NC7

I'm on my second set of TOZOs and I don't remember how many years I had the first set (T6, $25). I may have killed them though, they got washed accidentally. They still worked for a year after that, but it may have contributed. The rest of my family has had their T6 sets working fine for years. I upgraded to the NC7 ($30) and they've been great for the last 2 years.

Yes, I just bought a pair, played with the eq like 15 minutes, and returned them. I have the nc3, and the nc7, and both of those are really nice. The nc9 had no volume or bass even after adjusting the eq,

Have you tried the NC9's? I had the NC7's and I agree those weren't great for music, a little flat and lifeless, but the 9's are a huge improvement imo

If you’re keeping it in the $20–$50 range, the TOZO NC7 is a great pick, solid noise canceling, long battery life, and even wireless charging, which is wild for the price. Another good one is the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS. They’ve got a really clean, balanced sound that’s closer to higher-end buds, and they’re super reliable for daily use. Both are great value picks if you don’t want to spend more than $50. Before you decide, check them out first at [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co) so you can compare which one feels right.

Tozo NC7. Small, durable, and IPX6 waterproofing.👍

I also recommend TOZO. I got the more expensive NC-7 model about four years ago for $80. They’ve been dropped constantly, repaired by me, accidentally thrown in the trash, and yet, they work fine. I use them daily for the gym, walks, and work. The active noise cancelling is solid too. The battery life has diminished over time and from the drops I assume, but they charge fast in the case. I’d say I get about 5 hours out of them.

Key words here being "small ears," I'd say, check out the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2. I have a lot of earbuds, and I find these to be the smallest feeling ones. Their design makes it so they sit very comfortably within my ears, and the ANC is very good, provided that you have a good seal. They're currently $119 on Amazon US. If you need something less expensive, the Tozo NC7 is also on the smaller side and are currently $50 on the Tozo website. Being less than half the price of the Samsung, the ANC isn't as good, but that's to be expected for budget earbuds.
