Looks interesting. I always liked Mee Audio (Aka Meelectronics) since I started my Head-Fi journey many years ago.

Meh. Ergonomic nightmare for my large ears. They either fell out, or they were so deep in my ears, they were hard to pull out. They had issues with connection too where I had to restart a couple of times to get it to connect to my phone.

They sounded alright, but not great.

Just did some A/B/C between Bose Ultra buds, AZ80 and Buds2Pro. It could be because I have a Samsung phone but I can't believe how full and rich the Buds2Pro sound. Perfect quantity of bass and treble, mids are as good as it can get in a TWS. These are so much better sounding it is no contest when SQ alone is considered. Only crap thing about these is battery life is so short, especially on calls.

Comparatively, AZ80 sound OK but nowhere close. Mids are thinner than Buds2Pro, sub bass is a notch lower, treble is fine. The highlight is their battery life even on calls. These just don't die.

Bose Ultra buds sound like a radio in comparison. The only two good things about Bose is ANC is so far ahead, no contest and bass is overly boosted to get you a thumping sound that is it. Mids are so thin, it is painful. Mic is better now after fw update as long as you are in a quiet room. Outside, it is horrible. Cymbals have no presence whatsoever. Mid-bass is missing as well.

Guess, I am gonna travel with all 3 now, Buds2Pro for SQ and short calls, Bose for ANC and AZ80 for long calls.

Sometimes, you gotta stop hunting for next best thing and just accept the fact that mainstream TWS like Buds2Pro are extremely well tuned and be happy with it...

I loved the Buds2Pro. I had an S23 Ultra so I could use the special Samsung codec SSC. I think they would be more mediocre without that codec.

Early bird price on Amazon JP. Final sub brand model with BT5.4 SBC/AAC/LDAC. 10mm hybrid organic film driver, head tracking, wireless charging, hybrid ANC, ambient, and IPX4. You can change the language of the announcements on the buds themselves though English is the default. They look smaller and nicely shaped.

I tried to see if it would ship to the US. Hey $66 and then the discount was too cheap not to try but it says doesn't ship to the US through Amazon.

You can try zen market, fromjapan, buyee and neokyo for buying japanese stuffs.

Question for everyone and seeking a recommendation.

In the market to pick up some wireless earbuds for my niece in the near future. Any thoughts on best ones around the $100-$200 range? Music is more modern/K-Pop oriented so probably some bass leaning would be ideal or an app that can EQ.

I've enjoyed my launch edition Galaxy Buds so I've been eyeballing the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. I've also read a bit into the Sennheiser MTW3 and looked at some of the Sonys or the Final ZE3000. Any thoughts?

Kenwood ha fw1000t is a good option too

Not that interested to go through that for them. If I could order them real quick at that price fine but not something I would go through the extra cost or trouble for. It's a budget unknown even if it looks interesting.


Saw some Nuarl deals on Amazon. They seem to have the black N6 pro 2 for a good price... https://www.amazon.com/NUARL-Wireless-Earphones-Bluetooth5-2-N6PRO2-TB/dp/B099VZK282/ref=cs_sr_dp_2?crid=31YFZM226KCAK&keywords=true+wireless+with+aptX&qid=1700946907&sprefix=true+wireless+with+aptx,aps,86&sr=8-14&ufe=app_do:amzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840&th=1

They also have the black/gold Mini3 for $105.

Just saw these (and ordered). Anyone else here tried them? Looks like they've been out since July.



Mee Audio pebbles.

Saw your post and checked a local retailer that carries MEE and sure enough they had these in stock and on sale to boot so picked up a pair in blue, sharp looking little fellers

Sound not bad at all for the price and seem pretty stable in my ears. Definitely an open sound, no isolation but thats point...

That's a good sign for me. I think I have smaller than most concha.

Kinda regretting not getting the blue now lol.

Yeah, the 'zon had them for <$20 so I figured why not.



They look closer to the original 'beans' design before samsung added the wings.

I have been tempted to buy them but no budget so been sticking to low price stuff.

Just received them

I just noticed this deal on Woot! - Sennheiser Momentum 3 for $119.99. Sale ends in 6 hours!

https://electronics.woot.com/offers/new-sennheiser-momentum-3-true-wireless-anc-earbuds?utm_campaign=Daily+Digest+25+11+23&ref=eml&utm_source=Daily+Digest&utm_medium=email&utm_term=p_2&utm_content=Subheader-B&ref_=pe_3185080_776539920

I bought a pair of Jabra Elite 10 a couple of days ago on Woot.com for $169.99 thanks to a tip from this thread!

 

[SynaestheticA]

On the note of PSB M4U, got these in my google sponsored just now. Hadn't seen any Aus stockists with it before and on the page it gives option to 'Order now' rather than pre order. Haven't come across this site before tho.

 

[SemperMalum]

Kenwood ha fw1000t is a good option too

Kenwood seems a bit out of the price range unless I'm missing a sale?

It is 199 on amazon.
