CMF Buds 2a. $20 on prime day. But you have to choose the black ones. https://a.co/d/2ToKSAS
Haha my samsung buds just died, i replaced https://preview.redd.it/aknuj1y92wgg1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e7d37130e8f99f5be14838b7fc1840f85fe5f3f them with nothing buds. Can recommend! Very customisable options and they’re a pretty green 💚
I have the nothing buds i enjoy them comfort is 10/10 sound 10/10 they don’t fall out when working out. The only caveat I have is that they randomly pause not too sure why sometimes it happens once ever 45 seconds sometimes it doesn’t happen at all I noticed someone in the reviews saying the same thing but I also have a kind of old phone so.
Even years later the Nothing buds doesn't fail to impress me by their design.
Ok I had a similar thing when mine got slightly damp from sweating while running. The capacitive touch controls stop working properly in the presence of moisture.
Recently ordered the Nothing, Galaxy Buds, and Liberty 4 Pro together to compare. Kept the Galaxy Buds, returned the others. Was a tough choice to return the Nothing Buds - I actually preferred the sound on them to the others - but Samsungs were better for call quality and NC. Liberty was my least favorite for sound quality, but great for calls and 2nd best NC. I liked the screen on the case, but didn't actually use it much. In the end the Galaxy Buds won in part because they have the most compact case. Super portable.
Out of these? The nothing buds are pretty good! If you can spend a bit more look at the AZ-100s. Absolutely insane how good they are
I have Bose Quiet comfort IIs - really great noise cancelling, and I love how they keep the fun going because they always make it a point to turn noise cancelling on after you wear them. So every time you wear them they build a little bit of loyalty, brilliant marketing. But they just stopped charging. Not always, they always give you hope because if the stars align they work. But 1 in 5 times they pull a sneaky on me, then I'm there, ready to run but with no headphones to run with. So I bought a pair of cheap Nothing buds and I now carry two pairs with me, like a fool. Goes without saying that I'll never give them another cent.
