I'm curious about these but I am in the unfortunate situation of owning a Samsung phone. These phones don't support the aptx-hd bluetooth profile that provides improved audio quality (unless you root). The Shures also lack LDAC which is Sony's proprietary improved bluetooth Codec.

Any suggestions for a decent quality compact set? I got the Aonic 5 but even having the deal with cables has been an awful blast to the past.
It does sound amazing plugged into my home setup though

Sony donated the LDAC implementation to AOSP. It's part of Android 8 and up. Nothing to do with Samsung.Georgios21 wrote: ↑ I'm curious about these but I am in the unfortunate situation of owning a Samsung phone.

Grab a BTR5 as well...plus a short balanced mmcx cable. Then you can just have the BRT5 clipped to the back of your collar.makingbaconpancakes wrote: ↑ Any suggestions for a decent quality compact set? I got the Aonic 5 but even having the deal with cables has been an awful blast to the past.

Bluetooth is a good idea but the technology is far from perfect.

I was in the same situation with the first gen BT cord. Complete garbage particularly given the price. I called Shure and they replaced it with the RMCE-BT2. The BT2 is also on sale right now on the Shure US site for US$49.fatestkid wrote: ↑ I'm curious if Shures new Bluetooth headphones will deliver. I have owned a few 2, 3 and 5 series. By far my favorite IEMs due to the amazing passive seal.
I have their first gen Bluetooth cord and it's garbage with the SE215. Connection is weak, volume is low and sound quality is much worse than a wired SE215.

I have the ER3XR, have not used them much but a warning would be they require to really go deep in-ear which I find a tad annoying. I prefer my IEMs more "over the ear". Currently I really like:

I'm a sucker for these cheap headphones, will probably pick up a pair.Poutinesauce wrote: ↑
Or if you have almost no money, for $23 USD on AliExpress, the Blon BL-03 are excellent, with killer bass and a fun sound. Best price/performance ratio by far.

There is actually a Blon BL-05 from this year as the BL-03 is from 2019, but most people agree that the BL-05 is a flop and not as good as the BL-03. So it's better just avoided.

Thank you! Your comment encouraged me to contact them and they agreed to replace it but it's not clear whether I'll get BT1 or BT2.

Hi,
Can someone explain to a layman like me what is special about this and why it is expensive? This is just for research purpose.

I hear you but that isn't what I was saying. Samsung supports LDAC but doesn't support APTX-HD. It's Shure that doesn't support LDAC (last I checked). Also.. my bad I saw the OP and thought this was for shure's new wireless AONIC buds. These buds are cabled.

Are these magical or something?FARMERBLANCHE wrote: ↑ Those are what I use
Highly recommend them if you can justify them
Also yes I do use them with my old s9+ with just the built in DAC when I use to take the train. I'm serious when I say I don't hear a f@$king thing outside on volume 4 or higher. Unbelievable.
