Cheap earbuds have gotten so, so much better than they were a few years ago. I have tried both the Xiaomi Buds 6 and Buds 6 Pro (for about $25 and $40), and they're just so good I'm not even going to look for anything else anymore. I had the Samsung Buds Pro previously. The Buds 6 Pro are a little better than the Buds 6, I think the price difference is worth it.

I love them, they sound great
Xiaomi buds 3, im not joking this is serious lol. that thing has so much pressure that you can't use it much you need to lower the anc power in order to use it normally that is insane. i tried: Xiaomi buds 3 (-40dB i dont know how but hell yeah) Xiaomi buds 5 (no silicone, weakstill better than 4 NC) Redmi buds 6 pro (-55dB 4kHz good but -55dB is not realistic) anker soundcore liberty 4 NC (worst among them) If i would rate the ANC power: Xiaomi buds 3 9.5/10 (bose may be better, or not lol) Redmi buds 6 pro 6/10 Sony WH-CH720N 5/10 Xiaomi buds 5 4/10 Liberty 4 NC 2/10 (2 is optimistic) Transparency mode: Xiaomi buds 3 9/10 (literally hearing aids at this point) Redmi buds 6 pro 3/10 Xiaomi buds 5 3/10 Liberty 4 NC 2/10 Fun fact: my dad was using xiaomi buds 3 as hearing aids when i didnt use it 😂) Bad sides: its stick is VERY long like VERY but if you dont care just buy it. its BOSE and SONY's only enemy.
Redmi buds 6 pro gaming are really good, they are basically done of the best wireless earbuds, in terms of audio quality, battery life, comfortable, and active noise cancelation (which is truly in a category of its own), and add onto it a USB c low latency audio dongle, with 65w power passthrough, all for just over 100$right now, but usually it goes for around 80$on AliExpress
I have Redmi Buds 6 Pro and the transparency mode works remarkably well. I swear, it amplifies the car noises and sometimes would hear cars before radar picks them up. For disclaimers, I only wear them on bike paths and minor roads and always ride with the radar rear light.
i'm using the Redmi buds 6pro, excellent sound quality and battery life. £45 on Amazon
