I'm an Idiot, Yamaha TW-E3A Ear Buds
« on: 21 Jul 2024, 02:35 am »
  I purchased these Ear Buds for Sound Quality not feature functions, I gave them a glowing review. Up till now though I haven't been able to reach my desired volume listening levels which is why I had ranked my Huawei EasyClip buds higher in sound quality.
  However I use the Huawei EasyClip mainly with my Samsung A13 Smartphone where they work well for me and are still my go too. The Yamaha I use mainly with my computer PC. Today I discovered my mistake with the Yammies, I had to increase the Master Volume on the computer which I had set to 50%. My God these sound incredible!!! This a good thing as I had purchased two sets of the Yamaha TW-E3A while they were still in stock as this item has been discontinued.

I'm using the Yamahas in conjunction with Voice Meeter app, Equalizer controls are set to bass +3, Med +6, Treble +4 using Amazon Music app with the highest connection speed.  PC I have the Master Volume bumped up to 95% on my i5 computer. :smoke:

Good find and inexpensive. Many people rave about their sub $100. ear buds.
I started with SoundCore at around $80. For now I'm totally content with my Technics EAH-AZ60 but they were retailing for around $200.
Since my nuprime died (and prohibitively expensive to fix) I've been all earbud.
How many buds do you own? Are the Yammies your favourite?

Initially I scoffed at wireless ear buds being in the same audio league as Home Stereo and even Headphones like my Beyerdynamics Custom Studio. But I needed a Bluetooth to answer the phone while driving on my job. Whipping out my Smartphone is like a $500 fine for distracted driving if caught. Before that I was just using the car audio cd player, don't listen to radio.

So I purchased the Yamaha TW-E6A as I trust Yamaha from other products I purchased in the past and the sound quality reviews for these buds were favorable. I was impressed with the sound when I got them but I wasn't able to download the app at first and I wasn't familiar with my Samsung A13 to realize I had an equalizer and sound controls. So I bought the JBL's because I could download the app and they sounded much better than the Yamaha's equalized with their app. They however were not secure enough in my ears so I thought I would try the JBL endurance. These however can't hit the volume I like which is almost max, so I'm disappointed in these because of that. So that is why I purchased the Huawei EasyClips because I needed something more secure in my ears, yet allows me to hear my passengers if I don't have the volume on max, they can go loud enough for me and drown out road noise and passengers.
  As a result the Yamaha's are delegated to home use and PC and although they sound good I was contemplating getting buds that I could reach my desired volume level and here I discovered all I had to do was increase the Master volume. I bought 2 units as I was preparing for having these several years into retirement, since I don't know how long the battery will last but I expect 5 years.

The JBL 130NC for some reason I could not get to work on my PC. Huawei EasyClip work good but bass is slightly leaner than the Yamaha TW-E3A using the Voice Meeter app. So to sum up, Wireless Ear Buds IMO can have Audiophile quality sound but need to be equalized to sound great, I find them to be very convenient to wear as I can lay in bed while listening with a neck pillow and have a range of approx. 30 feet without interference so I can be anywhere in the house not tethered by a wire.:smoke:
