Has anyone found their favorite wireless ear buds to go with any of this years flagships?

I don't wait AirPods as they dont fit well in my ears.
I haven't heard great things about Galaxy Buds.
Leaning Beats Pro or whatever they are called but they are limited stock and pricey but getting rave reviews.

I am tempted to try the OP Bullets but they dont seem to be proven and I use these for mowing the lawn/working out so lots of sweat.

No restocking fee, you just have to pay the shipping back

I chatted with OnePlus and they assured me I'd get a full refund back if I sent it back with the box, accessories, and it's not damaged. I took a screenshot just in case.

My theory is the people getting hit with the 15% re-stock fee are picking the return reason as "I no longer want it" rather than some defect.

Just ordered an 8/256 from OP direct. Should arrive by 6/5. Now that the weird Verizon issue has been fixed I decided to give it a try. Loved the 6T during my time with it. Based on what I've seen out of the Pixel 4 leaks I am not thrilled...didn't like the punch hole on the S10e (owned and sold it) or S10+ (returned), and won't like it on the Pixel. I know there are other compromises made with the 7 Pro but overall I don't think they'll bother me. No notch or hole BS, pop up camera, 90hz screen, option to disable PWM hopefully soon...sign me up. Happy to support innovation / forward thinking tech. Excited to try the phone out.

I only saw they don't refund shipping and you pay to ship it back . But now you have me a bit worried!

Thanks! I received mines on Thursday and sent it back this afternoon. I had to pay for return shipping, though. They should receive it next week. I guess we will see what happens.

hmmm am still kinda considering this device. The phantom touches are a bit of a concern however. Is it explicitly tied to nfc? Is so not a deal breaker. I barely give nfc a second thought.

I kind of want to try a pixel alternative out. Yeah I have the 6 but never really got into it and since I got my 3xl on att I can play musical phone's.

I had it since launch day, it's not an issue.

What do you like about it in comparison to iOS?

Hardware mostly. The screen is the best I have ever used on any phone, the OS is buttery smooth with so much customization and I really like the whole package it presents away from my stale experience with iOS the last few years.

It gives you that simplistic easy to use iOS feel.... But without the closed doors every time you try to do something you wanna do with your phone. The polish and attention to detail is above apple IMO at this point.

“Above Apple.” How so?

i have this. great phone, monster battery life, embedded screen fingerprint works well and fast. i wish screen edges were flat instead of curved. kind of annoying all companies are doing curved screen. i like flat.

Well for one, the settings is nicely organized and things are where they should be. Animations are quick and a smooth 60 fps.
and....you can arrange the icons anywhere you want. Widgets on the homescreen are really nice as well.

I really, really, really want to give this phone a try. But with Airpods, Apple Watch, Apple TV, iPhone Xs Max, i'm kinda deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Still though, I really would like to give it a whirl.

Had my first picture heavy event this weekend and was very unsatisfied with the camera on this device. It was all kinds of weird coloring and Samsung like effects to their pics. I was very disappointed and probably the honeymoon stage blinded me from previous simple snap and take pics of previous.

I felt like it truly soured the experience of the moment and really missed my XS Max for the first time.

Now i have some other big events coming in the next few weeks and not sure I want to trust my OP7 as my mine device for those. Other then that though, this phone is so damn good.
Ugh

you're not the only one. I had to return my OP 7 Pro because of the camera (and size / heft). It's just not up to par with the flagships. I take a lot of pics and videos, especially of my 3 young kids, and it just doesn't give me the confidence I like to have when I need to snap a quick pic or video of my kids... and I love scenery pics too and this just can't hang. Right now I'm hanging on to my 3a and S10 which do a much better job.

EDIT: otherwise, it is a good camera, best OP camera yet. But not up to snuff with the big boys. but the phone itself is incredible if you don't have the touch issues.

In anything but ideal lighting, and even in ideal lighting, too many of my pics seemed to have this washed out coloring to them. I think the camera processing can't handle harsh light and highlights too well.
