raycon everyday earbuds. They are discreet (no one can see them under my hair) and last over 8 hours. I've been using mine for over 2 years. The best!
I use raycon everyday earbuds about $65 great sound great battery life and active noise reduction
i love my raycon everyday earbuds, especially for work or working out
Raycon Everyday Buds were my default for years. One bud lasts 8-10 hours in my experience and they still have a physical button for controls. Smaller than most so better for sleeping imo
You mentioned!! They forgot to read! I haven’t tried mine on the deck yet, but they are an awesome sound, easy use & more inline with your budget on Amazon (tho I hate Bezos & his treatment of workers) as well on their website. I use “Everyday ears buds” by “Raycon” I paid $50 usd a couple years ago. Not much help though am I? Still above your budget I know
I’ve used two brands so far, both of which are under $150. I’ve used the Raycon Everyday Earbuds and they have good sound quality and are pretty comfy, however after a year or two you’re expected to run into some issues. However I was able to get a replacement pair while only being 2 months over my warranty, so the customer support is good. I came here for a recommendation while I waited for my free replacement to be processed, and I got the Soundcore P31i which at the time was $37 on Amazon. The Sound Quality was on par if not better than the Raycons, and has an app to configure everything and update firmware/restart them. The Audio Quality is pretty amazing and you can configure the sound profile to your ear to through the app.
I say go with raycon everyday earbuds
What is your budget? You could grab some RayCon Everyday buds, for about $60. You get high end buds at a cheaper price. My first pair of RayCon are still going and they are about 5-6 years old. Otherwise, just look on Amazon and find a pair that has at least 1,000 reviews. If they are 4.5 stars or higher, then they are probably good.
