Really? No one has these kind of wireless headphones to share some impressions?
Like yeah the sound sucks.
Or like yeah they fall out of your ear and fall on the floor and break.
Or like yeah its easy to lose them when you leave them places or even when they fall out of your pocket, because they're tiny pieces not connected to each other (like wired headphones)
Or like yeah the battery is shit doesn't last long at all.
Or like yeah their lifespan sucks they usually die within months.
I know you guys be walking around with some fancy expensive modern shit. Come on, share your experiences with these types of headphones.

I find that most are trash. I like going with the KZ brand of wired headphones because they are amazing quailty for their price point and they also have two prong in them to remove the wire and you can buy bluetooth attachments making them bluetooth headphones as well and this has worked out great for me.

I use Jaybird Vista 2 for work (physical work), Airpods Pro for recreational use, and am on my second pair of Skullcandy Skullcrushers for when I'm in the gym.
Not going to write an essay on any of these but if you have any specific questions about them I'd be happy to help! Overall most happy with the AirPods and the skullcrushers.

Well, actually, the main annoyance with wired headphones is if I exercise.
I don't exercise at all, but today I went for a run and I remembered a few years back when I was exercising for a few months, the wired headphones are extremely annoying while exercising. Whether running or doing any exercise, the wired headphones just annoy the shit out of me. They're constantly "pulling" my head and falling out. It's very annoying.
So I figure, wireless/bluetooth headphones = problem solved.
Right?

Yeah, for exercises like running or anything where you're moving around a lot I'd recommend getting a pair of sweat-resistant in-ear earphones like the Jaybird Vista 2. But I do suggest googling around a bit and doing some research, I like to use the skullcrushers for working out but I wouldn't recommend them for running, too bulky.

Wait, you're talking these big ones?

No bro, I don't want those. I want those little earbuds. Like this:

You plug those little ones in your ear, you're golden. Well, unless they're connected with a wire. Then the wire pulls them all the time as you move, and you're not so golden :/

Yeah, that's my point, I'd recommend something like Jaybird Vista 2 for you instead of the skullcrushers.

Okay so I looked around. I'm only looking for small earbuds that go "inside" of your ear and settle next to your brain. The ones that go "on" your ear are annoying, they fall out so easily. I can't stand them. Also I'm only looking for white ones.
I found 8 of them, ranging from $23 to $44. That's my max, $44 dollars. I couldn't live with myself if I paid more for this item.
But it seems to me they're all more or less the same. Most are Bluetooth 5.0, and few are Bluetooth 5.1. Most are 40mah battery capacity per earbud, and 300mah capacity on the charger. Most take between 1-2 hours to fully charge.
I don't care about a microphone, I don't care about Siri.
The problem is that most of them don't give you any of that other info. Only one of them gives the following:
ANC Active Noise Control
ENC Environmental Noise Cancellation
Chip: Bluetrum BT8892C
Bluetooth: V5.0
Impedance: 16 Ohm
Frequency range: 2.4Ghz
Headset battery: 40 mAh
Charging Case battery: 300 mAh
playing time: up to 4 hours
Charging time: 1 hour
Touch control and Siri function
But none of the others give this info. I'll have to find each of them on Amazon or some other website, and see the specifications and compare between each other.
Stupid irresponsible websites selling things with incomplete product descriptions...

We inhabit the same reality

Okay, I'm not sure what to do...
We have Sonicgear Earpump TWS 5 PRO
https://www.sonicgear.com.my/sonicg...ours-playtime-ipx5-water-resistant?search=tws
The price is $32,50, but with delivery it will be about $36...
Well, no, the USD is super strong now, and I get paid in it. Thank you USA, thank you, keep up the good works
So the price is $29.30, but with delivery it will be about $32.45.
Here's a review:
And here is how they sound:
The price is right, they look nice, and I think they'll fit inside my ear perfectly, all the way to the brain. Nice and stable. Wonderful.
However, if I choose to buy these, only 1 website has them for sale. So if they don't have them available at the moment, I'll look around some more, and if I don't find them, I may have to move to my other choice...
---
My other choice is GEMBIRD BHP-EARBUDS-PRO bluetooth 5.0
https://www.gstore.rs/artikal/bhp-e...ce--anc-enc-noise-r-16ohm--touch-control-2399
The price is more or less the same, but these are technically more expensive, just they're at a discount.
These claim to have:
ANC Active Noise Control
ENC Environmental Noise Cancellation
The Sonicgear ones don't claim to have that. Not sure if these even mean anything, could be just the airbuds that go into your ear that give that.
These ones also claim to be Hi-Fi Choice (Recommended). This supposedly makes the sound quality exactly like the song was recorded.
Their impedance is 16, while the Sonicgear ones are 16+15% (lower is apparently better).
Their battery is:
Headset battery: 40 mAh
Charging Case battery: 300 mAh
The SonicGear ones:
Headset battery: 50 mAh (i think)
Battery Case Capacity: 500 mAh
I think these are like a Chinese copy of Apple earbuds.
But then we come to the problems. There is not a single Youtube video about these earbuds. I can't find them sold in any global website (Amazon etc), they're only listed on local websites in my country.
Even on Gembird's website, I can't find them. I can't find like a manual or instructions or a pdf or something about them. So I can't really confirm these claims above (ANC, ENC, Hi-Fi). I also can't find if they're water-resistant or not, and if they are, whether they're IPX4 or IPX5 (the Sonicgear ones are IPX5). I can't find what their frequency response is. I can't find their driver sensitivity (dB).
And lastly, I prefer the look of the SonicGear ones, and they look like they would go deeper in the ear, be more stable.
---
So I'm divided.
Gembird earbuds seem to be a slightly better quality, with a slightly weaker battery. But it's fishy because you can't find anything about them online. Seems to be a Chinese copy of some Apple earbuds. Important info can't be found.
SonicGear seems to be a legit company making their own earbuds. I prefer the look, and I think they'll be more stable in the ear. Has a slightly better battery. However, the audio output is probably a little worse (and this matters to me).
Price is the same for both...
Which ones to get?
