My old ones broke two days ago and I needed new ones. I chose earbuds from NOTHIHG because according to reviews they are really good for the money. Now, their app is asking me to accept this privacy policy. Maybe this policy is just some general place holder for other products because they sell phones too. And they would have browser history there. Or I could use the earbuds without the app. But the default tuning on them is very bass heavy and I need to change that.
I use DNS resolver on my phone with a lot of filters, so this shit will get blocked. I think I will bite the bullet for now but this is probably the last thing I bought from this company.
Why is an app necessary in the first place?
(edit) AH, they went with the classic "it has bass therefore high quality" approach with a little bit of top end sprinkled on. They sure seem to use a lot of post-processing, right after claiming "just how the artist intended". Algorithmic bass boost, equalizer, noise cancellation all running on that tiny little DAC and only usable with the app.
I hate technology so much.
I know I'm a little late with the unsolicited advice, but get a pair of KZ ZSN for $20 and maybe a bluetooth adapter kit, you'll be a lot better off.
Are there any good BT adapters that you know of? And do they have ANC?
Cheap and good ANC? Nah. I really hate saying this, but if you want good wireless with active noise cancelling, consider Apple. The new airpods are said to be the best.
Otherwise, try in-ear monitors, and try getting large silicone ear dinguses that performers use during concerts.
Well, I never mentioned cheap, I was mainly wondering about a Bluetooth adapter that I can use for wired headphones I already have, and I was wondering if there is an option for the bt to have ANC? But I would never buy apple, as they are the one of biggest culprits of planned obsolescence.
