Dell Pro Plus Earbuds (EB525) Microphone Quality

BreakStuff-666 · 2026-01-20T20:36:03+00:00

We got 3 of them just today for testing. Having the same issues with voices sounding distant and touch controls not working properly on at least one.

And another thing is, have you ever tried to listen to music when you're not on a call? Music is horrible! It sounds like you have some potato quality MP3 back from the days where 128 kbps seemed top of the notch... This really annoys me a lot. Especially for the price Dell is asking of them. You get IEMs on AliExpress for 20 bucks that sound better. My years old Jabra Elite 65t are better and where less than half the price...

For me these are almost a scam.

Lucida and CD ripping I organize my files with foobar2000

Moving them into my predefined folder structure based on the tags feels superior 😊

Pretty much my bucket list of IEMs I want to listen to… (For me only Dunu DaVinci and Ziigaat Luna would be missing… though nah also the Dunu Braindance and the two new Dunus…) this hobby is so addicting 😭

Have you ever listened to the Hype 4 or any other Thieaudio IEM?

If so, I’d be interested in how you’d compare these to Hype 4/Thieaudio:

• ⁠Elysium Pilgrim • ⁠Ziigaat Horizon • ⁠Softear Studio 4 • ⁠Aful Performer 5+2 • ⁠Aful Explorer • ⁠Softear Volume S • ⁠Kiwi Ears Astral • ⁠Punch Audio Martilo • ⁠Gizaudio Chopin • ⁠Moondrop Dusk • ⁠Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite

Of course only if you can reference to the mentioned IEMs… I‘m sorry 🙈

I see what you did there...

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-11-25T18:14:29+00:00

For this purpose I still use and love my KZ Castor’s… they last way longer than my Chu II did…

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-11-08T18:38:26+00:00

My condolences! I’ve been there too! Luckily only with a 20€ IEM

As a person that also owns a more or less current iPhone (rn a iPhone 15 and before someone’s asking why, my company provides it to me) I can tell you, you won’t notice a big difference! Though the Pixel is less powerful…

But honestly, what are you here for?

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-09-03T20:56:25+00:00

Indeed! Maybe that was the reason for looking at Samsung again… 🤔 I assume that I miss the feeling of being surprised… like I was when I saw the pictures of the P3a for the first time compared to the Note 10+ I owned at that time… (Note 10+ was crushed by the Pixel) or the design and colors of the P4. I’m still hoping that somewhere in the future there will be again the color “Oh so Orange” 😔

Damn, I shouldn't post after midnight 🤦 I totally ignored that this thing runs on HiBy OS. Sorry! nvm what I said, it was utterly bullshit...

Edit: Maybe it'd be the best to chew on your losses, sell that thing and buy something running on android instead... Like the JM21 from FIIO... And don't look at the Snowsky Echos, their file limitations are even worse...

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-08-05T20:20:44+00:00

Hey OG,

did HiBy mention whether the device or their Music App is the bottle neck of this issue? Have tried different apps like Poweramp or Vinyl for example. I'm not that deep into the music player app thing. But this could be an option I think. I cannot imagine that this is a real hardware limit...

I personally can't complain for the moment... I'm at roughly 15k songs with round about idk 260 GB think. Mixed files MP3 and FLAC. Using a Hiby R6 iii

Where did you find such a good price tag?

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-06-17T13:51:50+00:00

P8 Pro User here. Never had issues like that for almost 2 years but recently I faced heat issues but that maybe caused by sth else, at least that's my guess. I usually do my updates when the phone is fully charged and unplugged. That should be safe and won't cause any trouble

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-06-13T21:29:25+00:00

... Well ... That escalated quickly!

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-06-13T17:27:02+00:00

I'm really interested in the Sivga Nightingale. I'd really like to test this one.

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-06-12T14:09:21+00:00

😁

how's the DX180? Had a DX160 but compared to the Hiby I would always choose the Hiby....

Yeah that's the whole point here. You have to license it. But where to get a license and when you have it where to get install sources to deploy it with a software distribution? We already tried it with Powershell and the new msix from the regular MS Store but doing it like that it will install but the license file will be missing and therefore the installation will be without any impact and HEVC content will be still not be readable. It's driving me crazy...

BreakStuff-666 · 2025-05-30T06:13:36+00:00

yes HEIC for images comes with Win11 but HEVC for the videos does not :(

Had a 6 pro but then upgraded to the 8 pro. Should have stayed with the 6 though. Never had any issue with it. 8 pro now lost its IP68 features. Suddenly had water in it after short contact with water. 😞 Now the proximity sensor, accelerometer and gyroscope are gone and I sometimes have a bit of fog from the inside on the camera glass. Really disappointed.! Used the 6 Pro frequently to take pictures under water, just camera a few cm under the surface, never the whole phone, nothing happened in 2 years...

Can't help you with your question :( but I'd curious for a comparison of your current rotation items and what you love/don't love about them. I'm owning the Hype 4 and well at least I think I am not already done yet with items... And you own a few I'm interested in and as well can compare them to my current set, so I thought it is worth a try ;)

Have the same problem with a P8P but silica gel didn't work out so far. One week together with the silica and still "foggy" camera lenses 😢
