From Phil din ako haha, can you explain pa the sound quality ng Airpods 4? I came from Realme Buds Air 7 pro kasi and has a great sound quality but not that comfortable
As a semi-casual listener who owns the Salnotes Zero 2 as well as Sony XM5, I can confirm that there's only a little difference between ldac and sbc. It's all niche gimmicks that won't be noticed by the majority of the audience.
And you'll need a really good device to be able to tell the difference clearly - something like the galaxy buds 2 pro.
In all honesty, your focus should be the sound quality and does the device sound signature match your preferences.
The buds air 7 pro are highly recommend but do your research before you pull the trigger. You can try out many of these ear buds at croma, reliance and similar electronic stores.
I myself tested many headphones for myself before settling for the XM5.
Realme buds air 7 pro for me, amazing anc and the sound is pretty nice. And very long battery life too. But maybe you can try earfun 4 pro+ i heard it's better. And forget about huawei i think i tried one of their buds in the store and the clerk said you can only use the anc with their own Huawei product
Difference in codecs is extremely miniscule and is frankly nothing more than marketing hype, especially with hardware at this price point. The defining factor is tuning.
Any idiot can mash together a chipset and claim 'LDAC for best audio quality' and still get smoked by a cheap pair of Moondrop Space Travels on AAC that didn't bother with battery life or good ANC or anything, just focused on tuning and nothing else, not even a lid for the TWS case.
If you believe LDAC makes a perceivable difference over LHDC at this price point where the max you'll get is two drivers in a TWS, you fell for the marketing scam big-time and whatever you experience is placebo.
Is there a difference? Perhaps with expensive over-ears but TWS? At this price point? Impossible. If you really value listening to flacs at the highest quality, why aren't you getting a wired IEM?
That being said, my top picks in this segment are the Oneplus Buds 4 and Realme Buds Air 7 Pro. I personally use the Buds 4 with a EQ setting i found on reddit because the stock setting is a bit muddled for me, and because it uses rather good drivers the tunability allows me to get a balanced setting that I prefer. I also love the ANC and frankly chose it over the better fit and finish Realme just for the slightly better ANC.

Apple-integrated, great ANC but can cause ear pain.
