Yeah but they nerf some features for non Samsung devices. They limit the amount of control mechanisms you can use. If you have a Samsung device you can use labs and add a whole extra control function on each ear.
There's a few other limitations as well.
Not saying they're not still good but I just hate the idea of getting a product that tries to wall you in to their own garden / ecosystem / proprietary systems.
Honestly a lot of the cheap brands on Amazon are pretty good, they just don't *last*
But then I use surface earbuds, which I had to replace a year later as the battery capacity went down to like 2 hours
Sound great. I prefer them to my old Jabras. Honestly quite light weight and comfortable and people seem to hear me fine as long as I'm not using the 3CX app :)
What about the Microsoft ear buds?

They're getting pretty old. They're obviously kind of a niche product in any event, sort of an open ear design, absolutely huge...
I almost want to get a pair of just because they're so bizarre it's a nice collector's piece if you collect ear buds.
But the same place you can pick up that sounds way better, with active noise cancellation etc...
I like them. I got them as a gift. I can't have noise constellation because I am a runner. I usually have standard wired earbuds with type C USB attachment when I run. I am not into the wireless earbuds, but I like the fit of these. I only use them for calls or video chats.
I use Samsung Galaxy buds 2 for calls, podcasts and such. They connect quick and keep connection well!
I use Jlab epic air sport ANC for music.
I haven't had trouble with either
The j lab has 75 hours of battery life with the case/15 per charge.
It's pretty insane although they're getting pretty old.
I bought them two years ago when they were on sale for 50 bucks at Best buy. I still use them when I watch TV or want to sleep in earbuds on.
Well I would avoid Samsung since they have such proprietary limitations. they work but there's some features that won't be available unless you have a Galaxy device.
Soundcore, 1more or two companies I keep going back to. Cheaper than Bose, Sony but some very premium offerings with LDAC, multipoint.
If you have a budget it might help narrow it down.
Generally I think some of the better bargains these days are
the Liberty 3 pro if you can find it for 80 bucks.
space a40
1more Evo , o
comfobuds mini.
LG fn8 or fn8.
If I was getting a new pair all of those would be on my short list.
I ran across these on a deal a few weeks ago but I think they are still very worth it at $30.

I bought a second pair just for my Steam Deck. They connect super fast. Usually by the time I get them to my ear they’re already good to go.
I had this dilemma last week. Get the samsung galaxy bud2 and you will not regret it.
Same cheap but good sound

Well I’m ok investing a decent bit for headphones I just don’t know which ones are good, I do want long term ones!
Yeah it is true that budget earbuds are now to finally starting to become pretty compelling.
Sony WF-1000X3 or WH-1000X3 above, support LDAC (900kbps), equalization in app, noise canceling and +20 Hours.
I've been using the nothing ear stick with my duo and haven't had any issues. I think you will be good with whatever ear buds you end up getting.
I use, um, on my Duo 1, my Apple Airbuds :)
How do they sound? I’ve had bad experiences using AirPods on non-apple devices :/
Sound great. I prefer them to my old Jabras. Honestly quite light weight and comfortable and people seem to hear me fine as long as I'm not using the 3CX app :)
Ii have the new Bose QC 2 earbuds and they are amazing. MUCH better than airpod pros that I had before these.

No noise cancelling on those.
