Recommendation for Air Pods/Bose Free Wireless alternative

Hey guys.
I'm hoping to get some good value for money air pod style ear phones for Android.
I've had good experience with Tao tronics.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Air pods are pricey and average sound quality.
Bose free wireless don't fit my ears.

Thanks in advance

  • Xiaomi Airdots is decent, not sure what's the going price nowadays
    QCY T1C can be had for $20 so might worth a try

  • Steer clear of Jaybird branded products. Just returned mine after 1 week use as the bluetooth signal is incredibly bad with these earbuds. After some research online, seems like they have had this issue for years now.

    • Oh really, which product?

      I have a pair of Jaybird Bluebud X (Gen 1 I think without the removable battery - purchased early 2013) and they have been great.

      Although these are different to the more recent completely cordless ones I haven't had any trouble.

      I think some of the issues with some completely cordless BT earphones is that the BT connections is via one ear (e.g. Right ear) and then 'passed through' to the second one - so it depends on what purpose they are used for - taking calls, just music etc etc.

      • I bought the Jaybird X4 and apparently the X3 had the same issue. Couldn't even put the phone down next to me in the gym without bluetooth drop outs. If you wanted to have your phone in your pocket you had no chance of getting a clear signal!

        I have a pair of Sony BT headphones and you can walk about 20m away from the source without a drop out.

        I exchanged the earbuds for Beats X and they work fine :)

  • is there any other nicer / cheaper alternatives? how about Xiaomi ones?
