Hi folks,

 

I've currently got some Sony WH XM4 headphones but have found that I've always preferred earbuds better especially when on a plane, as you can't lean on the sides with headphones on as the band gets in the way.

 

What are the best earbuds out there these days? Sony WF XM4s? Bose QCs?

 

Thanks.




Sony

The Samsung ones work well for me. Also trying the Belkin Immerse this week and they sound great.

Am I the only one that find that the currently popular type of earbuds with silicon tips that you wodge into your ear make them super itchy within a minute or so?

Are these the same ones you have?

 

And yeah I just saw that link too. Was curious where he got three brand new ones from.

 

Belkin making earbuds? This'll be interesting lol.

The Jabra Elite 85t is also worth a mention https://www.jabra.co.nz/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-elite-85t

If you happen to know a tertiary student, the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro are $215 on the Samsung Student Store if you use code PREORDER50.

There's a LOT of companies who simply market another design and put their badge on it...

 

I'm not saying that's what Belkin is doing, but I'm also not saying it isn't what has happened.

 

 

 

Re: in-ears on the plane.

 

It can be a good idea if your ears don't 'pop' like mine do... or if you drop the in-ear and it falls between the seat, like my colleague did a week ago. We managed to dig it out once we landed, but it's fair to say that it was 'sticky'.
