13435574, powerbeats pro?
Posted by tariqhu, Sun Jun-20-21 11:22 AM
anybody using these with an android? I'm looking for buds that won't fall out my ear when I'm biking.

they're on sale for $170. seems like a good price since they're normally 250.

I have a pair of sony buds that sound great, but I keep having to push them back it get the best sound and ear security.
13435581, I've used them on my Android backup phone

I mainly use them on my iPhone, but they connect fine on my Android phone.

I think they sound really good, they stay in my ears, AND they have controls on them for all normal functions. Good battery life too.

Consider buying them used on eBay - you can get a set of pristine ones for around $80 shipped.
13435584, that's a good idea.

I will check that out. thanks for the info.
13435594, I got a pair…

bought them just for when I’m on the bike. Great sound, even when riding. I like that I NEVER have to worry about it falling out of my ear. They’re not my absolute favorite style, in terms of sound quality…but, for the purpose of riding the bike, there’s nothing I’d rather have.
13435639, I went ahead a got a pair yesterday to see how they feel.

I actually like the sound. wish there was an app for eq, but my phone has an eq, so it's fine.

not sure I like the wraps on my ears. will have to get used to that. should work for what I need.
13435598, i use bose soundsport free...great sound and never fall out...

they have different sized attachments to choose from so that you get a good fit for your ear.
13435640, I looked at those too. always like bose.
Posted by tariqhu, Mon Jun-21-21 04:15 PM

pros: great fit, incredible battery life, dynamic sound/drivers, app/EQ options that every audiophile will love, balance and range.

Con: you can't use the left headphone without the right.

Verdict: Best sound in its class.

*Ears are unique in shape/size, so the perfect fit will vary from person to person. Perhaps its time to consider options that involve molds?

13435666, I'm trying to keep the pricing down.

haven't ridden with them yet, but these seem like they'll fit the purpose.

I'm good with the sound on these so far. we'll see how they work with the wind noise.

I’ve never been an earbuds person(always feel like they’re about to fall out which is incredibly distracting) but wanted to be able to listen to music when I run. I’m shocked at how much I don’t even feel or notice the over ear hook. I tried a cheap pair(forget which brand) years ago and hated them.

These are nice! Comfortable, easy to use. Could be a game changer. Gonna wear them when I lift too instead of the big over ear ones that get all sweaty and fall off my head when I get up from laying down on the bench.
13444234, mine have been great for biking.

and pretty much everything else. I have spare pair of sony buds, but I barely use them now.

I have noticed an issue with the left one looking like it's not charged. also an issue with them just cutting out even though the phone says they're connected. can't pin down the timing to help figure out the cause.
13444218, Galaxy Buds Pro for biking and running…and I’m an iPhone user

I prefer these over my AirPods Pro.
The ambient sound is a MUST have for outdoor activities and it works better than the AirPods Pro for me. The AirPods Pro used to be great, but Apple put out an update that really fucked it up….. still works but nowhere near as good

Lacks ANC but otherwise its ok. Finessed some bootleg Elite 75ts from a scammer on ebay and those are holding up.
13444235, I have couple pair of headphones/buds with noise cancelling.
Posted by tariqhu, Sun Oct-10-21 12:18 PM
don't mind hearing through the music so I never use the noise cancelling. even on planes.
13444249, I got the Beats Studio Buds and I like them
Posted by Rjcc, Sun Oct-10-21 04:17 PM
and the other people I know who've picked them up like them

the fit and feel is on point, I like that they're in red, the sound is good, the only knock on them is that the ANC / transparency modes are pretty mid

they work great on android, but they don't have the airpods features on apple

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at
13444368, Airpods Pro 2 ($349) or Airpods Max ($549)
