The Earfun Airpro 4+, soundcore space a40 or OnePlus buds 4 would all be good choices. OnePlus Buds 4 – A newer all‑rounder that does very well on traffic: its ANC “dampens traffic noise very well” and softens both mid and darker sounds in crowded places, while still being under US$100 and positioned as a budget‑friendly option. Some guides note that the EarFun above has an even stronger raw ANC, but the OnePlus is the better overall package if you care about calls and multipoint as well. I like the Tozo NC20 Pro but it might not have as good Anc as the others.
My favorite most recent 4. OnePlus Buds 4, Tozo NC20, Earfun Air pro 4 plus, CMF Buds Pro 2. If you go to YouTube and look for @pickyaudio Picky Audio he has a spreadsheet to sort the order of what are the most important factors to you. I trust his opinion. I still also enjoy the Technics, Bose and Sennheiser flagship models.
I would agree about the OnePlus Buds 4 being better than the CMF Buds Pro 2. Better sound and features. Better EQ, etc . The CMF has a nice volume button, good sound too
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2025) are the best Bose pick — smaller, still excellent ANC 80% (less than the ultra 90% reduction vs 83-87% Sony XM5) and highly adjustable fit. I really like the fit and noise cancelation but I think one problem is they turn off when you lay down. The QC Ultra might be a bit better fit for you, all ears are different. The regular newer 2025 QC will wireless charge.The one thing to note is that enabling ANC will reduce the battery life below the 9-hour figure, so real-world usage with ANC on will likely be in the 7–8 hour range. Also it has a different app the QCE. Tozo Nc20 are comfortable, not nearly as good ANC. Good battery life and sound. Also the same with ANC for the EarFun Air Pro 4 plus and oneplus 4. Comfortable 3 with decent sound, settings and features.
Aussie her Just purchased the Tozo NC20 pro. Pretty good for the price
OnePlus buds 3 - Best Anc Earfun air pro 4 + - Top tier sound for the price and a great all rounder Tozo nc20 pro - Amazing battery Alot of features and great sound
Hey everyone I’m looking to replace my aging and slowly dying Beats Studio buds since the case is no longer holding a charge. I have had these go 3 or 4 years now and before these used the Raycon everyday ear buds As I mentioned in the title I work in a factory setting fairly loud (stamping plant) I’m looking for a new pair and f earbuds in the 50-70 dollar range. I actually lost one of the raycons in the past and have dropped the beats from time to time so not looking for something more expensive I’d like a earbud that can get fairly loud, has decent battery life and has a case that can wirelessly charge if possible. Noise cancelling is a plus. I usually have to wear just one ear bud if that matters. I will also be using them when working in the yard or working out also. I was looking at the Tozo NC20 pros are those a decent pair of earbuds? Any other recommendations? I do want to say I like the fit and feel of the beats just looking for something different. Maybe something where I can change the EQ settings too. Thanks
Ok so I ended up getting the Tozo NC20 Pro’s and so far they’re pretty uncomfortable in my ear. These are the first earbuds with a “stem” I’m trying the different size earbud covers. Any recommendations of earbuds without the stem part? $60 or less? How are th Tozo nc9 or the ear fin free pro 3’s those are the two I’m leaning towards now
I personally enjoy the quality of the Tozo NC 20 Pro in terms of budget. They're under $100 and the sound is crisp.
I really like the Tozo NC20 (Pro). Best value for money and really good sound.
For price and function and sound quality I would really recommend the Tozo NC20. Great sound quality, reasonable ANC (better than the Soundpeats H3 and in par with OP Buds 4), good transparency mode. I've got the OP Buds 5 and Soundpeats H3 and I have to say the sound separation and clarity of the NC20s exceptional. I don't use the others at all now with the NC20.
I just returned my Anker liberty 4 nc, tozo nc20 pro, and Bose QC ultra gen 2, keeping my Earfun 4+, it's just got so much price to performance ratio, $80 gets me 85% of what the Bose have, which has the best ANC of any headphones I tested so far. The Earfun just isn't too far behind if you keep on updating it and use the right settings, plus the thunderous bass is always a plus when doing an intense workout, I meant the bass is ridiculous for that pair of earbuds.
Tozo nc20 pro punch way above their weight in gold. They are a little hidden gem , powerful and much better sounding than headphones two or three times their price.
