"I used these since they are so cheap for a long time."
"Great part is that model of earbud is relatively cheap to stock up on in case you have a habit of misplacing them like I do."
"yes i got them on sale for $35 and theyre excellent and tbh as good as my last pair- i used to have the soundcore ANC ones before (~$110) but wasnt willing spend as much this time"

Bloodish 1.0I've also been use some Soundcore Life A2 NC for years, and I've been super happy with them. I can't bring myself to upgrade to a new pair since these have just always been solid with comfortable ANC. They don't sell these anymore though, but just wanted to give an extra shout out to Soundcore for their price/performance ratio. 👍
Everyd4yAudioGuy 1.0Yeah! At under \~$40 (ideally < $30) you can get earbuds that sound a bit better than the SoundPEATS Free2 Classic and support AAC or aptX. Look at budget picks like SoundPEATS T2/T3, Anker Soundcore Life A1/A2, or TOZO T6/T10. They’re usually comfy and land better codecs for the money. About dot-style vs stemmed: the difference isn’t performance, it’s fit and comfort. Dot/bean buds are shorter in your ear and some people find them less likely to poke or fall out, while stemmed ones stick out more but can house bigger mics/antennas. It’s really about what feels secure for your ears, not a universal “one shape stays in better.” If you tell me whether you’re on iPhone or Android, I can tailor a specific pick with the best codec for your device.

pullmyfinger222 1.0As I was reading this, I was thinking "Tozo NC7," and then I got to the end. Alternatives could include the Soundcore Space A40, p40i, Life A2 NC, and Life A3i, along with the Tozo NC9 (there are many variations of these), Jlab jbuds Air Pro for starters. These are all earbuds that I have used personally and can vouch for.
Dlh2079 0.1I had a previous set of the life line that died prior to getting my libertys. Had never spent more than 50 or so on a pair of ear buds and was realizing just how much I was wearing them so I decided to go ahead and spend a bit more. I have 0 regrets, absolutely love em.
lovedevie 0.0Yes their nc really works
SprinklesUsed8973 0.0YES! Parang sale kanina yung NC version around 580 nalang. Last month nakabili ako yung r50i lang for like only 420, hindi kasi bumaba price nung NC variant eh badly needed kasi nalaglagan ako airpods sa jeep nun. hahahaha
elizable9 0.0I have some Anker Soundcore earpods and they have a lot of audio presets one is for podcasts and works brilliantly for audiobooks. You just select the preset on the app.
grokisgood 0.0I used these since they are so cheap for a long time. I was bothered by the silicone wing piece constantly sliding off. I upgraded to raycon fitness earbuds. My main issue is comfort and staying in the ear, and I refuse to spend 200 for earbuds.
Clear_Succotash7748 0.0I wouldn't trust soundguys in this case. Anc Soundcore is better than cmf. Buy oneplus Buds 4, liberty 5 or soundpeats air pro5
ISeeADarkSail 0.0One of the things I like most about my Shokz, is I can wear them, and have music or party chat in them, and wear over-the-ears-cans over them to have game sound and Twitch notifications when I stream, and one doesn't bleed into the other. I also like them when cycling somewhere quiet. In traffic I revert to Soundcore Earbuds with ANC.
