Jeff Matthews Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Which earbuds do you recommend? I want to connect to multiple devices, keep a long charge, and have good sound quality. If buds were Heritage, which would be the Cornwall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'm not a fan of wireless (won't last long enough for me).... so took Dean'o's X-20I recommendation. (I currently have an older pair of Custom 3's) So far, I really like the X20 and I LOVE the improvement of the cord over the Custom series. I don't know anything about the others to comment.

Those are pricey. Not ruling them out, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have VERY small ear canals and the ear buds are constantly coming out or coming so loose that i have to press them back in. I’ve used all the different sizes that come in the package and can’t get a tight fit. They do the job with some work, but i wouldn’t spend a lot of money on a pair. hope you have better luck.

I was going to order a pair of X20's.... something like $500. I don't need to spend that on something that might catch on my backhoe or tractor..... Turns out they've been discontinued.... found some on an internet public selling site for half price. So, I bought two pair. Just gave them a side by side with my (I forget) maybe $325 Custom 3's that were my replacement pair and recently came out of the unopened box.... these torque the C3's. I for one, DO like a solid bottom end (not sure that sounded right!) These have a much nicer bottom end sound than the C3's that I've been using for 13 years. I'm glad I bought 2 pair....I'm going to hate it when I catch the first one on a shift knob or something stupid like that. I bought two pair. I have one pair that are unopened. Well, the box is kind of open, but they are unworn. I'd be happy to send them to you so you can fiddle with them. If you like them, you can see if they're still available online for similar price, either buy them and have them sent to me (and you keep what I sent you) or you can send them back and go with another unworn pair. So far, I like these an awful lot. Who needs stinken TAD drivers on K402's... pfffffffffffffft~!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 I got these $50+ earbuds because of price and reviews. Many reviews say the sound quality is about as good as much more expensive ones, has a great mic., etc. My impression is this: The sound quality is pretty good, even when the volume is at 100%. I was hoping for ear-bleeding volumes, but they are loud enough that other sounds will not interfere with listening. The quality of the mic seems to be very good. I've used them on 2 calls so far, and both people said it sounded just fine. I don''t know that I will use these much for talking on the phone, though. We'll see... They would be very nice for talking hands-free so you can do other things without having to put your phone call into speaker mode. I investigated into the loudness issue to see if I could try a few things. There are many "sound booster" apps out there, and I tried one. It definitely boosts the sound, but after about a 10-15% boost (which ain't bad), it starts to crack up a bit. I don't know if I'm pushing a crappy "amp" from my phone or crappy speakers in my earbuds. I don't know that ear-bleeding, clean sound can be accomplished with a cell phone and ear buds. I've never heard a pair sound like you're listening to Cornwalls cranked-up. That was my hope but not something that is necessary to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
