Hey all
I am looking for wireless bud earphones, like airpods, for my father. Something that doesn't have (or need) the rubber tips. Something that doesn't go too inside "jo zyaada andar nahi jaata" .
I think normal airpods don't have rubber tips. Only pro has them.

Suggestions please..

What's your budget anyway? If it is too low then you probably have to lower down your expectations by quite a bit.

How is this one? Check if boAts has the same design. Both sell Chinese manufactured items but the cs of the latter is good. Unfortunately these kinda headphones cost 3.5k+ only as of now.

Budget: I guess around 2k. Don't really have anything in mind. Considering realme as well. But its too expensive. Not ruled out the generic ones, but they are a lottery, could have a number of issues.
@billubakra It has the silicon pads tight fit, that father does not want.

I found this : AirBolt 501 True Wireless Earbuds | Auxtron . In budget, has 1 year warranty and seems okay. But brand is not known and no reviews.. Thoughts ?

dillip, the phillips one seem to have a tight fit, which generally speaking would sound better, but father wanted something looser. thanks anyway

Its a desi site. Shipped to Delhi.
Mini Review:
Not much of a listener, but it sounds very decent to me.
Build quality is good. fits in nicely, no surprises here. Shape is like of airpods
Battery life is good.
Has no 'smart' features. Doesn't turn off when put in box, doesn't turn on autmatically etc.
Turning off is painful. Press the touch button on the earphones for 7 seconds. why ? Thankfully this is not a problem for me. papa just turns off the bluetooth , which turns off the earphones after 5 minutes.
multitouch button works as expected. But gets accidentally touched a lot in the beginning.

Can you post photos of the same including the box? Is the voice assistant working?
Good replica in that price range.

Sry late reply. Voice assistant works. Mic quality is good. papa can use it for calls just fine. He doesn't use it often though. I would recommend getting something with smart features, like auto on-off when put in box.
