Hi List,
I don't normally reply to threads seeking recommendations for speakers or headsets since rating these items are so subjective. But since several on this list are using the Tribit MaxSound Plus Bluetooth speaker and since I've had a good experience with my recent purchase of the Tribit FlyBuds C2 wireless Bluetooth earbuds, I thought I'd make an exception. First of all, I need to emphasize that I don't like earbuds with removable ear tips preferring instead the fit of the original wired Apple Earpods and the first and second generation Apple Airpods. These Tribit FlyBuds C2 earbuds fit like the original Apple Earpods/Airpods and don't have removable ear tips. The other thing I like about this fit is I can hear what's playing very well but also can hear ambient sound while using these. The other thing I should mention is that even though I have a pair of second generation Apple Bluetooth Airpods, I bought the Tribit FlyBuds because as a previous Tribit customer, I received a 50% off introductory discount and got them for only $39 USD. Their retail price is $79. I am very pleased with the sound of BARD books and music using the Tribit FlyBuds. I am by no means an audiophile so if you consider yourself an audiophile, I'd suggest you quit reading and prepare to pay considerably more for your audio selections. I do notice a very slight lag when typing on my iPhone 13 Mini using the Tribit FlyBuds as compared with the Apple Airpods and I also notice that Siri doesn't sound as good with the FlyBuds versus the Airpods. However, considering the cost differential, these differences would not be deal breakers in my opinion. The FlyBuds have a much better battery life than the second generation Airpods and they also have many more touch controls including the ability to start/stop playback, answer calls, reject incoming calls, skip to the next track, and summon Siri. Finally, they recharge using a USB C connector. A USB cable is provided containing a type A male USB connector on one end and a type C male USB connector on the other end. And with the exception of Siri, their sound quality for books and music sound as good to me as the Apple Airpods.
