It's strange how underrated these buds are. I have been eyeing them for months after borrowing from a friend - they really are so well-rounded. Will be grabbing a pair on the next sale.

Samsung buds 2 pro or 3 pro or bose quiet comfort second gen (if you find them at offer theyre the best pick)

I had the quietcomfort earbuds gen 2 I gave them back the anc wasnt worth the sound quality tradeoff. Im considering the liberty 5 but call quality samples are steering me towards oneplus because that basswave tech. Honestly its between earfun and oneplus but earfun apparently has the better anc compared to oneplus according to pickyaudio on youtube. But I'd love to see for myself. For reference my daily drivers are Technics Az100s and Status Pro x.

I tried Bose QC 2nd gens and gave up after 24 hours because they had so many connectivity and touch control issues. So disappointing.

I have these but they are glitchy af when trying to use for work on laptop. Keep disconnecting or one ear shuts off. I’m sending back.

Soundcore liberty 4 pro: I keep them in my purse, only use them with my phone at lunch, when I eat out of the office, and for calls. Soundpeats Capsule 3 pro+: I got them mainly because I was intrigued by xmems drivers, I use them only at home when I'm cleaning and doing things in the apartment. Airpods gen 2: it's my old pair, I don't use them much anymore, but I keep them also in my purse. Bose quiet comfort gen 2 earbuds: These were a gift from my dad, I use them in bed to help me fall asleep, movie trailers sound great on those as well. I also have two headphones from Sony: XM5's: these I use at the gym only. XM4: I had these for a while, but I haven't been using them much until not so long ago when I replaced the ear pads, so now they feel great again. The XM4's I've been taking to work, and also use them when I'm consuming media or watching movies/shows at home, they are super comfy. I know it's crazy,

Sent the Bose QC2 back after couple of days, no app connectivity and constant dropouts. Shame, sound was good and fit perfect. Very happy now with Technics AZ100 🙏
