Reddit Reviews
I've reviewed a few on my channel that fall into the 'budget but decent' category - [Moondrop Pill](https://youtu.be/XBp8UmOa6iU) for ear clips or even [QCY Crossky C30](https://youtu.be/_V3GJkXoN5w). For ear-hook style [FIIL GS](https://youtu.be/i2NVYwaV6Lg) were surprisingly good, and I've been using Soundpeats GoFree2 for ages now and they never let me down. I also sleep using ear hooks for drifting off to podcasts, and have been using the Soundpeats for that more than exercise, but they do the job. I saw you have experience with Huawei - I actually use their FreeArc for running as my main pair, but they aren't light years ahead of the budget sets. For mid-tier ANC, there aren't huge differences between OnePlus, Earfun, Soundpeats, Realme etc, it still come mostly down to preferred tuning style. I include sound samples in all my reviews (and ANC samples) so I'd say listen to a few of them and judge what sounds best to you, and decide from there.
