    Revolut is a Mastercard

    My one isn't. The paid premium version is Mastercard, the normal one is visa.

    Newer ones are Visa but whichever card you have just add it to PayPal

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    I am pretty sure you could buy same ones on aliexpress for Eur 15. 192 is definitely not it's real price. Also it's better to check top 10 somewhere else, best-reviews.guide looks like crap.

    There are a lot of airpod clones
    These get good reviews

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32975440857.html

    Or if just looking for wireless buds, you could go for the
    Tiso i4/i5(i5 currently OOS) - https://tiso.aliexpress.com/store/group/Headphones/3701003_513498255.html
    Redmi Airdots - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33010115254.html
    and many others

    Or if you want some sort of assurance that might make them less likely to lose them

    Xiaomi Air Dots - My 12 year old uses them all the time and loves them. Great battery life and for under €30 on most sites. Can get on Adverts for 30-40.

    Any recommendations for wireless over ear headphones with a decent microphone? I have regular calls during the day and it'd be nice to have a set that people can hear me on. I keep coming back to the QC35ii but I don't think I'm ready to pay that amount just yet.

    Found these on an Amazon UK directory :
    https://haggleuk.com/product/philips-flite-everlite-shb4805rg-wireless-bluetooth-headphones-with-mic-remote-control-foldable-rose-gold/

    Philips Flite Everlite down to £15.99 from £59.99 (%73 off). Don't know about the sound quality but seems like a nice bargain for a wireless headphone from a good brand.
    I think the normal price for those is around €18 not £59.99/€70.
    No idea what they are like though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,729 ✭✭✭Bawnmore



    They look interesting actually. The don't get a great review on WhatHifi, but they were tested at £250 which would put them up against the like of Bose. Will check them out - thanks.

    They actually seem to get poor review all round unfortunately.

    keep an eye on amazon.es, .de and .it - new price is fluctuating over the last few weeks - at one point they went to €216 on the .es site for a day or so.

    I'm holding out for black friday to see if they will come in under 200 - with the bose 700 out as well, i'm hoping that the will.

    (bose 700 are apparently better for calls, but they are still €370 and upwards)

    I was taking a look at HUKD just there and they weren't far off the 200 mark about a week ago on Amazon.es. Have alerts set up now, but would definitely have gone for that if I'd seen it. Black Friday hopefully.

    Bose 700 is roughly the same as the QCII in terms of noise cancelling and sound quality - but blows it out of the water for mic/calls quality.

    Expensive but well worth it if you want decent NC headphones and you need to take calls in noisy offices/cafes/airports/etc.

    Looks like the 'Tiso i5' is discontinued (not available anymore).

    Tiso i6 touch control wireless earphones seamless switch mini Bluetooth 5.0 headphone noise cancelling Mic 3D TWS stereo headset

    € 21.95 (11/11 ~ € 20.12)

    Edit: - Since posting the non sale price has changed to €60.97

    The cover on the switch on my right i5 earbud, loss its stickiness and came off.
    Earbud still functions fine with it off. Tempted to glue it back on.

    got the redmi airdots and initially were great for a few minutes, now the bluetooth connection is starting to cut out and back in again quite often. Known issue?

    It was general aliexpress coupon, I collect the other day (prior to sale). When I posted on the 9th.

    https://sale.aliexpress.com/__pc/20190328_Select_Coupon.htm

    Navigate around the site and look for ads mentioning coupons/sales.

    Look for this: -

    The Haylou GT2 are down to €15.25 on Aliexpress (€0.78 shipping to Ireland) - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000269060795.html

    The GT1 are well documented, often compared to Xiaomi Airdots and the QCY T2C.
    Battery life has been improved from 12h to 15h, AAC to SBC and they removed the lid of the case. They are also lighter.

    How does this compares with Tiso i6?

    Lets break it down!

    i6: - 31 Hours 500mAh battery covered case
    VS
    gt2: - 15 hours 380mAh built in cable (what happens if that breaks?)

    i6 Touch controls vs gt2 physical button.

    On i6 Dual-mode Bluetooth Connection
    Exclusive customized Airoha 1536 dual-mode Bluetooth 5.0 chip, the earphones are connected to the mobile phone independent, which supports seamless switching technology. Remove or put back the L or R randomly, they can work as well.

    Both offer Noise Cancellation.




    The i5 have great battery life, better than stated, so hopefully these are the same. I happy with my choice of i6 over the gt2.

    I like the look of these. A bit pricier than the QCY/xiaomi true wireless but they have a slightly different design which I'd hope fit better, as the QCY set I got fall out of my ears.
    20% brings them down to £79 around 94eur, but doesn't ship to Ireland so you'd need parcel motel / addresspal

    No idea.
    Just what Corkie pointed out, and just to add a few things..
    They are both relatively new, I think the Haylou tried to improve on previous version, whereas the Tiso seem to be a new bud.
    The Haylou have SBC while the Tiso have AAC.
    There are pros and cons to both codecs and could end up going back to the 'Bluetooth is being forced upon us too early' discussion.
    Both have a few reviews with photos under their product description.
    Haylou
    Tiso

    Won't ship to NI so parcel motel of no use. Not sure what way addresspal works. Have tried to buy a number of different earphones like these recently on amazon but nobody seems to deliver to the Republic or NI either anymore.
