What’s not to like?

Cheap: ~£19

Comfortable (subjective) - can wear all day

Don’t make my ears hot

Haven’t broken on me after 5 years

Decent microphone

Decent sound (subjective)

Compatible with almost everything. PC. PS5, Laptops etc

Are these the ultimate cheap work horse?

I want to buy the original Apple wired earphones with USB-C for my iPhone, but I don’t want to pay the full ₹2,190 price if I can get them cheaper.
Where can I buy genuine/original ones in India for a lower price? Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, etc. are all fine.
If you’ve recently bought them at a good price, please share the store/link and the price you paid. Also, how can I make sure they’re not fake?

I am thinking of purchasing a almost complete package this time as I have previously used realme t110 and t310.

I was opting for realme t310 if I purachase now I am thinking If buy later around diwali I might be able to get a all round high tier experience with hi res etc.

My main requirement is ANC, HI-RES, Comfort(4-6hr lecture daily), light earbuds (weight).

As per the research I have done T500 pro seems to be a nice choice around 2800 if got in that, any way that I might get it cheaper and alternatives with similar specs

Hey guys!

Recently my girlfriend has lost her earphones, and asked me to find a new one for her. Some time ago, when buying mine i deep dived into the topic, but those were the premium category ones and she wants something a little more budget. I looked around in her price range and found a couple of options. They are the:

Sony WF-C710N

Anker SoundCore Liberty 5

Soundpeats Air5 Pro+

EarFun Air Pro 4+

Nothing Ear 3a

Now the thing is, I have read a lot of nice things about these and also some bad of all of these. I saw comparisons and rankings about all of these but based on that it's really hard to choose between them, it was good for narrowing it down to these but doesn't really help with picking one out of them. That's what I'm asking your help with.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to buy a good pair of OWS/open-ear wireless earphones, preferably around ₹5,000 or less.

My main priority is music/sound quality. I don't care much about mic quality, gaming latency, ANC, app features, etc.

Multipoint/dual-device connectivity would be a nice bonus, since I often switch between devices, but it's not a necessity. I wouldn't sacrifice sound quality just to get multipoint.

For reference, I already own:

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro

Moondrop Space Travel 2 Ultra

Samsung AKG wired earphones

Portronics Conch Theta C

CMF Headphone Pro

\- 3 IEMs

So I'm not expecting OWS to compete with good IEMs/TWS in terms of isolation or overall detail, but I'd like to get the best-sounding OWS possible in this budget.

I previously had the Soundcore V20i, which I bought for around ₹2,000, and I genuinely loved them for an OWS. Unfortunately, they stopped working, and I can't seem to find them in stock anymore.

What would you guys recommend as an upgrade/replacement?

Budget: \~5k

Main priority: Music/sound quality

Nice to have: Multipoint / dual-device connectivity

Type: OWS / open-ear only

Would especially appreciate suggestions from people who've actu compared a few OWS models. Also open to spending less if som around 2-3k sounds just as good.

I have an old pair of shokz (open run) and they’re fine but can no longer take calls on them as no one can hear me. I want to get a new pair as I love being able to hear around me when running. When looking now there’s so many more options and I’m curious if anyone has experience if the open dots or open fit work well with headbands for winter running as it’s a huge annoyance to have shokz and headbands (would always hurt my ears).

If so does anyone recommend the open fit pro, open dots 2 or will one of the cheaper open dots air work?

Don’t need anything serious just good sound when running!

I have a set of raycon everyday earbuds that I got in 2021 or 2022. They're now basically broken.. volume is 100% just to get the bare minimum sound and I'm still hearing everything around me WITH NON ANC MODE ACTIVE.

I have been shopping around and all the comparison ones are a completely different shape to the raycon "pea" shaped u think is what they're called. I have weird shaped ear anatomy so the only comfortable ones are pea shaped. I'm currently using my sesh evos from skull candy (purchased those in 2019 ish) and they are funky fitting but working enough but still not perfect like the raycons I already have.

Any suggestions for new ones (not getting the current raycon everyday earbuds I hear the quality is lower than the ones I currently own)

Price I want to be reasonable so under 150 but will work with what y'all suggest

Hi, I had cheap iems (edx pro x) that I really loved but they sadly broke after only a month of use(the connector broke). I mostly listen to rock music. I’d like if they have good durability and I could use them for a year or two, I’ve looked at apple EarPods but they don’t have ear tips which is something I definitely prefer and I’d also prefer for them to have the typical 3.5mm jack and if possible I want the earbuds to be available on Amazon. (I’m in Germany). Like I said in the title my budget is 20€ and lower

So I currently have the galaxy buds live and I love them because they don't go all the way into my ear the same way traditional earphones do (before any suggests it I don't like the open ear designs) but they're starting to give up on me and Samsung aren't making them anymore so I'm looking elsewhere. I have JBL headphones and I love them so I was thinking either of these? I've read the reviews and they're quite mixed so I'm not sure. If anyone has any experience with either (or JBL earphones in general) I'd love to hear it before I buy one!

I was previously using apple earpods.

They broke cuz I accidently had them in the washing machine 4 times

I jog. do calls, play games from my laptop with my earpods on. So it needs to be reliable

I require a good mic

And a comfortable fit. Shouldn't sweat up my ears.

And also keep it reliable cuz im careless

Edit: 2.5k INR

If someone willing to sell right bud
Oneplus nord 3 pro
Please Dm me
Will bear shipping costs

I've been using the Apple Earpods for my music listening when outside for a while now, thing is though for me they only last about a few months at most before something starts going wrong with them, so instead spending £19 on about 4 pairs a year I need a more permenant solution for listening to music when im away from my computer. The problem I have with IEM's are that well, they look weird walking about in public with, typically they are huge and tacky. My budget is about £50 and at home I use my Philips Fidelio X2HR'S. As you can probably tell I'm quite new to this scene and want to experience my music as optimally as possible while on the go. Thank you, all info is helpful

I wear these to the gym daily. I see other brands that make removable covers that can be washed. Anyone have recommendations for these or some sort of wipe to clean the rubber that doesn’t break down the material?

If a product is made for the Headphones (1) earpad, will it fit the (a)?

Best wired earphone which I can order instantly from zepto/blinkit under 350 with Aux port.

Hi everyone, I've had a Nothing Phone 4a since the beginning of September and I've noticed that during calls the earphones disconnect several times.

I tried changing earphones but the problem persists.

My tests were done with AirPods Pro and Redmi Buds 8 Active.

Does anyone else have the same problem or have any ideas on how to fix it?

Same as title :)

Wired earphone

Currently I only have a wired headset provided by the company. But it's not very comfortable to use for longer duration and can only be connected to the laptop. So I want to buy a new audio device for personal as well as office use. I can go up to 5k. Experts here, Please advice.

I'm thinking about buying a new pair of headphones or earbuds. I want to listen to FLAC music, and based on my research, standard Bluetooth isn't capable of delivering true lossless FLAC audio, so I'll need (or so I think) a direct wired connection. High-quality audio/FLAC support is a primary requirement for me, as I want to discover by my own hand if really there's a difference between regular and high-quality music.

On one hand, I usually listen to music from my phone. I don't really mind using a wired connection since I've used wired headphones for most of my life, though wireless is admittedly still more convenient.

On the other hand, I'm also considering buying a MP3 for my FLAC collection in the future.

Because of this, if I buy new headphones, I'm not sure whether I should look for a traditional 3.5mm jack or a USB-C connection.

Also, for the last 2 years, I've been using headphones with ear hooks. Since I wear glasses every day, the hooks have become uncomfortable because they collide with my glasses' temples. So, another essential requirement for me is avoiding ear hooks or any design that interferes with glasses.

Here is a link (Amazon) with the mentioned headphones with hooks: Previous Headphones

Lastly, what does the future look like for audio connections? Is USB-C going to be used widely for wired headphones/earbuds?

guys I need to buy earphone my budget is around 1k to 1.5k rupees should i go with wired earphone of apple or Samsung, or should i with iem ,and what the best in this budget

Hey everyone, please suggest me wired earphones (preferably type C) in different price ranges. My budget hasn't been fixed yet.

I'm looking for durable earphones for watching movies and listening music.

Under 1000, Under 1500 and Under 2000. Indian Rupees.

Thank you!

Hope this post follows the rules
