 5.
Here are my specific concerns and what I'm looking for:
1. My Audio Preferences
The Sound: I’m looking for the absolute best sound quality at this price. I love a slightly bass-heavy sound signature, but the overall music quality and clarity shouldn't be compromised (I don't want muddy vocals).
The ANC: I need decent to good Active Noise Cancellation. This will be my first time owning earbuds with ANC, so I don't have any past experiences to judge or compare against.
2. Is it worth stretching the budget?
For those who have tested both the Buds 3 and the higher-tier options (like Buds 4 / Oppo Enco Air 5):
Does the extra ₹1,500 – ₹2,000 price jump actually justify itself in terms of noticeable real-world sound quality and ANC improvements?
Or do you hit diminishing returns for someone with my music taste?
3. Benchmarking (How much better do they sound?)
To help me understand the actual audio jump, I want to know how the OnePlus Buds 3 compare to what I know. If you have owned or transitioned from any of these, how much better do the Buds 3 sound compared to:
boAt Nirvana Ion
OnePlus Z2 Neckband
CMF Buds 2A
Should I pull the trigger right now on the Buds 3 for ₹4,099, or should I wait/spend more? I would appreciate any help!
Just for the context I am based in Toronto and the currency mentioned CAD
I can see quite a few people have listed Technics AZ100 for $190 while the retail is around $300. I spoke to a couple of people and they have a similar story. My friend works in Panasonic and I get it from them and resell them.
Do you guys think it's legit? What are things I should check while buying?
I bought a pair of Sony wf-1000xm6. I'm happy with the earbuds themselves but my ears have a hard time accepting foam tips. I bought a pair of dual flange silicone tips only to find the earbuds wouldn't seat down to charge with them on. So I sent those back and bought a set of Azla Mithryl single flange silicone tips which I thought looked the same size as the foam tips but I can't charge the earbuds with these either.
It feels like Sony designed their case to fit a smaller proprietary tip. Am I wrong about this? Have I just been unlucky in my silicone choices? Can someone please suggest silicone tips that they know work with the Sony charging case?
Should I buy Realme Buds T310 from Blinkit or Amazon?
Post: I'm planning to buy the Realme Buds T310 for ₹1,799.
Both Blinkit and Amazon are selling it at the same price.
Blinkit: 7-day replacement + 1-year realme warranty.
Amazon: Sold by Cocoblu Retail but only shows 10-day Service Centre Replacement + 1-year warranty.
Which would you choose and why? Has anyone bought earbuds or electronics from Blinkit? Was the product genuine, and how was the replacement process if something went wrong?
i usually do gaming and listen to music and also need to take a lot of calls. Some people have suggested one plus nord buds 4. i wanna know everything and i am confused a lot. kindly help me out please.
