NeoBuds Pro 2

For me they don't. They always get dirty and the sound deteriorates after 6 months to a year. It is almost impossible to clean them properly. It happend to my Airpods 2e, samsung buds 2 pro and now edifier neo buds pro 2.

Anecdotal information but for earbuds. I bought a RM300+ Edifier Neobuds a few years ago which recently went bust. I bought a few replacements in the sub RM150 range and they all disappoint and I'm not willing to spend a few hundred more on brands I'm not sure I'll like. So I went and bought the Neobuds 2 and was happy with it.

I bought the following on Amazon, tested all of them (audiophile obsession level), then returned all but kept one: HiFiman Svanar Wireless Audio technica AZ80 Denon Perl Pro Edifier Stax Spirit S10 Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 SoundPEATS Capsule 3 Pro+ SoundPEATS Air5 My top 3 were Denon Perl Pro (please go for this one and you won't be disappointed), AZ80, & Svanar Wireless (this is one of the best sounding along with the AZ80 & Denon, but the Svanar has issues with dropping on Android phones, and the battery life is dogshit)

I'm not sure. Is this with ANC on? I have a 4-year-old pair of Neo buds pro and they are like on 30 minutes of battery. I got the oppo enco free 4/OnePlus buds on the way.

Man, check out edifier, the are always cooking with earbuds! I personally have used neobuds pro for 3 years but the battery went kaput, now I am using edifier neobuds plus and they are sick

Edifier Neobuds Pro probably costs a bit more than $100, but from my own experience, its ANC reaches maybe 80%~90% of the best of the best but much more expensive Bose QC Ultra (buds). I actually tested both of these on the plane, along with Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 pro. The galaxy buds 2 pro ANC just seem non-existent compared to those two. It's it's also worth mentioning, the Bose QC Ultra ANC is just out of this world. It just seems to work differently from any other buds, and it just makes me feel the passive isolation doesn't do anything as the Bose but doesn't even go deep into the ears. The fact this Edifier could go this far with ANC while working more like other non-bose brands (and remains comfortable to wear) is amazing to me as well. And music sounds better on the edifier than on the Bose to me. Too bad my edifier right bud broke just after one year of use.

If you value ANC capability the most, I don't think anything else could compete with Bose QC Ultra. Somehow its ANC just works differently from the others. I've compared it to most of what you listed. And it doesn't even need to fit tightly. It could be very comfortable or even a bit loose and the ANC is still rock solid. Its ANC actually gives me a wow factor. Before I tried Bose QC Ultra, I thought my Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 pro ANC was somewhat effective for low frequencies (ineffective for mid frequency like human voice). But after I got the Bose, I no longer feel its effectiveness at all. The downside with the Bose is its app. I think it's bugged as it made me suddenly lose connection to the buds multiple times. Deleting the Bose app solved the problem. Galaxy Buds2 pro excels at sound quality of music though IMO. The ANC of the very cheap Edifier Neobuds pro is much more effective than the Samsung, and maybe 80% of the Bose, so it's definitely a very good budget pick. The edifier sounds quite good to me too.
