"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"I use it for the same reasons and love it. ... I would not consider the regular Apple Watch because of battery life."
"the battery life easily lasts 10+ hours."

"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"
"How much of a difference does a little 5 ohm impedance bump make? A whole hell of a lot actually. ... we get a HUGE bass boost in the balance of this IEM, running into the mid range and smoothing out the treble. If you add foam tips into the equation, what you get is a bassy, new meta-like sound with a much fuller mid bass and lower mid range, making for much richer male vocals while eliminating Harman shout and spice. Once adapted, the set has a much more pronounced mid bass kick and texture, and will satisfy a fair amount of bassheads. ... All in all, the adapter makes it sound like a completely different IEM, and that makes for a pretty versatile, choose-your-own-adventure style experience."
"I struggle to tell the difference between them and "premium" buds that cost 3 or 4 times more, so I just stick with these. ... I auditioned these between Bose QC 2024, Pixel Buds Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 and I can't really tell the difference. ... certainly not enough to make me pay 4x as much."

"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"after heavy and extreme and I mean extreme use in a very dirty environment, after a year the range suddenly cut down... I felt like I'd gotten my measly 20ish buck worth from them and didn't fault jlab due to the extreme circumstances I used them in daily. ... I work in a hot asa filthy steel mill and the fact they lasted a year was impressive to me."
"My old Breville lasted 10-11 years ... I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it."

"QC issues, on my 2nd pair and they have a strange white noise that occurs randomly. ... First pair left earbud white noise was bad and had to return. ... 2nd pair same left earbud white noise and I’ve returned them. All happened within a week of light use."
"every 60 seconds or so it shrieked for a couple of seconds in an electric staticy kinda way."
"the Tea Pro are absolutely terrible. ... I couldn't sell them quick enough. ... Utter dogshit & not 10% as good as the Tea 2. ... utter crap with horrific mids, dreadful bass & terrible treble"

"The sound coming from the TOZOs sounded "anemic as fuck" and I couldn't get them to sound anywhere as loud and powerful as the others."
"The nc9 had no volume or bass even after adjusting the eq,"
"found them very quiet ... On my PC or on my IPhone."

"I had the same problem and returned them."
"Yeah mine hit the ground a ton. ... after my ride one hit the ground in tall grass and I can’t find it."

"The only thing I really hate is the fact they are touch and not a push button. When I run I wipe my face with a towel and it keeps pushing the buttons."
"The touch sensitivity on the buds is insane. ... I wish there was a way to lower it without turning it off entirely. ... Went for a run during some light rain. My wet hair kept setting off the assistant and pausing the music."
"Only complaint is the touch pad on the ear bud causes songs to skip or pause when I need to adjust it while I'm in the gym. ... Seems impossible to touch it at all without activating some kind of control."

"My only complaint is you cannot turn them on and off without the case, because they have no buttons."
As someone with a pair of the JLab Go Air Pop, if you just want earbuds for the gym or listening to podcasts or something simple, and don't care about $200 max audio quality earbuds, they are excellent. My only complaint is you cannot turn them on and off without the case, because they have no buttons. But I have used them for five years with no troubles, absolutely worth the money if you want a budget pair, or even want a cheap "backup" to leave in the car for when your regulars die.
I just put my Bose Sports through the wash and regretfully went to JB Hi-Fi expecting to part with $150 - $200. Explained to the guy that I listened to audio books mainly, under ear protection whilst on the tools, but would also use them for the occasional walk, public transport scroll and phone calls whilst pottering around the house. I.e. cheap and cheerful, but do the job. He suggested J Lab Go Air Pop. I was like “ummm are you sure, they’re ONLY $50” and he was adamant that they were the best. I got bright pink ones to spark joy, they have their own USB cord attached (great for me, but maybe not suitable for USB-C or micro users?) and they fully held their charge for the first 4 days of 8 hour use. 2 weeks in, I love them. Oh! They also price matched Harvey Norman at $34. Highly recommend.
The Jlab go air pop is going for R250 at incredible and takealot. My suggestion is that if you budget is about 1000 you can get two or three pairs of different earphones within this range. Keep the best pair as your Daily's and have the others as backup. This is what I do
i use the JLab GO Air Pop wireless earbuds and they work great! super affordable too
Second the J Lab Go Air Pop. I'm currently using these, they've been very reliable and I've had them for almost a year so far.
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.
For under €40, the JLab Go Air Pop is a great option, super affordable, surprisingly clear sound for the price, and really lightweight for daily use. Another solid pick is the TOZO T10, which has a fuller sound with decent bass and a simple, durable design that makes it good for everyday listening. Both of these give you solid bang for your buck, and they’re widely available. If you can, test them out first with [audiotones.co](https://audiotones.co) to check the tunings if any fit your vibes
I have a couple pairs of JLab Go Air Pop earbuds that are inexpensive ($25ish), comfortable, and last a long time. Wear mine like 2/3 of the day and only charge them every 3 or 4 days, if that.
I use a $20 pair of jlab go air pop with mine. They ain’t fancy and they don’t have a cool asus or Samsung logo on them but there’s little to no latency I’ve experienced. You don’t need a $150+ set of ear buds as some folks have suggested lol
Je suis de l'avis que c'est des trucs qui peuvent se perdre donc mieux vaut moins cher pour ne pas pleurer quand c'est perdu. Du coup j'ai cherché et je suis très contente avec les JLab Air Pop. Le son va pas gagner des concours mais c'est tout à fait correct, mais sinon l'autonomie est excellente (je recharge une fois par semaine et peut passer une nuit complète avec du son), ils tiennent bien sachant que je travaille manuellement avec et me servent même de protection pour le bruit. Vraiment rien à en redire et certainement pas ses 25 euros.
Jlab go air pop. 20 bucks at target. Best I’ve had
