    Unfortunately I haven’t been impressed with the TRULY open source options. There are two KINDA open source options that I would personally say are much better:

    • ReVanced is sorta open source, but it’s basically a tool to modify the YouTube app, which is not open source.

    • GrayJay is source available, not truly FOSS. But it’s an excellent app and has been stable in my experience (especially impressive as it’s only a few months old).


  • I’m actually trying PocketGuide, just started the 7 day trial. I’m really impressed so far, it seems better than Mint and the annual price is only $35 (which isn’t free, but it’s cheaper than most of the alternatives). I plugged in all my checking and credit card accounts and it’s working great. It already told me that I’m spending too much money and I need to re-do my budget. 😂

    It has a free version but you can only plug in two accounts so it’s pretty useless (unless two is enough for you).








  • Hard disagree. ANC of earbuds just isn’t in the same league as a nice set of big over-ear cans. And earbuds that go inside your ear canal may or may not fit well depending on how your ear canal is shaped. Also, my big headphones are VERY repairable, unlike little earbuds. I bought these things used and have replaced a faulty power board and the battery in them that eventually went bad, all with a screwdriver. No soldering required.

    I’m sure the LinkBuds are nice, but I want to push back hard on the idea that earbuds are inherently better. There are pros and cons.


  • Holy crap! Thanks for making this thread, I learned that GadgetBridge works with my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones. Confirmed that all the same settings from the Sony app are in there, and I can turn ANC on and off. I’d argue that you should probably install the official app sometimes (maybe once a year) to check for firmware updates, and then just uninstall it after updating. But this GadgetBridge app seems perfect to me.

  • Oh removed, they support Galaxy Buds Live. I love those little things, I might try this out.

    Edit: to be clear, ANC on these buds is terrible. So they’re definitely not an answer to OP’s question, but they’re the most comfortable earbuds I’ve ever used.

    Edit 2: and they support my Sony headphones! Holy removed! OP, there’s your answer, assuming they support the ANC button. My XM3 cans have noise cancelling just as good as Bose (I’ve tested).
