    Aliexpress.com - Feedback Thread

    Yes, the last China Post order took less than 10 days in fact.

    Best TWS for calls?

    I use my Samsung AKG IC100 Type C for work calls without complaints. My Sony XM4 were unusable for the same. Otherwise, full-fledged headphones with or without the boom mic work well, but that is of course not that portable.

    Aliexpress.com - Feedback Thread

    Been ordering from eBay every month, nothing to report because all items were delivered within 2 weeks, including those sent using China Registered Post which used to take 2 months in another era.

    Best TWS for calls?

    From a mic perspective, I have seen EarFun Air Pro 3 being recommended because of the stem design. I think it uses the standard Qualcomm BT 5.3 chipset so does well in terms of mic, connectivity and ANC but the DAC itself is probably not that great. I used to find neckbands inconvenient when...

    How is sahivalue.com ?

    I suppose this is from another thread because of the missing context, but from a buyer perspective, it is quite horrible. They are known to modify the internals and somehow sell it off while refusing future service.

    Best TWS for calls?

    Having used half a dozen TWS buds, including those costing 10k+, none have a mic that can be used in a professional setting. You need a fully sealed room with noise isolation to get anywhere close to wired mic performance. Even 1-1.5k USB-C earphones have better sounding mics. If it is for...

    PC Peripherals What wireless mouse is everyone using and how long have you been using it?

    Decade ago, Logitech was the go-to brand but since they started replacing the Japanese Omron switches with the Chinese ones 4-5 years ago, and reduced the warranty from 3 years for all mice to 1-2 years for most, I decided to no longer support the company as it was a planned obsolescence move...

    Streaming Services Subscription Sharing (Except Netflix)

    Ah yes, I always thought that edit option was to only change the name, good that you can change the age and content restrictions as well. I am topping up my Jio number with this pack. Apart from JioCinema, access to the other 11 OTT apps is via the JioTV app, so not available on TV. If anyone...

    FS: Others Sennheiser PXC 550-II ANC Wireless Headphone | Apple Watch Series 6 GPS 40 mm + Dock | SanDisk Extreme Go 128 GB Pen Drive (~395 MBps) | iOS Smart Tag

    To update, lost the Apple Watch case in public transit during the daily scuffle. So now it is only the watch with its band and the screen protecting film. Updating price to 12k shipped.

    The US sues Apple for monopolistic practices

    I use Google, Apple and Microsoft devices and don't think any is better than the other in terms of their practices. In favour of this, as it will open up the iOS ecosystem a bit in terms of choice. But yeah, Google goes under the radar for most users here because it is seen as an open choice...

    Courier insurance

    Yep, quite pointless.

    Streaming Services Subscription Sharing (Except Netflix)

    The lack of profiles is the only thing keeping me from sharing my JioCinema subscription as otherwise I can do the same.

    The US sues Apple for monopolistic practices

    There has always been alternatives in the phone space, so I don't think we would ever be in an Apple world. Mind you, this is more of a US issue because the iPhone market share is dominant compared to any Android manufacturer, often by buyer's choice. Some of what Apple has been accused of is...

    Other Xiaomi and QC troubles?

    I have a Pad 6 and on the face of it, the build quality looks fine. However, there is a reason it is only IP53 rated because internally, costs have been cut, especially in terms of thermals and sealing. I would probably think thrice before purchasing a Xiaomi phone but in this case, the tablet...

    The US sues Apple for monopolistic practices

    Too little and too late. They let too much power consolidate with FAANG / MAMAA or whatever you want to call it. Apple might not be broken up but Meta, Alphabet, Amazon are prime targets because they control too much of the tech space in a lot of directions.

    Steam Families

    They will not reveal the true check but the intention is that it is really a family using it.

    Steam Families

    A bit like Netflix where you have to be in the same household. Also the developer needs to opt in to share.

    The Amazon Prime Exchange Experience

    Could have purchased an iPhone 15 and enjoyed USB-C under Tim Cook's reign with seamless transfer. ;)

    HDFC x PAYTM Credit Card not recognized as HDFC card in Amazon

    It is the case for most co-branded cards. AmazonPay card doesn't work for ICICI offers on other sites. SBI PayTM card doesn't work for SBI offers on other e-commerce websites. Tata Neu HDFC card used to work on most sites but it is also being ignored by other ecommerce websites. Flipkart Axis...
