I just saw there’s a Vibe Buds 2 that solved all the problems the original Vibe Buds had. They now have ANC, multipoint and a more stable fit than the Tune Buds. AND they are still on sale for Prime Days at $40 USD instead of $64.

I first got the Vibe Buds. They don’t have a lid, but the magnet that keeps the buds in place is STRONG. My only knock on them is that they were not multipoint. I then got the Tune Buds. The Tune Buds have a lid that closes, multipoint, and a larger surface for touch controls. The Tune Buds have ANC as well whereas the Vibe Buds do not. Neither is particularly good in the gym unfortunately. You’ll want something with ear hooks for that.

That REALLY depends on how active you are versus the probability of them falling out of your ear. I have three earbud sets. The first one I got were the JBL Vibe Buds. They were good, but they didn’t have multipoint. That meant I couldn’t have them connected with both iPhone and AppleWatch. Then I went with the JBL Tune Buds. Multipoint, but had to keep readjusting them because they felt like they would fall out of my right ear. Finally got the Skullcandy Push ANC Active. It’s got earhooks so they are not falling out. The caveat is that the connection can be spotty for two seconds before they correct themselves. Small problem to have when working out, in all honesty.

I don't care, I'm not even diagnosed and I will even wear them in class if I need to, have been doing so since I was in fourth grade, always got away with it because I have long hair which covered the wires (back when there were only wired earphones, also I didn't had any kind of accomodations because I wasn't diagnosed so I could've gotten in trouble because of it). This year I got my first pair of ANC earphones and they're a big difference, I don't know if they're better or worse then the avarge ANC earphones but they're what I could afford (JBL Wave Buds 2).

I have had the jbl wave buds 2 for a year now and so far so good. My only issue that they’re constantly falling out of my ears like all other buds 🤦🏽‍♀️

I like the JBL Vibe Buds 2, you can get a case for it on amazon, but i love how it switches back and forth between my surface pro tablet and my iphone without connecting and disconnecting 💅🏿 and the noise cancellation helps v well with annoying ass kids coming to try and talk to me 😒 so while they think i can, i cannot. (the kids are not mine nor do i know them, but my silence peaks their curiosity?) but earphones, i got mine around $70 [JBL (bestbuy)](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/jbl-vibe-buds-2-noise-cancelling-earbuds-2025-black/J7LXFWXF8R/sku/6611537?utm_source=feed&extStoreId=768&ref=212&loc=19550102804&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19542626784&gbraid=0AAAAAD-ORIhEd_NFD5TLtxEpkCBsN3JVd&gclid=Cj0KCQiAp-zLBhDkARIsABcYc6uV5LOrMCN-uuAtgk9fjf1G5a8yS8UlPhheSTm-uX3nvqq6BTrU_oEaAnWtEALw_wcB)

https://a.co/d/1kF90pz I've had these a few years. One bud lasts about 5-6 hours. Everyone hears me fine when I'm on the phone

if you want premium sound and anc go for sony linkbuds clip wf‑lc900. for solid everyday use with long battery jbl vibe buds are great. if you want a reliable mid‑range option tozo nc9 works really well.

If you just want good everyday buds without overspending, I’d look at JBL Vibe Buds or JLab GO Air POP. JBL gives you a more balanced sound that works great for vocals and instruments, while JLab is super budget-friendly, punchy, and has surprisingly long battery life. Both are solid “no regrets” picks under $50. Before you pull the trigger, check them out first at [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co) to see which one fits your style best.

I recently got a pair of JBL Vibe buds that were on sale at Best Buy. They have different settings for noise cancelling when you have both buds in. It allows you to control how much outside sound you want to hear. I've had bikers and skateboarders clip me from behind while passing on walks, so I find it beneficial to be more aware of my surroundings while still enjoying my music/audiobook/tv show audio.
