K20i

I also bought 4 pro after reading reviews on the internet and I was deeply disappointed. They constantly fall out of my ears and I couldn't wear them to the gym at all. I bought Soundcore k20i and I'm happy for now, they don't fall out of my ears.

Tozo T21, & Soundcore K20i are my go to earbuds in this style right now. Inexpensive and they sound good. Also, look at the Tozo OpenEarRing. I like them a lot more than I expected to.

Yes, the build quality surprised me. And they are loud and have deep bass. They also have a low latency game mode that works well but no anc (which is probably their biggest downside).

Soundcore k20i are comfortably small and perform well for the price but the Air3 Deluxe HS are superior and continue to be one of my favorites.

I like the Soundpeats Air5. Haven't tried The Oppo Enco yet. I like the Soundcore k20i in that price range.

So few even know they exist. I ran a pair through the wash. Soundcore replaced them. I appreciated that.

Soundcore k20i are cheap but very good. Also check this out Might be helpful. [Best $50 half-in-ear Wireless Earbuds - November 2025](https://www.scarbir.com/guide/cheap-apple-airpods-alternatives)

Soundpeats Air5 Lite should be in your price range. They're very good. Soundcore k20i are less expensive but still good. They have a great app that lets you adjust the sound to your liking.

I wanna clarify that I’ve been searching in this sub before writing, and as the title says I’m searching for a nice semi in ear earbud ( classic with no silicone tip ) because I still want to hear if someone is talking to me ( lowering volume to 0 of course ). I was ready to buy the soundpeats air5 lite but someone stated they were not worth for that price (60€ at the moment). Right now I own some old xiaomi mi true wireless 2s, AirPods 4, the goated soundcore k20i ( fits perfectly they are super light it feels like having no weight in my ear and they were only 18€! Best buy if anyone wants, in my opinion ). Any suggestions? I know the general knowledge is “semi in ear and audio quality won’t mix well “ but I hate that silicon tip. Maybe I’ll get a pair of those one day when I will just lay on the bed and enjoy some quality music. Oh, cap should be around 60/70€, I already have a pair that costs way more, and I want one I can use everyday without caring much.

K20i are amazing for the price. I've gotten so many people turned onto those since like us they don't like the rubber ends either. I daily K20is and brought 3 pair, one for the gym and one for any other time. Even dropped them in the toilet by mistake let them sit for a week in a bag of rice after a alcohol soak and they still work great.

So I've tried a few buds. My issue is that I don't really know what shape/thickness works for me. My ears are very weird. Huawei free se 2 - (they're okay but hurts after 2 hours) Soundcore k20i - Great fit, but sound quality isn't really it for me. Soundcore Liberty Buds - Something with these make them not fit me very well. I had hopes for these tho. They fit and stay in, but they're not very comfortable. Nor do they impress me with their sound for that price. Recently bought the JBL live flex 3 - to thick for my ears sadly. But from the semi in ear buds ive tested, these by far has the best and fullest sound. The sound also doesn't get affected when turning the bud back or forth a few degrees. It seriously blows the above out of the water sound wise. I'm eyeing the Galaxy Buds 3 alternatively Buds 4- been reading that they're thick tho. But no multipoint, mid battery life and a high price. Also been looking into OPPO enco 3/ OPPO enco air4(same thing different names in EU/ASIA). But I really don't see how OPPO will have much better soundquality than k20i. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Budget isn't really a thing - but for the purpose of the post let's say max 300 usd. Just want to stop spending money on earbuds I can't use and after trying them on I can't return them either - due to the consumer laws in my country classifying earbuds as a hygienic product.
