Before I start, I was actually looking for some general Earbud type thread but didn't really fine one hence me posting this separately.
I'm genuinely curious about something and I'd really be interested to hear (no pun intended) if anyone has done such a comparison.
Simply out of curiosity a couple of months ago I purchased a set of stupidly cheap earbuds from Amazon.
So cheap that I felt that even if they actually work at all I'd be shocked!
Amazon product ASIN B0983Q7CRJ
They were on a one day sale at £9.98
So in reality simply bought to see what I'd get.
I'll have to admit, since buying them I'm totally shocked at how good they are sound wise.
You need to be sure they are nicely seated in your ear for the bass, which I'm guessing if the case with all earbuds (have to fit nicely)
They pair easy, battery seems to last ages, sound quality seems shockingly good.
So here is my main question I guess.
Let's put to one side all the "extras niceties" when it comes to these type of devices such as: Pass thru mode, Water resistance, Noise cancellation, and similar bits which models 10 or 20 time more expensice offer.
I'm curious just how much better in simple audio quality terms a high end set of ear buds actually will be.
I'd love to buy some £150+ buds and see how they compare (don't want to spend that much) but right now I'm struggling to see how they would sound THAT much better for simple sound quality.
Has anyone done such a comparison?
By the way I did buy another cheap set which looked like Apple copies but they have little bass due to how they sit in your ear.
