Hello everyone. A friend of mine wants to buy an earphone exclusively for podcasts, TV shows and movies. He'll use it heavily for voice calls as well so a great mic (not expecting too much) would be helpful. 1000 +/- 100 is his budget. He has some boat TWS but due to long calls and usage, the battery is bad. Any suggestions or offers, please let me know. Comfort>Mic>Sound is his preference. Not so much music as he's got something else for that.

Thanks in advance and have a good day folks! :)

My friend is willing to buy a pair of Samsung Live TWS as well. Or a cheap DAC, whichever works. Thanks in advance.

Usb c dac depends on which phone ur friend is using as some phone have built in dac and just need a usb pass through. Oneplus bullets are available for 1300 rs if u can stretch ur budget

Moondrop Quarks DSP. But cant say for sure if they are available now to buy. I used them for 8months and recently sold them here on TE.

I had some quite some research on it and got the Samsung AKG Type-C IC100. Works with my iPhone, Android tablet and laptop. Price may vary but it is possible to get it around 1.2-1.3k under offers. Use it for office calls and does the job well as long as there are not too many people shouting around you. The audio quality is decent for the price.

Earpods don't work well with other devices and the other brands have really poor microphones as well as questionable build quality.

TWS is not worth it for calls, even my XM4 has rubbish mic quality.
