"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"I forgot I had my fenix on and did a mud run. Didn’t even phase my watch. Literally dragged it through the mud and it just kept going."

"insane battery ... in the morning it's still not drained - and this is on a 6 year old set with worn out batteries. ... The case only needs charged once, maybe twice a month"
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."
"the battery life is phenomenal, it lasts over 10 hours (14-16 for me i think?)"

"They don’t go in your ears at all. they just kind of clip on gently and sit there. ... no pressure ... way more comfy than anything I’ve tried."
"The IEMs really stay in my ears thanks to the free Spring Tips. I shook my head really hard for a few seconds and it didn't fall out my ears."
"just clips on the outside of your ear and feels super light, no pressure at all."

"the fit was terrible for me ... so I returned them"
"I had the same problem and returned them."
"But, notably heavier. ... And man, these being heavy, really makes it hard to keep in the ears. ... I'm finding these are heavy and have a hard time staying in the ear ... I noticed that too. These are the first iem that give me problem with staying in my ears. ... Yea, it's big enough of an issue, that I might resell these. It's frustrating to use them lol ... I never found a set that made them stay perfectly, except for liquid silicone tips, but didn't like the way they sounded ... These are heavy though. Easily double to 2.5x, maybe even 3x the weight of my s12 2024's. TBD on how I feel on that lol."

"poor microphone quality if there is any wind at all."
"Call quality for the mic is debatable but as long as it's not windy it seems to be fine."
The best and most reliable earphones I have are the JLAB GO POP+. I've used them in extreme cold and heat, they've gone through the washer and dryer, and the charge lasts forever. They cost $25 and sound better than almost every more expensive pair I've owned. Runner up would be Jabra Elite Active series for me, but I've killed too many of them with sweat and they cost like 4x the price. To be fair, they always replace them under warranty, but it'd be cool if they didn't break instead. We need to stop pretending Shokz sound anything remotely adjacent to "good." They do not. They serve a purpose, and if that purpose serves you, great, but they do not sound objectively "good" in any sense of the concept as it relates to listening music in the real world. IOW, if you bought any other product to listen to while not running and it sounded like Shokz, you'd assume it was broken.
You said good sound quality. Objectively Shokz are off the table then. They'll allow you to hear your surroundings, but NO ONE is using them because they're the great sound option. I used to say the Jabra Elite series was best. They sound great but they're kind of expensive and I've killed too many of them. My go-to now is JLAB GO POP+. They sound as good as the JABRA and I've put them through the washer and dryer. They cost 20bux.
Thank you! This input helped me out a lot! I ended up going with JLab go pop+ and they fit my ear so much better. They also have a cute see-through plastic retro design.
Jlab go pop+ but going to try shokz when the costo sales starts
Anker soundcore a30i are my favorite right now. Also jlab go pop+, but they don't have the noise canceling. The anker you can find on sale for $20 pretty regularly, and they're the best buds I've ever worn for fit, clarity and noise canceling. And I have probably 30 sets including beats. I had a previous set, and one bud started buzzing. I filled a claim, answered a few questions, and they sent me a replacement set within the week. Customer services was slow to reply to email, like 24 hour responses, but still replaced easily. The next pair has been perfect. I also like the tozo and jlab open ear. And the jlab jbuds mini are the smallest in case I've ever seen, and it fits in my keychain.
My JLab Go Pop+ Bluetooth earbuds have been going strong, picked them up at Ross I think? $20
Jlab Go pop+ I've had them 5 months. I listen to audiobooks with them. I've only had to charge them once in all that time.
Honestly, your budget range is so broad it's confusing. I mean, the Go Pop+ is nearly flawless for its price point to me—it has excellent passive noise cancellation, warm sound quality, and the included charging cable is super convenient. But for just $10 more, the sound quality makes a huge difference.
I work as a welder in industrial construction. I go through earbuds like babe Ruth did chewing tobacco. I’ve run the gamut of super cheap earbuds on Amazon - because why buy expensive ones? they all get thrashed the same. The only two sub $25 ones that I’ve enjoyed, have held up well (all things considered), good battery life and sound halfway decent are the Anker Soundcore p20i and the Jlab Go Air Pop+
I have owned the go air pops, something like 20 bucks , and they were the best earbuds I ever used. But I had only used garbage earbuds so when the sound quality jlab produces floored me.Unfortunately after heavy and extreme and I mean extreme use in a very dirty environment, after a year the range suddenly cut down to the point they wouldn't pick up from my shirt pocket to my ear.. I didn't push jlab for a warranty because 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 immediately went to Walmart and bought some go pop+ buds , these had app access and I could customize the controls and manipulate the sound and other features. I was as satisfied with them as before but the be aware feature removed the need to wear one at a time at work like usual and I was stoked. Battery lasted a 10 hour shift in both pairs. About a week after, I was on the jlab app and seen the mini buds.. these got my attention because my only wish was for them to be smaller. I got my ass in the car went to Walmart, and bought a set. Those tiny things were every bit as good as the bigger ones except my battery went out around 8 hrs. Sometimes I work 12 hours and always work 10, so shit on payday I went and scooped me another pair .. That was about a year ago and the the two mini pairs are still kicking , and I really like them. If they bit the dust tomorrow I'd have another pair by sundown.. I'm sure there's more expensive buds that are better. Jlab probably makes better buds themselves. But in my opinion, for 20-40 bucks the jlab go air pops, go pop +, and jbuds mini can't be beat. I can't speak on their customer service because I didn't try them on the warranty, I work in a hot asa filthy steel mill and the fact they lasted a year was impressive to me. And even so, I think It would have been a dickhead move to push the warranty claim like I'd be using them under normal conditions instead of wearing them for 10 hours a day swimming in sweat in the pits of hell.
Okay, so the smallest fully in ears I have are the Jlab Go Air Pop+, at around $25, they aren't bad for the price. Getting a bit bigger, the Rose Ceramics at around $40, but hard to get hold of now. If you do want good quality, which is fair, the AirPods Pro are great, much better than the base ones. SountPeats T3 Pro, are also smallish stems. Taking things in a more radical direction is the SoundPEATS Q40 those are wireless but have a wire connecting them, they do have hooks, but they come with a variety of sizes, and they are removable. I have had a few specialist, very small buds come through, but most of those are cheap and nasty, so I do not keep hold of them.
