I had samsung buds 3 non pro, huawei freebuds se 3..
I can comment on Freebuds SE3, Oppo Enco Buds3 and Soundpeats Air5 (non pro) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1noqlbl/comment/nswtesd/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1noqlbl/comment/nswtesd/) \- Soundpeat Air 5 have ANC, but i barely use this as it only filters certain background noises and eats battery. \- For Aptx Lossless you need a compatibel Snapdragon/Aptx device. Most Windows devices can support Aptx with a registery tweak, as AAC is default, but most certainly not Aptx Lossless. You'll need a seperate -Bluetooth dongle with Aptx for this. \- Soundpeats have about realworld 5 hour battery-life without ANC. Good luck with your choice.
I have the Se 3 from Huawei the most basic model and yes they sound great.
I have Nothing's and they are super lite and comfortable for long time use. The OnePlus I use them to, my brother has them and the are firm and comfy too I think the Huawei are the most comfortable, because the cone with 6 pairs of eartips 3 silicón and 3 memory foam, so for sure you have to find the size and material that fits you the best.
I have the sony wf-1000xm4 but it's really bad it battery and microphone and i bought huawei freebuds se 3 it's amazing for the battery and microphone really good compared to other's and cheap
If you don't want ANC and no eartips, go with huawei freebuds SE3. Got 1 brand new for like $25, use 6-8hr/days and case got me full 5 working days
Yes they are call semi inears ie. earbuds without silicon/foam tips. The main negative is one loses bass or I call it 'body' which makes the buds sound thin. In general, semi's cant compare to seal buds with tips for bass & hence, its a trade off in bass for comfort. Plus ANC is also mostly useless, no matter the mfgr's claims, with 1 single exception, the Airpods 4 ANC That said, there are a few semi's on the market with a more balanced sound. I highly recco the Tozo T21 Tonal Fits. Out of the box they sound pretty good with some bottom thud (for semi's). A bit of burn in did tighten up the bass & smoothed out the highs, somewhat. I still find it somewhat veiled sounding but hey, for the money & for very casual usage, its very doable. Bonus is volume levels are well, next level. Its possible to drown out ambient noise thru increasing vol alone. I like my to listen fairly loud & I struggle to get to 50-60% vol If you want more sparkly highs, the Oppo Enco Air 3 is good. If you're hypersensitive to sibilance, the Huawei Freebuds SE 2 or 3 are also very good. Both loses some bass to the Tozo but inreturn, we get a more refined & resolving sound with better quality bass If you've the budget & want ANC, the Airpods 4 ANC might be your only choice atm. I'm very surprised how well ANC works on it
Huawei Freebuds SE 2 can be grabbed from AliExpress for peanuts and they are very good. They have like 9h battery not 4h. Same with the SE 3 that are basically the same. Oppo Enco 4 New Sound Edition is also excellent and I can recommend. I probably prefer both of these to AirPods in terms of sound.
I recommend Huawei Freebuds SE2/3 pasok sa budget and matagal ma lowbatt and may noise cancellation
