My jabra elite 75t just dead after 3 years.
Budget around 300 +/-
I'm using both samseng and ipong phone together

MPOW X3

Currently using soundpeats engine 4.
But if u like noise cancellation.. maybe fine other model

samseng buds 2 pro
rm250

You open to taking used earphones?

I have the Jabra Elite 7 Pro (bought Dec 2021), only used it at home before I bought my Airpods Pro 2 a year later.

QCY T13

RM 40 is budget earbud. RM 300 plus is consider mid range lor

Jabra elite 3/4

Anything Kenneth Tanaka recommended

Samseng buds 2 pro where got so cheap? I saw cheapest also 350. I also looking at this model.

Anker soundcore still gooding or not?

Edifier

Moondrop golden ages.
Planar drivers imaging is really good

Btw recently I tried Bose open ear buds. I'm sold!!

Over your budget but that shit is good for work and exercise

Aukey

If you can stretch your budget a little go for buds 2 pro, they sound incredibly good. I bought it from senq shopee store with coupon for 380, no idea how they mentioned 250 though.

Seen so many recommend Moondrop brand, imma planning to replace my Airpods pro.

Moondrop really > Airpods?

will easily fall off from ear or not if moving around?

beat earbuds with the red box i am using, 1+ year no issue, only thing is slip and fall out if not careful

Not all moondrop is amazing.
Some are hit and miss. Though recently it’s more hit than misses.

And no. In terms of convenience (for use with iOS) and noise cancelling/transparency, air pods pro is better.

But the moondrop golden ages is a planar iem which is quite a special feature. I personally feel the detail/ technicality is better than air pods pro.

You got to use the correct size. I use the stock size and recently went traveling (24 hour trip which was bus, flight, bus, taxi) and it didn't fall off even when I fell asleep on the bus. The only problem is the battery life but that's normal for buds this size. I get about 5 hours with anc

Need the source device to have LDAC to sound that good?

Kz, creative (coz sg > all)

I’m using this with Spotify on my iPhone, so nope…. I don’t think you need ldac to tell the difference.

Just take note planar iem tend to be a bit weaker on the bass.

In terms of factor that can affect the quality of the “song”
Mastering of a song >> lossless vs lossy > type of lossless audio coding technology

Go try cheapos https://my.shp.ee/Ua8SkKL
Hilang also won't heart ache

This is the best moondrop IEM now for RM300 budget? Last time Aria was popular? This is better than Aria?

I was assuming we are talking about wireless iem.
Hence my recommendation on the golden ages.

Aria is still good.
But everyone is waiting for the dusk.
I did try it a couple of months back and it’s pretty good.
But these days I can’t really see myself spending this much money on wired iem anymore.

Not when 90% of the time I use wireless iem. And for the remaining 10%, wired iem is only used for teams meeting.

I have a TRN BT3S Pro Bluetooth adapter that I use with a KZ ZS10 Pro.

In terms of purely sound quality, which is better? Aria or Golden ages?

Baseus AirGo AS01 - RM89

they ciplak huawei freeclip design - original huawei RM 899
baseus design is about the same but not sure about the sound quality. however huawei freeclip doesn't disappoint.
comfortable wear

tried X1S and hectate
both okay

Looking at too, but heard that mic is not good.

Yuehu 1562AE

Ugreen HiTune 3T is the best budget earbuds I bought. Good battery, audio and ANC for the pricepoint.

Lazada have
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/ugreen-h...3331993403.html

I didn't try the mic. But it should be ok if use in office.

Laptop mic then haha

Golden ages has better imaging and arguably detail.
Aria had more bass and a more fun V shaped tuning.

If you want to stick to wired at the budget, I personally recommend the truthear Hexa. I do have that, though it’s quite a waste that I only use it for teams call these days.

carosel

wired or wireless?

second this.

my edifier still going strong

had 2 JBL's before, all kong

truefree f1 oso kong

Redmi pro

Sabbat E12

Soundpeats H1

Budget 200-300rm go Soundpeats.

300rm + Anker Soundcore Liberty 4

Good noise cancellation need 400-500rm budget Samsung buds 2 pro.

No regrets Sony / Bose.

Thanks for the recommendation. How's the battery life for the golden ages?

How is the TRN BT3S Pro BT? I have a pair of KZ ZS10 pro collecting dust, thinking doing the same setup with the BT adaptor.

Park.. what earbuds good? Using sp800n...

I like it a lot more than the KZ Bluetooth adapter. The KZ adapter is very harsh, the TRN sounds a lot smoother, without losing clarity. Personally I feel the ZS10 Pro needs to be above a certain volume level to sound good, to feel that kick, but the KZ adapter always gave me ear fatigue after half an hour or so. I can wear the TRN adapter a lot longer. Also, the rubber on my KZ adapter rotted away, that's the reason why I bought the TRN.

i have the moondrop golden ages. sound quality is very good for the price and can compete with airpods a bit la. but the mic is horrible ya. if you do a lot of calls/facetime etc do not use the moondrops for it. a lot of complains on my mic hahaha

4 hours and the case being able to charge it several times.
Battery is nothing to write home about as you need more power to drive planar iems.

The case is also pretty large. I think they reuse nekocake design.

im using beats flex.. good for outdoor and on the move.. but microphone wise, u might wanna look at other model before u buy this. need to bring the mic really near to your mouth, otherwise ur voice would be very soft

Guys, any idea why my open-air Amazfit UP earbuds keep switching the song to either the left or right earbud, especially when I’m walking or strolling outside?

My phone is in my right pocket, and the song playing from Spotify often only comes through one earbud. When I tilt my head or look left or right, the song comes back on both earbuds.

I’ve checked the codecs on my A55 5G, which only has AAC and SBC, and tried both, but the issue persists. I’ve also done a factory reset on the earbuds (via the case) and unpaired/paired them again. I even turned off Dolby Atmos on the phone, but the problem still happens.

The earbuds are fully charged, as reported by the Bluetooth connection info.
