Can someone recommend a TWS IEM for me? Mainly for doing chores outdoor(pair with iPhone), no need ANC. I have a QCY T1S and unimpressed by the sound, sounded muffle, lack of bass(bad fit?), lack of details to me. I'm eyeing on QCY T5, HELM TWS 50, Tranya B530, FIIL T1. These are some options I can get in Australia, thoughts?

I live in Europe and I wondered if there is any place where I can get the TRANYA B530 for cheap? They don't seem to sell in aliexpress and the price in amazon is almost 40 euro.

I wonder when WF-1000XM4s launch... the over-ear model, the WH-100XM4s just released, and the WF XM3s have been going on sole so much that retailers are prob clearing out stock for the XM4s, so...

I feel that at $80, the original Galaxy Buds aren't going to fall farther in price anymore, but the Buds + should be dropping to 100-120 sooon now, I think...

Thanks for your reply, I forgot to mention I'm looking at $100 or under IEM, not sure if anything good at this price range, as I'm not going to use this IEM often. When I'm indoor I'm using Sony WH-1000X3, which I sounded ok with some EQ tweaking.

I already bought international model for $100 at Ebay. Confirmed its not a fake. I bought Jabra refurbished Elite 75T for $99. While original packaging was not there it looked new. Both of them are quite good for the cost. I am really tempted by buds live if the gizmodo article that ANC is getting fixed through software updates. It may not be at APP level but if it does somewhat a decent job and audio quality is not a big regression from buds+, its worth a buy.

Interesting. I'm hearing a scratchy artifact only present when using the SBC codec. I was told by multiple users of the same issue though a few said it sounded fine. For whatever reason Samsung set a low bitpool than typical for SBC. Considering you're using a first-party Microsoft product I wonder if it is related to Bluetooth drivers and whether they can force a high bitrate. Unfortunately it sounds poor on my ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 (BT5.0, Intel drivers) and my Note 9 when using SBC.

The driver for the buds+:

Buds+ Avrcp transport:

• 16/03/2019
• 10.0.18362.1

Buds+:

• 21/06/2006
• 10.0.18362.693

If there's any way of checking which codec its using please let me know

Anyone here tried XROUND Versa? It's a Taiwanese product - has optional fins, AptX + USB-C + Qi charging, IP67. Spinfit tips included. Some impressions I've seen suggest it's great for instrumental music but vocals are recessed.

Put in your ears, hold both buttons for 4 seconds and power off.

Then hold both buttons for 20-30 seconds, you should hear power on, followed by 2 sets of descending tones.

After the 2nd set of tones they should power down and be completely reset.

Power back on and they will be in pairing mode for each other (both blinking blue). Click each side button once to pair to each other.

Once only one side is blinking red/blue (paired to each other), pair to your phone (left side only, it is the master iirc).

Thanks, I had done it a few times already with no luck, my first new attempt failed again but it worked the second time ! The trick was to only click once on the left (master indeed) bud once and not on the on the right one. Glad to have them back !

Glad it worked.



I edited my post about only clicking the left/master for future reference.

Not sure exactly how to check codec but Windows 10 only supports AptX and SBC. So the Buds+ will only be using SBC codec since it doesn't support AptX.

I think those driver numbers correspond to your Win10 build, mine is the 2004 update.
Buds+ AVRCP Transport:
12/6/2019
10.0.19041.1
Buds+
6/21/2006
10.0.19041.1

I just updated my Intel Bluetooth driver version to 21.110.0.3 - no change.

Another test track. Pay attention to the strings at 1:01
