Looking for earbuds

Go to solution Solved by Isseen,

Used wf-1000xm3 for 2 years and now wf-1000xm4 for something arround 2 years and they are just awesome. Don't know your budget but you should be easy able to find them for arround 170-220

Hello, I'm looking for wireless earbuds.
I have used the galaxy iconx, buds and using now the buds 2 but i'm not happy with them as they don't fit my ear very well and at times sound muddy.

I used to have jbl reflect's and heard good things from jbl in general.

Hopefully i can get some usefull "reviews" to narrow down my search.
And no apple airpods thanks you. I have an android phone

thank you all

Samsung buds (most of the variations/versions) are considered to be among the best TWS earphones.

You probably won't get a better sound with others. Maybe a better fit, but sound hardly.

Have you considered going with a USB-C DAC and some decent IEM-s?

Let's try this; get the IEM-s named Moondrop Quarks DSP and try them out. $15 or even less.

i use Sony WF-1000XM3, they come with a lot of different tips to fit your ears, ive had them for like 2 or 3 years now and they have always fit, check them out

Dont forget to mark as solution if your question is answered

Note: My advice is amateur help/beginner troubleshooting, someone else can probably troubleshoot way better than me.

- I do have some experience, and I can use google pretty well. - Feel free to quote me I may respond soon.

true true, i have 2 of em, i could ship one out as i only use the black ones, i havent used many others but id go for a corded AND bluetooth headset, so u dont need to worry about ear compatibility and use it with everything that has bluetooth/3.5 mm jack, i know of a headset that ive been using for years and its absolutely fantastic for the prise, its the Soundcore Life Q20, hard to find any in stock but i bought it for around 90 or 60 bucks, it has a bass feature AND noise canceling and dude, ive owned 200 dollar bose headphones, these BEAT the sound quality, its insa,e, im planning on buying the Soundcore Life Q30 to try it out, but apparently it doesnt have the bass mode so ill just test it out, and return it.

Battery Life, better noise canceling and the earbuds aswell as the case are way smaller compared to xm3, having them in my pocket is no longer a pain. In Terms of sound quality - both are excelent

they were never a pain in my pocket, in fact i lost them a lot bc of the size lol, everything in my setup is black, u can see how a small valuable black case gets lost easily

no one can give you recommendation on what does and doesn't fit your ears. that's something you'll have to find out for yourself. in terms of sound, samsung stuff usually have the best tuning. "at times sound muddy" could be the low res codec that specific sauce uses. but bluetooth in general is just incapable of doing high res audio. i switched back to dongle + wired iem a while ago and will never go back to tws.
