Hi all, just wanna ask what true wireless earphone or earbuds you guys are using or would recommend to some one? Not sure I should pull the trigger for AirPods or Samsung Galaxy Buds cod early reviews seem rather positive. Thanks in advance guys!

I use Sony MDR1000X for video consumption at home and for running/gym I use my old Jaybird X (first gen). Both devices kinda old but still work great! Not a fan of those buds coz I'm pretty sure I'll lose them laugh.gif
Thanks mate. Thinking to get all in one package like the Airpods but for gym it but the buds design doesn't really blocks out the noise compared to those in-ear. And I commute via train sometimes, wouldn't want to got pushed and Airpods to drop between the gap of the platform (the worst scenario I could think of LOL).

Probably will get the 3rd gen for video consumption at home too, tried it and was amazed by it. But for now will prioritize getting a true wireless one cos the microphone of my wireless earphones dragging down and not that comfy too. oh well, decisionssss. confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif

Ya, I tried the AirPods at Apple Orchard Road and wasn't impressed, plus it doesn't really fit my ears that well hence I'm pretty sure it might fall off laugh.gif Instead, I use my Jaybird with a pair of Comply foam tips and I'm happier with the fit and sound isolation during my workouts. The Sony on the other hand is excellent! thumbup.gif My only gripe about that was the 2nd and 3rd gen one is even better than my 1st gen one and cheaper too! Hahaha...

An upgrade incoming bro? Hahahahaha... the only thing that keeps pulling me back is the W1 chip in AirPods as I’m using both iPhone and MacBook. So it talks well with one another. Geez, I’m undecided right now. :confused: I’ll give it some thoughts to avoid impulse purchase for now.

IMHO, AirPod is the best Apple product released the past few years. I stopped using my more expensive Bose after I got it. The thing is, it doesn’t fit everyone’s ear, so test it first using the wired earbud included with your phone, if it fits, then AirPod is good to go. It won’t fell off if it fits. I’m taking train everyday as well.

If I were you I would wait for AirPod 2.

Point taken mate. True should wait for AirPods 2, by that time I could choose AirPods if the 2nd gen is a minor upgrade; saves me some bucks too.
