LinkBuds S

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 still use the Comfobuds as my keep in the pocket pair, for the comfort, unobtrusiveness, and speed of connection after removing them from the case. They have developed an issue where sometimes they'll wake up inside their case and connect to my phone when I don't want them to. For my home listening I use a pair of Soundpeats Air buds. The music quality is better and being open air I still feel "present" in the room and can sing along without sounding weird. My work pair is now some Linkbuds S. They have good call and music quality and really excellent active and more importantly passive noise isolation, along with low latency mode I can game with. Their downside is they stick out a bit far from my ears. I tried Bose QC 2s and hated them. 

I have two trusty pairs. 1. Sony WH-1000XM4 - Over-Ear and very nicely adjustable in the App. 2. Sony Linksbuds S - In Ear and my go-to when i leave the house. They always sit in my backpack and are my daily-driver when i use trains or busses. Also i rather like to use Loops Earplugs in the meantime. When i really need it to be as quiet as possible i also double up and use Loops while putting my Over-Ears on top. Saved me a few times when i got very overstimulated without a possibility to leave fast.[](https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/200278049_-wh-1000xm4-sony.html#reviews)

I had 3 pairs of these and all 3 had battery issues. They work for 6-12 months and then one of the earbuds (usually the left) either dies almost instantly or after 15 minutes.

Link buds s was my best until it died due to bateery drain and went to liberty 4 NC and never looked back at ear buds these pairs are wonderful

Have been using linkbud s. It was awesome, great ANC, clear sound and heavy base. But it was pricey, 200 SGD. I bought it 2 years ago. Then my wife accidentally threw it. So I started researching, and saw so many people recommending earfun air pro 4, people was saying the sound quality is crazy good for its price. So I bought it from Lazada for RM 270. Fucking garbage. I shouldn't have wasted my RM 270. So if I were you, just spend good money on a good pair of earphone/headphone, and enjoy it. Don't go cheap, not worth it. Btw, I still have my Sony wh-1000 MX 2 headphone, I bought it for RM 1200 around 6 years back. And I'm still using it until now, and it is working great.

The Sony linkbuds S came out three years ago but they are solid with ANC.
