Here I am again, writing a review for a pair of no-brand, China-made, Bluetooth “True Wireless” earbuds.
Wireless earbuds got popular in part due to Apple – they removed the 3.5mm jack on their iPhones, so the only way the users could listen to music or enjoy movies was to use Bluetooth earphones.
So, this post is kind of a “sequel” to the previous post, where I went around hunting for a better set of Bluetooth earphones (than the Baseus Encok S06).
Short version – even though the Encok S06 received mostly good reviews, most of them stating that the sound is “good”, but there’s always a follow-up sentence – “… for the price point”. So yes, for such a cheap pair of Bluetooth earphones, the sound is indeed acceptable, some might even go as far as to say good.
For me, all along I had always been using my FREE Sony MH750 wired earphones that came with my phone, for YEARS, so I am used to how music sounds on them. The music sounds different on the Baseus, and I noticed it within seconds.
So yeah, now that I’m using my phone’s NFC more and more for card payments as well as taking the bus/MRT (EZ-link replacement), I no longer want to stick my 3.5mm jack earphones into the phone now to listen to music when travelling.
Some background – my phone is a Sony Xperia XZ Premium. I didn’t really like the earphones that came with it, so I continued using the ones from the previous phone – Sony Xperia Z5. They are the Sony MH750 earphones. Cheapo, I thought, cuz it came FREE with the phone.
