Bluetooth buds for calls and running

Galaxy Buds+ or AKG N400.

Sound quality is better than any other TWS out there, affordable price, they're light, and even better if you have Samsung phones.

(I'd grab Galaxy Buds+ if you have Samsung phones)

Fussy connections. I’ll wait for version 2

I love AKG Headphones and when I caught reviews that these were now available AND the sound quality was rated on par with many wired iems that were know for excellent tonal reproduction and detail retrieval I had to buy these for myself despite already owning the also excellent Sony WF 1000XM3. In m...

Looking for overall best earbuds

According to [Crinacle](https://crinacle.com/guide/tws/), the best *sound* comes from the AKG N400, which are based on the Galaxy Buds+. I have otherwise not heard anything about the N400s, though. Runner-ups include the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds+, and the Sony WF-1000XM3s, all of which are otherwise well reviewed.

IMO, not as good as everyone says.

For the price, they are fantastic. Sounds pretty good, Bluetooth works well, and relatively compact. Some here said these are better than AirPods, I have to disagree for my preference. Obviously everyone has his or her own preference when it comes to sound profile, but for me, these do not sound nea...

So far I have no idea where to start on the closed backs but I have settled on the AKG N400 for the IEMs. I was looking at the Sundaras so if anyone knows of something comparable but closed back please let me know. More info: the reason IEMs are on my list, particularly wireless ones is almost exclusively for being able to use these one pair as my daily driver with everything.

Good sound, mediocre app and features

If you are choosing between these and the Buds +, go with the Buds! These sound great, impressive bass and clear vocals. Noise canceling is the feature I thought I wanted but the app is garbage compared with the Galaxy Wear Buds. I assumed these would be compatible with the Samsung app, since the Bu...

Bluetooth earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation

I know the Sony's are the go to recommendation, but you really should check out the AKG N400. They're the highest rated tws buds on crinacles list.

Sadly not worth buying

I should've returned them. Bit the window to do so has closed. I had them two months. And i really tried to like them. The sound is not that good. Don't stay in the ear well and i tried different size ear buds. They protrude so much from the ear. And they make a funny sound if you are in a car and t...

Just got the fill t1xs, for me the sound is kind of muddy, not sure if I am doing something wrong, here are my impressions:

There are exceptions, of course, like the Sparks and AKG N400 (both from audiophile-oriented companies). >they are not good as the reviewers says, not even close. You're right, and this is why you should not take advice from techtubers regarding sound. At this point, if I don't know for sure that they know what they're talking about, then I just assume they're clueless.

Great sound quality, terrible latency and no AptX support

These sound really great but trying to use them for video calls or even watching videos online really highlights how terrible the latency is on these. I have reverted to using my old Shure BT-2 bluetooth setup for that kind of stuff. If your primary use-case is music listening, though, they're hard ...
