I am using the EarFun air pro 4 for a year now and they are much better at noice cancelling than my soundcore life p3 and soundcore liberty 2 pro plus, though those are a few years old now…
I haven't used the first or second options specifically but I have used soundcore earbuds in the past and currently have older models - the liberty 2 pro + and the Life P3, though after a few years, the batteries in the cases are starting to go. The earfun, i am using and they work quite well, the noise cancelling is some of the best I have used.
Try checking amazon renewed, you can get some good deals. I got a set of soundcore life p3 for just over 30 cad, I'm happy with them so far. The p20i that another commenter mentioned are pretty good too and they go on sale for 20-25
I had the life p3 and those were the best ear buds I've ever owned! Needless to say that they won't last forever and I've tried several Soundcore earbuds since and none of them gave me the same level of audio quality but the closest I've come is the liberty 4 NC. I've literally tried at least 6 other earbuds from Anker and returned them all except for the liberty 4 NC. You might like them as opposed to the pro. Save yourself some money 😊
I've had a few pairs now. I had an old pair of Anker ones that they claimed was some sort of hybrid ANC, then I had the Anker/Soundcore Life P3s, which were... fine... Most recently I have the Pixel Buds Pro, which I wouldn't recommend at all, but are fine for noise cancelling.
If you want solid all around performance under $100, the Soundcore Life A3 NC is a really safe pick. The ANC is genuinely useful for the price, battery life is strong for daily use, and they’re comfortable enough to wear for hours without constantly adjusting them. Another good option is the Soundcore Life P3. These lean a bit more fun and punchy in sound, still have decent noise cancelling, and tend to stay in place well. Battery life is also good enough to get you through a full day without stress. If you prefer a more balanced sound, the JBL Tune 230NC is worth a look. They’re comfortable, reliable, and do a good job with both ANC and call quality. Before I buy anything, I usually check the sound tunings on [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co) to see if it actually matches my vibe rather than just chasing specs.
Soundcore life p3 is good given your price range
Soundcore or Soundpeats. Pick the model you want. They have the best earphones for the price. +1 for Soundcore Life P3
I don't like one conducting. SoundCore P3 true wireless are very good and affordable if they are still available.
