This is interesting as this has not been my experience! I have the sleep A20 earbuds and the p40i and the battery on both of those have been very impressive.
P40i by Anker. I really recommend them I just bought them recently and I'm amazed how good they are for that price.
I have these and I love them. Easily the battery lasts longer than my old earbuds. The noise cancelling isn't the best I have had, but the sound and battery is great. I have had bose noise cancelling, and after a year and a half they lost power to one. Seemed common when I researched it.
OnePlus 4 have really good Bass. Soundcore P40i also have insane Bass but it's not clean and is a bit difficult to listen to
Soundcore P40i, I don't know if this applies to all soundcore devices but p40i has a low latency mode which you can toggle in the app. Tested it and it really is low latency, could barely notice it at all
Make sure to use the app to control them and set up your music iq profile (I think it’s called?). It’s customized equalizer to make the sounds perfect for your ears. You can also control ANC or transparency through the app. Customize what the buttons do, etc
I have cheap Bluetooth earbuds that I bought from Amazon, about 2 years ago, they work really well connect flawlessly and have really good sound quality, they only cost £23 last about 6 hours before needing recharge. Anker Soundcore P40i they have gone up a bit but still relatively cheap.
Soundcore Liberty 4 NC or P40i fixes your volume control issue and gives you solid battery under $100.
