T10 (2024 Upgraded Edition)

I relate to this, there are certain styles of earbud that hurt my ear considerably, like the old iPhone headphones. I've become a fan of this style Tozo earbuds: https://www.amazon.com/TOZO-Bluetooth-Wireless-Headphones-Waterproof/dp/B07J2Z5DBM?th=1 They are reasonably priced, they hold up well (I've only broken one once by running it over with my computer chair), decent battery life, I'm happy with the sound quality for books and music. They also have other shapes of earbud.

TOZO T10 wireless earbuds. $20 a set, buy 2 since most rechargeables won't last a full 14 hours straight. They're *$20 a pair* and I've had mine for years, constant use. Easily some of the best bass and clarity I've ever had from earbuds, wired or not. 250,000+ reviews on Amazon, they do claim 15 hours of play time but I'd say about 11-12. Can be used in the shower as well.

I'd go with the anker soundcore life A1 or tozo T10, both under 40$ solid build good bass and reliable battery life. Great value for everyday use.

For under €40, the JLab Go Air Pop is a great option, super affordable, surprisingly clear sound for the price, and really lightweight for daily use. Another solid pick is the TOZO T10, which has a fuller sound with decent bass and a simple, durable design that makes it good for everyday listening. Both of these give you solid bang for your buck, and they’re widely available. If you can, test them out first with [audiotones.co](https://audiotones.co) to check the tunings if any fit your vibes

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.

I got google pixel buds and some cheap (they were 10$, now 20) Chinese ones from amazon Tozo T10, that I thought would break after a few months but I have them for more than a year and they work great, also could wear them while showering. Both are wireless, just Bluetooth.

Tozo t10 are totally waterproof (I've worn them in the shower for 3 years).

I have Tizo bluetooth earbuds, 15-20 dollars on Amazon. I've bought several times from them on Amazon with no problem. Personally I found their T10 earbuds, much more comfortable than their A1 earbuds, different shapes, but that's just a personal thing many people like the A1's the shape just didn't work for my ears. The A1's are less than ten dollars more than the T10's. I've used them on my phone, laptop, I've connected them to my Steam Deck before and they've worked. Full disclosure, I only use one at a time as I'm deaf in one ear and there's no point in putting them both in at once so I don't know how they work together but separately they're fine. They both say they have a mic though I haven't had much chance to test that aspect.
