Not the Shokz ones, that's for sure. I actually \*like\* music. (Just lolz!) Kidding aside, I'm wildly fussy when it comes to earbuds. I've had some more expensive ones like Jabra Elites and others, but they always fail within a year, and I have truthfully never found anything better sounding and longer lasting through daily sweat, snow, and accidental washing/drying than the lowly $25 JLAB GO POP+. YMMV of course. I OTOH will die on this hill.
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.
I think JLab Go Pop+ True Wireless Earbuds (or similar budget JLab buds) are honestly solid for daily use if you don’t want to drop more cash, they sound good enough for music, podcasts, and workouts at that price.
These are okay for the price, great battery life [j lab go pop](https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/jlab-go-pop-true-wireless-earbuds-black)
