We want oppo enco m31 back with better battery life 🙂

[@sigmamale3115]

Yupe bro...its good in every aspect.....❤

[@vishalpant7507]

And better build too

[@rohankaranjkar2813]

Yes

[@oldrafiki1536]

Isn't enco m32 good?

[@arpannaskar5758]

@@oldrafiki1536 nope I used it it has more bass but mids trible imaging not good🥲 that's why waiting for m31 true successor

[@tamilkazhian4912]

Is there an option to power off the neckband completely? So that it doesn’t power on if the magnets separate.

[@varalevel6243]

Bro oppo enco air 3 pro or one plus buds 3 which is best pls clarify this

[@rraviranjan1]

I bought oppo enco m32 2.5 years back and the reason I don't buy others neckband in this category bcoz of sound quality. It has perfect balancing of bass, vocals, instruments etc. it doesn't give you punchy bass but delivers what's required at what time. It may not have special features like app support, spatial audio, latency but it fulfilled my expectations. I love it's sound too much. Thanks to oppo for such a wonderful product

[@keshriking333]

Same story!! But I accidentally broke one bud, now I'm searching something similar.

[@vikram_o99]

Wait for m33 in may be August or September bro​@@keshriking333

[@savajmilap4703]

What's about buds by CMF there is same situation ??

[@Arnab_Saha_0]

I was really looking forward to buy the cmf neckband beacuse of it's good ANC...all other yt videos suggested that it has good sound..i was waiting for you to review it, now i know about the compromised sound signature...I'll settle for the realme buds wireless 3

[@zakengalsulkar5778]

Ershaad will wavelet be enough to solve the problem?

[@shehineyy3508]

Can you do a 2024 review of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro? After all these updates to that TWS is it still as good as it released? I saw so many posts regarding Samsung screwing the sound with updates.

[@tusharnaskar7428]

Please make a comparison of these two with Realme Buds Wireless 3

[@shankhadipsarkar6913]

Ye bass is hevy I don't like I need ballanced sound which one I should buy please tell me

[@techblizmax9660]

6:00 The Ear 2 was tuned by DMS for the Harman target V shape curve so that's obviously going to pull wayyyyy ahead.

can you please make a review of cmf buds which was released with this product...!

[@princemondal16]

Is realme buds wireless 3 better than the OnePlus buds Z2 ANC ?

Why don't you compare with realme wireless 3?

[@vishwassingh6360]

Is there a way i can repair my enco m31?

[@elavarasandinesh2698]

Hey Ershad there is a mistake in 1:22 the CMF doesn't actually pause the song it disconnects from the connected device .

[@AbcXyz-lk6sh]

Same with wired too. I had a sennheiser cx 180 and its discontinued now. I tried audiotech ath clr 100 and jbl earphones too, but they are not close to that of cx 180. Wanna try an iem that would sound similar to cx 180, but kinda confused, too many options

[@athar_dev]

can you suggest good wired earphones?

[@SpaceTimeBeing_]

Please compare the audio quality of cmf earbuds with other some wireless buds

[@Evil_weeivle]

Great review bro But it would have been so great if you have included the realme buds wireless 3

[@balajiks2k]

Your reviews in both languages are awesome. Regarding the neckbands, most of us use it for music. My suggestion, if the music sounds bad, there is no need to discuss on other features of the neckband. one request, please inform us if the headphones are made for hi res music (certified). 99% of reviewers miss out the hi res part.

[@NaughtyAndhraGuy]

Your comparison should have been with Realme Neckband 3. Don't always bring Oneplus into the foray for every comparo?

[@vishwasvishwas8723]

Yeah bro 😊

[@PrajwalNewarePN]

Yeah bro... He always brings oneplus in comparison and somehow proves that OnePlus is better

[@sreenivasagupta5174]

Carl bhai / carl pei you should roll out an update for cmf neckband pro and improve the sound quality & latency in game mode by a lot so much that ershad should make another video of improvement.

[@bhadoriyaadityasinh4707]

I am Blessed because i have the OG Oppo Enco M31 , thanks for recommending that Ershad

[@sg-xj4hw]

Surprised the enco line up is so underrated and not talked about enough. If you look at audio quality it is hands down way better than oneplus and realme offerings

[@aakkhhii]

M31 still working? My m32 cable degraded and broke.

[@bhadoriyaadityasinh4707]

@@aakkhhii yep bro i clean them daily plus i bought a good cover for them and soon as i am done using them i put them into box and the box in study drawer. A little while ago their wire was slowly coming out from earbuds part from downside so took them to service centre and they said that this can not be reversed so i just slightly put pushed them inside and apllied a little bit of mseal resin mix on both side and they are just immortal now they will last as long as the battery malfunctions or the IC goes out otherwise they are as good sounding as day one i boought them when they launched so i guess it is 2 or 3 years ago. yeah i can say that battery is decreased to something like 80% or so but yeah still perfect.

please make a video on realme wireless 3

[@sv6180]

I bough kz castor bass edition a month ago , now i cant go back to any other earphones , much better than realme buds air 5 pro and buds z2 in terms of sound quality. Wired IEMs costs soo less but sounds much better than most wireless earphones .

[@oldrafiki1536]

Isn't enco m32 good ?

[@mmanoo]

Thank you Ershad for this impressive review which makes one to take a clear decision based on your SWOT analysis so keep the great job going

[@dpg2172]

Need review of cmf buds as well at earliest.

[@pransarkar56]

Ershad should review Moondrop's latest TWS that's making some buzz from what I've heard. And I want to try them too. But it'd be great if an Indian audiophile recommends it.

[@jonathanlloyd2652]

Realme Buds WIreless 3 should have also been included with this comparison. Please make videos with wide variety of products.

[@shreyasjohare]

I've been using the Neckband pro for 18 days now and straight out of the box, I was disheartened after listening to music, because my ears were hurting with the bass, but after using it for a week, (only taking calls on it) burn-in was complete, and O man, I love the sound, the bass is now balanced and I'm loving the sound signature. It's a great purchase.

[@nithitech3698]

I'm hearing this video's audio in cmf neckband pro. yes the same product you are reviweing rightnow in this video. Ita been a while since i brought this product and jus fall in love with the design and the features it has 🥰

[@MovieExplainerMalayalam]

If u use cmf neckband in a train or railway station for call then u r fucked... The other person hears every sound including people walk murmurs, announcement except your voice. Same issue if u are sending voice message in whatsapp in the same condition.

[@rajgopalrajuramapuram1261]

Charging??...

[@johanjoe3012]

Update for one's thinking of buying the cmf now, go for it, after 2 or 3 updates it's sound quality has become as good if not better than the realme. Cmf has done the tuning well now. The spatial sorround has also improved but still not worth using Now only disadvantage is the latency and gaming mode. And gaming mode can only be activated from app

[@saiki4116]

I have the band. Sound is terrible and agree with every point in this review. Coming from Oppo enco neck band which is on it's last leg, this is major disappointement. Battery life seems to be good, I am yet to drain it completely even once. It's not comfortable to wear(depends on your shapre), I wasn't able to go for more than hour before my ear hurts.

Ohh man why would you say that word RHA!!!. I miss those 750's badly. If possible please bring up some alternatives that you find good enough similar to RHA's. Most of the time your audio product reviews are a GO for me. Say for that matter, oppo ecno air 2 pro was a good pick from your videos and they are still good.

[@kartikbvora]

It is based heavy, but the Equalizer settings in the app provides a very good control. Turn off the ultra bass option, and reduce the base by a couple of points, you will get a much better output. It is not that bad, man!

[@TrakinTechEnglish]

I respect your opinion. But, it is badly tuned. I've clearly mentioned in my review that I EQ-ed it. So, my experience doesn't change until they issue a new firmware to improve the quality.

[@notar1yan.p]

Yeah but they just got a firmware update and the tuning is way better They feel more balanced

Listening to this on my CMF Neckband Pro. Yes, the sound is bass heavy, especially when ANC is on. I leave it off, and then I can live with it. I am using this after my Oppo Enco M32, and I'm decently happy with it. And really as Ershad said, Neckband users should not be treated as 2nd class citizens.. I'd be willing to pay more for a good sounding neckband.

TWS trend is really screwing the neckband market. All the audio and smartphone brands are focused on tws and other audio stuff and necbands are only supported by shitty brands like boat, noise, boult audio.. only oneplus seems sort of interested. I still prefer neckband bcoz tws are a headache as i constantly worry of them falling in water or on road..

[@utsavpatel88]

Old buds wireless 3 cable got broken and went for cmf , corrected the mistake by returning it and went for new buds wireless 3. The sound output sucks on cmf compare to realme. It is not even 50% of the realme. We have to keep full volume on open surroundings. Realme is garibo ka "Bose" in every aspect.
