Moondrop - ALICE

I do you use noise cancelling, but my favorite buds, the best sounding ones, are all without ANC.. I love my Soundpeats H1 , my Final audio SE300 and my Moondrop Alice (the last ones are a bit on the uncomfortable side, but the Kato drivers inside are just amazing), all of those are a bit old so maybe you can look for them on the second hand market..

Moondrop TWS earbuds are generally okay to good for the price. One main complaint i have is the poorly made app (it's even worse in the old app before they rebuilt it)

Get yourself some Moondrop’s. They’re like $25 on amazon, and they’re great quality

This is marketing and brand reach doing what it does best. There are plenty of brands doing great things in the market that aren't getting a lot of attention. JLAB's Epic Lab earbuds were fantastic; JBL, Moondrop, Nothing Ear, SoundPeats, numerous other brands tested very well against the top of my list, which consisted of the Denon Perl Pro, Technics AZ80, Sennheiser True Wireless Momentum 4, Sony XM5, AirPods Pro, B&W Pi7 S2 and Pi8. I have the AZ100s on the way, and I'm sure they'll occupy one of those top spots. It's important to note, however, that many of these brands do not need to push as many units to remain successful. At the economies of scale companies like Sony, Sennheiser, and Bose are operating at, the investment into their production, distribution, customer service, and operations pipelines is immense. They are likely expecting to sell tens of thousands of units, to the thousands that other brands need to turn a profit. And while you may see those more prolific brands everywhere, don't forget the communities of people on social media platforms that regularly market and recommend the opposing brands. They're not as common, but that's to be expected and will remain that way by nature. In other words, while the popular brands may be ubiquitous, that is by design. It doesn't mean opposing manufacturers are on a downward trajectory. This was the assumption when Jabra cancelled its TWS ANC lineup, and that may have been part of the decision, but Jabra had other, more profitable interests and chose to constrain their business goals around those interests because there was more opportunity there. As someone that's tested dozens of ANC earbuds (and has a wide ranging collection of dedicated, wired IEMs), I have very few biases when it comes to competing brands. If it works well, I'll use the thing. I have no qualms recommending a pair of Soundcore VR P10s, right alongside top-tier TWS sets if I think it fits the individual's use case. Recently, I took a long flight overseas and left all the other major TWS brands behind and took a cheap pair of PortaPros and a $20 pair of Aliexpress stem-style earbuds with me. Everyone else on the plane was wearing AirPods.

I use them for the gym and I have had no problems yet. Though as someone that listens on a low-mid volume, the ANC is ok, but not good enough. They also get looser over time in my ears so I have to push them in more a few times every session. That could just be my earcanals though.

I bought them to take to Thailand after my nothing eat 1s started to come unglued. That was a year ago last November. Still use them. Very good for the price

Best cheap earbud by miles.

I had the same problem with qcy and moondrop but not with soundcore my pair is going flawless for 3 years already
