I was just looking for a bluetooth earbuds recommendation, and these ones were mentioned almost everywhere that they are the best choice.
It's been a long time since I wanted to buy something and was doing research, but it looks like my favorite way of searching for "best xxx 2023 reddit", that was pretty ok way of doing things few years ago, is useless now. Every post o article I find is blatantly sponsored or full of bots pushing someones product, instead of actual users.
But, it looks like it will take a while before the same happens to Lemmy, so - what bluetooth earbuds would people here recommend to get, or what are you using right now and are happy with? My budget is around 60$, and my use case is mostly to listen to music at work, and be able to walk around during meetings while having clear audio when I'm talking. I don't have any experience with ANC, but it sounds amazing. I understand that the budget is pretty small - I don't expect any miracles in term of audio quality, and the earbuds will be mostly for work related stuff. I try to avoid earbuds as much as possible, but ever since I started having more meetings, for which I regularly have to leave my computer, wired headphones are unfortunately not cutting it.
So far I've had Jabra Elite 4 recommended to me by a friend, and I like them on paper - is there anyone here who has experience with them?
It's so frustrating, though. Finding a honest review for anything is almost impossible, the internet has really taken a turn for the worst. Thanks for any recommendation! I don't need the best of the best in terms of quality for the price, just something that someone can say "Yeah, I have this, it's ok."
This is off topic and you should probably start a new post if you want better recommendations.
I'd recommend checking out earfun, everything I've gotten from them has had great sound and ANC, but usually is missing some bells and whistles.
Www.scarbir.com has some great reviews and recommendations.
You could many look in the 2nd hand market and then getting replacement ear inserts? Usually I prefer to get used high end vs new medium range. Do note that I have not bought earbuds recently and I am not sure myself if I would get those used
