Which truly wireless earbuds are you using with the Note 8 and you would recommend? Looking to buy one.
Been eyeing the Beoplay E8. I am more concerned about audio fidelity (for a bluetooth device) over any other factors.

The Beoplay E8 and Apple Airpods seem to be the best for the Note 8.
very good review of a few including the two above:
the guy named Jay does a solid comparison of the E8 and Airpods on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B074WTL19N/ref=mw_dp_cr

My concern is that he is testing all these using an iPhone. With the Note 8, even the codec being used changes. That is why I am looking for actual people using the Note 8 with wireless buds.

He tested with note 8:
a few Amazon reviews have the note 8 in the link I posted comparing the E8 to Airpods.

I've been using Beoplay E8's with Note 8 for the past 3 weeks and I've gotta say, I'm amazed! Audio quality is good, connection strong, and no issues so far. App lets you adjust audio and build is outstanding.
I've been using Gear Gear Iconx (2016) would love to upgrade to the 2017 model for better battery life.
I got the 2018 icon X. They can be paired with a device or even used without one. They sound good and have good touch controls.
I had the Icon X 2018, got them from B&H for $150, they were great at the beginning, but some annoynaces were like this:
1. No way to Power Off the buds without putting them back in the case, this means lots of charging/discharging the whole time.
2. Touch controls became finicky after about 2 weeks.
3. Totally subjective I know, but they hurt my ears, tried all combinations.
Back to Jaybird RUN, with latest FW Update the BT connection is rock solid, Volume is much higher than the IconX 2018, and the sound fidelity through the Jaybird App EQ settings is Superb to say the least, and I'm a musician so I know quality sound vs ... you know!
I just picked up the Blueant Pump Air.
Not bad at all and super light (4 grams)
http://www.myblueant.com/products/headphones/pumpair/
I have finally decided to pick up the E8. Once the Note 8 gets Oreo (which should be soon), i guess the lack of aptx will not matter much.
How is the audio delay when watching youtube videos with the latest firmware?
On a side note, there is Ashley Chloe's Fuse coming out soon. They have aptx and usb c charging! Would have considered them if they were to be available by mid february.
I have the Jabra elite sport and I really like them

1. They power off on their own when disconnected from blue tooth.
2. I've had them since Christmas and use them everyday. Touch controls work as good as they did when I got them. Not sure what exactly would make them "finicky" after working fine.
3. They literally have four different size pads. If you can't find a fit, then you got wonky ears lol.
Seems you quickly wrote off the IconX because you all ready had your mind made up. Which is fine, but let's be honest. The jaybird RUN is an icon X knockoff. And what's funny is I read more issues about the jaybird sounding bad and not fitting right. They even have the same pod case setup that Samsung uses. And surprise, surprise, they are just $15 less msrp than the icon X. You can tell they are trying to be the icon X. I'll just stick to the original that happens to also work seamlessly with my device. I'm also not sure what being a musician has to do with hearing sound quality, but hey, as long as you feel good about it...
I was looking at the B&O but ended up ordering the crazybaby nano off indiegogo mainly due to BT5 and future proofed.
These are shipping this month and the order is locked so have no doubt to question this date (as I am with other campaigns).
NONE OF THEM SOUND GOOD
you'd be disappointed.
i have the the bose one, bragi one

Hey, do you have issues? or really really long free and boredom time at your hands?
You criticised and analyzed every bit of word that I wrote, as if you are the master of the world, and you know everything and that you are God of technology. Grow the f up dude, I was just sharing my experience peacefully, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I loved the IconX but preferred the Jaybird RUN at the end, end of story!
Let's not forget that the Truely wireless "thing" is still a new "thing" they will mature with time and provide better options than what we have now.
I have gone through a bunch of them - at the holiday -, and it was like you cannot just get all the PROS from all of them into 1 set, each had their pros and cons, like anything else.
I was expecting the Bose to be the top, but with their open-ended design, the sound was very shallow and thin, maybe it was made like this by design to provide ambiance awareness or sth., Elite Sport was great too.

Hey, I just didn't agree with you and I stated why. You are getting a bit heated over it. Relax... :thumbsup:
Could someone suggest one that won't cost me a kidney? Already sold my right kidney for Note 8. Jk but foreal nothing over $100? Now I could just search top ten earbuds for under $100. But I rather hear from someone who has the same phone as me. I've seen different results with headphones from 1 phone to a totally different phone.

Good wirefree headphones will be hard to find sub $100 since the tech is still new :/
If you are looking for good wired headphones, I'm using A-jays Five and Xiaomi Mi Headphones Pro HD and both are great for little money Jays sounds more natural and Mi sounds more bassy
I'm looking to record some local live music events and am wondering how the audio quality is when recording video on the P20 Pro. Does it distort and become shrill at higher volume levels? (not stadium concert-level - more like a band at a bar or similar).
I realize for best results an external mic is preferred, but I don't have one just yet. Currently I'm using a Note 8 and it does fairly well, but I wanted something with better battery life.

I tried recording audio at an outdoor concert and the audio was unusable. It was an older software version but I am unsure it'll be any better on .110 update.
Has anyone tried any external mic on the p20 pro? i tried using it but it doesnt detect the external mic and records with the internal mic.

Hmm ok. Hopefully they fix that in an update or at least on the P30 Pro.
I went ahead and got the OnePlus 6T, but there's a good chance I may upgrade again in the spring to either the Sony Xperia XZ3 Premium (or XZ4 Premium?), Samsung S10+, OnePlus 7, or P30 Pro. We'll see.

I use the Galaxy S9+ for now. The video performance is much better, and pictures does not look oil painted.
When I zoomed at pictures at P20 they went bad very quickly, were S9+ are much better. Maybe why is not possible to zoom much at stock Huawei gallery
I had some lag at wifi remote Logitech hub, thats gone on S9+, lag at Google Photos is also gone, all notifications is 100%, while P20 were close from Huawei standard, On dual SIM I can see who's calling on second SIM while talking on first, which never happened on P20
, much better vibration on T9+, But P20 pro did have better battery life, about 1 hour more, while I never ran out on juice at S9+ with easy wireless charge. And P20 has the infrared remote too.
I do look forward to Galaxy S10+ and did not bather the Mate 20 pro where problems are similar to P20 pro

Nice! Yeah that was the issue I had with the Xperia XZ3 that just came out. Love the phone overall, but the camera was a letdown. It was great at outdoor photos and selfies, but indoor not so much. Def had some of that "oil painting" issue as well. Sony f'd that up b/c the previous phone, the XZ2 Premium, had like an excellent camera on it including a dual lens, where the XZ3 is single lens. But the XZ2 P's screen was a step back as it was LCD, and it didn't have T-Mobile VoLTE either. Anyway.........wow really? Ok. My issue with the Samsung and Apple (and even Huawei) phones is they don't seem to be color accurate, but instead tend to gravitate towards "warmer tones". Some ppl like that, but I don't. But for everything else they seem great.
Wow you're making me happy I didn't get the P20 Pro. I ACTUALLY ordered it last weekend but then cancelled it on Amazon before it shipped. lol And so yeah instead now I got the OnePlus 6T coming from T-Mobile. (trading in my LG V30 to T-Mobile for that $300 trade-in deal they had going). With the modded GCam app from XDA, the pics should come out really nice, though not from what I can see of samples, still not AS nice as Samsung's, Sony's, Apple's and Pixel's. So I dunno. But it might surprise me too! The XDA devs are constantly improving it. And when I compared it using the STOCK 6T camera to my LG V30 + its GCam mod, the 6T was actually a bit more detailed and color-accurate too. So it's up in the air now as to how good it will be. I just hate buying unlocked phones when it comes to reception. T-Mobile's about to deploy Band 71 (aka 600 MHz) in my area (Chicagoland) by year's end, and yeah Samsung will have it esp if I get a phone from them from T-Mobile, but Sony and Huawei? Nope. Hopefully next year they both will though. It's like come on be more competitive guys! lol Even unlocked 6T has it, so what's their excuse? lol
Yeah P20 Pro's battery is great, and 6T's is rated 1 hour higher on GSM Arena, which is nice. P20 Pro's is rated 3 hours higher than the S9+. That was another draw but in the end, I was made to believe the 6T with GCam mod could come very close in at least daytime shots, and with it having Pixel's Night Sight ported, I thought it could do the same for night. I don't know if that will actually happen though. We'll see. Phone comes within the next few days.
Yeah the S10+ is on my list so I will check it out. I just WISH Samsung would stop with the warmer tones. If they had I very seriously would've considered the Note 9 or S9+. The Mate 20 Pro................didn't have T-Mo VoLTE, so that was an instant fail for me. But if it had I would've prob got that over the 6T cuz I think slightly better camera than P20 Pro. The P20 Pro's Night Mode though is ridiculous. No other camera comes close. I guess it's really hard to find the perfect phone, esp if you're kinda picky about certain things like me. lol

Yes I can confirm it. Exactly the same happened with me on GNR this summer.
They say the newer Mate 20 Pro improved upon the video quality, so I guess you can always upgrade to that too, or wait for the P30 Pro. Though what sux is because of all this crap about Huawei being spies, it seems that the reception quality will suffer. The P20 Pro for example had VoLTE on it and therefore for like T-Mobile, you could access their Band 12 radio band, which has twice the range and four times the capability to penetrate through walls & buildings.
On T-Mobile, you can only access it if the phone is certified with them, which many unlocked phones are, but many aren't. The P20 Pro was, but the Mate 20 Pro wasn't, which is why despite wanting it (Mate 20 Pro) badly, I ended up getting the OnePlus 6T through a great T-Mobile promotion. Not sure if VoLTE works on Verizon or AT&T, but maybe? You'd have to check on here. HOPEFULLY the P30 Pro though will have it and also Band 71 too, which T-Mobile is currently deploying all over the place, and should be mostly done doing by the end of this year. Neither the P20 Pro or Mate 20 Pro has that, but I'm hoping the P30 Pro will. However, the way things are going, I have strong doubts.
My p20 pro audio quality during live video recording at concerts also sucks
have the same issue with p20 pro. after giving it so many tries recording live videos for bands and live music, i can finally say that my samsung s8 plus owns the p20 pro in recording in concerts/bars/loud music anyday*
Its worth noting that my s8 plus audio input/output is at MONO which has the small single speaker next to the charging port. not sure if the fact thats its mono makes it recorder clearer audio? Or perhaps it has noise cancelling feature in the software.*
For the P20 pro, I hope someone has a solution for this noisy live recording issue. I tried to play with the camera setting and audio setting but same results.
I' have same Issue ?.
There is a software way to Fix it? Seams that this phone have some sorta of audio filters enabled
Hi guys,
Quick question, do any of you own a pair of the AirPods Pro and use them with your Pixel 4 XL? I cant seem to get the microphone working. Everything else works as advertised. (Play/Pause/Noise cancellation/etc)
Thanks in advance,
Sam
And if this isn't the proper forum to ask? Maybe Reddit?
Maybe no one can answer your question cause nobody else uses Apple AirPods with a Google Pixel. I'm waiting for Google Pixel Buds 2 to be released.

I wouldn't have possibly guessed that would have been the first response I got. Thanks so much for your helpful insight! :good: I'm waiting with bated breath to hear about your experience with the Google Pixel Buds 2.
Back to the subject at hand though.
No, I can't imagine many people use that combination, but if you are unhappy with them and want noise cancellation buds, you are better off with the Sony WF1000XM3's
I do. Except for autopaus when removing them from my ears they work great.

So you're using the new AirPods Pro with a Pixel 4 XL and can confirm the microphone(s) works with calls?
I don't have the new Pros but I do have AirPods 2 and they work fine in terms of the mic.
I know it's not too much help since it's not the same AirPods model but I thought I'd share anyway for you to hopefully get to the bottom of your issue!

Alright great, thank you. I initially set up the Airpods Pro with my Macbook. It gave an option of have the microphone auto switch between both buds. I think I'll try setting it to right or left always, and see if that works.
I'll report my findings.
I have the AirPods Pro and used them successfully with the Pixel 4 XL. My first pairing attempt was not good for some reason. I was getting a lot of feedback. Second time around it worked without issues. I handled several calls with them, also without issues. I would say if you're having problems you want to first try to forget and re-pair. If that does not work you should get the AirPods Pro checked when paired with an iPhone and see if the same issue persists. Last resort is you can always get them replaced at an Apple store and see if the new pair behaves better.

I had this happen on occasion with my AirPod Gen 1's. I did try forgetting/re-pairing my AirPod Pros 3x. The microphone just started working randomly with my Pixel 4XL a few days into owning them. I accidentally answered a call with them on out of habit and they worked. :shrug:
If you have a friend with an iPhone or iPad pair them and let them sit charging for 30 minutes so that they update to the latest firmware. Mine were a bit glitchy at launch. After the latest firmware they're great, and I switch the airpods pros out during a call and the mic pics up whichever one was in my ear.
Pixel 4 here and great after the update.

Slightly OT but I'm wondering how the AirPod Pros are in general? Thinking of purchasing.
Do the rubber tips give you that "sealed ear" feeling? Because I try to avoid that.
Also, with my AirPods 2, I notice I can't get max volume unless I disconnect them, enable absolute volume, reconnect and then disable absolute volume. Is this the same with Pros?
I'd love to hear your two cents!

I successfully upgraded my AirPods Pro firmware last night. I connected them to a power source and left the case open and sitting next to my iPad for about ten minutes before noticing it upgraded. I had no trouble using them on my way to work today. I'll use them on some calls during the day and report back my findings. Thanks for showing me this.

Coming from the first generation AirPods, I prefer the AirPods Pro. I do miss being able to tap to pause. However, I quickly got used to the new squeeze feature.
The AirPods Pro are in ear so they do form a "seal". That being said they have a noise cancellation and a transparency mode. You may prefer transparency mode since it lets you hear whats going on around you. I use this when I order coffee/food in public for example. It's quite nice.
As far as the max volume issue goes. I also experienced that on occasion with my first generation AirPods, but have not yet experienced it on the Pros.
Hope this helps.

I already setup a return for my Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds. The case lid is super flimsy and overall everything feels like cheap plastic.
Not a fan of iPhones but gotta give credit to Apple for their computers and AirPods. They did a fantastic job with those!
Hello,
I am facing a problem with my buds pro, whenever Ambient mode or ANC is activated there is a weird hissing /static noise on my left earbud. I updated to the lastet firmware and reset the buds but still the same issue.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Sorry. Mine don't do that. Since you already reset the buds, not sure what else you could try.
My right bud pro has this issue.
I reread your Q and checked out this new Buds product.
Could be hardware or firmware. Took Samsung 1.5 years to finally get the SSC algorithm/ firmware right with Buds+ so don't hold your breath.
I'm still comparing the two but if audio quality is the same I go with the Buds+.
ANC is lot harder to implement and can degrade the sound quality.
These are sealed so background noise usually isn't a deal breaker.
So far I'm still leaning towards the Buds+
I want a definite HQ audio upgrade more than ANC.
Goofy Samsung... is good at dropping the ball.
Just to update you guys, after endless calls with samsung support France ( where I live). I ended up returning the unit and getting a new one, the new ones don't have any issue right out of the box.
The store told me that it was not uncommon so I guesss it's a hardware problem.
Thank you all for your replies!

Yay!
Samsung Tech Support sucks, trying to use it is believing. They won't cross ship either; they need the return before they send out the new ones.
Did you get lucky? If so it's a sure sign of a known defect. Either way, well done
Remember to update their firmware if updates are available...
Do you have the Buds+?
Have far does the bass extend on the Pro's?
Cutoff for the Buds+ is 27hz, at 35hz it's strong.
Cutoff for the Buds is 30hz; low bass is noticeably weaker and more distorted than the +'s.
Anyone who has a pair of the Buds+ and the Buds Pro please post your opinion of your listening experience between the two.

Hello,
I am facing a problem with my buds pro, whenever Ambient mode or ANC is activated there is a weird hissing /static noise on my left earbud. I updated to the lastet firmware and reset the buds but still the same issue.
Does anyone have the same problem?

My buds pro is the same problem, a static noise on left side after update... I bought in Brazil. Did someone already solve it?

If it happened after a firmware flash it is either a bad flash or bad firmware.
The former is more likely if only a few are doing it. There's no way to recover from a bad flash that I'm aware off short of sending them in for repair. The next update may undo a bad flash if it's a complete copy of the firmware. Not sure.
Be very careful when doing a Buds firmware flash. I've done over a half a dozen with no issue but it only takes one bad flash.
I faced the same issue with my buds pro, the static noise seemed to be annoying.. But suddenly it started working fine, I still didn't figure out what the problem was.. Hoping it doesn't happen again..
Are these Galaxy buds Pro really very good?
I have been trying to search everywhere after this site put them at their most recommended number one in a specific price range https://buy.guru/best-wireless-earphones-for-15000/
any user opinions would be helpful ,especially if compared to Apple Airpods as it would help me ascertain if i should buy them or not.
Cheers!

You have a Samsung device? If so it's a no brainer to go with one of the Buds.
Because all the Buds use the Samsung proprietary codec SSC they should blow Airpods away on a Samsung I would think.
The Buds are designed for Samsung and interface seamlessly.
The Buds+ never fall out, which is what I use.
I'm hesitant to go to the Pro's because of possible fit issues and the +'s have a very long battery life.
For music listening Poweramp's equalizer dials them in well. If you have an extensive music database Poweramp is well worth it. Requires a lot of setup but is completely able to be backed up 100% as long as the music database is intact.
Yes i have a Samsung S20 and a Apple XS Max too.
So need to use the earphones with both the devices. Have been trying to get a demo from someone who owns them, but all attempts thusfar have been futile.

If you use the Samsung a lot get the Buds+ if you want a sealed bud. The Buds+ support all the lame codecs that Apple has got but the interface will almost certainly suffer.
The Buds are integrated for Samsung's; if there's no Wearables Manager for Apples there will be loss of functionality when using on with Apple.
May work ok for basic calls, no clue though.
Sorry, I'm not an Apple guy... strictly PC and Android.
How wonderful are these Galaxy buds Pro?
I've been looking everywhere, but because this site ranked them as the most helpful user review in a particular price range and compared them to Apple Airpods, any user reviews would be extremely helpful in deciding whether or not I should purchase them.

I never tried the Pro. I like the sealed, compact Buds+. They don't fall out. 11 hour run time.
Airpods don't support LDAC or SSC codecs so you're stuck with SBC. They're bulky and look goofy. A poor choice for a Samsung phone.
Is there a way to connect fake Samsung buds pro? I know that if they are not original, it does not work with the app, but is there any way to hack the app or do something with the headphones? Perhaps by modifying the headphones they become compatible, either by software or hardware. I ask if it is possible.
Hi, just yesterday i bought a realme gt2 global version. I have been testing all the functions and it works perfectly, but in particular the quality of its microphone is horrible. I do not know if it is only my unit or if it happens in all units. Does anyone know something? Thanks
Oh man, hoping it is just yours - when I receive mine I will be able to confirm but I will likely only receive it end of the month / early April.
I noticed the same on some youtube video camera samples, in videos it sounds muffled. Do you mean call quality is bad too?
Same here. Compared with GT Neo 2 this GT2 mic is worse!

I think im between a Realme GT neo 2 (It has a good mic, but bad cameras....) or a Oneplus 9 Pro on 550€ (second hand but almost like new)... Its a shame, i was really happy with my GT2, but im going to hate not being able to send a WhatsApp audio with good quality...

In the tests that I have tried the Neo2 was better, but a little better. Taking into account the section of the cameras (the main one of the Neo2 is much worse than the imx766) and that it is from last year and will stop receiving updates a year before,… For my part, I would wait for the Neo3 or the Poco F4 to assess changing it. It is true that the price of the GT2 is a bit high compared to the Neo2, but if you have bought it on sale I think it is a good purchase, since the camera alone is worth about ~120$.
I also think that it is very valid for sending audio and talking on the phone, it may not be the best microphone but it defends itself. Maybe it can be fixed in an update (who knows?).
Sigh, this is really frustrating. I wonder if the Pro has the same issue?
So if one is on a phone, not on loudspeaker is it an issue or only if on loudspeaker?
WhatsApp voice notes not great quality either, not ideal. Wonder if an update would fix it although I'm assuming not.
Is there anyway to submit feedback to Realme? I'm hoping this is software, seems like such a dumb mistake or stupid place to cut corners

In this test video you can hear that the mic is very tinny... But it doesn't seem all too bad.

Yes, couldn't agree more...
I just received my device and the microphone doesn't sound bad!
I was prepared to send it back because of the mic but that isn't the case.
I have the global version and a quick comparison against my OP 5T its much worse. Theres background noise and it sounds muffled on the GT2 whereas my old phone sounds very clear compared to it.
This with the notification issue a few other people are having I may have to send it back
I just tested the mic and yeah it's not as good as my previous phone but it's not that bad.
Judging by what I've heard the problem is in the audio bit rate, realme for some reason keeps lauching phones with 96kbps instead of the minimum 192 or even 320kb.
Let's see if with the next updates they fix it. The march update is late by the way. Still on february security patch.
Hi! New owner of the GT2, having the same issue. I've reporter it here: https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1511645176815226880 , don't know if is the right place, but let's hope... Also, please report, maybe it will be fixed.
I did something to test if it's a hardware problem or software related. You can check different audio types of recording using Open Camera from Google Play. In Open Camera there is an option to change the audio by going to Settings, Video settings..., Audio source, and chose which sounds better to you. So, lets hope for an update from realme or for a way to root and manualy fix this.
As I've said before my suspicions are correct, it's the software.
I recorded videos in different audio sources and they all sound **** but in Unprocessed mode it sounds clean as it can be, the only problem is the volume, it's very quiet and there's white noise.
They have to tweak the noise supression algorithm. It sounds like my headset microphone without post processing (noise supression, echo cancelation) my voice sounds correct but there's white noise and keyboard/mouse are audible.
With it enabled, I sound more "artificial" but the background noises are supressed.
And of course increase the bit rate, it's at 93kb. Lol
Such a pitty phones have soo many bugs and issues now a days.
I ended up getting a refund on my GT2as the store could not get the global version and then purchased a OnePlus 9RT. Seems I may have dodged a bullet and skipped owning a buggy phone.
My GFs Redmi Note 10 Pro also had issues with the mic and proximity sensor. Great phone otherwise, but makes it frustrating for her to use.
Hopefully Realme fix the issue.
Was looking forward to buy this. First, the screen quality issue. Next, this mic issue. As tech experts say, 'Dont buy a phone with issues, hoping about future updates'. Might have to drop this phone, and buy GT Neo 3.
