For the £100 mark, the Anker Liberty Air 2 Pro are excellent. I often use them on the train. I also had the P30i and they were fantastic for the price and used these with the Deck on a plane.
I have a pair of Shokz OpenRun Pro Minis I wear when walking around and are my usual daily ones I wear at home. Then I have a pair of Soundcore Liberty Air Pro 2s that I use for flights and other transports that are lound and want to turn off sound transparency.
Try Soundcore Air 5 Pro. Man just got from AliX and they sound really great. I switched from Buds Pro 2 as well and I am loving it.
Gotcha. I'll say this, honestly my favorite set of earbuds I've ever had were some knockoff soundcore's labelled soundcore2 ANC, that I grabbed waiting in line at a department store for like $13. I could sleep in them, the profile was perfect for me. Still trying to find the exact set. They were so great til I dropped one then washed them in the laundry.
Owned the Dot 3i, P20i, Liberty Air 2, and P30i. Only disappointing set was the P20i. Effectively, you can generally pick up Soundcore earbuds in any price bracket and be satisfied that they're really competitive with the best options there.
Seconding Soundcore. I’ve never been interested in AirPods because I would lose them and be mad about wasting so much money. I’ve got a set of Soundcore Liberty Air that work great 3 years later and they’re sub $100.
soundcore. i've had 4 pairs of 3 different models and they have been far and away the best earbuds i've owned, and I have owned close to 100 pairs. I use them all day every day so I can speak from considerable first hand exp. the P20i bud have been fantastic and I've also owned the liberty 1 and 2 and both worked great.
Yep. Had a Liberty 2 and Liberty 4NC which both degraded to the point of being unusable well before two years. It's a shame that more reviewers don't do long term reviews and test the battery longevity of earbud brands. In your opinion, which are some brands with either good longevity or easy repairability?
