Recommendation Wanted: True-Wireless Earbuds

Calcifer on 18/12/2017 - 14:59

Currently using some Meizu EP51s as my regular go-to for the gym. Sound is pretty good, but Im find the cable a bit annoying and the earbuds regularly fall out during cardio, regardless of which size buds I use

Had my eye on the true wireless buds from CrazyBaby since their original crowdfunding campaign, and I've seen more and more of this style released to the market (at substantial premium). There's a fair few cheap models with mixed reviews, and then a line of big-name buds that cost upwards of $200 at least

Can anyone recommend some good "true wireless" earbuds that don't cost an arm and a leg?

eg Sony SF1000X are ~ $250, but get 2 star ratings

    Had the AirPods for 10 months. Would highly recommend them if you have a iPhone.

    Non iPhone, my go to recommendation is BOSE.

    I think anker released a set as well. They are meant to be decent I believe.

      I'm an Android user. Aside from that I simply don't get the appeal of the Airpods. I'm sure they sound great. But I think they're ugly

      Bose is pretty pricy. Solo Liberty + (by Anker) looks decent. Not sure how people can judge their merit if they're not out til Jan 2018

    I've been using Mpow Cheetah 2 (about $30 from US Amazon) headphones, and they are surprisingly good.
    I specifically wanted something like that as I use it while running outdoors and didn't want the earbuds falling out.

    The back band shape makes it tension and sit securely in place.

      I've seen some good reviews of these. Wasn't sure how much I could trust them

      How's sound quality?

        It is actually pretty good. Feels like it's even better than the default Samsung headset. The shape makes the earbud seal in to provide good bass.

        Not as good as the QC 35, but I have nothing else to compare against ;)

        I'm no sound connoisseur though.
