My AirPods Max died due to the flex cable issue. Cant spend that much to replace them with the same flawed headphones!!
Pricing is insane considering the options. I bought Jbuds LUX anc headphones because they were only $60 and work incredibly well.
My problems were that the only way I could get the JLabs I had to turn off was to plug them in to charge. Also it was rare that the headphones would find the device I wanted to connect to. More often than not I'd have to tell the device I wanted to connect with to forget the headphones, turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on. Then the headphones would appear in available devices and it would only then connect. The JLabs finally gave out the other day and I threw them out. I have some spare earbuds I'm using in the interim and I have replacement headphones ordered.
Looking for headphones recs! Low budget, comfy fit, good isolation, and balanced sound are my top needs.
Here's the details:
-budget is $55-85 USD, slightly flexible
-Source: android phone w/ USB c & Bluetooth, portable CD player w/ aux, cassette player w/ aux
-Isolation is important since I wear these primarily at work. I have ADHD and there's a lot of foot traffic near my desk, so would love to block out some noise & avoid bleed. I also like to wear these doing chores around the house.
-Preference for full size, but on-ear could be an option if the isolation is okay
-I listen to a lot of genres; alt rock, 90s rock, folk punk, hyperpop, hip house, and rap. Love the mountain goats, black country new roads, indigo girls, interpol, type o negative, AJJ, yung gravy, freddie dredd, cobrah, azealea banks, gaga, nin.
-i like a balanced mix, crisp (but *not* harsh) and not muddy.
-Past headphones:
I've been using a pair of $30 Mpow 059 for yearrrs. Love the sound balance, comfort, portability, and that they're pink. They're shredded at this point so I need a replacement.
I bought a pair of Jlab Jbuds Lux ANC wireless headphones to replace them, but I find them to be wayyy too warm on my ears. The sound also seemed less clear than I was wanting, even after playing with settings.
My partner works at a call center and I borrowed their poly blackwire 5220 on ears, and honestly like them better than the Jlabs lmaoo
Interested in any thoughts/advice,thanks!
Jlab lux anc , really the only choice in this price range , but you will have to wait , prices should decrease for them , they are 6k rn , don't buy at this price
No they are over ear I have them and they are wireless yes , they should last 3 years depending on how you keep them , but you will have to change ear pads .
No idea , I think they out of stock everywhere , will have to find them offline or smtg or wait , can't say for sure how long
