I use Enco air 2 pro with my iPhone 13. Very good pair of wireless Buds. Connectivity is seamless, audio is very good. Although I use it primarily to watch stuff on laptop and phone.

I will recommend recently launched Air 3 pro on Amazon. They are better than Air 2 pro.

re: Bluetooth Headphones and Earpods

I’ll keep this to the point.
For iPhones : AirPod pros
The sound quality is excellent, the durability (I’ve dropped it a few times) and battery life is excellent and it’s extremely easy to pair and it works very well if you have other apple products due to handoff.
For android :
I can only comment on OnePlus but either the Nord buds or the OnePlus buds pro.
They’re both very good at their respective price points.

You can also look at the Skullcandy Jib 2. They’re retailing at around 3.5 K on Amazon right now. Great to make calls, not for audiophiles though.

Or then see the Skullcandy Jib Plus. It is cheaper and has a small cord connecting the two earbuds so even if they fall they’ll fall around your neck.

Also to anyone with whom AirPods popping out of the ears and falling is an issue like with me (it seems I have slightly larger ear canals) , might I suggest this cheap and cheerful AirPod ‘string’?

re: Bluetooth Headphones and Earpods

I am not a fan of TWS as they keep falling down when I bend and engage in physical activities. I prefer the stability of a neckband, and I can always wear them around my neck and remove them from my ears. The dedicated microphone also picks up less background noise. I use the OnePlus Bullets Z2 Bluetooth, which costs about 2,000 rupees, and they pair perfectly with my Fire TV Stick as well, allowing me to watch movies late at night without waking anyone up

re: Bluetooth Headphones and Earpods

Any suggestions for a Bluetooth earphone (preferably neckband) which can work with an iPhone as well as a Samsung? Nothing fancy, I am looking something which I can use interchangeably between both my phones or laptop.

You may check out Samsung Level U2 neckband. They have a Flex model too I guess.

Does that work with iOS as well? I had a One Plus Z2 model but it didn’t work with the iPhone

I have a realme wireless neo 2 buds that I have paired with my work laptop and iphone. I use it to switch during zoom calls in case I have step away from my laptop to iphone. It can connect to only one device at a time, but is easy to switch between both.

re: Bluetooth Headphones and Earpods

Been using Jabra Elite 75T Wireless Earbuds for a couple of years now and extremely satisfied with the experience. Have served me well even after my switch over to iPhone from Android. Primarily use these for music and very rarely for calls.

Recently got the Airpods Pro Gen 2 as a gift. Yes, the experience is seamless when used with the iPhone. However, for some reason, I am more comfortable with and enjoy my Jabra ones still.

re: Bluetooth Headphones and Earpods

Bought these couple of days back.
I have Soundcore Liberty 2 since couple of years and really like them so this was a no Brainer.

Quick review-
1. ANC is fantastic. In fact I use the Adaptive Noise cancelling always and they work superbly. This was also my primary reason for getting them.

2. Sound Quality is great. Better than my Liberty 2 and there are numerous tweaks which can we do in Soundcore app as per our liking.

3. Multi device connection is a boon. Works seamlessly. I have connected these with my iPhone, Dell laptop and Sony tv. They switch over extremely well. For instance if I am watching something on Laptop and a call comes it automatically switches over to phone and receiving call.

4. Transparency works well.

5. Battery life with ANC is giving 6 hours plus. Soundcore claims it will give 8 hours plus but I haven't timed it too much yet. Maybe once they settled down in few days will time it.

6. Warranty is 18 months. Via Soundcore website we can increase it for 6 months more as per offer running now. Did it.

7. Comfort is fantastic. Better than all my earbuds so far. Didn't changed the tips and using default ones as they fitted perfectly in my ears.

Haven't experienced any major cons yet.

All in all for 6499 with some card discount running right now these are absolute Vfm in every area.

re: Bluetooth Headphones and Earpods

Hello,

I am looking for a TWS in which we get audio/video call mute functionality. My primary usage will be office calls so I am looking for a TWS in which I can mute an ongoing call (both phone call or Zoom call) through gesture like double tap.

I have heard that some of the smartwatches can take calls and some smart watches can connect to TWS as well. So in such cases, I don't mind doing a Mute or Unmute on the smartwatch connected to TWS if not directly doing a mute on the TWS.

Please guide me with TWS or TWS / Smartwatch combo which offers mute functionality.

Jabra TWS have mute during calls.

https://www.jabra.in/supportpages/ja...-Jabra-earbuds

Hopefully some video reviewer would have tested it with Zoom / Teams /Slack and mentioned controls in video.

And if that status reflects in teams as well. Some headsets dont do this, they rather have an analogue mute that will end up with clashing status on teams and the headset. So you should choose what works better.

.
How good is the call quality? My biggest problem with every Bluetooth headphone i tried is call quality. The callers hear background noise more than my voice and if in a Metro or place which has more background noise having a conversation becomes impossible
