Gemmill 45242 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I got the Amazon Echo Buds but only cos they were on a half price deal. They're fine like. They've got Bose noise reduction which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 45242 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I got them for 50 quid. I wouldn't pay more than that but I think they're £100+ full price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20328 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Ive got some Bose ones that have a wire between the ear pieces that are great sound quality but the microphone is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21741 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I've had Galaxy buds for about 3 years (first generation). They are the dogs bollocks. They come in a cool pill shaped container which you can charge wirelessly. You can then use this to charge the buds meaning you can get about 18 hours of use out of them away from a power source. They have all the gesture stuff. Sound quality is superb, as is the mic, and they're a decent price. Also if you lose them you can get your phone to make them cheep so can find them again quite easily if you're in approximately the right place (they're small and easy to misplace). Lose them in the case though and you're fucked. Pretty sure these normally come top in reviews e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/may/01/best-true-wireless-earbuds-airpods-samsung-jabra-sennheiser-anker-compared-and-ranked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4396 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I have a slightly older model of the Jabra ones from Renton's review and they're excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've dropped one in the pool and it continues to work months later also left them outside overnight through heavy rain and they continue to work. Nice fit in the ear and good audio quality. You can get them for pretty cheap now also. The newer models are supposed to be somewhat better also, including the one with active noise cancellation and they are also routinely on special.

Blastronaut 1339 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Best headphones I've ever owned are overear, wired Sennheiser cans I got for £40 in 1999. Seriously though, most Samsung tech (and just S.Korean tech in general) is way ahead of apple and other western stuff. Their bad rep mostly comes from the falsely attributed capacitor plague at the turn of the millennium and the more recently (massively exaggerated) exploding phone batteries story. I'd buy Samsung over Apple any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4160 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 https://www.jabra.com/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-elite-active-75t##100-99091001-20 I've used Galaxy Buds and they are pretty good but been using these for the last two years and have found them to be superior in just about every area. I use mine for work calls a lot and so getting one with a good mic was key for me. They've turned out great in that regard, my gripe with galaxy buds is that they seem to pick up a lot of background noise in calls. Even the new Pro ones or whatever they are called. Found the Jabra ones more comfortable to wear as well and a better fit for when you are running or exercising etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery life is incredible and the ability to mute/unmute by flicking the mic stem up/down is super useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
