Recommend me some Headphones

[ForceIndia]

Got my hands on some galaxy buds pro to try. They're decent, but overpriced.

The sound is good (nothing special though), but the noise cancelling isn't up to the other options available at similar money. They feel pretty cheap as well.

They're pretty discrete when in, and the case is small.

 

[Gally]

Noise cancelling is never something I've noticed on many headphones. My current ones once they are in, I can't hear anything. Nothing. Maybe it's a good seal but most buds I have tried have no leak.

What are you comparing against?

Genuine question btw. I've never had half decent noise cancelling earphones before the buds pro, so nothing really to compare against. They seem decent but then I got them for nothing with the phone. Not sure how I'd feel paying 200 quid for them!

 

[Gally]

It's so competitive that some company can make anc a bit cheaper. I think the buds pro are lovely. The fit is lovely and super discreet like Warren said. Notice a bigger difference between the plus and pro when running.

The Panasonic's I linked above. They're the best buds I've tried for ANC (although they are bulky), even moreso than the sonys. But the Huawei freebuds pro offer better ANC as well. The lack of controls is frustrating after the buds plus as well.

The fit is odd, they never feel really stable, but they never actually move. In fairness, now they're available under £150, it's a more sensible price. At £220, there are some pretty premium options and the buds pro feel very, very cheap in comparison.

So as said, I lost my old one, upgraded to these. Arrived yesterday, and lost them again! Thankfully found then wedged down the side of the car seat. Such a decent product, bass is brilliant.

 

[Gally]

How's the fit?

Superior

They're really good, the sports version even moreso. They have a rubberised coating, so they don't budge.

Second pair of Surface Headphones started to fall apart just 4 months in loved those things but decided to chop in for something different (can't fault John Lewis again, complete refund no hassle 22 months after original purchase)

Went for WH-1000XM4 this time. Definitely not as premium feeling, in fact I would say they feel a bit cheap. However sound is good and the noise cancellation (whilst not something particularly important to me) is incredible. Only annoying thing I've found so far is when I turn them on, I have to manually connect via Bluetooth settings on my laptop each time, whereas my Surface Headphones connected automatically. If anyone else has these, is there anything I can do about that?

 

[Crazylegs]

I've bought some Pioneer HDJ X5 from Argos. They're really comfortable headphones, wired only so no Bluetooth.

The sound although good isn't as good as I was expecting but it's very clear, they're super comfortable and the wire is nice and thick and the headphones feel premium and very well made. £89 from Argos.

Only jabra seem to consistently allow multi point

Love my Jabra 75t

 

[CrippsCorner]

I just got some wireless earbuds free with my new TV. Terrible quality though, literally no bass. Who'd pay £90 for them f**k knows. They are convenient though, so I'll probably keep them for watching TV at work or podcasts etc.

I have the previous model the M3's and they used to do that when connecting to my laptop, now it's almost instant.

I never changed anything.

Possibly trying unpairing and repairing them.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Cheers I've found it does connect automatically as long as I've turned the Surface on first. A small adjustment but easy enough to get used to. Very impressed with these over the past week I must say bass is fantastic and so comfortable.

The the range definitely isn't as good as the Surface Headphones though... I did read that was one of the best thing about those. Can't go for a piss now without being disconnected lol.

They are fantastic. The fit is great, very comfortable for prolonged periods. Noise cancelling is great, and with a bit if eq tweaking the sound is brilliant.

 

[Gally]

I really like the design, I imagine they sound immense. I refuse to change buds until I can have multi device, anc not important neither is sound really for me. Multi device is the only thing I notice and I don't really want the jabras.

Was really hoping the sonys were the answer ffs!

Does anyone use any really low-profile ones? My current AirPods are showing their age now and I also have to wear them upside down when I have my MTB helmet on

The flatter to your ear the better really.

Galaxy buds plus. Or, these are fantastic, I've had a set as back up for a while. They're the smallest ANC buds around I think, under a helmet they're superb. And way better sound than airports.

These New EarFun True Wireless Earbuds Sound Great But Do They Cut Out The Noise?

True wireless earbuds with active noise canceling are normally expensive. The EarFun Free Pro earbuds offer noise canceling at an affordable price. But how effective are they at cutting out unwanted noise?

Of the 2, if they were the same price, I'd get the earfuns.

Awesome. For £60 I'll give those a go first then!

Just got some Sennheiser HD 450BTs for the gym and work, initial impressions, they're fab. Switchable noise-cancelling on a single button for DC work is epic!

Sound quality is really good, not too tight on my bonce but definitely don't feel like they're gonna move a mm when running

Anyone that runs in over ears, definitely hangs out too close to primary schools.

Anything equal to or better VFM than the Powerbeats Pro?

Looking for wireless but something that'll hold in which I struggle with without the ear hooks.

Is there a decent set of wireless earbuds for around £50?

Not too bothered about fully noise cancelling. I know (and bought) the RHA's and Sound Magic E10s was recommended for sub £50 a few years ago, but wasn't too sure on wireless buds.

These will be used if I go for a walk or am doing tinkering jobs, not be used daily.

Despite their silly name they get really good reviews, just bought a set for the mrs father. Was a tenner cashback on the black coloured ones as well.

Another option at that price are House of Marley

@R3k1355 have you experience both sets to compare?

@riz how much you looking? Any pics of the ones you have?

Watched a few comparison and review videos on a few earbuds, including the ones mentioned above. Seems that the Earfun free Pro gets great reviews so I've ordered those.

Amazon was doing a deal and managed to get them for £47.

I need some new headphones for my holiday.

Any recent recommendations before I buy some airpods?

Anker’s new Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro earbuds support high-quality LDAC audio

$170 for earbuds that offer LDAC sounds pretty tempting.
