"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Was ideal because I was in a cabin with 3 screaming babies and ANC + audiobook worked like a CHARM."
"The fit, comfort, sound, and ANC are the best I've experienced. ... all the rest have markedly inferior ANC."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"I use it for the same reasons and love it. ... I would not consider the regular Apple Watch because of battery life."
"the battery life easily lasts 10+ hours."

"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"
"How much of a difference does a little 5 ohm impedance bump make? A whole hell of a lot actually. ... we get a HUGE bass boost in the balance of this IEM, running into the mid range and smoothing out the treble. If you add foam tips into the equation, what you get is a bassy, new meta-like sound with a much fuller mid bass and lower mid range, making for much richer male vocals while eliminating Harman shout and spice. Once adapted, the set has a much more pronounced mid bass kick and texture, and will satisfy a fair amount of bassheads. ... All in all, the adapter makes it sound like a completely different IEM, and that makes for a pretty versatile, choose-your-own-adventure style experience."
"I struggle to tell the difference between them and "premium" buds that cost 3 or 4 times more, so I just stick with these. ... I auditioned these between Bose QC 2024, Pixel Buds Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 and I can't really tell the difference. ... certainly not enough to make me pay 4x as much."

"I’d love to be able to run in them, but they would never stay in my ears. ... I’m afraid I already have tried each pod size. ... I had the air pod pro before that and they were the same. ... I even bought extra / different size pods and they didn’t work. ... I think Apple designed them for the most common types, but they just do not fit everyone. I’m sadly one of those people. ... Having had this issue for almost 6 years, I would be reluctant to run with them now."
"The AirPods Pro always slip out after 1-2 minutes of use on the left side (for me). I'm still trying to find a solution for this. One that doesn't involve fiddling with the foam."
"I have tried a bunch of different eartips for my airpods pro, both foam and speciality combined rubber + foam and they grip pretty well. ... But I find that if the earbud has some kind of rubber ring or lip around the speaker casing they seem to stay much much better than if they just have a better replaced rubber tip. Because the whole speaker is otherwise kind of moving around inside the outer part of the ear and pulls the eartip out more and more during the day so I have to constantly readjust and push in the earbud."

"bad connection with pc vía USB (im not making the de mic work)"
"I had many times where sonar audio devices flat out wouldn’t work properly and required a restart or reinstall to fix, and I got tired of it."
"The one problem I have with them is when they go into a standby mode and come out of it, the mic stops working, both on Bluetooth and with the dongle. ... So like if I'm in a Discord chat and I mute for 20 minutes and come back, I have to put the buds back in the case and take them out for the mic to work again."

"every 60 seconds or so it shrieked for a couple of seconds in an electric staticy kinda way."
"For people that have not lost their hearing yet and can still hear very high-pitched noises, these earbuds produce a constant high-pitched sound even when both ANC and transparancy mode are disabled. ... This sound is amplified greatly when transparancy mode is enabled so I guess it's related to that feature"

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"after about 6 months of use, the battery life fell off dramatically. ... I'm lucky if I get 45 minutes out of a full charge. ... This battery issue affected both sets of Elite 65t earbuds."
"my vivoactive 4s died a few months ago now after a few good years services, I wanted to change it. I couldn't because I had the change the whole watch, planned obsolescence."

"tap-controlling Raycons ... Those darned tappity in one teeny tiny area are no good even if you've got gloves off. Especially with long thick hair over the ears."
"The touch does not work at all if you have any type of hat over your ears or wear gloves. ... The touch has to be skin to device. ... It would be annoying to have to take off a glove and lift the hat up to pause music or change tracks. ... Because of this, these are likely going back for me."
"the touch controls are finicky"
Sony WF-C700N might be within your budget. They're very good, too. The Soundcore A40 are excellent though.
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds ->I second this. The earfuns are better at just about everything. The only caveat: the soundcore A40s are better for side sleeping, one of the best.
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds ->I used Soundcore Space A40 extensively before. Ngayon, i have a separate mic and designated the A40 as the work earbuds.
r/buhaydigital • What earphones do you use for meetings? ->If you hate dangling sticks out of ear and like low profile I'd suggest soundcore space A40, music quality is average, but bettery life, ergonomics, charging, ANC is good, since I mostly listen to podcasts I don't care about music as much so for me they are top noch for the price
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds under 100$? ->Try the Space A40. About $60 but longer battery and smaller so you can side sleep. Tons of features.
r/TravelHacks • Travel items you can’t live without ->Soundcore Space A40 or CMF Buds Pro 2. Note the CMF buds DO have battery issues like most Nothing audio products. Its a gamble to get them tbh
r/Earbuds • Need some cheap noise canceling earbuds. ->The anker space ones and the anker a40s if you want ear buds. They are much more affordable than similar options with truly excellent active noise cancellation.
r/aspergirls • What's the best noise cancelling headphones you have tried? ->bluetooth? no bluetooth earbuds will be buy it for life. i like my soundcore space a40, especially for the price lately (sale: $45) but the battery is shot after 2 years. I wear them all day.
r/BuyItForLife • Got a long day of travel and desperately need some earbuds with really good battery life and are very comfortable to wear for long periods at a time ->I was honestly surprised by anker soundcore. My wife stole my Buds live so I got her soundcore. They are surprisingly good for their price.
r/S22Ultra • Seeking best earbuds for cancelling noise - what is your pick? ->The Anker Soundcore A40’s are on sale right now on Amazon for under $60. I like them a lot… great noise canceling and the sound with their HearID test is really good for the money (I hate the “stem” style earbuds, so that’s another plus for me).
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds for under 60$? ->I would probably recommend the space a40 just because it's almost as cheap as the CMF by nothing butts pro 2 but has like twice the battery life and has a better EQ. So if you don't like the sound out of the box you can still get a sound you like out of it.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed 1 year of wireless earbuds recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024–2025). These are the top 25 ones. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
