For the longest time, I had to deal with the cheaper headphones/earbuds since I come from a family who isn’t very wealthy. Some of my favorite earbuds were the Samsung earbuds that came with the phone. It was a super sad day when they stopped working. But they have some earbuds on Amazon that are made of wood and have silicone tips that worked really well! I still sometimes use them when my Sony headphones need to recharge. They’re called Symphonized NRG X Wood Earbuds. Here’s the link to them if you’re interested: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D3QZB2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_8lt0EbRZXJKFF .
Although earbuds were great for a while, I had to change frequently because I felt like my ears some how always found a way to hear my triggers even when I’m listening to my music loud.
But recently, I bought my sisters some AirPods for Christmas and asked them if I could just listen to one song just to see the quality of them. I was pretty shocked with how noise cancelling they were! So as long as you’re listening to music with them, they’re great and are under $200.00.
I really understand the struggle with not being able to buy quality headphones/earbuds because of how expensive they are, but It’s worth the investment. I use the Sony WH-1000X M3 and my god, they have been my favorite thing to use. They’re a little above the $200.00 mark, but it has a white noise setting that’s cool and you don’t have to listen to music for them to be noise cancelling! Most noise cancelling headphones impress me more than noise cancelling earbuds. But everyone’s got a preference!
I hope this helps you out!! :D
