At 1.5K Get either the Vivo TWS 3e, or CMF Buds 2a -Do not spend anything less than 1500 on a TWS. You'll get products that somewhat work, but nothing good if you're shopping at 1K. -At 1K, stick to KZ EDX Pro X, or the KZ EDC Pro, otherwise buy any random TWS on the market.

And only these two. Yes, there's the Oppo Enco Buds 3 Pro at 1500 too. But it is *absolutely not* worth it over the Vivo TWS 3e (on Clear High Pitch) or the CMF Buds 2a (On Dirac Opteo). No ANC, worse sound quality, no ANC whatsoever, etc. Get either CMF or Vivo.

Here's the CMF Buds 2a review if you want to read it https://x.com/TechWhirlUlt/sta...

I know there are a lot of OnePlus, or other audio products on discount right now Avoid: -Nord Buds 3 -Nord Buds 3r (It's just Enco Buds 3 Pro) -Nord Buds 2r (Get Vivo/ CMF instead) -Realme Buds T200 -Realme Buds N1 *Especially* avoid all Realmes under the T310.

Speaking of the T310, it's not 'horrible' but for under 2K, you can use EQ and adjust the sound, the rest of the product is alright, apart from Realme's terrible app. Moving up to the 2.5K segment, because anyone shopping at 2K should, in my opinion, extend to the Buds Air 7.

*Most* people do not need to spend more money than this on a TWS. -Nails ANC -Good transparency -Mediocre case build and bad app -Slightly sharp, metallic timbre -Supports LHDC -Excellent Harman-derivative V shaped tuning -Not overly bassy Buds Air 7 is excellent.

This is why most of you should pick Air 7 over Buds 2 Plus https://x.com/TechWhirlUlt/sta...

While the Air 6 Pro is slightly better than the Air 7, it did not get discounts so I can't recommend it over the Air 7 Realme Buds Air 7 Pro at ~4500 is not recommended due to the extremely boomy, bassy sound signature. I have the same issue with the OnePlus Buds 4 & Buds 3.

But I know not everyone has sound as the main priority Or you're fine with EQ In that case, you can pick between the Buds Air 7 Pro and the OnePlus Buds 4 I've linked a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

And yes: -CMF Buds 2a is recommendable -CMF Buds 2 is a total skip, bad tuning -CMF Buds 2 Plus has so many wear detection bugs and it is not a better product than the Air 7 at all -CMF Buds 2 Pro & others are bad -Nothing Ear (a) doesn't make sense over Realme/ OnePlus

Why the Buds 2 is not a good deal https://x.com/TechWhirlUlt/sta...

That leaves me with the 5K+ segment -Nothing Ear 2024 at 7.5K, fabulous sound, good ANC, great app, PEQ. But, QC issues, so you'll have to maintain it well with minimal scratches in case your product has issues with battery. But overall it's nice. https://x.com/TechWhirlUlt/sta...

Finally, OnePlus Buds Pro 3 While most aspects apart from sound are good This is a very diminishing returns sort of segment, so most don't need this. It's still immature treble and extremely bassy and needs EQ But it's not a 'bad' overall TWS

Now the headphones -Soundcore H30i if 1.5K is your max -JBL Tune 510NC if 2K is your budget -Tune 520BT at 3K -Soundcore Q20i at 3.6K -Jlab Jbuds Lux at 4K (Good products overall from Jlabs) -JBL Tune 770NC at 5K (STEAL) -Space One at 6K -CH720N at 7K -Accentum Wireless at 9K

For better headphone coverage I'd suggest watching content from @TechellaTea as she covers these products better than I do. If you're spending over 10K, watch coverage from DMS & pick between XM5, Nothing Headphone 1, Momentum 4. I'd go Momentum. https://youtu.be/xeoFqRf-usM?s...

Summarizing the TWS: -CMF Buds 2a/ Vivo TWS 3e at 1.5K -T310 with EQ at ~1.7/ 1.8K -Realme Buds Air 7 at ~2.5K -OnePlus Buds 4/ Realme Buds Air 7 Pro over 4K -Nothing Ear 2024 at 6.5-7.5K (for audiophiles) -OnePlus Buds Pro 3 at 8.5K (with EQ) this is not for audiophiles

And over 10K on a TWS is not something I'd encourage or recommend doing, there are some Sony options which are too warm for me with a weird app, the Momentum 4 TWS is overpriced, so is Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Buds 2 Pro is discontinued but was great. AirPods... well.

@TechWhirlUlt Got the Oneplus buds pro 3 at 7k. Any suggestions for a EQ you have made which would considerably bring down the bass(Dynaudio preset is too much). If possible, please share the EQ you think is the best for it.

@TechWhirlUlt Buddy pretty much explained everything one could ask for the sale. There is a option at around 800 INR, it's a POCO TWS, I don't know how it is, but might be fine considering Boat and so.

@YourbroRishabh And apparently it has EQ too

@TechWhirlUlt @TechWhirlUlt - what about good tws with very good anc? Can cross 10k if required. Have to do calls from noisy areas many times. And a decent sound quality for movies etc, when using the tws. Thanks.

@kartik711 OnePlus Buds 3 Pro

@TechWhirlUlt What about Sony WH-CH520? I'm planning to buy them

@known_as_jewel 770NC is better than that though

@TechWhirlUlt If you are an audiophile then for around 5k my pick is Moondrop Moca !! for everything else Oneplus Buds 4 is the best mostly !!

@Saptarshhi I haven’t tested that What’s the tonality?

@TechWhirlUlt I'm currently using Airpods Pro 2 as my main headphones, but I'm looking for a budget-friendly option to use as a secondary. How is Moondrop Space Travel 2 or Space Travel 2 Ultra. How do they compare?

@RewardsEngineer 2 isn’t that good 2 Ultra is better but still not amazing or anything I’d recommend Air 7 over both

@TechWhirlUlt I want a TWS with the same audio quality, tuning, profile as oneplus bullets z2. Good mic is needed as well.

@iamkrishkish Price?
