Hi, I'm looking for some good ANC headphones for when I'm out and about, but also listening to music at home. I may be autistic, because im desperate to block out peoples voices when in public, creating a seperation from myself, so voice ANC performance would be most important. Over ears are fine if they've got better ANC, but so far all the best budget ANC headphones I can find seems to be earbuds. I'd prefer to spend about £75 but could stretch to £100 I'd prefer flat response with parametric equalizer, but a little bass is ok. Super heavy bass is a bit too overwhelming. Ive currently got Some Anker Soundcore Life p2 mini's, which dont have ANC, and are wearing out. I tried some Sony WF-C710N's but they cut out constantly, and the ANC actually got worse after a firmware update, so I returned them. I'm mostly using my phone (Samsung Galaxy A54) and a Fiio Snowsky Echo Mini as sources I've been looking at - Anker Soundcore Space Q45 over ear headphones - Anker Soundcore Space A40 - Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (reviews say too much bass though?) I'm open to other ideas, but these are rtings.com's best budget choises in various categories, so that's all I've had to go on so far. Thanks for reading ❤️
I use anker soundcore life P2 mini, I also have small ears as well. They’re usually around 30$ on amazon. The battery life is amazing will last all day
Bought the Soundcore P2 and P2 mini about 3 years ago for my wife and I, been using them daily for gym no complaints 👍🏻

I’d definitely take the Soundcore one - I had another model from them (P2 Mini) and it was one of the best earbuds that I got for such a cheap price
I also vote Anker. My P2s are 5+ years old now and still going strong. Their wireless speakers are good too.
Soundcore Life for me — a very venerable pair of Q20 over-ears when I'm at home or P2 buds if I'm on the move. Sound quality on the Life line is a bit less than the Liberty line,\* but the price is a lot less too. ^(\*I wonder if they'll do a "Pursuit of Happiness" line to complete the trifecta?)
