Liked the OnePlus 4s so well I have a pair of 3s coming tomorrow. If you want heart rate monitoring you would want the Airpods 3 pro , they also have superior transparency if that's important to you. I don't have an iPhone so I can't speak intelligently about other iPhone features. I do love all the other features that non apple bring, like tuning or spacial features.
My favorite most recent 4. OnePlus Buds 4, Tozo NC20, Earfun Air pro 4 plus, CMF Buds Pro 2. If you go to YouTube and look for @pickyaudio Picky Audio he has a spreadsheet to sort the order of what are the most important factors to you. I trust his opinion. I still also enjoy the Technics, Bose and Sennheiser flagship models.
I would agree about the OnePlus Buds 4 being better than the CMF Buds Pro 2. Better sound and features. Better EQ, etc . The CMF has a nice volume button, good sound too
Oneplus Buds 4, Earfun Air pro 4 plus, CMF Buds Pro 2. I think they are in order of most to least expensive.
Typical MSRP / going prices OnePlus Buds 4: about 129 USD at launch and commonly listed around that, sometimes dipping under 100 on promo.
EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus: official price about 100 USD.
CMF Buds Pro 2: official price about 59 USD, often discounted into the $45–50 range.
Bonus/Cheapest :
The Moondrop Space Travel 2 are budget-friendly wireless earbuds (approx. $29)
Got them all and like them. The CMF is probably the best bang for the buck. OnePlus is the best best sound to me.
The Earfun Airpro 4+, soundcore space a40 or OnePlus buds 4 would all be good choices.
OnePlus Buds 4 – A newer all‑rounder that does very well on traffic: its ANC “dampens traffic noise very well” and softens both mid and darker sounds in crowded places, while still being under US$100 and positioned as a budget‑friendly option. Some guides note that the EarFun above has an even stronger raw ANC, but the OnePlus is the better overall package if you care about calls and multipoint as well.
I like the Tozo NC20 Pro but it might not have as good Anc as the others.
Why Nord Buds though at this time you can get normal Buds 4 with better ANC or even buds 3 Pro for slightly more
Here in EU they're 79€ and 99€ currently
On AliExpress even cheaper I think 60€ and like 85€
