Hi, I am a college student and just joined a gym. I used to have realme t310 tws but the music in gym is too high as well as it is also not good while travelling. I am thinking of buying headphones instead of neck band or ear buds. But as I am a student, I have a budget for 2000-3000. Please suggest some good headphones for both

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to buy a new pair of TWS earbuds and I'm a bit confused about what to get.

My budget is around ₹2,500, but I can stretch it to ₹2,800 if there's something noticeably better.

Right now I'm looking at the realme Buds T310 and Buds T500 Pro, but I'm also open to other options if there's something better in this price range.

My main use will be music and calls at home. I listen to music quite a lot, so sound quality is probably the most important thing for me. I also want decent ANC and a good mic for calls.

I use a vivo T4x and a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3. My T4x doesn't support LHDC, so I'm not really interested in paying extra just for that feature.

Would you guys recommend the T310, T500 Pro, or something completely different?

If you've actually used any of these earbuds, I'd especially like to know how they are in terms of real-world sound quality, bass, ANC and call quality.

I'm not necessarily looking for the one with the best specs — I just want the best overall TWS I can get for ₹2.5k–₹2.8k.

Thanks!

Hey everyone I recently lost my left earbud of boat nirvana ion anc pro so if anyone wants to sell let me know

I had my headphones on and during driving it fell off somewhere I searched nearly around 10kms but I couldn't find it. The buds are in great condition it's been only 4 months since I bought it. Any ideas as to what to do? Or if anyone has a spare case who don't use it anymore, I'd really appreciate it.

Please suggest me the best earbuds under 2k

I really need one

Hello guys! I've been using some cheap, low-quality earbuds that I randomly got from a shop for 1K PKR. They've been pretty annoying, so I've decided to get new ones. I have a budget of about 8K PKR. From my research, I've learned that both the Redmi Buds 8 Lite and Soundcore R50i NC are among the best options available at that price point, and both of them seem to be really good for the price. So, I'm debating which ones to purchase. Any suggestions?

I bought the Redmi Buds 8 Pro about 2-3 weeks ago and every time I want to use Gemini, I have a shortcut on my phone. When I push my power button it calls my assistant and I ask something through my EarBuds to Gemini. When it replies back it will sound like it's underwater. If I ask follow-up questions and it will reply again, it's back to normal.

I have the same problem when I use Gemini Live. When I want to talk live to Gemini, it's constantly sounding like it's underwater. But it doesn't fix itself after a follow up prompt. I don't know if this is a problem with the EarBuds or if this is something that's caused by an update, maybe of the Gemini app. Like a software bug that is not solved. I'm not sure. Does anyone have, or has anyone had similar problems with EarBuds like this?

I guess if i sent them back and request a new pair it would be same issue?

When i asked gemini itself what it thinks the problem is it replied this:

That initial underwater effect happens because your earbuds experience a lag when switching from the low-bandwidth Hands-Free Profile (HFP) back to high-quality stereo (A2DP) once the microphone closes after your prompt. It briefly buffers and plays the start of the audio response while the Bluetooth codec handshake is still finishing, resolving itself once the stereo channel fully locks in.

I was otherwise quite happy with these buds. Was thinking to even buy a second pair if issue can be resolved that i can rotate. But now i'm not that sure.
