giddyup Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm not talking about Bluetooth earbuds, but just the corded type that you can buy from a 7/11. They look cheap and nasty and flimsy as hell, but still cost around 200 baht for the cheapest model. I tend to go through them often because I listen to audiobooks in bed and fall asleep wearing them and they just end up in pieces. Can someone recommend a brand that's well put together and strong. Don't mind paying more if they last. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichCor Posted September 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2020 7/Eleven is the LAST place anyone should be shopping, unless they're willing to PAY for the convenience. Most of the earphones I buy cost around 99 THB from my local corner mobile shop. The only issue I run into is short-ish cord length as I use them plugged into my laptop as well as my phone. As other's recommend, recently bought wireless Bluetooth in-ear phones, the type where the longer-life battery and electronics sit on your neck, and really like them as an alternative to being 'tethered' or potentially tangled up when laying down listening to audiobooks. I also enjoy that they automatically turn on/off by magnetically separating the two earphones (so no microswitch to fumble with). These cost around 500THB but I've seen similar, or quickcharge micro earbuds, on sale on Lazada for 250 THB. But, as always, product quality is in the eye of the marketing designer (and not necessarily the actual product). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I bought JBL C150si on Lazada 2 years ago for about 250 baht and they have been excellent and still use for my desktop computer - very good sound and comfortable. Now see most Lazada sellers want more than 1,000 baht. More reasonable prices on Shopee with below at 311 baht. https://shopee.co.th/ส่งฟรี-หูฟัง-JBL-C150si-แบบ-In-Ear-มีไมค์ในตัว-ของแท้100--i.34947879.1873313208 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indieke Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 If you see what big manufacturers, want to make us buy and at what prices, the earbuds I bought at 7/11 sound unexpectedly great at 140 bht. I got much more expensive one's, they not sound an awful lot better. I bought these in fact to use on the bike, if I need directions, but am enjoying music on them a lot too now....

You might want to check and see if there is an update program for your audio and Bluetooth on either your phone or laptop. My whole condo is set up with Bluetooth from my cell phones, laptop, smart televisions, and Hardn Kardon speakers, as well as my Beats headphones and Samsung Bluetooth earbuds, many pairs, used for listeningto Audible or music when jogging. Never had an issue except when buying a newer unit where the bluetooth programing needed updating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re start the laptop and usually connects, but then sometimes cuts out I know that with windows 10 my mouse will act strange when I hook up a regular blue tooth speaker to it, and sometimes that speaker will cut in and out until I delete them both and re-install them.

Win 10 is where I have all my Bluetooth issues, and if I leave it enabled on a PC or Laptop it will create issues with other nearby Bluetooth enabled device trying to connect. So I've given up on my current PC and laptop setups. Otherwise, other than some transient dropouts, Bluetooth seems to be OK. But just OK. I prefer hard wired connections for cleaner audio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recom273 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I use cheap senheiser earbuds when I ride my bike, they are about 2000B - they last for years. They are comfortable to fit under my helmet and the sound is good enough to listen to music and use GPS for a whole day. i would love a pair of decent Bluetooth headphones, probability the Sony’s (Because I don’t like apple white in my ears) I have no problem paying the price, I think the technology in them is excellent but I wouldnt use them enough to warrant paying the price. If you do some reading on specialist sites you can find chi-fi IEMs that produce a reasonable sound. You can use them as is, but most will chose to hack them by swapping out components. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/best-value-around-100-300-chifi-newcomers-iem-with-reference-list-no-big-brands-here.872245/ Here is my current setup that I use on planes or on the beach.

elgenon Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Apple seems to do well with their Bluetooth. Very popular in the States. So good Bluetooth apparently works. Apple products are not cheap and they do have a high margin but the convenience and ease of My Apple makes up for it for me. Your mileage may vary. Probably not an option for the OP so sorry about that. But there has been a discussion re Bluetooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
