Earbuds for office calls

Right now I am using wireless headphones (Jabra Evolve 75) provided by my office; although it works great, especially the active noise cancellation, however I find it a bit uncomfortable for long time use (ears start paining as it’s an on-the-ear type). So I am planning to get a decent wireless earbud which should have a good noise cancellation and doesn’t emit my background noise to the listeners on the other side of the call. Budget can be till 4-5K, provided the features are at par (active noise cancellation, low latency, etc.); Not focused on songs/movies, so not looking for features like bass and all, just focused on calls quality.

The Evolve 75 has ANC and it works really great. The other one that I had previously was Evolve 65, and that has PNC (passive) and that wasn’t anywhere near this one. Hence looking for a wireless earbud having a decent ANC for calls.

If using Samsung devices, then their buds are fairly good.

Albeit it might need to be picked in the seconds market, to fit the price range.

Some previous versions might make it to the budgeted range with offers.


JVC’s HA-A50T which I tried few months back were above average in blocking out one’s background to others.

But it too has its pitfalls.

However, got reminded of them as you mention discomfort versus ease of prolonged use.

And those came with multiple sets of silicon and memory foam cushions.

But in-ear discomfort, uneasiness is really subjective.

I once had some amazing Sony ones, but had to ditch them for the same reason, when i switched temporarily to the Philips ones (without ANC) just because it was less cumbersome to use them for a couple of hours.‏‏

Only AirPods provide good call quality. I have tried 6-7 different brands for phone call, the microphone does not work

As you said, your main focus is only on calls, Get Airpods if you are into Apple ecosystem.. if you are into Android, get Samsung Buds plus or later (Don't get the first gen, I dont think they are selling them either way..)

I was on the same train around couple of years back.. I used Oneplus Wireless Neckband, Some Ear buds, Realme Neckband.. 

My friends have this Realme Earbuds as well

Main problems with Cheap Earbuds is background noise.. your microphone catches all the background noise and the person on the other side will hear it more.. I faced this and started using wired buds for few days, but later took Realme wireless 2 for the convenience of Bluetooth during calls and Battery.. This is kind of ok with calls..

My budget was low, so could not take Airpods or Samsung buds 2.. 

You may check Wireless Earbuds reviews on The Verge YouTube channel, Becca does this background noise check using some different methods.. This may help..

@sb584012 @chota_chattri Apple AirPods and Samsung Buds are way out of my budget, itne ameer bhi nahi hai Bhai XD

I think I will checkout Realme Buds Air 3, it has ANC and the ratings are decent (especially for the ANC part); will see some reviews and then decide.

I went for a neckband (OP Z2) after giving a lot of thought since neckbands have a much better call quality compared to wireless buds. So far, all good with my purchase.
