I've tried many, all for under 200€ each: the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 (155€), the AZ100 (135€), the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 (170€), and the Sony WH-1000XM5 (105€).
I could make a lengthy review on each one, but to keep things simple, what stood out the most of each:
-Sennheiser returned because didn't fully fit and case is too big.
-AZ1000 returned because left ear hurt.
-Huawei were great, loved them, but who was the genius to propose that to switch ANC to transparency you had to keep pinching with full pressure on the bud for a couple of seconds, rendering useless the function to pay attention to quick things...
-Sony unstable connection, but overall good. Foam tips didn't fit but ordered silicone ones and those did.
For now I'm keeping the Sony's, but if anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears
I have all of these, for me I'd put the Samsung buds 3 pro first for calls simply because when I am speaking it feels the most natural , I don't hear my voice or get watery eyes (I assume this happens to others😁). The noise reduction is not as great as say the Huawei but overall they have been my go to after trying out over 2 dozen buds. Primary use cases are phone calls and Teams meetings, I use them daily.
Not as great as my Huawei's but still excellent, at least that's what I'm told by others I usually have phone and Teams meetings, dialing in from public settings such as an airport. I recently just replaced the pair I ruined and for $100 on sale I find they're excellent for calls / meetings. For music I like my AZ100 .
I only moved on from the Pro 2 because of the poor battery life. I tried the 3, but sound qualiy wise it was a downgrade since Huawei stopped collaborating with Devialet.
I can highly recommend the Huawei Free buds 3 or 4 pro.
Excellent for the price and just in general, plus they whisper to you in Chinese ❤️.
A few others have recommended Edifier and I have a set of speakers from them and they're really good, don't know if they have good buds.
I had good experience with soundocore p3, two years ago tried huawei buds 3 pro and they are extremely uncomfortable and falling out of my ears (oval gums). Now searching for earbuds along your criteria. Will try soundcore 4nc or wait a bit for new releases of this brand unless strong recommendations appear here.
