Hi I am Rupesh from India and I have purchased android 13 smartphone called One Plus Nord CE 3 which has Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 G processor and 8 GB Ram. Most of the time I use my phone to listen music. Previously before buying one plus I have used LG G7 Plus Thinq which has Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 cpu and hifi quad DAC and aux port. The new One Plus Phone doesn't have aux port.

Listening music in LG G7 Plus Thinq was very nice because it has quad DAC and aux port. There's no chance of degrade in the output through earphones.

But at present I have One Plus Nord CE 3 which came with Android 13 and I have upgraded to Android 14 but unfortunately it doesn't have aux port and so if I want to connect earphones I must use type c adapter. I have brought a low price type c adapter and connected earphones through it. The quality of the output is lower than the one which I got while using LG G7 Plus Thinq.

So I searched for other ways and found Bluetooth tws and so I have brought realme buds air 3 neo. The quality of the output is still lower than the one which I got while using LG G7 Plus Thinq.

Yesterday one of my friend gifted me Bluetooth tws called apple air buds pro 1st generation which was manufactured in 2019 and connected to my one plus Nord ce 3. Actually I have connected the same apple air buds pro in my neighbour apple iPhone and the output is greater than the one which I got while using LG G7 Plus Thinq.

When I connect the same apple air buds pro in my present Android 14 one plus Nord ce 3 the output is not the same as I got in apple iPhone.

In apple iPhone I have seen some settings such as spatial audio but I can't find such settings in my present Android 14 one plus Nord ce 3.

Another issue is both realme buds air 3 Neo and apple air buds pro are by default using AAC codec with 16 bit depth but my phone supports Qualcomm aptx, LDAC, AAC and other three options with bit depths 16, 24, 32 etc.,.

I think that there's no proper support or configuration for apple air buds pro in Android smartphone. But there is full support for apple air buds in all apple devices like iPhone, iPod, iMac etc.,.

At present I have both Bluetooth tws systems Apple Air Buds Pro and Realme Buds Air 3 Neo and so which is the best one among the two.

If you think listening music through earphones and type c adapter may I know which is the best low price type c adapter. Here I have high resolution dual dynamic mi earphones.

If you think apple air buds pro is the best choice is there any way to configure them like selecting Spatial surround sound, Dolby Atmos etc.,. I have used androbuds app but I am not satisfied. Is there any app to configure apple air buds pro better in Android 14.

Is there any way to force all Bluetooth tws systems to use Qualcomm aptx because it provides output with high quality. Is there any way to select the bit depth higher than 16 bit in AAC mode.

Any links or documents for the newcomer like me regarding Bluetooth tws systems are helpful.

As I am newcomer I have expressed my thoughts which may be wrong.

Kindly suggest which is the best way to listen music on Android 14 smartphone which doesn't have aux port. I mean is it preferable to use earphones through type c adapter or use any Bluetooth tws buds.

Regards,
Rupesh.

The market is flooded with wireless earbuds, and a lot of them are really good. It'd help to know your general budget.

I have a few pairs of good earbuds. The Technics EAH-AZ80-K have awesome sound and noise cancelling, but it goes for $300: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/techni...black/6549408.p?skuId=6549408&utm_source=feed. I also have Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2, which run for $130: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFY1978H?from=website. These also have really good sound and moderately good noise cancelling.

Keep in mind that some earbuds may require an app to use LDAC or other codecs. In order to use LDAC on my Edifiers, I have to use the Edifier app on my phone to make that switch. So see if Realme offers an app to adjust settings for the earbuds.

And, if you don't mind wearing over-the-ear, or on-the-ear headphones, there's lots of great, lower-priced on & over-the-ear Bluetooth Hi-Def wireless headphones, with LDAC + etc, which have fabulous sound quality, plus ANC noise cancelling, of which are very affordable, such as the Anker Soundcore Q35 BT Hi-Def wireless headphones (w/LDAC, 40 hours playtime, 'Hybrid ANC', AI-Enhanced calls, Smart Wearing Detection &c &c) – that were selling for just $75 (typ: $119./$109) on amazon last month.

Someone suggested to try apple usbc dongle and mi dual dynamic earphones.

You are experts in listening music through advanced audio devices but I am newcomer and so I asked several questions but I will follow sincerely what you said and select the proper device.

Yesterday I have tried to recharge apple air buds pro and waited upto 85 minutes but I have not seen any indication in apple air buds charging case that the device is fully charged. How much time does it take to recharge the apple buds air pro to 100 percent.

Hi someone said that inorder to spatial audio work Android smartphone must support Dolby Atmos.

Yes my smartphone has Dolby Atmos and it's enabled.

I have installed power amp Equalizer which provides presets like rock, soft, pop, soft bass, bass etc.,.

Is it possible to run Dolby Atmos and power amp Equalizer at the same time.

Dolby Atmos do not have any presets which power amp Equalizer has and so I have installed power amp Equalizer.

Another interesting thing is that power amp Equalizer has presets like Apple AirPods (Rtings earbud), Air buds (Inner Fidelity in-ear) etc.,.

What does Rtings earbud and Inner Fidelity in-ear mean and is there any relationship between those presets and apple air buds pro.

Hi is there any usb type c to 3.5 mm aux with quad dac.


Someone from doom9 forums suggested that using Equalizers and Dolby Atmos is of no use at any time whether listening music through dac and earphones or through Bluetooth TWS systems.

I will check it weather it is true or not.

Hi I have ordered realme buds air 5 pro TWS which supports LDAC and Bluetooth 5.3 and high resolution audio.

This product has LDAC and costs low price than all other Bluetooth TWS systems.
