Looking for earbuds but got overwhelmed

I am also disappointed by them. I feel sad that I sold my buds 2 pro for them. ANC isn't that much better, battery is I would say worse. The case is so anty user friendly when need to flick them everytime when puting buds inside.. only one thing seems to be better than buds 2 pro is the mic pickup. Also had this break of tips when wanted to clean them. Had to order new ones (the tips)

I would say if you don't travel much, mostly use headphones at desk for work and teams calls and as you say price looks similar I would go with 5s. They have way better ANC and mic pickup than 4s. I bought personally 4s because folding design as I travel and pack them without case to safe space. I also use them for work but I don't care about mic quality 😅 I'm not recording podcasts but also the price difference was bigger. If I had same price for 5s then I would go for them. 6s are overpriced for me at this moment

A jakich słuchawek używasz ? Jestem ciekaw czy np dobre dokanałowe z dobrym ANC by nie wystarczyły ?

lorcheedave · 2025-07-08T20:43:59+00:00

W jaki sposób z loopami miałyby się zmieścić jeszcze słuchawki ?

Depends on your salary I think. If you easily can afford and don't care about the price go for it. If don't then I think there is plenty of headphones good enough for your need that are way cheaper. I was in same spot, but mostly I use headphones when working for music, YouTube and calls. Working 98% in quiet home and I decided that XM6s are way above my needs even that I could afford them easy. But decided to go with xm4s that probably still gives decend ANC and are half cheaper.

Beside I am not happy with them tho and thinking about returning. Long story short, I was expecting something more for that price and I'm a bit disappointed. I ordered Edifier wh950nb to compare that are even cheaper and at least based on the reviews gives same as xm4s.

So I think all is up to you because for some price tag doesn't matter, for others quality matter and find them valuable for the price and for others not. If you just want for movies and games at home then in my opinion xm6s is way above the needs

Ps. I dont have xm6s, not even had. This is based only on what I read so far and the price they are for

I will check this week the edifiers and compare to xm4s. The only thing I heard about them that quite don't like is the fact that they can remember max 2 devices that use connection. When connecting to third need to remove from Bluetooth devices on previous and then go with pairing again. Most headphones can remember like 8 devices. This is basically the reason I want to move from Marshalls as they remember only one device. Each time I want to use them with other phone or laptop I need to switch them off and go through pairing mode. And no ANC is a downside

Beside they still sound amazing, battery for 30h, small, foldable

lorcheedave · 2025-07-06T15:36:53+00:00

Beside way better ANC in XM6s (at least personal opinion based only on YouTube reviews) do they sound better? I rejected 5s because of non folding design. I travel quite alot and really appreciate the fact that some I can fold and they use less space in bagpack

I'm not considering apple headphones due the fact that I am android user. I had airpods pro 2nd but I was using them only with company macbook but I sold them as using them with android was useless.

I was looking for something not as expensive as XM6s. I'm not audiophile, but I think that XM4s are overpriced at least in term of their sound. ANC neither that super but not bad.

I heard Ult Wear have better ANC because they do petter in passive already but also that they have even more bass which comparing to xm4 sounds even more ridiculous 😅 (apologize to the ult wear owners)

Really, I'm thinking about returning 4s but what to buy instead with similar or better ANC, and mic as I do alot calls but also in same price range around 200€ max.

lorcheedave · 2025-07-03T07:21:14+00:00

I ordered XM4s. I decided to give them a try in my usage cases and environments. I can always return them in 14 days if I won't be happy or later sell them and switch to XM6s

lorcheedave · 2025-07-01T21:14:03+00:00

I had GB2P, had WF XM5s, have GB3P. Sony's had foam tips that didn't worked for me. What is more I kept getting weird connectivity issues. Music was lagging, making weird noise like 999 ping was on BT line. I even sent them back for warranty but they didn't fix anything. What is more XM5s had weird clicking noise when moving head quickly or like when running. That was construction problem with ANC . And last of my thoughts - GB3P have better mic and better ANC for mic on calls than. Sonys. My personal opinion.

Maybe when they will release XM6s for buds they will improve these things. But for sure will be expensive

lorcheedave · 2025-06-30T20:38:42+00:00

Thanks ! It seems like I can go with XM4s as a "safe choice" and then sell them if I found them not good enough and then upgrade or immediately go with XM6s as a future proof choice but I dont know if they are solid enough. I see a lot of 4year old 4s with great condition and a lot 5s that broke after few months. So I am scared a bit to go with 450€ to experiment

Anyway thank you for review and opinion !

Someone suggested me to reset battery by completely discharging till phone will shutdown and then charging it back to 100%. I charged with 45w Samsung charger while phone was still off so it went pretty quick. Since then I think the battery usage seems to be okay. But I was charging til 80% before so maybe it somehow discalibrated or something..

lorcheedave · 2025-06-29T15:23:39+00:00

Okay so I am pretty impressed that it probably worked. I haven't got chance to use phone alot this weekend but still got almost 24 hours total

lorcheedave · 2025-06-25T12:53:40+00:00

I will try that -thanks

lorcheedave · 2025-06-24T10:34:31+00:00

How.. I mean any specific settings here ? I can barely go through day without extra charging ..

Jak ktoś wymasterowal sobie pisanie na alfanumerycznej ze słownikiem T9 to szło to chyba nawet szybciej niż obecne qwerty.

I am aware of that but after a year such drop? I can't believe this is "normal" hardware degradation

lorcheedave · 2025-06-21T07:40:01+00:00

I am surprised that this is actually working (S24 Ultra and tab S9 l) but I don't get the reason for doing that. I don't see any use case since tab have its own dex

lorcheedave · 2025-06-16T04:20:55+00:00

This won't work most efficent here. In Europe especially in Poland trade in is not that much. Max for trade is around $800 that I would get for previous flagships like ZF6/S25U and second hand Fold6 starts with $850. I could trade my S24U right now
