Hi I am Rupesh from India and I have purchased android 13 smartphone called One Plus Nord CE 3 which has Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 G processor and 8 GB Ram. Most of the time I use my phone to listen music. Previously before buying one plus I have used LG G7 Plus Thinq which has Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 cpu and hifi quad DAC and aux port. The new One Plus Phone doesn't have aux port.

Listening music in LG G7 Plus Thinq was very nice because it has quad DAC and aux port. There's no chance of degrade in the output through earphones.

But at present I have One Plus Nord CE 3 which came with Android 13 and I have upgraded to Android 14 but unfortunately it doesn't have aux port and so if I want to connect earphones I must use type c adapter. I have brought a low price type c adapter and connected earphones through it. The quality of the output is lower than the one which I got while using LG G7 Plus Thinq.

So I searched for other ways and found Bluetooth tws and so I have brought realme buds air 3 neo. The quality of the output is still lower than the one which I got while using LG G7 Plus Thinq.

Yesterday one of my friend gifted me Bluetooth tws called apple air buds pro 1st generation which was manufactured in 2019 and connected to my one plus Nord ce 3. Actually I have connected the same apple air buds pro in my neighbour apple iPhone and the output is greater than the one which I got while using LG G7 Plus Thinq.

When I connect the same apple air buds pro in my present Android 14 one plus Nord ce 3 the output is not the same as I got in apple iPhone.

In apple iPhone I have seen some settings such as spatial audio but I can't find such settings in my present Android 14 one plus Nord ce 3.

Another issue is both realme buds air 3 Neo and apple air buds pro are by default using AAC codec with 16 bit depth but my phone supports Qualcomm aptx, LDAC, AAC and other three options with bit depths 16, 24, 32 etc.,.

I think that there's no proper support or configuration for apple air buds pro in Android smartphone. But there is full support for apple air buds in all apple devices like iPhone, iPod, iMac etc.,.

At present I have both Bluetooth tws systems Apple Air Buds Pro and Realme Buds Air 3 Neo and so which is the best one among the two.

If you think listening music through earphones and type c adapter may I know which is the best low price type c adapter. Here I have high resolution dual dynamic mi earphones.

If you think apple air buds pro is the best choice is there any way to configure them like selecting Spatial surround sound, Dolby Atmos etc.,. I have used androbuds app but I am not satisfied. Is there any app to configure apple air buds pro better in Android 14.

Is there any way to force all Bluetooth tws systems to use Qualcomm aptx because it provides output with high quality. Is there any way to select the bit depth higher than 16 bit in AAC mode.

Any links or documents for the newcomer like me regarding Bluetooth tws systems are helpful.

As I am newcomer I have expressed my thoughts which may be wrong.

Kindly suggest which is the best way to listen music on Android 14 smartphone which doesn't have aux port. I mean is it preferable to use earphones through type c adapter or use any Bluetooth tws buds.

Regards,
Rupesh.
 
From product page of Nord CE3, it has support for Hi-Res Audio (wired + wireless). Realme buds air 3 neo does not support high bitrate audio.

You can get a bluetooth TWS with Hi-Res support.
Personal preference , Get a External DAC Type C to 3.5mm audio jack coupled with a good IEM. As this setup can be used on other devices which does not Hi-Res Audio.

Have you taken apple air buds pro into consideration because I have it which was gifted to me by my friend. Note that it is manufactured in 2019.

It would work best if you are invested in the Apple ecosystem since some of the features are Apple specific.
The Spatial Audio in Apple Music requires the Android phone to support Dolby Atmos.
If on Android, try one of the Sony TWS which support LDAC.
 
Hi you said that inorder to spatial audio work Android smartphone must support Dolby Atmos.

Yes my smartphone has Dolby Atmos and it's enabled.

I have installed power amp Equalizer which provides presets like rock, soft, pop, soft bass, bass etc.,.

Is it possible to run Dolby Atmos and power amp Equalizer at the same time.

Dolby Atmos do not have any presets which power amp Equalizer has and so I have installed power amp Equalizer.

Another interesting thing is that power amp Equalizer has presets like Apple AirPods (Rtings earbud), Air buds (Inner Fidelity in-ear) etc.,.

What does Rtings earbud and Inner Fidelity in-ear mean and is there any relationship between those presets and apple air buds pro.

You need to do some reading. Read up on Dolby Atmos and Equalization. Then come back.

Airpods pro has been developed to work with full performance combined with apple devices, However Use Apple Music to get Dolby Atmos work with the android phone. Apple Music -> More -> Settings -> Turn Dolby Atmos On. And check the sound quality. Also select high res streaming on in apple music to utilize its potential.
 
Hi is there any usb type c to 3.5 mm aux with quad dac.


Someone from doom9 forums suggested that using Equalizers and Dolby Atmos is of no use at any time whether listening music through dac and earphones or through Bluetooth TWS systems.

I will check it weather it is true or not.

My budget is below 2000 rupees.

Other than Bluetooth I am asking type c to 3.5 adapter which has quad DAC.

At that budget they are all very similar, get oneplus nord buds those are well reviewed. I don't understand what you mean by type C to 3.5mm adapter in a TWS, that doesn't exist as far as I know .

I am searching for best Bluetooth TWS system and at the same time I am searching for how to connect normal 3.5 aux earphones to my phone which doesn't have aux port.

Here there are some type c to aux adapter through which you can connect normal earphones. These adapters starts from 90 rupees to 3000 rupees depending on the output quality.

I have tried to listen music through two Bluetooth TWS systems I have ie., Apple AirPods pro and realme buds air 3 Neo and the output from realme is better than Apple AirPods pro. Apple airpods pro provided output with surround sound with some nuisance.

I believed in using equilizer like power amp and Dolby Atmos is of no use so I have uninstalled power amp and disabled Dolby Atmos and the output is better than before.

At present I will use realme buds air 3 Neo Bluetooth TWS and disable or uninstall all equilizer apps and after some days I will buy high quality usbc dongle or else I will buy pixel buds pro or galaxy buds pro.

Hi I have ordered realme buds air 5 pro TWS which supports LDAC and Bluetooth 5.3 and high resolution audio.

This product has LDAC and costs low price than all other Bluetooth TWS systems.
