Anonymous, 19 Aug 2024Maybe it's time to upgrade your ancient Redmi budget phonedo you know what interference is? he obviously had a 2.4ghz wifi. while the bluetooth uses a 2.4ghz signal which leads to slow internet connection or maybe choppy audio transmission.
it is clashing each other so it leads some trade-offs. wired earphones do still have its solution.

      Wireless buds are really convinient but I do miss wired. I used an Xperia phone for a few years just so I can have a headphone jack on a high end phone. Wired ones typically sound better and last way longer too.

Well i actually got a lot of different versions just to test them out on how good they were for my ears for long term use. But in overall still less spent money then these wireless cost.

              Also i like the old school in-ear headphones without the rubber silicon thingies that i dont understand how to get them stuck on my ears cause i have not learned the trick of it.

                          All these headphones were good idea to make a lot of money as people are careless and lose a lot of them earphones so they buy new one few times a year.

                                Feels like we should have that info to compare

                                  As long as I use TWS, the weakness is quite annoying, especially when you also use WiFi, it makes the WiFi connection slow, latency in games is reduced, download speed is slow... The good thing is that my phone still has a 3.5mm jack.
