For us, the big advantage of getting the Note 3i is definitely the Soundcore companion app which you can use to fine-tune and adjust the Note 3i to your liking.
These are also a good option if you want earbuds that are similar to Apple’s AirPods Pros in terms of earbud design.

Sabbat E16
Last but certainly not least are the Sabbat E16s. There’s a reason why Sabbat’s have become popular options in the value TWS space: they offer great sound quality, excellent build quality, and low latency. All of these are of course present in the Sabbat E16.
The Sabbat E16 provides ultra-low latency which is perfect for gamers, Bluetooth 5.2, aptX, AAC, and SBC tech. The earbuds will give you around 6 hours of playback and around three full recharges with the case (24 hours give or take).
We especially love how the E16s still use physical buttons for playback controls, as some touch controls can get a bit finicky at times.
