Beoplay HX issues & recommendation request
First of all, the beoplay HX are thé worst headphones I have ever owned. Bought them a couple of years ago to replace my beoplay H4, the best headphones I've ever owned. More than twice the price, and they were shit from the start. So I kept using my H4s until one ear completely broke a few days ago.
I was forced to switch to the HX, which were basically my reserves at that point. The sound is awful, the range is awful, and when I connect it to my phone, it constantly causes any youtube video or podcast to pause & unpause all the time. If I wanted to spend more than 50% of my time actually listening to something, I have to manually push to right ear to unpause every 10 seconds when it automatically pauses.
I feel like I'm in a headphone limbo currently because the h4 are discontinued, I would've stocked up for life otherwise. I bought €40 soundcore headphones off amazon for my son, and they're a massive upgrade to my €600 HX in every single regard, but still nowhere near as good as the beoplay H4. Does anybody who actually owned a pair of beoplay H4 know of any very similar headphones? Preferably under €1000, the cheaper the better.
Thanks.
