For the lower budget aka sub 50$, check out anker soundcore options. I just picked up a set of life note 3i, amazon renewed for $30 cdn. Noise cancelling works fairly well, not perfect, but good. Sound quality is great for the price, I use them for audiobooks and all sorts of music. The app is also good and allows for custom eq or presets.

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

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

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.
