My in-ears usually start bothering me once I get sweaty, so I’ve been trying the Baseus MC2 at the gym. I expected clip-ons to pinch, but the soft cushion in the photo sits against my ear instead of hard plastic. It feels gentler than I thought, and nothing is stuck in my ear canal.

I can still hear the gym around me, which won’t be for everyone. Comfort-wise, though, I’m liking them so far. Anyone else work out with clip-ons?

I'm looking for something open-ear because I don't really like having silicone tips in my ears, but I still want decent bass. Budget is around $100 max. Mostly for music, commuting and just wearing them for a few hours at a time. I know open-ear usually means giving up some bass, so I'm curious what people here have actually tried that surprised them in that area. Any recommendations?

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a pair to be used for video calls at work (so good ANC and mic) and running. I was using Jabra Active 2 for the last 4 years and absolutely love it from the fit to functions. Sadly, it has come to the end of its life.

Checking around now that Jabra is no longer producing. I'm considering the Technics AZ100 but it seems there are many reviews having problems less than 1 year. MTW5 is also considered, but not sure how it will stay while running.

I'm living in a hot climate, the Jabra had no issue staying in my ears despite sweaty runs.

Budget preferably 300 SGD, max 400 SGD. Thank you in advance.

Is anyone here familiar with Vipex? I bought a pair of earbuds by them off of Amazon quite a while ago (six years maybe?) and they're finally starting to wear out. These worked very well for me because they are the style that doesn't go into the ear canal at all, similar to airpods (or maybe airpods a generation back). It seems they have unfortunately gone out of business or I would just buy another pair.

I've never done well with earbuds that go into the ear canal. Whether it's because I have small ear canals or because of the shape of my outer ear I couldn't say, I just know that they're either uncomfortable or tend to fall out.

I'm looking for replacement recommendations from anyone who has had a similar experience with finding earbuds that work for them. I read around a little bit online and have tried both the Beats Solos and JBL Tune Flex 2. The solos were uncomfortable and would fall out of my ears. The Tune Flex 2 seemed like they would work because of the shape and the non sealed tip option, but they seem to be too small and fall out of my ears as well. Which is a shame because they're relatively inexpensive and the audio sounds great to me.

My partner has a pair of air pods (the second generation, I believe) and they feel great, but I have an android phone and from what I've read they just wouldn't sound very good with my phone. Any ideas?

I’ve gotten to the age where I actually care about my hearing. I’ve also had head injuries that make me more susceptible to headaches etc. There’s plenty of concerts I want to go to, and working with trucks and construction can be super loud also.

I’ve seen plenty of Loop ads, as to whether they’re actually good, unsure. Just seeing what people prefer. I’m also petite so size options would be ideal.

I recently got the Shokz OpenFit 2 SE Earbuds, and I’ve been wearing them for a couple of weeks. I don’t like them. I’m looking for earbuds in the same price range that have the same good qualities without the bad.

THE BAD: My ears hurt so, so much. I don’t even wear these that often, and I keep the volume relatively low. Jesus Christ, my ears are fucking killing me. they hurt all the time. I genuinely cannot use these earbuds anymore because it’s so painfully what the hell. also, no noise cancellation sucks.

THE GOOD: The fit is nice. I never worry about them falling out, which is a big deal for me because most earbuds don’t fit my ears so I need the wrap around feature. and I love that you can pause, skip tracks, and raise the volume using buttons on the earbuds instead of having to get your phone out all the time. additionally I like the way you can mess with the eq in the app.

TLDR: looking for earbuds with noise cancellation, good fit support, eq customization, and buttons, but ones that are comfortable and don’t make my ears hurt.

I'm starting a new job as a real estate agent in New York City and looking to invest in a high-quality pair of wireless earbuds. I need to get new earbuds that will allow me to make phone calls while walking the streets without having any noise interference on either end. Ideally, I'd like to hear callers clearly while also minimizing traffic, wind and other city noise on their end. I'll be wearing them for hours throughout the day, so they need to be comfortable. I also listen to music very often while commuting—sound quality is also a priority. I use an iPhone, and my budget is flexible for something reliable and high-quality.

I'm currently considering the AirPods Pro 3 and Sony WF-1000XM6, but I'm open to other recommendations. Which earbuds would you recommend, specifically in terms of microphone quality, comfort and sound quality?

Hi! I'm looking for a pair of wired IEMs mainly for playing Overwatch, but I'm not really sure what to get, so I'd love some recommendations! :)

My budget is around $100 or less, and I'm looking for something wired and in-ear.

Since I'll mostly be using them for Overwatch, good positional audio is probably my biggest priority! I'd love something that makes it easy to hear footsteps and tell where enemies are coming from.

I'm also not a huge fan of when certain frequencies stand out too much. I personally prefer a more balanced, natural sound without the bass or treble being overly emphasized. Ideally, I'd like something that sounds good out of the box without having to mess around with EQ settings.

I'd also really appreciate something durable since I tend to use my stuff for a long time!

Does anyone have any recommendations that might fit what I'm looking for? Thank you so much in advance!! ♡

under 100 preferably

How good are these ? How's the sound quality and ergonomics?

Please share your opinions if you have used them?

I have lost mine. The official store doesn't sell it anymore, it is impossible to find it on ebay and similar stores. Found a few German ones, but price is too high

Anyone from Europe here who has it and is willing to sell it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

I bought Samsung a25 ultra in sale today. And I have Apple AirPods Pro 2. Earlier I used IPhone. Due to it’s expensive price I didn’t want to buy it

So is it okay to use the AirPods or should I sell them and buy galaxy buds

thank u

need opinion for these two earbuds. Whats better in terms of call quality and anc.

I've been looking for budget earbuds to mainly wear to the gym and on an airplane. The first brand recommended to me was Moondrop, and I reckon that for my purposes, Puddings were worth the extra $20 over Space Travel 2.

Reading more reviews and recommendations, I've reached a point of analysis paralysis. I ran my neckband-style Bose Soundsport into the ground over the last eight years, and if I'm planning to stay faithful to one pair over the next eight, I want it to be a good one.

Any recommendations for earbuds around $50 that I should consider over the Puddings? I'm concerned they have no waterproof rating but ANC and EQ customization are important to me, and I hear those are Moondrop's strengths. TIA.

Title, AM SCARED

My earbuds (JBL vibe beam 2, if anyone was wondering) have stopped working rather quickly, and I believe it might be a result of my working environment as a dishwasher. I've been told it could be earwax buildup, and I do plan on testing out cleaning it, but I'm fairly certain the steam that comes with my working environment isn't compatible with my earbuds, which has made them quickly become quieter and quieter, to the point where I have to have them on max volume to even hear anything.

Suggestions would be appreciated, especially from anyone who may work as a dishwasher as well, and has had their earbuds hold up over time. Less expensive options would be preferred, as I can't blow too much money on these.

Hello everyone I hope you all are doing well, so basically I posted about reviewing the Roseselsa Ceramics Ultra quite a while back and now I am posting a review after using them properly for four months. To keep the review simple I am going to call the Roseselsa Ceramics Ultra Rose.

So here is my review of Rose -

1. Box content - The buds come with a type A to C cable and 3 sets of silicon eartips and one set of medium sized foam eartips.

2. Build quality - The build is pretty good considering the price, the hinge is solid and the case is really scratch resistant so you can easily carry them in your bag and pockets without worrying about scratches.

3. Sound quality - The Rose sounds really great for the price and can be compared to IEMs like Tanchjim Bunny. The default tuning of the Rose is pretty flat and boring, and also a little sharp to the ears without much body in the sound. But many people may like that but I listened to it on the pop more and the review is based on the pop mode specially. In the pop mode the bass gets a little body and the set sounds more lively and warm, comfortable to listen to while enjoying the music.

The bass isn't overdone it's just in the perfect amount giving you the fun thumps for kick drums and bass guitar. The vocals are really clear, female vocals sound pretty natural and good with just a little coloration in the pop mode. The male vocals also sound really good but they sometimes sound just a little thin, but that's not noticeable enough. The treble area isn't piercing and done in a soft way, it sounds airy but doesn't pierce your ears.

ANC, Transparency mode - The ANC is pretty decent in the Rose it's not top tier nor bad, the transparency mode is also decent. But it's nowhere near the Oneplus buds 4. It's more comparable to a more budget friendly set Realme Buds Air 7. But I do love the wind noise isolation mode and use the Rose with the wind noise isolation mode all the time.

Comparisons :-

OnePlus Buds 4 Vs Roseselsa Ceramics Ultra - I don't actually own the OnePlus buds 4 as I returned them after using them for a few days because the bass was too much for me so I borrowed my friend's OP Buds 4 for this comparison.

The OnePlus buds 4 has a much more bass heavy sound signature and even after using the EQ you can't turn that down much and if you turn it down all the way the buds sound really bad. But the OnePlus buds 4 is really enjoyable for people who love quality bass in their songs, the vocals are decently clear although the male vocals do blend with the bass giving it a much thicker appearance and female vocals sound a little more boomy compared to the Rose. Because of the bass the vocals can sound muddy in a lot of tracks. The treble on the OnePlus buds 4 is much more laid back and warm giving you a really comfortable listening for long hours of listening.

Overall if you value sound quality and want something that sounds closer to an IEM like the Tanchjim Bunny then the Rose is the best earbuds in the segment to purchase, but if you value ANC, Transparency mode, better microphone then the OnePlus buds 4 is the best TWS earbuds in the price.

The issues I faced with the Rose - So it's not always all cherry on top of the sugar right ? I faced some really annoying problems with the Rose, it wasn't connecting with the application after the first update I got then this issue got fixed with the second firmware update but the much bigger issue of connection drops was still there and it's still annoying me. Whenever I am listening to music it randomly drops connection that's just annoying. I hope this gets fixed with another update in the future. So yes the Rose isn't a completely polished product.

just for casual listening to music nothing fancy. Idk I soemriems don’t like the feel of ones that go in ur ear because they fall out but I feel like everyone is looking at me funny when I have the big ones on. I’ve never rlly worn either properly before. Any recommendations. I’m in the UK if that’s any help. Sick of holding my phone to my ear to listen to music 😭🤣

I've been wondering for a while now which earbuds to buy. I have the QCY Melobuds Pro - they sound is good, but the ANC could be better, and call quality is a bit poor. Which ones would you choose and why?
