I got the Anker a10, had some charging issues, so I got a pair of a20s as back up, then got a 2nd pair of a20s as back up for my back up (they're still in the box). I've slept with a pair in every night for 1.5 years now and really want to make sure I never have to go without ever again.
I like my soundcore sleep a20, had to send my a10 back for lack of comfort but a20 have improved. Though can't tell for a30
Hey, I could've written this. I've owned the A10, A20 and A30 (and the Ozlos) and it's impressive how much Soundcore has improved their sleep line with each iteration.
I also use cheap Amazon headband headphones for listening to audio books while I fall asleep. I received the anker sleep earbuds as a gift but they have this weird high pitched buzzing sound that goes in and out while I’m listening to audio books (not noticeable when listening to music) that drove me nuts. So I went back to my cheap headband sleep headphones. I wear earplugs underneath to block out other sounds then turn the headphones up high so I can hear my book but not my partner’s snoring. I’m a side sleeper and they are super comfy. The battery lasts long enough that I only need to charge about once a week. Mine are LC-Dolita but look just like the ones linked above.
Don't buy them!! I have owned 4 sets of quieton. The only one that actually still works are the original black sleep ones with the button. The "new" design all have the same issue where one bud fails to charge. I bought the 4, I was so hopeful since they claim the QA is enhanced. 8 days in and it fails!! Over $400 Canadian with tax and it took 2 months from intial purchase till I finally got a refund, which IU had to use a paypal dispute to get. I also own the Ozlo and Soundcore A10s, A20s and soon the A30s. Ozlo are hands down the most comfortable but known to by buggy (I haven't experienced it), the Soundcore A20s are nice as far as features but don't provide as much noise isolation. I'm hopeful for the A30s with ANC. Just stay away from the QuietOn!! Huge waste off money, I promise they will fail, they always eventually do!!
The A30 aren’t out yet. What are you basing your recommendation on? I have the A10 and they’re just *okay* in terms of comfort. I want to get the heir apparent of the Bose sleepbuds, which I think are the Ozlo; that original Bose design is super comfortable.
I have Soundcore A10s and A20s The A20's are more comfortable. They have the added bonus of built in sounds and white noise and other sounds in case you just want some ambient tones.
Ah yes the Samsung bud 3 pros. One of my favorite sounding buds...but of course I have a Galaxy s25 ultra so I get the benefit of that special high quality Bluetooth codec that you can only get if you have a newer Galaxy phone. They also have a pretty decent microphone. Wasn't a big fan of the ANC tho(a lot of white noise but decently strong). I also like the controls,very responsive, and voice commands come in handy as well. Definitely a good earbud! OH YEAH!!!! those freaking ear tips are a pain to get off!!!!! I actually ripped one trying to get it off, I exchanged it and just kept the medium ones on. 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Nah I haven't tried the az80, but I have the az100. They are one of my favorite buds, one of the strongest ANC performers.
Not a big fan of the az100 sound, I don't have the MTW4 but I have the 3s and even those sound more dynamic,more layering, more "sparkle"....ya know.
I don't have the pro 2s but I have the pro 1s. The reason I didn't get the 2s is there didn't seem like they changed much. I heard they fit a little better, if I'm not mistaken they are smaller than the pro 1s.
My soundcore liberty 4 pros are one of my favorite all arounders.
One of my favorite sounding buds. (I have the Nothing ear, nothing ear 2,and nothing ear a. Bass heavy sound, decent mic quality, very secure fit, solid ANC. The only weakness is the battery life, it's a little on the shorter side. I LOVE THE DESIGN !!!
