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.

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'm not sure how they did it but the anc is generally worse than the Galaxy buds 2. However, if you're not using anc much these sound much better and can consistently give a better seal than the 2s. Also the microphone quality is close to best on market even with a noisy environment.

+1 Also the controls are MUCH better. The controls on the beans were borderline unusable, especially for someone with long hair. I would pause or skip songs by mistake just by fixing my hair. Edit: or whenever I would have to push them back in cause they always fell out.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. Simple, yet eff3xt8vr and the noise suppression/canceling works well. It's great to have since I can just charge it on my phone or steamdeck on the go.

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.

Samsung Galaxy buds 3 or 2. You can easily find them in many online stores for well below 2k

I've had my Buds 2 for over two years with a daily use of ~2-3 hours, still look and work as brand new. Probably the battery has deteriorated a bit but I do not notice it.
