WF-C510 Series

Sony WF-C510 Just cheap enough ($50) so I don’t worry about breaking them and the feature set I need which is: clear sound, TWS and transparency mode Got ZS-10s and ZSNs somewhere, along with Moondrop Aria After using decent enough TWS ones I am not coming back to wired IEMs but you do you 😄

Best bet is Space A40 or WF-C510. If youre chasing sound quality, get IEMS and a dongle for your phone (3.5mm to usb-c/lighting/micro usb). The Chu IIs from Moondrop are 20 dollars. With a dongle, you’re paying about 30 max with no shipping fees

Nope. The C510s are excellent and very reliable.

Hey OP. I have like 10 pairs of buds im addicted to them and can give you some advice. Stay away from skull candy and some budget buds from big names. I prefer to find and use low to mid range buds that performs way more than I need them too. Anker R50i NC... great buds it's got a lil stem that can be annoying if you not used to buds with stems . I can recommend 3 buds in your budget that actually add up to R700 (yes you can get 3 awesome buds for your budget) Anker a20i R300 incredible corruption Redmi buds 6 play R199 takealot Jlab go air pop R199 pick n pay online I've found that rotating buds helps with extending their lifespan abit. Bear in mind that most buds aren't really designed to go more than 2 years we just haven't the perfected the tech yet the small batteries do degrade over time and it's extremely common. However if you set on getting one moerse pair of buds the Sony c510 is the best you can get for R800 . Currently on sale at incredible and amazon for R800 unfortunately yellow colour only. Hope this helps

Sony’s entry and medium tier offerings are quite good. I love the WF-C510 they’re affordable but works great on both Android and iOS

Shokz is good but I don't like the sound, for ultrarunning I want to be able to shut off the outside world and listen to some 'good' music. Sony WF-C500/WF-C510 have been my go to, they cost between 30-50€ for a pair, seem to withstand heavy rain and sweat, sound OK (a lot better than bone conducting like Shokz) and most importantly they last 10 hours on a charge.

Sony c510 (no anc)

I already have a sony wf-c510 when I bought my legion go s. No issues so far.

Top options in this price range are OnePlus buds 3 (4 are better but cost around 22k) Soundcore Liberty nc4 Sony c510 (although they lack anc) Cmf buds 2 pro Redmi buds 6 pro (personally using older model for about 3 years now) they all are miles better then audionic in terms of reliability but life depends on how much you use them some people destroy the battery of airpods pro in just 1 1.5 year Earfit and sound quality differ for every person so it is better to test the buds first but i don't know any shop offer testing although xcessories hub lahore have all of these models available so if you live in lahore you can call to inquire about testing.

If you’re under $40 you can score some soundcore p30i instead. Better bass, the case is slightly bigger but it’s more like a square shaped and it has a nice little stand you can use for your phone when you have it on landscape mode. If you’re not truly on a strict budget, some Sony C510 for $50 right now honestly wipe the pants off most the brands mentioned especially if you’re not using an EQ app to make the buds “sound better”
