I am looking for a pair of TWS earphones that have good audio quality and stable connectivity. Budget is between Rs. 2000 and Rs. 3000.

I have looked at the Oneplus buds Z so far, are there any other suggestions?

THESE (Jabra 65t) are absolutely brilliant and I had got them sub-3k, but are now more expensive again. Highly recommended.

For ~5k, Galaxy Buds+ are another option. Can be had for 4990/- on the Samsung Store with a credit card discount.

In the current prime day sale, these are available for 2.7k. is it worth buying these in 2021?

They are available for this exact price (4990 /-) on Amazon currently. Which ones would be better to pick up now,
These Galaxy buds+, the Jabra 65t or the OnePlus buds z. (Does it make sense to wait for the OnePlus buds pro pricing?)

I am listening to music on these right now as I type and the answer is a resounding Yes.

Elite 65t and Buds+ are both great, with a couple differences.

Battery life: 65t has a claimed life of 5 hours, plus another 10 from the case. Buds+ can go nearly 11 hours on a charge, plus another 10 from the case. Shouldn't really be an issue unless you're the kind with marathon listening sessions for a use case.

Call quality: Buds+ are better, but not 2x better given the current sale prices.

Multi-point connectivity: 65t can connect to two devices at once, Buds+ can't.

I use the Buds+ for when I'm on the move because they provide a better fit with the additional wingtips. Most in-ear devices I've used fall out of my right ear. These fit snugly and stay that way for hours.

I wouldn't bother with the OnePlus. They lack a few features (esp. if connected to non-OnePlus devices), and simply aren't as good as the other two you're considering.

Thanks for the quick response. I ended up ordering the Buds+ primarily because of the battery life (Would be using it during my college classes). From reviews the music quality was more or less the same so I was not too bothered.

Thanks roy_libran, ultimately went with the buds+ because of the battery life.

Tip: keep the ambient noise feature turned off when you don't need it. It can be a bit of a battery hog if left on all the time.

I'm looking to buy a microphone that could be connected to a phone to sing songs. I am not looking for anything professional. Basic noise cancellation and better sound quality than recording directly from the phone should be enough.

If you have a phone with a 3.5mm audio jack (or a converter connector to use one), this is a good, reasonably priced option.

Better half uses it to record audio clips for various purposes, and is a satisfied customer.

Elite 65t is good one and rugged one. It has fallen several time and survived. But it is not comfortable and perfect fit. I cannot dare to walk wearing those. It is good for office desk and bed.
If budget permits, then there is no match for AirPod Pro.

I'm using the 75t and those seem to fit perfectly. infact its one of the few that i can actually run with, without them falling out.

if you need to do a lot of windows calls for work (zoom, teams etc), Jabra integration with Windows BT is solid. Generally with Consumer brands (Sony, Sennheiser etc) i have found it pretty spotty. Phone integration is great, but PC integration is bad (Too much fiddly settings to get your headset to get detected, frequent dropouts etc, issues with switching between headset and headphone mode)

I'd recommend looking into this- LYPERTEK - TEVI.
If used indoors primarily, this will be great. Battery life is 10hrs + 60hrs from the charger case.

Thanks.
I received them today and Im enjoying the listening experience initially.

One issue: the case battery percentage is not showing up on the wearables app. Could this be because I'm using a OnePlus phone and not a Samsung?
