Re: Wireless in ear buds

Did somebody say "fiend?"








Are you using the ear buds for working out, running, or just for zoom meetings and casual music listening?

Re: Wireless in ear buds

They’re mostly for work/zoom calls

Tried the Zabra Elite 75. Pretty much fell out of my ears the moment I tried them. Would be very disappointed if I had bought them. Neat looking but not the fit or sound quality I was expecting

May check out the AirPods

Re: Wireless in ear buds

AirPods Pro (dunno about the normal ones) are good for work calls. Their transparency mode is incredibly natural so you don't feel that weird echo of yourself talking or like the world has been muffled. I've read the same feedback from other people. Their ANC is good too but I don't have any comparison there.

I'm waiting for the price to drop on the Sony WF-100XM4 to test it for music, the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. But I think their ANC and fit still isn't the best or the earphones are too large/heavy. AirPods Pro still wins for calls.

Thanks for that feather - I am leaning towards the Airpods Pro for the very reason you mentioned - looking for something that will sound realistic on work related calls. I was using Bose AE2 for a zoom call last night. Sounding muffled is an understatement...

if you have an iphone, air pods pro bar none. if anything else, i would recommend the Sennheiser CX Pro for bluetooth. sound quality is still nothing compared to wired IEM's but good enough.

Re: Wireless in ear buds

I bought the power beats pro and I have tried countless gels to get a good in-ear snug fit so i can enjoy that glorious over-juiced bass but I've had the worst experience with them.

I am waiting for Apple to announce the next gen Airpod Pro before I get one.

Re: Wireless in ear buds

I'm going to hold off myself for now - I am probably expecting too much in terms of fit but if I'm spending EUR 250, a perfect fit should not be too much to ask

it can be i have a pair of $700 IEM's and the included tips it came with i did not like, either silicone or foam. especially with universal fit IEM's of any kind, you may or may not have a good fit out of the box... everyone's ears are different.

good thing though about IEM tips, is that they are relatively inexpensive... ~$10-20 for 2 pairs normally. SpinFit is a brand that works for me.

FoKus Pro by Noble is out.. possibly the best looking TWS out there. early listener reviews are positive

That's sick, been waiting for audiophile IEMs to catch up. I'd love to have a custom wireless one.

I have small ears and the apple ones are great for me . They sit in the ear well. I I have bought some quite expensive earphones and they are useless for me.

Don't discount them simply because the stock tips don't fit well. SpinFit and Final Audio being the 2 top ones out there make IEM tips of varying sizes and materials that fit almost anything out there. Comply being the best for foam tips but i prefer medical grade silicone myself.
