            How I wished this article was made a week earlier. It could have saved me some money. I bought a wireless earphones few days ago at around $60 out of curiosity even though I am very critical about these wireless things. I am very aware that these wireless earphones are disposable and designed to make more money for the companies. After I tried my new wireless earphones, it made me realize that these wireless earphones are not better sounding than the bundled wired earphones of my Nokia 7 Plus. Apart from the features like ANC, awareness/transparency modes and wireless capability, their sounds are not significantly different.

              One thing I’m not a fan of is the piece that goes into the ear canal. I prefer the type that sit there like the original apple air pods and my fav my sound peats.

                Infact i got the KZ DQ6 and ZSN pro from there

                    KZ ZSN for me the best wired earphones, the aound quality is just amazing. Compared to class A JBLs or Sony, this is way better.

                        "" so they could sell overpriced, mediocre wireless garbage to consumers ""
                        "" All of these are priced under $30 and somehow still sound better than most $300 wireless earbuds. ""

                        This is the truth no doubt, but I can't believe I'm listening to this on GSMArena, which so far has mostly maintained diplomacy with the industrial trends. Way to go, GSMArena. Good work!

                        Although with reference to Indian market, one can't find much of them, so its better to get Soundmagic E50C/ E80C, specially if you have a QuadDAC setup.

                          Blon was too vocalish for me, not enjoyable. Kinera bd005 (non pro) is ideal for me, \ like bass, BA+dynamic.

                            The wire is there for reasons.

                            Tried several TWS and now happily sticking to CCA C10

                                How about the ZSN Pro X compared to the ZS10 Pro's?

                                  I mainly listen through a 15usd HE 150 bought from Aliexpress, they're really nice. Otherwise Sony mdr-7506 for over ear since it's a tank that's cheap in the sense that it will probably never break.

                                    [deleted post]Get yourself KZ ZSN Pro X, I was surprised that they easily beat way more expensive earphones. And since they're cheap there's no reason to not try them.
