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.
CMF Buds Pro 2 are much better than the P30i and Baseus EP10 Pro. I've owned the P30i, Baseus, Dot 3i, and the standard CMF Buds 2 and the CMFs are better.
I bought the A40 2 weeks ago. Love them. I had the soundcore dot 3 before but they went through the wash. Battery life is amazing and personally don't have any negatives about them.
I would have bought the dot again but they are discontinued. I'm happy with the replacement and don't regret it.
Yes and I had this specific requirement too. I bought Soundcore Life Dot 3i a year ago and never looked back. These are stemless (TWS with stems might cause pain if it doesn't have the proper curvature), have button controls (touch controls can cause accidental touches almost every time while side sleeping and watching content) and are easily flushed into the ear canals. I doubt these are still available on Amazon but you can find something similar with these specific features since these are almost perfect while side sleeping and watching content.
These are available on Flipkart for ₹1600. Have a look.
Life dot 3i is similar sound and call quality to galaxy buds at ~1/3 of the first
Previously I was using the Soundcore Life A3i Now I’m using the Realme Buds Air7
U can go for Soundcore Life Dot 3i, it's durable, and it's noise cancellation is quite decent
Soundcore by Anker. I had the A1's and really liked those but one of them died after 2 years, so I went for the A3i's with noise cancelling. They are absolutely brilliant for the price, the noise cancelling is great and you can easily switch between active and passive mode, which is great on public transport. The only thing is I would say I preferred the fit on the A1's with the little notch that fits into the top of your ear, it made them fit extra securely. I don't think the A3i's are available anymore but the A40's look pretty much the same and are on offer for £45 at the moment in Amazon.
Anker makes great earbuds. I've had a 60 dollar pair of Life Dot 3i for over 2 years and the closest I've had to an issue with them is I lost one of them
