>>108261441You can get world class wireless earbuds for $30. $150 will get you audiophile tier bookshelf speakers.
>>108261441Idk if better, but checkout moondrop ones. I bought a cheap pair of space travels they are great for the price. But they don't even beat chu 2.

>>108261461>unironically peak hearing safety featuresnot available when you don't use them with Apple devices, though
>>108261890I have them and I honestly don't like them at all, they always keep falling off my ears, I've got the airpods 4 and pro 2, and they fall a lot less off my ears, but on android they're a hit or miss in terms of audio quality.
>>108261935>hit or miss in terms of audio qualitythey're the best sounding tws on the market wdym
>>108261930if you bother enough it is available on android toobut if you really do bother enoughand adaptive EQ still works regardless, it will adapt to your canal resonance which is crucial
>>108261954In my oneplus nord 4 they sound alright on every application except youtube, where it somehow enables some kind of audio preset or something and it drops down the drain.That's not an issue in other phones I've tried.It's more or less the same as the usb to 3.5 adapters having extremely low volume except on pixel phones and iphones.
>>108261441The 5's are excellent. Daily driver for the last 3 years. I'd advise getting aftermarket silicone tips the foam ones blow. I got the 6's and they're not much improved besides more mics, a little better sound. The noise canceling is the same.
>>108261441I've had two sets of these and I'm not impressed. Lots of weird bugs and tge left one just died on me two months out of warranty. The foam ear tips are also disgusting.
>>108262199Actually I forgot that the pair I'm using is the original pair as the second set I got was thr one that went through the washing machine. So they lasted more like 2 years. I'm still not impressed.
>>108261441xm5 is probably the best for noise cancelling. having two simultaneous comnections is kind of nice, not sure how common LDAP support is among cheapos

>>108261441Can each earbud connect individually?I'm also looking for new ones but I want that feature in order to extend usage time
>>108261801Can each earbud connect individually?
>>108262517>root required
>>108262598You can leave one in the case and it wont turn on.
Any bud is fine on the phone, but what is the best way to connect buds to a laptop to have best quality on calls?Whenever I use headset mode on windows quality goes to shit
>>108261461Fuck off Tim
>>108261890Seconding this, might as well save a little more and wait for the buds 4 pro
curious why u want bluetooth buds when wired iems can go a long way
>>108261890i won these, the sound is good, but I fucking hate the little sticks. never fucken again
>>108263090because some of us are not autistic and contribute to society
>>108263090Wireless stays under the earmuffs.
>>108262167This. I have unusually large ear canals. I buy the namebrand "Comply" foam tips and they are the best I've had. I would prefer ear hooks though but can't do much about that. I have the XM4s and I did get a known issue where the battery killed itself a while back but then they fixed them for free so I think that's pretty chill.
>>108262952LE audio is supposed to solve that.Apple also has some proprietary solution.
>>108261461That's super deceptive. ANC isn't hearing protection, and the Airpod Pros' design makes getting a good seal hard so they're particularly bad. If you look at Apple's material on it they mention environments like gyms and sports events which aren't really ones where you need earpro either. I'm honestly surprised their lawyers would let them market them that way, they're gonna get sued to hell when somebody blows their eardrums out trying to use them as protection in an industrial environment or for shooting.
Audio quality is good, ANC is great. The major downside to these is that they are really quite fragile, and if you break any of the three components you have to get a whole new set. Be careful with them and it should be fine.
>>108263345>ANCyou completely missed the point, the adaptive EQ is what is important, it solves canal resonance problem which is important for self inflicted hearing damage from prolonged listening
>>108263247You mean these ones, anon? I got these buds recently and I'm looking for the best tips I can get.
>>108262952Try using this, it's paid but cheap enough, and it lets you try it first to make sure it workshttps://www.bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/>>108263090They're more practical when you're working in the office and need to get up to grab stuff often.
>>108263090Wired are so fucking annoying. Being tethered to a fixed point is for cattle and slaves.
>>108261935>they always keep falling off my earssamesies. I will not redeem again.
>>108261441Bluetooth is obsoleted by fox IEM.
>>108261441yea bro get the raycons
>>108264431Yep. I'm not one to recommend a brand of something so stupid as foam tips but honestly these are the only ones I've used that are worth a damn
