Certainly vouch for anker sound core products if you can buy the original. For the price point its worth it. Lenovo tws also good but not really recommend if you wanna take calls.
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 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?)
I love my Anker Soundcore earbuds. Drowns out my husband’s snoring! Yet, I could hear Scouts yelling in an emergency
I have the 2.0 version. Saw the 3 just came out but I am happy with what I have
soundcore anker earphones talaga
Under $60 is tight, but there are actually a few solid options if you keep expectations reasonable. For everyday use + PS5, I’d honestly skip most “gaming” headsets in this price range and go with something more general-purpose. Anker Soundcore Q20 / Q20i is probably your best bet. Good battery life, comfortable for long sessions, decent mic for the price, and you can use them wired with the PS5 controller. They usually go for around $50–60. If you want something smaller, Soundcore Life P2 / P3 earbuds are also pretty solid for bus use and still work fine for gaming in wired mode with the controller. At this budget, wired + Bluetooth combo is the safest way to get something that lasts.
I used the Skullcandy Jib XT Active Bluetooth ones for years. Went through several pairs cuz I kept misplacing them lol. Then one of my half marathons last year, about a week out, was looking like it was gonna be some serious rain on the forecast I wasn't planning for and I always run with SOMETHING on (music, podcast). Couldn't risk them dying and so looked for something with more waterproof aspect. Soundcore by Anker were recommended and were like IPx7 rated, basically fully waterproofed. I tried em. They connected, disconnected a time or two in the beginning but I got them to stay on eventually but the problem for me was I have smaller ears and they were/are just so uncomfortable and don't sit right in my ears. They constantly feel like they're going to fall out. I really truly wanted to like them esp for the waterproofness 🤦🏼♀️ My last race I said f it, I can't deal with how uncomfortable they are but I lost yet another pair of my aforementioned jib actives 😅. Went to Walmart to get one and grabbed one. Also grabbed a skull candy Smokin Buds XT wireless buds as well. Not fully water proof but ixp4 I think or something close. Figured I'd try em. Well, turns out the replacement jib XT I got are wired. Like fully. It says it nowhere on the packaging anywhere at all and I ripped the box open so I can't return them. They looked identical before that but thankfully the smokin buds xt are actually comfortable AF and my race was in misty wet crap the whole time so I'm calling those a win. 10/10 recommend. So many people recommend various bone conducting ones too and I so so wish I could wear them but I'm blind as a bat and have to have glasses so I don't think I can really wear or comfortably wear any of those ones recommended. Alas I must stick with these. 🤷🏼♀️
