These ones I have
I see. I have the OnePlus buds 4, Earfun Air pro 4, Soundpeats H3, Bose Quietcomfort 2024.
The ANC on OnePlus Buds 4 is quite good. Not sure about the tube though. My usage is more towards office noise. The ANC works great with office noise.
But the best ANC among the 4 earbuds is Bose Quietcomfort 2024.
I have Bose QC (2024), and they're amazing as far as I'm concerned. My partner snores heavily. So much in fact that I have tried several earbuds for ANC and the QuietComfort's without a doubt serve their purpose. And I get a good eight hours. I've heard the Ultras are more or less slightly better. Airpods are alright (only had 2nd gen) but my Bose are the only ones that properly kill high, mid and low end frequencies. Of course your mileage may vary. Some other replies will give you a well rounded idea of what will best suit you.
Wish I could add to that conversation. It does seem with electronics nowadays, the “latest and greatest” really isn’t that. Rather something has quietly been removed or modified from the previous iteration and not everyone loves that kind of change.
I was only able to get these as they were on sale for $129 when I was really looking for another pair of AirPods Pro 2. Thank goodness I spotted these. Just the added eq alone makes it worth it.
Open run pro for outdoor runs when I don’t need ANC. For louder areas I use AirPods Pro 2 (soon 3 ;) ) … I also enjoy running with the Bose QCE (2024) as there is no thumping sound, but I might have killed one side with my sweat, but it was still under warranty and Bose kindly replaced.
Known as Bose QCE (2024) and while they miss the ‘immersion’ mode of the ultras and ANC might be a smidge less, I prefer them for running as I get a more stable fit.
I prefer the Bose QC earbuds 2024 for running over the Ultras, something about the size / weight distribution makes them sit more firmly. I use them with the XL tips and wings that come with the alternate sizing kit (available directly from Bose)
I alternate between the AirPods Pro 3 and the Bose QCE (that stubby 2024 model). They fit the bill and are also very reliable. But for actual race day I use the Shokz open run 2
I used the SoundCore Liberty 4 for years and never liked them, they sounded solid and ANC was decent, but they would *never* stay in my ears, I would lose the ANC seal within minutes, and usually under 60s for right ear.
Recently decided to try out the Bose QC ear buds (Specifically the 2024 refresh, not the Ultras) They were 150USD but have been great, haven't come out of my ears or lost ANC seal a single time and they sound so good that I prefer them over my Sony WXM4 1000 over ear headphones, I love how punchy the bass can get if you like since I'm used to my reference DT1990 Pro headphones at home.
Battery life and mic quality has been great as well.
150USD probably puts these in a category above most of the listed options, but man I wish I had these as a choice back when I got the Soundcore buds.
PS: I wear these for 8 hours at work. (A couple times the full 9 hours through lunch, just taking them out for a few minutes to give them some more charge and to let my ears breath/dry).
They charge quite fast, usually 5-10 mins in the case will get them back up to 90-100% after wearing them for a few hours.

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
