"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."

"The fit, comfort, sound, and ANC are the best I've experienced. ... all the rest have markedly inferior ANC."
"Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds had the best ANC overall. ... On a plane, they blocked out engine noise almost completely, and even in noisy cafés, they handled voices really well."
"Bose QC Ultra Earbuds are on another level when it comes to noise cancellation ... They help me stay laser focused puts me in another world by myself."

"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."
"Artti T10 is best buy if we take prices into consideration ... T10 are crazy value, they're at least 95% as good as S08 and cost quite a bit less ... T10 is so good value that price to performance ratio with them is better than any cheaper IEM, not just the more expensive ones"

"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."
"Used them on a 50k without having to recharge."

"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)"
"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."
"When on a call everyone i have spoken to via the earbuds so far say they can hear the background noise more than me rendering these useless for calls. I mainly use it on walks and in pubic transport. People just hear the bus noise or the cars on the road."

"every 60 seconds or so it shrieked for a couple of seconds in an electric staticy kinda way."
"It also randomly turns anc mode off and on by itself. ... IT JUST HAPPENED RIGHT NOW THEY TURNED OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES 😭😭😭 these shit suck they turned off and on 5 times these shits are ass don’t get em total waste of money"
"very disappointed with the anc ... its not worth calling it a anc"

"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."

"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."
"Only thing is that their touch controls are pretty bad"
"wish the buds were more touch responsive"
0ldGoat 1.0Sony WF-C700N might be within your budget. They're very good, too. The Soundcore A40 are excellent though.
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.
3rdworldjesus 1.0I used Soundcore Space A40 extensively before. Ngayon, i have a separate mic and designated the A40 as the work earbuds.
AbjectTutor2093 1.0If 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
Additional-Low-69 1.0Try the Space A40. About $60 but longer battery and smaller so you can side sleep. Tons of features.
Affectionate_Try_836 1.0Soundcore 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
AhRealMonstar 1.0The 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.
airsign 1.0bluetooth? 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.
alexblablabla1123 1.0I have the A40 for more than a year. Works fine and ANC is good. I do try to limit my wear time since I already wear earplugs for sleep.... But I WFH with a baby... Honestly from looking at reviews it seems ANC doesn't work much against baby cries... mostly from passive isolation
aljustiet 1.0battery is shit after 2 years. Dies after maximum after 2 hours.
AlsoARobot 1.0The 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).
