[Electronics-Talk] bluetooth ear buds

Thu Sep 13 02:40:06 UTC 2018

One thing that i should also point out about the AirPods is that you can use either one without using the other. However, not all true wireless earbuds have this option. The majority has a master EarPod and a slave.

It depends on what you are looking for. Where do you plan to use them? I have the AirPods so that when I am out and about I can use my phone and I don’t have to raise it up to my ear to be able to hear the screen reader.

Regards
Santi

They don't that easily, but easily enough and they could be hard to find outside. Plantronics makes one called Backbeat Fit that gets high ratings as one to wear for running. They sound comparable, I think, to the Air Pods but they do not have varied sizes. They really do not need that given the way they are constructed. My only complaint with them is that Plantronics has an app with them that I find hard to keep up to date, and if I let them charge down, don't use them for a while, they seek updating and this also means pairing again, which I find a bit harder than need be. Otherwise, I'd definitely put them into the mix as they are also less costly than the Air Pods.
