I am using Edifier W240TN, overall it was satisfactory with NC and basses was not bad, but this button type earbuds hurt my ear and tend to drop a lot so now I am looking for a budget bass buds earbuds with dunno how it is categorized but i want it to have its overhang like regular earbuds (e.g. like apple's). i have also read some articles and video benchmarks and came up with a list of sorts. But i think noise cancellation is important to feel the bass in my ear drums so my cheapest option seems like don't have it. Can you please give me a feedback from my list or suggest another brand etc ? Here is the List from cheap to expensive. Skullcandy Smokin Buds S2TAW-R740 TWS CMF Buds 2a ANC TWS Anker SoundCore P40i ANC TWS Anker SoundCore Life P3 TWS CMF Buds Pro 2 ANC TWS Anker SoundCore Liberty 4 NC TWS JBL Live Pro 2 TWS Nothing Ear A TWS Nothing Ear ANC TWS Anker SoundCore Liberty 4 Pro ANC TWS P.S. I can push my budget limit a bit further if it is really worth the difference but from what i have read for casual music listening, tv shows andmovies and some voice calls, i wont really notice that much of a difference and e.g. the airpods pro 3 is triple the vaşue of the most expensive one in my list where i live. Cheers in advance Edit: Also have my own thread here; [https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1nvkh0b/budget\_bassbud\_selection\_help/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1nvkh0b/budget_bassbud_selection_help/)
ohh, my edifier w240tn, its like 3 years old now, still strong!!! I buy one last year, until it discontinued. Sad
I have some Edifier earbuds that work really well with the Steam Deck…although it looks like they don’t make my model anymore. (W240TN) The current version seems to be the Edifier X5 Lite (My previous comment was auto deleted due to the Amazon link, but they should be easy enough to find.)
Got edifier w240tn for R1000, very happy with them but they easily fall out your ear if you move around or eat...
I got Edifier W240TN for under R1K, amazing sound quality with good noise cancelation. Only issue is you can't do exercise in them as they will fall out
I’ll say go for the Edifier W240TN, it’s currently what I’m using and the sound is amazing, the fit is good for me but after a while you do feel it in your ears and the battery life is average ngl, I can get up to 6 hours with it. The noise cancellation is average and with loud humming sound you do hear a hissing sound.
