I bought the soundcore open ear buds (so no band) and really like them, especially for the price compared to Shokz! From my research, sound quality with open ear/bone conduction will never be as good as traditional buds, so I went with a cheaper option and am very happy with them!

Agree on their pricing. I love my soundcore buds but battery life had dropped off too. I do use my $30 sound core open ears for the office and around the house but needed cheap anc buds for short flights where I don't want to carry my over the ears. I do love the wings on the liberty pro 3 buds tho, really comfy.

Yes. As a brand and their prices, good entry brand sila of you enter the rabbit hole of being an...audiophile. If for Spotify and streaming movies, goods na yan.
