Huawei FreeClip, and I also have the Baseus MC1 Pro. There are also the Baseus XC1, which I heard are a little better than the MC1 Pro, but I haven't personally tried them.

I had them and really like them. I have and daily drive the Baseus MC1 Pro and they are great. The normal MC1 are great too. For "cheap" though, the BC1 are very high quality...and I would actually say they are more comfortable than the MC1 and MC1 Pro, as they squeeze your ear "slightly" less. But if you want a bit better quality than the BC1, go for the MC1, then the MC1 Pro. You probably can't go wrong with any of them.

They have been great for me. I don't use them every day though. I would say I use them a couple hours every 2-3 days. I have no issues. I actually sometimes use them as sleepers as well. They are great for the rain and outdoors, as they have I think the best IP rating of ANY earbuds, like IP67 or something. They are great for everything, even calls. I have no regrets getting them. I have 3 other earbuds I switch between on a daily basis. The Huawei FreeClip (the OG clip-style...still only 2nd to the FreeClip 2....amazing)...the Technics AZ100 and the Huawei Freebuds Pro 4. All are amazing, but good luck getting anything Huawei in the US right now. The MC1 Pro are great, and I have highly considered the Baseus XC1s, but I already have 4 earbuds I use on a regular, so I haven't gotten them yet.

Maybe you should try some "Clip" style buds if you don't even care about ANC and just want the best "transparency". Once I got the Huawei FreeClip about 8 months ago, they have been my daily drivers. I use them by FAR more than my normal ANC earbuds, and I have the Technics AZ100, Huawei Freebuds Pro 4, and many others. The Clip style really took off last year, and you can get some great ones for about $100 or less now, as well. I also have the Baseus MC1 Pro, which last forever (like 9+ hours) and have great call quality, sound, and won't budge on your ears. The FreeClip are the best (and the FreeClip 2 just came out as well) but they are difficult to get if you are in the US.

baseus Bowie mc1 pro I've had them I've had the inspire and the mc1 and I've been happy with both for their price the sound on the inspire is slightly better but for what you are paying on t mc1 pro is awesome

Baseus mc1 pro would be the best bang for your buck. I had and lost the pros and then got the inspire since it was on sale and although the inspire are better I would probably buy the pro if I was buying again

The boost in sound quality is minor and the price increase isn't. the inspire are good and in a vacuum better but when price is factored in the mc1 pro gives you far more for you Money
