0verdue_ProcessFor less than 50 Soundcore are my first pick. The p20i is on sale for 19.99(Amazon), and they sound better than $20 earbuds should. For $30, you can get the p30i which also have ANC. I have well over a dozen earbuds, most in the premium segment, and these are the ones I choose for when I'm out mountain biking or other sports... I'd rather be out $20 than $400 (not that I paid that much for any of them, just what they retail for).
77tassellsAround Black Friday soundcore had the p30i on sale for $25. I’m pretty impressed with them as my backup pair I keep at work.
8ear8I just got the soundcore p30i from Amazon at 26€ . Hope they are good
addyblanchFor the £100 mark, the Anker Liberty Air 2 Pro are excellent. I often use them on the train. I also had the P30i and they were fantastic for the price and used these with the Deck on a plane.
Agile_Magician1451I have no complaints using my Soundcore P30i buds
Whatever Anker Soundcore ones you can find in your budget probably.. I'm perfectly happy with the p30is but got them on sale for only $40cad
Alternative-Farmer98Wait what is ear hang? Do you mean like a stem? Try the Life P30i or P20i. Or nothing CMF buds. I actually prefer neck bands. Like the nothing CMF pro or the OnePlus wireless Z A anc. But if you just want regular earbuds the life P30i has app support and multi point and active noise cancellation and at least in my country you can get them for as low as 24 US dollars.
Ancient_Goal_2732Soundcore p30i at $22.30 not sure how this wasn't mentioned at this price they are hard to beat
Though not stemless, it is a pretty short stem. Sorry I did miss that part
armourofgod666Got the Soundcore p30i last week from Amazon for $28. Incredible for a cheap earbud. Construction is solid, great battery life and charge time, solid sound quality, fantastic EQ app that also let's your customize the easy to use touch controls, and it has transparency mode and ANC. The comfort level is outstanding. The only flaws are that the ANC is just okay and the charging case is bigger than average. If you don't need ANC I'd actually recommend the Soundcore p20i, which you can get for $18 refurbished on Amazon or 20-ish dollars new. Same thing but without ANC I think. Honestly, I would have thought these earbuds were more in the $50-60 range. I've had the several other cheap earbuds from Amazon, several variants of the airpods, and I was using the Jabra Elite 75T for awhile as my daily driver. I'd say the Soundcore p30i is better than the Jabras, which cost me $60-70.
