On a budget Moondrop space Travel are good. I owned the OG ver but they have made 2.0 and 2.0 Ultra which is apparently much better.

Moondrop have excellent budget earbuds. Space Travel 2 Ultra are the pair I've used before with nice results. Tozo NC9 we're on sale in Amazon for less than 30$. I've heard a lot of people enjoy their experience with the P30i and P31i, but I've not used them. Seem like a solid option at that price though.
Moondrop space travel 2 Ultra. The Sound quality for the price probably.
I think you’re going to get much better bang for your buck from earbuds, though some people don’t like the way they fit and the battery life is generally worse than traditional headphones. I have a pair of Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo which I bought way back in 2020 for $50, but they are no longer sold. The Soundcore brand has several models for under $40. I think these would be a safe bet. https://amzn.asia/d/3tePbzr I recently bought the Moondrop Space Travel 2 Ultra which I’d read very good things about, but I prefer the old Ankers as they are more fun to listen to as they have more bass. I will keep them but just use them for podcasts when doing housework.
Well, I bought the moondrop already. Good thing they're cheap. Let's see just how good it sounds.
I don't recommend the Space Travel 1 at all now. It has almost 0 app support. The Space Travel 2 has succeeded it nicely, though it has a darker tuning. It also has much more features with the companion app including DSP and changing the volume of or disabling the voice prompt, in addition to configuring touch controls. The Space Travel 2 Ultra isn't really worth it over the 2, it has LDAC support but that locks out the DSP options and is a little janky.

no, get the moondrop space travel 2 or 2 ultra (depending on your budget) instead
the 2 ultra is better than the 2 but both sounds decent
can't have them all (only lacking the in/out of ear sensor), but get the moondrop space travel 2 ultra
moondrop space travel 2 ultra, it's made by an actual audio gear company that is very well known in the audiophile community, they know what they're doing with their audio products
moondrop robin and space travel 2 ultra if we are talking sound quality, airpods pro 3 and sony wf-1000xm6 if we are talking anc
moondrop is a very well known brand in the audiophile community, spend like 10 minutes at r/iems and u'll see the sheer amount of posts and comments mentioning moondrop. They're definitely a mainstream brand, just not to the average consumer. And their products usually provide very good value while not compromising on sound quality. The space travel 2 ultra is 30-40 dollars and the robin is around 90
psrsonally i like the st2 ultra more because separation is better and it has peq support. For me the st2 ultra is the best at its price point, but ofc, the robin just absolutely smokes them all cuz it's over double the price
none of them, get the moondrop space travel 2 ultra instead. it has better sound quality than all of your options
i'm gonna leave the iems with bluetooth earhooks at the end and out of the rankings since that's kinda just a frankenstein thing i like to do (works very well tho). best sounding tws for me goes to the az100 and the robin, and best overall would be a 3 way tie between the xm6, az100, and robin. The az100 relys on spatial audio (dolby atmos) to create the soundstage, and it's really well done, tuning isn't to my taste so i had to mess around with the eq, but after eqing it, it sounds pretty good. The robin has a natural holographic soundstage without using dolby atmos so everything sounds nice, even plain stereo mixes sound spacious. The tuning is great, but i did end up eqing it myself. I'm a huge sucker for in ears with DDs for bass and planars for vocals and air, and the robin is exactly that. That's probably why i like it so much The xm6 is my "put it on and go deaf" tws, the noise isolation is insanely good, the sound quality is nice tho i did have to apply some pretty aggressive eq for it to not be a mud cannon. Now for my frankenstein tws, my favorite is the aroma audio jewel with the fiio utws5. I usually use the jewel with the cable, but sometimes i put the utws5 on and use it as an earbud when i'm doing chores. insanely good quality (as expected from the price) and noise cancellation+isolation (because it's a custom and the utws5 has anc). If u want a setup with good audio quality for around 300 dollars, the tanchjim fola + fiio utws5 is probably the best choice u have. U get an insanely wide soundstage, very good vocals, and the clarity of an iem but with wireless convenience
no, get the moondrop space travel 2 or 2 ultra (depending on your budget) instead
the 2 ultra is better than the 2 but both sounds decent
I've used mine in heavy rain and they're fine (i didn't have an umbrella so i was soaked)
so go into the app, then enter the space travel 2's ui, then click the dsp option, then click advanced mode, then click target, then scroll down and find the moondrop psyche, then choose the psyche, then press auto eq
a bit over 5 hours of continous playback with anc on (7 hours with anc off) in my experience, the best sound quality in your price point, and proper peq support
moondrop golden ages 2, i have a few moondrop tws, they all last a long time. my original space travel I bought in early 2024 still works perfectly fine and has decent battery
Wired iems for 50 bucks will sound better. But if you need wireless anc the new moondrop space travel are solid
