AKG - N400

Should be a good buy. Last time AKG had a sale like this with the NC400. Those are some awesome buds and they sold them for $40. All metal body and charger.

The Space Travels are 27 to 29 bucks. If you can find AKG 400NCs, they can sell anywhere between $30 to $120. Both have great sound. Con with the travels is NC isn't as great as the XM5s but for being almost 1/10th the price, its pretty good. Con for the AKG is that you need to run the app for use. But it has great sound and NC with both case and ear buds being metal. I like to try out tech and other than stuff at Costco, both are great backups to my XM5s. Glad you found a pick. How's the battery life on those?

Pretty much. Galaxy Buds work well especially if you have a Samsung phone. (Features) Especially in the sub 60usd space. Only other option are the Moondrop Space Travel, whose quality of audio is better. The NC is weak, and volume doesn't go up for those who are nearly deaf like me. $27 If you're lucky to find one below $60, the AKG N400NC are amazing and the closest I've gotten to XM5 level of audio and NC but they ate discontinued and AKG cleared the stock at $40. All metal construction, battery life (both case and buds) is decent, tips subjective. If you go expensive, XM5 are the best imo. LDAC, battery life, best ANC, foam tips, vast amount of features, etc.

Right now the oneplus buds pro 2. Before that, was jabra elite 75t and 65t. Planning to give technics az80 or denon perl pro a try. I tried to make the akg n400nc my daily, but didn't end up liking them.

AKG N400 is one of the best sounding ear buds for approx $100 but too bad there is a lot of other problems with it.

I need new buds for work. When at work I can only use one at a time. Any of you owners know if just one side can be used at a time? I have a set of the N400NC and only the right side works alone. If you try with just the left side the bluetooth connection instantly disconnects.
