Hi everyone, I’m trying to pick the best TWS earbuds under ₹10,000 in India, and I’d really appreciate opinions from people who’ve actually used these. I’ve done quite a bit of research, but I want real-world input before pulling the trigger. # 📱 My Devices I use **two devices daily and simultaneously**: * **Samsung Galaxy S24** (Android) * **MacBook Pro M4** (macOS) 👉 Multipoint can be added advantage to switch b/w devices # 🎯 My Usage (Ranked by Priority) 1️⃣ **Calls** * Zoom / Slack huddles on MacBook * Regular phone calls on S24 * Need good ANC + ENC and Mic performance - I work from home 2️⃣ **Music** Genres: * Ilayaraja (80s–90s orchestral Indian film music) * AR Rahman (layered, complex arrangements) * Modern Indian tracks * Almost no EDM or metal, but would love some good bass for fun What I prefer: * Clean mids (vocals are important) * Great bass (no muddy bleed) * Good instrument separation * Non-fatiguing highs * Good soundstage 3️⃣ YouTube / casual media 4️⃣ Occasional FLAC (not critical) # ✅ Must-Haves * Good **ANC** * Strong **mic + ENC for calls** * AAC support (for macOS) * Comfortable for 2–4 hour sessions # 💰 Budget * ₹5K – ₹10K * Available in India (Amazon, Flipkart, theaudiostore, etc.) # 🎧 Models I’m Currently Considering (You can suggest better ones) # 1. OnePlus Buds 4 # 2. Sony WF-C710N # 3. JBL Live Pro 2 # 4. Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE # ❓What I Want to Know * Which of these has the **best real-world call quality**? * Which sounds best for Indian film music / vocal clarity and with good bass for fun ? * Is there any other underrated option under ₹10K I’m missing? Thanks in advance 🙌

I just lost my Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (top of the line when I bought them some years ago). Love them, especially for the ANC. I put them on, and I was like, in another world. So sad. Now I don't have the means to shell out $300 again for the QC 2 Ultra or whatever the newest model is. Looking for alternatives for "under $100", found out that the technology of $100 earbuds and the real world difference in ANC performance is there obviously, but it's not that big of a difference. I'm about to buy a new pair (OnePlus Buds 4 - $100) and realized that some of the features are "better" than my old Bose. Even if maybe the ANC is not the same, I get new stuff, features, Bluetooth versions and other small stuff, that if you shell a lot for the "top of the line" are going to get "old" with the passing of time. So maybe I can start buying new earbuds for $100 every couple of years and not shell out $300 every time.
