Buds 3

If you can find them for the price, Method 360 ANC. Theyre 99 bucks for a introductory price right now. Earfun Air Pro 4 and OnePlus Buds 3 and Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are also good contenders.

I have had sony xm5, one bud plus 3, sennheiser momentum 4, technics az80, beats studio buds, air pods, and soundcore liberty 3 pros and liberty 4 noise cancelling. i’ve borrowed a friend’s b&o with the soundcore

Initial listen, They were “fun”. Nice and lively, enhanced highs and bass. But after a while I became fatigued with them. An analogy could be like how tv manufacturers crank up the contrast settings for displaying the tvs in a showroom… but those settings are just overdone when you get the tv settled in to your home.

huawei freebuds pro 4, imho is the best. next is oppo enco x3i or oneplus buds 3

i have enco x3i. anc is amazing. i ride train every weekend. no complain from my wife. we usually on call for 6 hours while i was on train. my voices are clear but huawei freebuds pro 4 is better. trains noise factor is higher than busy street noise. oppo enco x3i = oneplus buds 3 (same product just different name) i bought huawei for 127usd and oppo for 67usd. i have also use others such as buds fe, liberty 4 nc. not good, voices are not clear. buds fe received very high rating for phone calls in rtings.com, but imho avoid, its bad. i bought 2, believing online review are dependable. on my search for clear call, now i owns, 2x buds fe, enco x3i, liberty 4 nc, buds pro, fiio utws5, 2x huawei freebuds pro 4. (so far huawei 0 complain) 🤣

Mines been similar but not the same... I too bought it on release...... Working perfectly fine even after shit ton of abuse..... But abused enough(the shape is not fit for my ear for workouts so it kept falling during workouts) and due to making it fall again and again the left earpiece's internal speakers glue got loose and now I can head it working but due it it not being in its place it sounds off...

Just started to use OnePlus Buds 3 about 2 - 3 weeks ago. The experience so far has been nice. ANC is great. I'm using the moderate ANC, yet it's good enough to suppress the noise you experience during busy bus rides.

If you can go above your budget a bit I think you'd be happier in the long run. I bought the One Plus buds 3. I had the OG Galaxy buds Pros and noise cancellation sucked. I was gonna buy the Sony XM5s for around 10k but decided not to so I could buy a standing desk and another pair of buds for cheaper. These buds punch above their weight class. They're pretty comfy to wear. When you turn on ANC, the world just goes silent (almost silent), I can't hear my aircon anymore or fan. Weird feeling to have the fan blow on me without noise lol. But outside like when I jog, I can still hear a bit of road noise even with ANC so it's not 100% noise cancellation but I guess it's a good thing (for safety reasons). But with ANC on, I don't have to play music at full volume, it sounds loud enough na at like 40% because it drowns out most of the outside noise anyways. The main reason I got it was also because of the battery life. Lasts like 6+ hrs with ANC on. And much longer with it off.

The oneplus buds 3 and 4 don't disappoint whatsoever
