T2

Yeah! At under \~$40 (ideally < $30) you can get earbuds that sound a bit better than the SoundPEATS Free2 Classic and support AAC or aptX. Look at budget picks like SoundPEATS T2/T3, Anker Soundcore Life A1/A2, or TOZO T6/T10. They’re usually comfy and land better codecs for the money. About dot-style vs stemmed: the difference isn’t performance, it’s fit and comfort. Dot/bean buds are shorter in your ear and some people find them less likely to poke or fall out, while stemmed ones stick out more but can house bigger mics/antennas. It’s really about what feels secure for your ears, not a universal “one shape stays in better.” If you tell me whether you’re on iPhone or Android, I can tailor a specific pick with the best codec for your device.

Just got these. They're comfortable and sound WAY better than the Soundpeats Air 4 I was using a lot. Also more stable in my ears - I think the wings are a great design. The noise cancelling unfortunately is pretty weak for me, probably due to individual fit more than anything. The Soundpeats NC is also quite weak so that's really a lateral move. I was hoping for more there since the Soundcore in-ears I have are so good, but c'est la vie. They're a big sound quality and comfort upgrade for when I don't want something plugging up my ears 🙂

Just got them yesterday. Much better than my Samsung Buds+. I listen to audiobooks and music from my phone. Today I was at Dunkin and it's a noisy place with their music and A/C. The ANC did a nice job of blocking it all out. 10% coupon at Amazon make these hard to pass up.

been using these for a bit too. anc’s honestly better than i expected, blocks out the usual office noise and people talking around me pretty well.

I like these but prefer the Capsule3 Pro+. The xMEMS high frequency drivers give my ears the shimmering crispy highs I need. More comfortable for me too. Either one is a great value. Our ears are all different.

They suck. Only the sound quality is a bit decent.

Honestly, not as good as I was expecting.
