Give your ears an orgasm. They deserve it.

Cheaper than the previous deal that is now marked as expired.

Yes, battery drain is an issue, and you need to recharge these more often than your vibrator, but personally I think these are still (subjectively) the best sounding true wireless buds around. And at least for my ears, they fit the best. The 1000XM3s hurt a bit.

For $150, a daily charge like your phone isn’t that bad of a compromise. $499 RRP is definitely bull though.

Postage is free.

Apparently you can stick a cheap USB C into the case and it will stop the discharge. If that does actually work, these are definitely worth the price.

    Problem with a daily charge is that's okay on a phone because either you replace the battery or upgrade your phone. If I buy earbuds I don't want to have to throw them away in two years because the battery is cooked.

    My wired Sennheisers are still going strong after 15 years, and I'm not looking to replace them any time soon.

        Eh that wasn't really my point; I have a pair of bluetooth earbuds too. But I wouldn't spend $150 on a pair of earbuds I know will only last me a couple of years because they are well known to be faulty, when you can get something like Jabra 75t for only $50 more.

          I’d just do a warranty claim at 1 year and 364 days. They come with a 2 year warranty from memory.

              @[Deactivated]: I reckon they would as two year from now chances are the model would be phased out. They do it for TV so now sure why they wouldn’t do it for this?

    There exists a fix for the battery drain issue. Someone figured out that the case continues to discharge even after buds are taken out. If the charging cable is plugged in, the case stop discharging.

    Solution is to buy a $2 USB type C magnetic plug. Good work around for the price of these buds.

    For the life of me I cannot get my 1000XM3s to sit right. The tips are either too small or too big and now I'm thinking it might just be the earbuds themselves.

    • VanDamsel on 14/11/2020 - 20:05

      I can highly recommend some aftermarket tips. Pick up some Azla Sedna Xelastec tips in the appropriate size.

      They're a super grippy, soft plastic that will adjust to the shape of your ear with body heat. I tried a fair few tips and those are by far the best I've found for the XM3

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 14/11/2020 - 20:15

        Thanks ill check it out. How do you determine size? Eg go smaller so you can put it in deeper (that's what she said) or bigger so the jam in (that's what she said).

        The earbuds are fantastic otherwise.

    • dainese on 15/11/2020 - 10:13

      I am also having troubles. I think the ball of the unit that sits into the cup of the ear is too far out. It assumes people may have dumbo ears or something. Or that it really needs to sit deep into the canal. Whilst it is secure enough and I have reasonable seal, they hurt after a few hours or less. very odd. i would not call it super ergonomic.

      Galaxy buds are lighter, and are more comfortable for me, slipping into the cup of the ear nicely. Same with tarah pros. 65T were ok but I found them to be a ltitle larger than they needed to be too.

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 15/11/2020 - 10:15

          That doesn't sound like it is sitting ok lol.

          It seems that they made the unit longer than it needed to be. Or maybe its just our ears.

          I found the foam eartips to recess into the unit more, creating a shorter overall length/reach. but yeah not a great fit overall.

        $150 for what many people are saying is the best sound quality on a wireless earbud, I think its worth it. I have a set of pixel buds and Jabra 75t so if the battery runs out it's not a major issue. Worst case I guess there's an excuse to return it. Also I find buds extremely subjective because the fit makes it or breaks it for you.

      Naah, it really is. These things cost $500 and they have a hardware flaw. There should have been recalled and updated - not promised that they will be updated with firmware. The amount of times I pick them up and they red light me or worse I miss calls because the case runs out of battery and the headphones turn on and connect.

  • mrau on 14/11/2020 - 19:30

    It's puzzling anyone is buying these when truly excellent QCY's are under $30. I've just purchased my 3rd T7 pair, as the previous two are now taken by my family members. I used QS2 and T5 in the meantime. Independent left and right, long lasting battery, and good sound. I have 65t too, and QCY is not worse. Jabra does not have left and right independent, and that's annoying, just like the Senhaiser

        • mrau on 14/11/2020 - 19:59

          That is such an ignorant comment. I use QCY's daily for work, often for several hours of voice and video conferencing. I hear clearly other participants, and there have been zero complaints about the sound when I'm talking. I've asked people on the call to tell me how I sound when using Jabra 65t and the QCY's, and the feedback was similar for all. I've only had better feedback when I use the big Plantronics, studio type Bluetooth headset, but using it is not nearly as convenient.

          One caveat, I rarely use them in public transport or outside, so maybe they'd be a bit iffy in such conditions. I wouldn't know.

          • onlinepred on 14/11/2020 - 20:26

            @mrau: It's not, I own many soundpeats, many qcy, galaxy buds, airpods momentum v1. No same person after using airpods or actual good buds, would say that the cheap buds have good call ability. Sure, in a silent environment they work really well, that's it though.

                Scarbir is a great resource, but by no means is it a objective review. The true air soundpeats he recommended, was far worse than the galaxy buds plus I eventually bought after realising no cheap buds are great at everything.

      Owning the Sennheiser and a couple of cheapies I have to agree. These are first generation and it shows. Bad microphone, average battery, bulky case, hardware faults. Unless I'm taking the Sennheiser's outfor purely music, I'll end up using one of the other pairs. Which is embarrassing when it's a $500 to $25 contest.

        They refused to acknowledge it was a problem. Gave me the run around with a whole bunch of "have you turned it on and off again" type of troubleshooting. Eventually gave in and sold them just to get rid of the problem.
        If you're happy charging them everyday, they have great sound. I found that everytime I wanted to use them the battery was dead or was close to it so they were usless.
        I picked up some galaxy buds when I changed phones and the difference is insane.
        Maybe look into the new version of the true wireless ones and see if they've fixed the battery issues as these will drive you nuts.
