Need Bluetooth Wireless Earphone with Mic

Hi

My existing JAYS - t-Four Wireless not working noise and heat issues. Bought one year back. Warranty expired

I need a good future proof Bluetooth Wireless Earphone with a good warranty period.

My purpose of usage is watching the movie in the night time through Mi LED Smart TV 49

Also, connect through MYPC or Mobile attending webinars.

Budget 2k, if goodwill extend.

Check this thread, 2k is not much for a good bluetooth/wireless earphone so not many options.

*geek.digit.in/community/threads/something-like-airpods.207879/

I dont use bluetooth, bought E10bt but having to repeatedly charge gives me cancer. I just use wired like a peasant, and be done with it. (E11D)
But obviously for you, bluetooth is needed since you are watching on tv.
If you have existing good wired earphone, you can make it wireless via

*www.fiio.co.in/products/fiio-btr1k-portable-high-fidelity-bluetooth-amplifier

Buy refurb if you dont want to pay full price, I bought mine refurb and its working fine.

I don't use wireless earphones (even when I have one). They are inconvenient and require charging every now and then.

Great...It has inbuilt DAC...It may enhance audio?
I don't have wired one.

Ok. For me no issues. My usage is 3-4 hours only.

There are only 2 types of wireless earphones: neckband type & airpod type.

Check below type, not neckband...

The above is what I call neckband, is it not.

Wireless with some connector between two ear pieces so that it can rest on your neck when not in use = Neckband
Wireless without that connector = airpod/bud/ whatever crap it is.

Ok..Got it.,

Oneplus Bullet Wireless Z has good reviews, the main advantages being its long battery life (18-20hrs) & fast charging with its Type C port. Worth checking out.

After digging too long... Now found this one.....Realme Buds Wireless Pro

Any suggestions...or Any alternative?

Dont buy that. ANC is not working properly as it severely degrades sound quality. The lows are muffled and highs aint great too.

Here is the frequency curve. Most of the mids and highs are missing. And such sound signature is not liked.

Added, I did not have a good experience with these realme buds. I bough one of these, and one side stopped in a week. Another went off in 3 weeks. Got it replaced, but the replaced product only lasted 2 months. So I am not going to buy this realme shit again TBH.

TBH, Nor do I use myself and neither I suggest people to use audio products from BBK and Mi. They Boast its specs off a lot, but the build quality and comfort lags behind a lot. And there after sales, and especially just 6-month warranty model is bad. I wud recommend you to buy something from a reputed brand like sony(Yes they have one for 2K), JBL, or any other audio brand. And stay away from these BBK and Mi.

These chinese OEMs are focusing to enter each and every market, while they cant even make proper phones.

Seems like a Clickbait post. Not expected from XDA. There are no numbers mentioned as to how many units were sold and what exactly constitutes as " appear to be enough complaints about the same issue that suggests a pattern is emerging "

Of course one can avail the best available in the market butwhen youre on a budget, you have to make compromises. Such reports of a few failures (not always true) are getting magnified in present times because of the mass reach due to massive internet penetration. Decide without getting influenced much by each and every such articles. Choose wisely, live well.

But realme Buds Wireless Pro has Sony LDAC Codec with Noise Cancelling
Review is not good

Still confusing :-(

Preference will be...

1. Wireless Bluetooth 5.0
2. Good Battery Backup-Longer Play hrs
3. With Mic
4. At least 2 pair

or

5. LDAC Codec -Hi-Resolution Audio
6. Noise Cancelling

or

But they failed to implement it. They had gold, but couldn't make jewellery out of it.

Below Image SoundMAGIC - E11BT good
But there is no Multipoint connectivity...At least 2 pair

If you are okay with buying another e-waste, go for another bluetooth earphone. Or get a bluetooth dongle which has user replaceable battery to use with wired earphones.

what about this?

which one do you suggest...budget?

Man low end true wireless earphones are not good for call quality. If you just want to use for audio, they are okay.
Ive bought a lot of them, Realme Air 2, 3, One plus Buds z, Nothing Ear 1. Best among them for call and audio quality i found is Nothing Ear 1, but you should go to youtube reviews and check actual call quality recording and see for yourself if it fits your needs.
Also samsung buds might be good, but idk.

I am not like Buds...Easily fall off possible...So stick to the neckband...my budget 2-3k fine
my usage is a webinar in PC...Music is only on while walking

Any Suggestion?

I suggest look at headphone zone and buy whatever comes under your budget with warranty of atleast 2 years.

I lost one of my buds, and got the Nord Buds as a cheaper substitute; nothing extraordinary, its ok for the price (Rs 2070 on offer)

Dont buy any of somy XM3/4/5 is mic is your requirement. There are some driver issues with those. Sony CH510 is good. I use Jabra 75t.

Also one thing to note is, many wireless earphones/buds have good music quality but poor call quality because of poor mic.
