Buds2

I buy refurbished Galaxy Buds2 every 3-4 years. $50. They work well and I don't need more than what they provide. They can also sit in the case and charge while maintaining connection. Had a pair of similar Soundcores which sounded tinny, starting having connection problems after 20 days, and multi-point was more headache than it's worth.

Based on experience, samsung Buds 2 is REALLY good if you're just a casual user. Grabe kasi ang tagal na ng buds ko pero perfectly working pa rin. Ok pa rin naman quality ng sound nya. Ilang beses na nabagsak pero ok pa rin, napagpawisa't naulanan na okay pa rin sya. I don't know how it conpares sa mas latest na Buds 3 pero I can vouch for Samsung's buds. Tagal din ng battery life for average users.

Galaxy buds 2. I got mine refurbished on best buy for $75 last year. They work great under a pair of hearing protection (plastic, metal will trip the magnet and turn the headphone off) Im listening to a book on tape over my machines.

Shokz are the way to go while running. I use samsung buds 2 for gym.

I absolutely loved my Buds 2. About two weeks ago, I was on a boat, and one of them fell out of my ear and plopped into the Aegean Sea. I am now enjoying my new Buds FE.

I’ve got the same issue and I’m choosing the right model too. Here are options that match what you’re looking for: JLab JBuds Mini — among the tiniest (~3.3 g per bud); often a great fit for smaller ears. No ANC, but the ultra-compact shell means you’re unlikely to get rubbing.  Soundcore A20i — very small (~25 × 19 × 16 mm, ~5.2 g per bud); comfy and inexpensive. No ANC, but they tend to fit almost any ear.  Sony LinkBuds S (WF-LS900N) — lightweight (~4.8 g per bud) and one of the most comfortable with real ANC; small, rounded housing. If you want a quality sound + secure seal, this is the safest “premium” pick.  Alternative: Sony LinkBuds Fit (WF-LS910N) — even more comfort-oriented. The Air Fitting Supporters distribute contact inside the outer ear (no hooks; they don’t interfere with glasses). If your left concha (the bowl of your outer ear) is very small, these can help spread pressure away from sensitive spots. (~4.9 g per bud).  Sony WF-C700N / C710N — light (~4.6 g per bud on C700N), designed for small ears; ANC is decent. WF-C710N is the 2025 refresh with improved ANC/touch controls.  Samsung Galaxy Buds2 — very small, rounded capsule; comfortable with good sound and competent ANC. (Not the FE.) ~5.0 g per bud; 17.0 × 20.9 × 21.1 mm. 

I've been using my samsung buds 2 for more than 4 years now, and they are nothing short of execellent. Havent had any troubles with them. They usually go around for 18k.
