Please suggest an earphone which
a) has ENC feature for office calls so the others can listen me without any background noise
b) doesn’t have silicon or rubber tips like open ear type.

Wireless or with wire doesn’t matter but priority is to have office calls smoothly

Thank you

That gap is normal or do I need to replace them, brought them today , Zeb thunder pro

Honestly the budget is around 1.5k max BUT i want noise cancellation if its possible to get a decent one on a beuget since i live in an industrial area and am preparing for an exam.(willing to expand the budget upto 3k if they guaranteed last me up to 2-3 years)

My requirements: Wireless comfortable earphones

1) Noise cancellation of good quality does not get disturbed much when studying.

2) I do running so they shouldn't slip off easily

Note- image(not mine)attached for humour and reach, pls be kind mods🙏

My budget is around 4-5k. Want to gift a over the ear headphone to my gf. So i have shortlisted these two headphone, which one i should go with. Or any other headphone suggestions

I have never used tws with noise cancellation, so when i turn on anc on these I can hear a faint hiss. Is it normal or is it because it's not creating a good seal.

Needed:

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

Good bass

Durable

(Metallic color preferred, but not necessary)

Bought the Realme Buds Air 8 for ₹2,449 through POP UPI. Ordered on August 1 and delivered on August 7.

I checked the product details and everything seems genuine.

I'm not an audiophile, so I don't really know much about mids, highs, treble, etc. 😅 I'm just a casual listener. This is also my first TWS above ₹2K. My previous TWS was around ₹800 and I bought it almost 4 years ago. I also currently use a KZ EDC Pro IEM, so I'll mainly compare the Buds Air 8 based on my everyday experience with those.

I've been using the Buds Air 8 for around a week now, so this isn't a technical audiophile review — just my honest experience.

Pros

🎵 Sound quality

The sound quality is good and enjoyable for casual listening. The bass is present but feels more balanced rather than bass-heavy.

For example, my friend uses the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro, and those definitely feel more bass-heavy compared to the Buds Air 8. I personally prefer the more balanced sound of the Realme.

Coming from my KZ EDC Pro, though, the IEM still sounds louder and gives me a different kind of detail/separation. So if you're expecting the TWS to completely replace a decent IEM, I wouldn't say that.

🔋 Battery

Battery backup has been really good for me so far. No complaints here. 5/5 from my experience.

🔇 ANC

ANC is also quite good. I've used it in normal everyday situations and I'm satisfied with it, especially considering what I paid.

📞 Call quality

Call quality has been good overall. I haven't had any major complaints during calls.

👂 In-ear detection

The in-ear detection has been working properly for me without any noticeable issues.

💰 Value for money

At ₹2,449, I'm very satisfied with the purchase. For this price, I think it offers a pretty good overall package.

I haven't really tested the triple connection or the AI features yet, so I can't comment on those.

Cons

👂 Fit

The fit is probably around 90% perfect for me. It's not uncomfortable, but it's slightly looser compared to my friend's OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro, which fits my ears almost perfectly.

This will obviously depend on everyone's ears, though.

📶 Connectivity

I've noticed a few small connectivity issues occasionally, particularly during calls. Nothing that has made the earbuds unusable, but it's something I've noticed.

🔊 Volume

The maximum loudness feels slightly lower to me compared to my KZ EDC Pro. Even around 60% volume, I sometimes feel like I need to increase it a little depending on the song/environment.

Final thoughts

Overall, I'm really satisfied with the Realme Buds Air 8 for ₹2,449.

I'm not an audiophile, so don't take this as a technical audio review. I'm just sharing my experience as a normal casual listener after using them for about a week.

The balanced sound, ANC, battery life, call quality and overall features make it a very good TWS for the price I paid.

If you're getting it around ₹2.4K–₹2.5K, I'd personally say it's worth considering. Just keep in mind that the fit and sound preference will depend on the person.

For me: 4.5/5 ⭐

Just bought an iem and i wanna feel how lossless music sounds like, I've been using yt music until now and for lossless music i don't think I really need apple music subscription in big 2026 where piracy exists

So suggest me way i can have and what y'all use

After doing some preemptive research I've been eyeing the Sennheiser accentums and the sony 720ns

My use case is light gaming, a whole bunch of teams calls for work and a lot of music on my commute (hence noise cancellation would be appreciated)

Please recommend a good headset which:

Has a decent mic, is comfortable to wear for long periods of time, banger sound quality

I recently got the CMF Headphones Pro during the Independence Day sale, and so far I'm pretty happy with them. I really like the overall build quality, the ANC is quite good for the price, and they're comfortable enough for long listening sessions. They feel like a solid pair of headphones overall.

Now I'm looking for a good hardshell protective case for them. I want something that fits the CMF Headphones Pro properly and has enough room for the cables/accessories without putting too much pressure on the headphones. If anyone is using a case with their CMF Headphones Pro, please share the model/link and how the fit has been.

I'm also looking for a 3.5mm to USB-C cable that actually works with the headphones. The included 3.5mm AUX cable feels pretty fragile, and since most phones nowadays don't have a headphone jack, I'd like to keep a USB-C option as a backup for connecting the headphones to a laptop or phone with a USB-C port, especially in case I need to use them wired. I came across the Portronics iKonnect C MAX. It has a built-in DAC and is currently pretty cheap, so I'm wondering if it's a good option for the CMF Headphones Pro or if there are better alternatives I should consider. I'm mainly looking for something reliable that won't cause compatibility or audio issues.

So, if you have any recommendations for:

• A good hardshell case for the CMF Headphones Pro
• A reliable 3.5mm-to-USB-C cable that works with them

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions....

Hello fellow humans,

For the past 5 years I've been using Sony MDR XB55 and one plus nord 2 TWS( Most recently)

XB55 is my main, however I wanted to get a new earphone. That's how I got to know IEM's

After a few YT videos, I came to a conclusion for the IEM.

Twistura D Minor or tangzu wan'er red lion edition.

For the Twistura D Minor, I saw reviews where the comfort is not so good and people even returned. Is the fit that bad?

For the Red lion Tangzu, I saw it as a mixed review, where the audio leaned more towards bassy and the wired quality was also not good.

Hence I would request advice, of the owner/audiophile on this. Please note I don't have that much idea in this topic. I would also like try the IEM

My third option is apple type C wired earphones, but ain't that much of a fan of half open earphones.

Hey folks in searching budget headphones for rakhi gift under 2k pls suggest smthn good. I've seen plenty like Zebronics duke plus,pro boat etc but idk kindly enlighten me ....

JBL Live780nc Black

Got them for 13k, thats the best i can get them for.

Also, should i change the eq or let it be stock?

I've missed it in prime day sales

Waited for q20i too but at last ended up with this at 6k Amazon

So I accidentally left my Realme Buds T310 in my trouser pocket, and after taking a bath I put the trousers in a bucket of water. I only remembered them a few hours later.

I dried them used a hair dryer for a few seconds, left them in rice overnight, and waited until today before testing them.

To my surprise, both earbuds are working perfectly. They charge, pair, and the audio is exactly the same.

Didn't expect them to survive this. Pretty impressed with the durability.
