Hello all,

I cm hunting through here a while ago and have kept my eye one the discussion for truly wireless earbuds. I settles on a pair of Bragi "The Headphone" that I actual enjoyed quite a bit. Not the best sound quality, but nice for casual listening, phone calls, the gym... I recently lost one (whoops) and need to start the search over again. I may end up getting another pair of Bragi, but am wondering about the Nuforce BeFree 5 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...kS-BC_u5J4JIuZd5cZ_k0rCoSRoCnUUQAvD_BwE&smp=y) or BeFree 8 (https://www.amazon.com/NuForce-Wireless-Premium-Earphones-charging/dp/B075GG9GH8#customerReviews).

Anyone have any experience with these? I'm looking for decent sound quality, decent battery life (3 hours +), but most importantly, something that is low profile and sits flush with my ears. There are so many interesting options out there that, upon further inspection, end up looking like frankenstein's neck bolts sticking out of your ears. I wish someone like UE or Westone would make a custom piece that is truly wireless (doesn't use a bluetooth cable). Until they do, I'm hoping to find something passable. Thanks for any input you might have!

Man I just got the Jabra Elite Active 65t because of recommendations here on Head-fi and they are great! Great connection and sound! They also come with a little case that recharges them a couple more times. There is an app for them that controls EQ, hear through feature and more. They don’t stick out and make you look like Frankenstein like the Bose SoundSport Free do haha. They do well with calls, too. I like them

Ive really been eyeing those. Not sure if I need the Active features, but it might be nice! Maybe I;ll just need to bite the bullet and give me a try! Thanks for the response.
