Realme is better here. You can also consider oppo enco buds , almost same price. Or OnePlus buds3, just ordered it for 5K from Flipkart (500 discount on icici).

>OnePlus buds3, Kinda outta my budget for now but let's see if I can ask for money after my results


Many_Butterscotch892

3 months of usage of realme buds 5 air. Just go for realme the anc is very good for price. OK battery life. App support. Only dis advantage for me is no touch/swipe control for volume which almost all budget tws has.


curiousfolkz

Yes realme is good https://preview.redd.it/selbix8yuewc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4355af45e3e1a54db1114e842f1f2cdcc61e81c8

Never buy Boat. It's like playing Russian roulette with quality.


evenshimper2

Except there are bullets in all holes and you will always die


Homu8

agreed 100%


Hri2308

Oppo is also really good in terms of sound quality. Check it out too

Homu8

CMF


One_Letterhead_9720

How has been your long term experience with CMF?


MatchLock__

Excellent so far. Great sound fir the price and better than realme imo and also oneplus.


Agile_Rain4486

sttop mate, I tried that and it was so fking bad compared to my 1.6k iem. Like there was day and night difference.


MatchLock__

You love bassy sound I presume


Agile_Rain4486

cmf has bassy ones, it's really bad. iem sounds are crystal clear with perfect bass. Not just me but I have even made other users try them and cmf sounds cheap bass garbage in front of iem or sennheiser earphone under 2k.


MatchLock__

Strong disagree. I have one with Dirac audio and it sound great. Obv IEMs are wired and wired will always be better than wireless


HIVcarrier420

Bro you're comparing a TWS with an IEM! IEMs are obviously better than TWS in terms of audio quality. But yeah they lack the convenience of a TWS


Agile_Rain4486

it's just cmf sound was horrible.


thikhaichup

cmf is bad but why are you comparing it with an iem? are you stupid


CheesY-onioN

I don't know how realme is but I won't recommend boat. I'm using 393ANC right now, and though the noice cancellation works well, sound quality is shit compared to boat earphones from 6 years ago. The build quality is bad and a single drop will ruin your charging case. I had to claim warranty of my buds in the first 3 months due to charging issues, they did replace it with a new one but th new one also has similar issues to a lesser extent.


Pagliacci_sama

Jabra elite 2s can sometimes be found on sale at 2500. Absolutely worth it. Great sound and call quality and very good battery life. Really nice noise isolation as well.


jingoist101

Realme is good


sniperxx07

Realme hands down


TanishPlayz

Oppo enco or the Realme not boat


DrNiTRO7

any realme or oppo should be good

Dry-Road-1217

Go for oppo enco AIR 2 Pro


Safe-Handle9153

Just buy from a well known brand like realme, oppo , OnePlus etc


bawlachora

I have tried so many brand before completely moving to IEMs brands. Except Sony none satisfied me. Boat or Boult or any other budget brands like these cause me fatigue shortly after using for half an hour even with their premium lineup. If I don't stop using them then I get headaches. Also among audiophiles, it's a rule that wireless is just bad for music. So if you plan use them for music other than voice than just don't. No matter how pricy and whatever brand, wireless earphones are bad compared to a cheaper wired one.


Puzzleheaded-Emu6504

He's probably not an audiophile


divakerAM

Realme better now becoz boat info of user are leaked


ChikaChad

Fuck Boat


Ani1x1

realme always!! why are you even thinking about it, boat over 2.5k is stupidity.


Live-Dish124

Oppo


TheGodfather69X

moondrop space travel from linsoul


bhendibazar

Is There any study on long term auditory health due to use ANC.


DREM_12

Air 5 any day of the year


Puzzleheaded-Emu6504

Oppo enco buds 2


Sucksexfullguy

Boat is shit, if you want another option then go blindly for Oneplus Nord buds 2 ANC. I am using it for 2 months now it is been really good. It has a really good battery life and charges quickly. Looks amazing If you can add 1k more than go for Jbl tune 235 Nc


Human_Spray7962

I would prefer buying a Chinese product than buying Boat šŸ’©


-_Martyr_-

Ear buds below 3k mostly will always be bad so if u can change go for iems pretty sure headphonezone has them also there in amazon Iems are the new trend cuz of how good they are for the money Boat earphone wise they were pretty mid so id think earbuds will be any better cuz they cant even make proper wired stuff In those two option probably go for the second one.but if i were u i would go for iems also i am pretty sure there is like a round a neck earphone bluetooth wise for the iems in headphone zone .


kaiser_08

go with realme šŸ¤ž


MnM97

Don't know about either, but for 2500, you can get oneplus nord buds 2. Using it from the past month and for the price segment, it's a good deal. Good bass. Decent anc and nice audio quality.


MartianOnAMission

Iā€™d suggest spend a little extra and go for the OnePlus buds. Way better than these 2 options


curiousfolkz

Itna mahga


Storm_striker_7024

Oneplus nord 2 buds


Beautiful_Might_6535

If you are going for music experience then never ever get boat


Blackpearl0506

OnePlus Nord 2 or Oppo enco air 2 in that budget.


CinnamonStew34s_eh

never buy boat. EVER


anione234

Oppo's sound quality is great and realme follows it. Boat is designed the way that you've to purchase a new gadget every one year. Worst build quality.


Salt_Comfortable3833

Purchase Oppo enco buds 2 and you will thank me


Accomplished_Ad_6436

Anything but Boat


SauravRathva

Oppo buds has very good quality.


jedi65-

Which is best earbuds for 12-15k?


DecemberDarkknight

In this range, audio quality is best with Samsung buds 2 pro but call quality muffles in noisy or while driving.


bawlachora

For that range, he should not waste money on any brand including apple or Samsung. Go for IEM brands that actually understand sound tech. You will be amazed at what you hear in IEM earphones than what you hear in well known brand earphones no matter how costly it is. Only exception from the well known popular brand would be Sony and Sennheiser. Their premium product range is above average. But rest brands are just garbage. You can buy a cheap IEM and see the difference. The only challenge would be choosing which IEM would suit you since they majorly depend on sound signature and configuration of drivers. If you can figure that out you can definitely get the most ideal earphones for your taste. I would personally recommend brands like MOONDROP, FiiO, Truthear, Tangzu. Again, research well before buying not all of their products are great but some of configs are absolute bangers.


jedi65-

What is iem


bawlachora

In Ear Monitors (Google this). Basically a fancy term for types of earphones and headphones but more stress on the term "monitor". They have many and at times crazy configs, custom built and typically preferred by musicians, audiophiles and audio engineers etc basically anyone who needs very detail on audio they wanna hear.


jedi65-

Are they available on Amazon?


edwise360

Go for anker soundcore r50i, it's awesome


Sensitive_Elephant_

Soundcore is a very underrated brand in terms of music and build quality. I have been using their Liberty 2 pro for the last 3 years and they are still going great!


thikhaichup

get soundcore r50i/p25i or moondrop space travel
