SoundPEATS - GoFree 2

I just use Soundpeats GoFree2, which is an open earbud with an ear hook. I loved Airpods until the new design just keeps falling off my ears, and I can’t deal with buds due to sensitive ears. I also tried Shokz but had to return it since it didn’t sound right to me.

I have too many open ear buds. My best for calls are the SoundPeats GoFree 2. Excellent for podcasts and audiobooks too. I bit light on bass for music but clear and sharp.

I've reviewed a few on my channel that fall into the 'budget but decent' category - [Moondrop Pill](https://youtu.be/XBp8UmOa6iU) for ear clips or even [QCY Crossky C30](https://youtu.be/_V3GJkXoN5w). For ear-hook style [FIIL GS](https://youtu.be/i2NVYwaV6Lg) were surprisingly good, and I've been using Soundpeats GoFree2 for ages now and they never let me down. I also sleep using ear hooks for drifting off to podcasts, and have been using the Soundpeats for that more than exercise, but they do the job. I saw you have experience with Huawei - I actually use their FreeArc for running as my main pair, but they aren't light years ahead of the budget sets. For mid-tier ANC, there aren't huge differences between OnePlus, Earfun, Soundpeats, Realme etc, it still come mostly down to preferred tuning style. I include sound samples in all my reviews (and ANC samples) so I'd say listen to a few of them and judge what sounds best to you, and decide from there.

Have you tried "open ear" styles? Once I tried them, I've used them exclusively except for very noisy environments ( but they're fantastic when driving alone - no loss of road awareness). I find them considerably more comfortable over long spans (I routinely wear them for 8 hours at a stretch), and don't impede ambient sound - with nothing playing, you can carry on a conversation, drive safely, etc... I have two sets of the Soundpeats GoFree 2,if you're looking for specific recommendations. The sound quality is excellent and full-spectrum. 

Soundpeats Go Free 2 - secure fit, comfortable to the point that I routinely forget I'm wearing them, & great sound quality. I've been using them 3-4 hours / day for audiobooks for well over a year,and they're still going strong. 

Soundpeats Gofree 2, sound is great, IPX 5, multi point connection, cheap enough to buy another pair when necessary.

If you want semi in ears like air pods, there aren't many good options. Air pods is probably the best of this type. Don't get soundcore aerofits they are really bad. I hate mine. I had the soundpeats gofree before my aerofit and they cost 1/4th price but sound better.

The vent mesh on mine collapsed too easily. The glue barely held. I thought they'd be more durable being sports earbuds but guess not. They don't sound that good either, treble is shrill and voice is muddy. The soundpeats gofree I had was much better sounding than this. They were cheap and didn't last past a year but man they sounded super nice and I was very happy with them. For fully open earbuds 1more s50 open, moondrop pill, dunu vivaldi might be better.

I got AirPods noise cancelling for $120 on a sell and recommend If you wanna go cheaper I used to use the Soundpeats true wireless for like $50 and enjoyed them. Never came out. Solid sound. Would recommend also.

I have the liberty 4 pro and a couple of soundpeats buds , my advice is get the soundpeats of your main priority is top tier audiophile level sound quality the sound quality on that is peak and then get the earfun air 4 pro if you want an overall good earbud with Anc ,transparency and other features then the earfun is the best option. I wouldn't really recommend the liberty 4 nc as it's quite old . A few other personal recommendations would be the OnePlus buds 3 pro or the liberty 4 pro ( chck out the OnePlus buds 4 aswell)
