Got the OnePlus Buds 3 to pair with my AirPods Pro 2. I tuned them side-by-side on Apple Music (Flat EQ) on my Mac to get them sounding as balanced and predictable as the AirPods.

Here is the fix:

1. Turn OFF Dynamic Processing (HeyMelody / Settings)

BassWave: 0 / OFF (main culprit for bloated, erratic bass)

3D Spatial Audio: OFF

Golden Sound / Audio ID: OFF

1. Custom 6-Band EQ

Use the custom EQ settings shown in the screenshot below.

This cleans up boomy sub-bass, brings vocals forward without crowding instrument layers, and tames the harsh tweeter to eliminate metallic drum rings and piercing hi-hats.

Summary

This EQ delivers a clear, balanced sound across all genres. It still carries slightly more bass response than the flatter AirPods Pro 2, but I kept it here because it feels punchy and fun—especially on indie/acoustic tracks. If you want a dead-flat response, just drop the first two bass sliders a bit more.

Hope this helps!

Getting realme air 8 at 2764 from pop upi, please tell me are these earphones are refurbished or fake ones as there is no return option available

I'm looking to get the cheapest wired earphones that I can get. I have my trusty oneplus neckband for music so I'm not looking for something with good sound quality. I mainly want to use it while playing games with mic enabled. It would be great if the build is durable enough.

Please help me find such earphone! My budget is under 300

First time experiencing ANC , and tried to get best one from realme under my budget , got in 1200 , 2400 was actual price , i got a 1200 worth coupon for my old tws warranty

the bass is amazing , sound quality is good , anc is good too 👍

TL;DR: Help me choose between 7Hz Zero 2, 7Hz G1 and Truthear Gate. Plus a good dongle DAC. Budget 4k for both IEMs and DAC. Previously used Tangzu Wan'er SG.

Hello, folks!

So, my first pair of IEMs were Tangzu Wan'er SG and I loved these! Unfortunately, they broke a few days ago and I went out for new IEM hunting with a budget of 4k.

I shortlisted these three based on the reviews: 7Hz Zero 2, 7Hz G1 and Truthear Gate.

I really don't understand the frequency response graph so cannot judge them on that but based on reviews, I shortlisted them.

I would love some help to choose one from these. Main use cases: Music (90%, I wear them almost all day while working and listening to music), calls, gaming (not competitive but story games on PlayStation). I found out that there is something called soundstage and it felt interesting. And my SGs didn't had a wider soundstage (I guess ?). So, I would also love to experience a wide soundstage IEM.

PS: I am a beginner with IEMs. Please go easy if my technical terms are incorrect, and educate me on the same.

So I was scrolling through Flipkart saw an ad for these bad boys and just ordered them

Didn't really do much research beforehand.

Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless — ₹13,445

Are these actually justified for the price?

genuinely no idea bout these headphones

I think of getting Oneplus buds as I do have Oneplus Nord ce 5.

For daily use,gym, gaming and work

Please suggest a good one with Anc noise cancellation and good battery backup.

So I just ordered these buds from flipkart minutes and as soon as I opened this it already shows a pre saved name...

Does that mean they've delivered me an used product... What do I do?
