Xiaomi - Redmi Buds 3 Pro

Actually, get a good bluetooth TWS and you don't need to worry much about battery life. My Samsung Buds 2 Pro can easily get 5 hours with ANC. IEM I'm using it on PC. The last time use those foam ear tips ended up getting an ear infection (even tho i replace them monthly). Plus when you sweet a bit uncomfortable.

It depends on you... everyone's ears are different. Just go with something you can afford and best to your liking (Battery etc.). For me, I'm using Samsung Buds 2 Pro. Previously using Redmi Buds 3 Pro. Overall only better ANC and battery life (Not the case). Sound you can tune it to your liking too using EQ.

OnePlus much better earbud overall in pretty much every area apart from anc

for me yes - in fact in my usage the oneplus offers top tier anc (certain frequencies really get canceled out very well! - i.e airline cabin noises) But for the price the Redmi do a fantastic job. Its not really far competition as they are at different price points. (redmi are near the top for their price)

If u can get the redmi at a good price then I would recommend them over the realme. If u okay spending a little bit more than I'll recommend the OnePlus buds pro 3 over these

The Xiaomi red buds are great for cheapos that do the job

Xiaomi Pro the best, obviously

I’m going to come In with a controversial opinion. I got a pair of Xiaomi redmi buds from Ali. Didn’t expect much for the $26AUD that I paid but they are solid. Mic quality is more than acceptable, music quality is ok, a little on the bassy side. But overall I’m very happy. I’ve got some nice Bose over ears for general listening and some shure IEMs for traveling, but the fact I don’t have to worry too much about these little things is nice. I use them almost daily.

Xiaomi redmi buds. I got mine (I think 4) for 5k around 5 years ago. The battery life is amazing, no issues so far, sound is pretty decent all things considering

I had a Poco that died after three glorious years, and still have Xiaomi Redmi buds I use at work.

I would suggest to get one set for sleeping, and another for a daily driver. Redmi buds play for sleep, its ridiculously cheap and does a great job OnePlus Buds 4 or earfun Air Pro 4+ for daily use

Redmi Buds. I bought them for my mom. I have Raycons myself, the Fitness Earbuds. They have no issues, other than me resetting them through a button on the case every few months because the sound would sometimes start "bouncing" from one to another, like, you're randomly getting 50% volume on one side and then another. I went swimming in a river with them and they're still ok. Idk why the influencers are promoting their promo codes because the other discount codes available online (any coupon website) get you a much bigger discount. Something like 15% from the influencer vs 30% from the website, and they also do seasonal sales, I got mine during Christmas time. Redmi is certainly cheaper and I don't see much difference in the actual build and sound quality. I'd just buy Redmi for myself if I had to choose again. As for wired, any Panasonic will do, mine have survived from 2018 and until 2024. Iirc, a pet chewed on them and one of the earbuds died. They were dirt cheap, under $10 at the time. I also have over-the-ear Soundcore Life Q30 that I mostly use at home, the ear pads wear out every year like a clock and the headband pad just wore out 3 years after the purchase, with everyday use. Stock ones were soft as a cloud, guess, that made them less durable. They can work both through Bluetooth and wired as they have the 3.5 mm slot and a cord bundled in. No changes to the sound quality and battery life so far, but be careful when replacing the ear pads because it can damage the ANC functionality if you don't fit them properly.

I've been using Redme airdots for the past 3 years. Top notch. Never failed me once and have an amazing battery life.

I don't think the phone matters, my airdots connect to vivo as well as they do to my ipad. But yeah, they're pretty great.
