I've had samsung buds pro once, but they never sat well in my ears. And that is important. Then I bought sony linkbuds s, they were amazing. Sat very firm in the ear, great noise cancelling. But one of the batteries got bad after only a year, lastes only 5 min. Now i have nothing ear 2, pretty good budget in ears. The noise cancelling isn't that great, but they sit very firm in the ear and have lasted 2.5 years now.

Cheap earbuds have gotten so, so much better than they were a few years ago. I have tried both the Xiaomi Buds 6 and Buds 6 Pro (for about $25 and $40), and they're just so good I'm not even going to look for anything else anymore. I had the Samsung Buds Pro previously. The Buds 6 Pro are a little better than the Buds 6, I think the price difference is worth it.

Got original buds Pro new with my S21 Ultra in April 2021 and have used them daily in the gym and gardening and they still hold up like day 1. No physical damage and the case/headphones battery last just as long, or long enough thatvI never notice that they need to be charged. Best headphones I have ever used. Will probably get a pair of Pro 2 when these give in

I have the Bud Pro 1, and nothing I can do will keep the left ear in. I was hoping the 2A would fit better. This is disappointing to hear. Not sure what I will get now. I'll look for better tips, again.

If you can go above your budget a bit I think you'd be happier in the long run. I bought the One Plus buds 3. I had the OG Galaxy buds Pros and noise cancellation sucked. I was gonna buy the Sony XM5s for around 10k but decided not to so I could buy a standing desk and another pair of buds for cheaper. These buds punch above their weight class. They're pretty comfy to wear. When you turn on ANC, the world just goes silent (almost silent), I can't hear my aircon anymore or fan. Weird feeling to have the fan blow on me without noise lol. But outside like when I jog, I can still hear a bit of road noise even with ANC so it's not 100% noise cancellation but I guess it's a good thing (for safety reasons). But with ANC on, I don't have to play music at full volume, it sounds loud enough na at like 40% because it drowns out most of the outside noise anyways. The main reason I got it was also because of the battery life. Lasts like 6+ hrs with ANC on. And much longer with it off.

I literally just got mine and went through all the settings. My head is 12 inches from a window AC unit. With ANC on I'm literally sitting in a silent room. I've never had any headphones do that well. Coming from original OG Buds... this is a pretty big upgrade.

Any issues exercising with them on? Were they secure in the ear? I've always gravitated towards the v1 Samsung Buds Pro for audio fidelity, but never did quite fit right in my ear. I'm using Buds FE now, not for their sound (they are mediocre imo), but for fitment.
