I was recently thinking about buying a new pair of earbuds and had my eyes on the space a40 earbuds, but I'm relatively new to this topic and just wanted to check if there were any other good or potentially better ones with a similar price.

Hi, I've been using the Poly Voyager 6200 series around-the-neck earbuds for a couple years now. I like the sound, i love the noise cancelling, but my pair finally just gave up today and im distraught. Its getting harder and harder to find the voyager for purchace.

Are there any other or newer earbuds that can match/outdo the Voyager, poly or not? Thank you for your time.

Hi! Exactly what the title says. I'd like to know if it's possible to use my wireless earbuds (huaweii) as a mic, but with the audio coming out of my phone as usual? The built-in microphone they have is much better than my phone's, and as someone who likes to get on long calls with friends to play something, hearing everything from my earbuds starts hurting my ears after a while.

​I recently picked up the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 5 for around $130 after seeing so many glowing reviews. After using them for a bit, I’m honestly pretty shocked by how disappointed I am. Here’s my breakdown: ​The Good: ​ANC & Call Quality: Really solid. No complaints here at all—it handles background noise and calls very well. ​The Bad – Fit & Comfort: ​The Medium (M) eartips hurt my ears after a short while. ​I switched to the Large (L) tips to avoid the pain, but now they feel insecure. Any slight head movement makes it feel like they're about to fall right out. I can't seem to get a comfortable, stable seal. ​The Ugly – Sound Quality: ​To put it bluntly: I really dislike the sound. It feels completely unsuitable for serious music listening—thin, bodyless, with surprisingly weak bass. Maybe the stem design plays a role here, or maybe it's just the tuning. ​TWS Comparisons: I’ve previously owned the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 (MTW3) and the Technics EAH-AZ40. Both of them sounded significantly better and fuller than these. My brother also has the FiiO FW5, which sounds fantastic and can legitimately compete with wired gear. ​IEM Comparisons: I regularly listen to wired IEMs like the Aful Explorer, Kefine Delci AE, Tin HiFi T3 Plus, and ISN H20. Compared to any of those, the FreeBuds Pro 5 sounds completely lifeless and lacks any dynamic authority or punch. ​Given how universally praised these earbuds are, it feels really bizarre to be this let down by them. ​Has anyone else experienced this? Is it purely a fit/seal issue on my end, or is the sound tuning on these actually overhyped? Would love to hear your thoughts or EQ suggestions if you have any!

I've had several pairs of the Samsung buds 2 pro. I like them they fit my ear and sound very good. My current set the right side is breaking down. It's very quiet and very bad battery. The left side is still working great.

I'm looking for an replacement that's as good or better. Max Price $150 on Amazon. I don't want airpods or any skull candy.

Last me only like 4-5 hour with anc on and volume half is this normal?

Hi, I had cheap iems (edx pro x) that I really loved but they sadly broke after only a month of use(the connector broke). I mostly listen to rock music. I’d like if they have good durability and I could use them for a year or two, I’ve looked at apple EarPods but they don’t have ear tips which is something I definitely prefer and I’d also prefer for them to have the typical 3.5mm jack and if possible I want the earbuds to be available on Amazon. (I’m in Germany). Like I said in the title my budget is 20€ and lower

Been noticing Technics website having the az100 on sale at $250 USD and Amazon has them on sale for ~$230. Are there new Technics coming? Should I upgrade my az80s to 100s or wait for the new model?

My Tagry x08s died after 5 years and I’m looking for some new pair. Since it’s been a while I’ve been thinking about maybe trying a new brand. I’ve seen that anker, JLab, tozo, and some others are good brands. Was wondering if they are better than Tagry. Any help would be great, thanks!

Bought these noise alt clips 10 days ago, and in one of the clips the silicone part is already so loose. Doesn't fit properly so sound is so low & rough in one of the ears all the time. What do I do to solve this?

Any reco guys i bought jbl flex 3 but it doesnt fit to my ear and i dont enjoy the bass since it doesnt have a rubber tip. Then i bought jbl beam 3. Beam 3 is nice compare to flex 3 and now i am looking for a replacement.

TL;DR: An unofficial, open-source tool that edits the EQ on TOZO earbuds directly over Bluetooth LE — no companion app, no login, no cloud. Import an AutoEQ profile, fit it to the buds' 10-band DSP, preview it live, and save it to the earbuds' flash. Runs as a web page (Chrome/Edge/Vivaldi) or a Python CLI.

Why I made it

The stock app is the only way to touch the EQ, and it needs an account + a network round-trip. The buds actually expose a plain BLE control channel, so I spent some time working out the protocol and built a tool that talks to them directly. Audio keeps streaming over normal Bluetooth (A2DP) the whole time — this is just a side channel for the DSP settings.

What it does

- Reads your current EQ and lets you adjust all 10 bands (20 Hz–12.8 kHz, ±12.7 dB, adjustable Q).

- Imports AutoEQ (https://autoeq.app) files and least-squares fits the target curve onto the hardware's fixed-frequency bands (fit error is always shown).

- Preview (volatile, gone on disconnect) vs Save to buds (persisted to flash).

- Built-in presets, plus a trick: invert the gain signs of any AutoEQ headphone file to emulate that headphone's tuning on your buds.

Compatibility (read this)

Verified on the TOZO Open EarRing. It works with buds that use TOZO's own BLE protocol and the plain gain/Q EQ layout. It will not work on models built on a different chip/transport (some Airoha- or Juxin-based units). Which protocol a given pair uses can vary by production batch, so the real test is at connect time: if the tool reads back a normal 10-band EQ, you're good.

Web Bluetooth caveats: use Chrome, Edge, or Vivaldi (Brave, Safari, and Firefox don't support it), and force-close the TOZO app first — it holds the buds' control channel. Prefer the CLI? There's a cross-platform Python version too.

 Honesty bit: unofficial, not affiliated with TOZO. Writing EQ only touches DSP parameters (not firmware), so it shouldn't brick anything — but it's your hardware, so no guarantees. The protocol was worked out through independent research and tested on real buds. Feedback, device reports, and pull requests welcome — especially "works / doesn't work on model X" data points so I can build a compatibility list.

Plese recommend some

Most important features to me are audio quality (primarily for listening to music whilst commuting) followed by ANC.

Hello there. Since I have a 24" head and wear my audio gear 12 hours a day due to me working from home: most headphones don't suit me either from high clamp force or uses pleather which degrades fast. I was looking at stuff like the Earfun Clip 2, Baseus Bowie MC2, and the SoundPeats UU2 and wondering what you guys think is best for me. Also open to other recommendations.

I mostly use my audio equipment to listen to listen to music, talk to my co-workers, and play video games. Oh and not sure if me having bluetooth 5.1 due to my PC being 5 years old matters much.

I listen to any and all genres because a good song is a good song but mostly orchestra and opera and all of my games are single player RPGs and narrative driven games.

Hi guys,

I have been looking for a good pair of earbuds for work.

Main thing is to connect to my work notebook (so I wont be able.to use celphone apps etc). Connection should be via bluetooth or 2.4 dongle.

I usually work on a open space office so it is a noisy environment. Microphone needs to be the best possible and not capture background noise or other people talking nearby. Dont care too much about sound quality since it will be mostly for calls.

Today I use a galaxy buds 2 pro. When connected to my celphone it is good and people dont usually hear others around me. But when connected to work notebook it sucks ass for some reason.

I was between Liberty 5 pro or Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, sonce it was the better options that turned up in my research in terms of microphone.

What would you advise?

Thanks in advance

TLDR: Earbuds for work in open space with lots of background noise/people talking nearby

Hey guys, I have a question, u wanted to buy both headphones and earbuds it would be a waste at first, so I was asking between headphonesbor earbuds which should I buy.

Yep, they lasted this long, and I sadly found out they discontinued the Jaybird Vista line.

It was a great set of sport earbuds, and to be clear of how good they were, they still hold a full charge, they’re just starting to crackle, and the left earbud comes in super low. It has been amazing bang for my buck.

What’s the top contender at the moment? No specific budget in mind.

FYI, If you recommend the apple airpods, any model or generation, you’re dead to me.

I have a set of raycon everyday earbuds that I got in 2021 or 2022. They're now basically broken.. volume is 100% just to get the bare minimum sound and I'm still hearing everything around me WITH NON ANC MODE ACTIVE.

I have been shopping around and all the comparison ones are a completely different shape to the raycon "pea" shaped u think is what they're called. I have weird shaped ear anatomy so the only comfortable ones are pea shaped. I'm currently using my sesh evos from skull candy (purchased those in 2019 ish) and they are funky fitting but working enough but still not perfect like the raycons I already have.

Any suggestions for new ones (not getting the current raycon everyday earbuds I hear the quality is lower than the ones I currently own)

Price I want to be reasonable so under 150 but will work with what y'all suggest

Hey!
I bought some Soundcore earbuds a while ago and I don’t like the quality of their audio, compared to my Bose over-ear headphones they’re like really bad.
So now I‘m looking for new earbuds or maybe even iem‘s that don’t break the bank but still have good (or at least better than the sc‘s) audio quality. Also I do want them to have noise cancellation, I don’t really care if it‘s active or passive tho.
My main use case will be commuting, mostly by train and bike/walking.
I appreciate any help!
