I do, I thought I had put that in 1st (Brain Fart). Personally I prefer Speakers and Headphones to Earbuds. That being said my favorite Earbuds are the L3P which I like quite a bit.
I’m going to edit the above post to reflect that.
Hi everyone, so what you using to get the best listening experience?

Outside chilling on the deck for me it has to be the boom, inside listening motion + , personal use, q 30 , in ear l3p but I do have fit issues. I like the mini but I don’t use them often not sure why but I really don’t utilize them much.

I’m an iPhone user, so I wondered about LDAC & I wound up installing the app on an Samsung galaxy, there’s a big difference, i definitely noticed and enjoy it but , (I iPhone for music sound great too just not as good with Ldac ) . .
But for all the “over ear” headphones -I still love my Q10s for theirbass the most! I take them out the box frequently still! As well as the Q20s , they’re the most comfortable head set I’ve had ,I use them while streaming movies (I could easily fall asleep with them on my head . However I enjoy the Q45s -I use most often. I feel they are all around superior in sound than the rest on most occasions. (Unless I want my bassUp loud! or I want to relax and watch a movie.). I’m always wearing the Q45s more than the rest

I love Indoor-outdoor wireless speakers. When I want clear and Loud audio i go to the motion boom plus . I use it indoors more often actually. As far as mini speakers I think I’ll purchase a couple of flares and try them out out thanks , I have other brands for pairing tws and “mini “ speakers but Besides the boom plus which I love , want to know which soundcore speakers are “must haves” (sound quality wise ). Any other recommendations besides the flares ?

After the latest firmware update last week, the Q45’s have a bit more dazzle. But their presets are a touch below my favourite preference.
I still can’t work out how to put a screen shot on here of my settings to show you all what my favourite EQ is! … Help?
My dream sound happened to me after listening to the Sony XM5 last week, three things got my attention…
- The silence once you’ve put them on.
- The warm bass that serves the bass without cutting out and distorting while still getting clear highs and a soothing middle.
- Moving sound 3D.
And another…
Comfort.
Will soundcore push their game on their next release? …
For the moment my midrange Q45s are contentious.

- Liberty 2 Pro for sound quality
- Liberty Air 2 Pro for daily driver; good for phone calls, noise cancellation when needed, but will also pipe in ambient noise when needed as well
- Flare for around the house or for guest music
- Cheapo headband/headphones for sleeping.

Absolutely I agree, the update has the bass up mode on the Q45 kicking harder too , ( it’s definitely obvious to me , anyway.)

The old BassUp setting boosted too much midbass and not enough sub-bass but after the 2.17 update I find it quite unnatural-sounding now like forcing a sub-bass onto everything. I wish there was some way to adjust it to be between.

Isn’t everything possible with the EQ setting instead?

Do a perfect eq setting and forget about that boost

Personally I do custom every time I find what works best for me. Everyone has different hearing, and everyone finds subtle differences work best for their hearing. So if you have a preset that is almost there for you copy that in your custom EQ and play with that until you find the right one for you and save it

The Bass is just awful on the Q45
I realised the bass should give warmth the moment you hear the music. This is not a basshead thing. It makes you relax.
Then have clarity with mids and highs.
The bass is a complete mess and it’s not in the tuning, the quality just isn’t there.
Saying this, it’s the not the worst experience I’ve had. Another thing, I’m not listening to lossless, I’m just being picky on standard mp3. But nonetheless, the bass should create a soothing experience not a muffled one.
None of the EQ settings allow you to give a tight thump as with the Bassup function, but it is really too overpowering for my taste.
I was NOT talking about the functions of the app.
Sorry, I dont use it.
I am on LINUX so there is no app.

Right but you can and probably have, just used it infrequently on phone to do firmware upgrade or tweak a setting then disconnect.
My Motion+ gets used with a laptop. It only gets connected to phone infrequently.
Yes I can do, but I will not.
“never change a running system” :
My speakers are fine, so I will not change any firmware.
I even dont know if my Flare minis are supported.

I am the same even with my laptop and tablet and phone I turn off updates and only ever do something if I absolutely need to. If it’s not broken why fix it. Lol
It really depends on.
I would recommend updates regarding safety when using WIN or Android.
I do updates on my LINUX devices.
But I had never any problems doing so.
And if there would issues show up, I can “downgrade” everything.
Back in the day I had a win 95 system that I never updated and worked wonderful, my young son thought he was doing me a favor and did all the updates and crash boom never worked the same. That being said I was able to uninstall then reinstall an older version from disc then make sure no updates were done. It took a long time to get used to other versions of windows and Linux as well. I surely miss my win95 hell I miss my flip phone . I remember thinking I was all it when I got a VCR and Atari my neighbors came over to watch the VCR.

The best WIN ever was that XP.
All other, newer versions are/were really crap.
I am so glad that I havent to use this bad OS now.
I had to use Mac-OS (not bad) and MS at the university.
To take care about what my students were producing,
because our programs had to run on all platforms.
Now a pensioner, I can use my LINUX MINT only and I am happy with it.
Not fighting against blue screens and cryptic error reports any more.
