Wireless earbuds

[gregs656]

I am in the process of returning a pair of Anker Soundcore Spirit Sport as although the sound quality is fine the mic either wasn't working properly or was crap.

Looking for a pair of small in ear wireless earbuds, they don't have to be totally wireless but I don't want a full on neckband.

I liked everything about the Ankers apart from the mic.

I am tempted to try another pair, but any other suggestions around the same money?

Not an answer but I had a query with Anker over a BT speaker. E-mailed and had a bit of a discussion with a lovely customer service agent. It centred on a flashing light and what it meant. She thought it was an issue and sent me another speaker FOC, I could keep the 'faulty' one.

Turned out it was a dodgy charging cable. So now I have two usable speakers.

Moral: send a nice polite e-mail to Anker pointing out you may have an issue. With a bit of luck you'll get a decent replacement or if it is a spec issue you may get another set you can sell on to offset the cost of a different brand.

I really like my Jabra Elite 65t, but the mic isn't great. It works fine sitting at my desk but out and about I get complaints from the person I am speaking to about wind noise etc.

I already have a fully wireless set which I am happy with - Sony's - I just want a cheap pair with long battery life for making calls and a bit of music occasionally.

I have heard the Anker customer service is pretty good, and the (hundreds and hundreds) of reviews on amazon don't make any complaint about this so I am wondering if I got a dodgy pair, my friend said it was like the mic was picking up everything but me so I wonder if the noise cancelling part of it was messed up and prioritising the wrong sounds.

I have a pair of RHA MA390 wireless which are very good. Occasionally people say that I'm a bit quiet when on a call but they can still hear me. The sound quality is superb.

I have the Ankers, you're right, the mic isn't great. So I got the Bose SoundSport's, which are much better. Although the out of ear part is rather large.

I have some QCY T1's from aliexpress, paid about £9 for them and wasn't expecting much but they are pretty good.

I ordered a pair of Mpow S11s yesterday. Should be here today.

Tried the S11s on a few calls and they are much better than the Ankers which I think were faulty so these will be staying.

The whole package is decent quality for the money - a number of different size ear buds, little zip up case, USB cable, nice packaging etc etc
