I've had the Anker soundcore life note 3s for 3 years now. I think I paid $25 or $30. They have active noise cancelling and hold a charge well. I chose them because I've had Anker cables that have gone bad and email the company and they sent free replacements. I'm sure that goes through all their products. So I'd say look into soundcore earbuds. I've gotten so much value from them.
If you want something that actually lasts, stick to brands like Anker, Sony, or JBL. I’ve seen a lot of people have good long-term experience with Anker Soundcore series (Life Note / Liberty line). They’re not the best sounding, but super reliable + great battery.
I 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.
One 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.
