Please Recommend Cheap, OK Sounding Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for Music

LSubada on 30/01/2017 - 16:09

I need some 'truly' wireless bluetooth earbuds to listen to discreetly at work (office job). I would've splurged on a hearable like the Bragi Dash or IconX but none of them are quite up to my standards for a ~300 dollar purchase yet. I'd consider using 'The Headphones' by Bragi but again they're a bit expensive at 150 USD for something I'll only use at work and maybe the gym.

So until the next gen of hearables comes out I need a cheap pair of earbuds that I can use to listen to music without wanting to rip my ears off. Stereo, a couple hours battery life, decent bluetooth connectivity and no wires or bulky bits hanging off your ears! Around $50 AUD would be fine.

I've seen a few brands on Ebay but can't find many reliable reviews for them, Amazon has a few good ones but none of them seem to ship to Australia -_-

      I did do a search. No one seems to be looking for budget "truly" wireless earbuds (to borrow the marketing terminology).

      That means zero wires, nothing running across the back of your neck. Also means no bulky bluetooth "headset" style design.

      Looks like this:

      But without the price point. Obviously if such a product exists it'll sound much worse but I'm just looking to see if someone knows of any such earphones that are at least tolerable.

    Around $50 AUD is kinda where cheap bluetooth earphones with cords fall under ($30~$50), I have my doubts on cordless ones being that cheap being decent.

    That said, I have heard about QCY Q29 (which is currently USD $49.30 at aliexpress) as a cheap cordless earphone, but I have no clue whether it is decent or not. I've heard that it's at least better than what was expected with a cordless earphone at that price range (from people who bought it), but I honestly don't think that says much. The review I've seen was from a person who preordered it from Taobao, so he might've had lower expectation because it was cheaper than USD $49.30.

    So I'd probably look into that. Good luck with your search.

    Why Bluetooth?

    Amyway, perhaps try these https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/348668 with the Bluetooth module cable.
