I have a 2 year old TWS - the Realme Buds Air 3.
It is exactly 2 years old since I bought it.
While the case and left earbud are fine, the right earbud refuses to charge. I have tried cleaning the contacts inside the case and the contacts on the stalk itself but it still doesn't charge.
I called Realme service near me and they told me it'll cost ₹1700 for just the right earbud. But some discount might apply and if my luck is right, it'll be ₹1200.
Now I'm wondering whether I should :
1. Replace the earbud alone and hope that both the left earbud and the case don't die on me.
2. Buy a new cheap TWS (<1200) and use it for as long as it works and then throw it out.
Looking for recommendations for these.
3. Buy a good quality one like the buds 5 and hope it lasts more than 2 years.
Looking for recommendations for these too.
I was thinking of buying these - Boult Klarity 3.
They have everything I want them to, but I'd like to know whether the music quality will be a huge drop from my current setup. The online reviews give it an okayish rating.
My use case -
Not an audiophile by a long shot, but I like my music to be clean.
Online classes.
Movies/Shows.
I'll probably not wear them more than 6 hours a day with breaks in between.
Would like ANC, but can survive without it too.
Thanks guys.
