r/Earphones

This has actually been building up for the past few weeks in my hostel and it’s just constant noise. Some nights  people are talking outside the rooms, other nights  doors are opening and closing every few minutes, sometimes there’s random laughter or someone playing music way later than expected. Even when I try to ignore it, I just find it hard to focus and  I’ve been trying to push through it because I really need to study, but I’ve noticed I keep rereading the same notes and not retaining much. Especially at night when I feel like I should be getting my best revision time, that’s when it feels the loudest for some reason. I really need noise cancelling headphones, something that can just block all that out so I can actually sit down and concentrate without getting distracted every few seconds. I started looking around for options and got overwhelmed really fast because there are so many types, and especially on alibaba you see so many ANC headphones that all claim to be the best. Now I’m just trying to figure out what actually works for studying in a noisy room like mine.

Do anyone else feels that the design of realme and oneplus buds is pretty big and its uncomfortable to wear. I liked the design of realme buds wireless 2 it used to easily fit in my ear . Aur I think it might be the issue of my ear tips maybe I am using the wrong one

.. and I wish I’d done it sooner. I’ve tried several models of “Bluetooth” EarBuds; the "beans" one from Samsung, Buds1 Pro, Buds2 Pro, Technics AZ100, Buds3 Pro, and more - along with various types of ear tips. Always the same issues: discomfort and pain after a while, they’d fall out, but what was most annoying were the random disconnections or micro-cuts on two different Android devices. All that for prices that were usually way too high for what you get. I just bought the Marshall Mode USB-C earbuds for €49 and whar a pleasure to rediscover that “plug-and-play” comfort, no bogus apps, no equalizers or 2736 settings to fiddle with, no micro-disconnections, superior sound quality, no charging, and best of all, they stay in my ears with the pre-installed ear tips.

I have been going through a bunch of earbuds on Alibaba, and it’s honestly wild how split opinions are. One person will call a pair insanely good for the price, while another says they sound unclear and overhyped. At this point, I’m starting to wonder if it’s about the earbuds, their brand popularity or just what each of us personally prioritizes in sound. The ones with too much boom hurt my ears after a while and make the sound feel overwhelming and I can't use them for long without getting uncomfortable. Which budget earbuds have genuinely impressed you with their sound quality? The kind that made you pause and think, “okay this is way better than I expected for the price.” No brand bias, just honest experiences. The options are endless and the reviews don’t always match reality because I have been disappointed alot of times. Which earbuds can I get on a budget and actually have the best sound quality and are we all just hearing the same thing differently?

Just as the title I am trying to find some good earphones that uses a Type C connection. Budget is under $40
I am not a heavy bass head. So something neutral to bass would be great with good sound quality. Mostly listen to music. Also need to very comfortable because I am gonna wear this for like 3-4 hours straight.

So far my choices

Samsung AKG
Jbl Endurance Run 2
Apple earbuds
Jbl tune 310c
Pixel earbuds

What would be the best one around these choices? Or any other suggestions?
And I would like you to tell me why you like that earphones too

No need to have a high quality mic.
Please don’t recommend any IEM’s course they look kinda weird on public
(I already have wireless earphones)

Thank you 😊

I'm planning to buy earbuds and my research for it stops on realme air 8. Should I buy it ?

Hello,

I am searching for the in ear replacement silicone tips used for my WI-XB400 earphones. I have tried several brands on Amazon and they are always thin and filmsy and the sound quality really suffers in comparison. The Sony ones that came with the product are thicker and have a smaller hole, which must really help with sound quality.

I have sadly lost my final pair, and I do not want to risk purchasing more poor quality items from Amazon and want to buy the actual silicone tips Sony uses.

Thank you for any help :)

How is the wired ear phone quality in iPhone for song listening on YouTube music??

I work a sales job, so plenty of calling. I currently use a wired headphone to make calls but I want to switch to a wireless buds.

Environment - Most of my calls are in a place with background noise, not too much just other people making calls too, most of the times its pretty silent but there are occasions when the area is a bit noisy.

I am leaning toward airpods pro, since I have an iphone but open to any relevant suggestions based on your experience and knowledge.

Hi,

My earphones broke few days ago i had mi earphones 2 pro (left one got quieter and at the end just without any sound).

I wanted to buy some new ones so i looked for a glaxy (cuz I've a Samsung phone) but the cheaper ones aren't available to buy near me.

So i found that soundcore earphones are pretty good. And I'm trying to compare these two but it's difficult. The price is very similar at the sites so i honestly don't know what to choose. I heard good and bad opinions about liberty 5 and liberty buds.

I want a good anc but also sth stable in a ear.

Can someone help me?
