Looking for some noise cancelling ear buds to keep in my car for public places. The more noise cancelling, the better. I would like to avoid any full eat-covering eatphones.
I’ve had good luck with Pixel Buds Pro.
Genuinely go for any, ive not found any to be better than any others
I’ve been using Elgin Rebels for work (noisy factory) as they’re OSHA approved. Battery life is good and the actual “ear plugs” are pretty comfy.
I like my AirPods Pro. They stay in my ears better than others.
Yeah I have the APP2. Noise canceling is very good, but I feel like they don’t stay in my ears. My pixel buds never came out, but the APP2 regularly do.
If you’re simply looking for best noise cancelling Bose is your best bet.
Sony is up there too. Apple close second. They do have better passthrough tho.
Not noise cancelling, but I always have a pair of headband earbuds around my neck. The pair I have is retractable so the earbuds are part of the neck band until I pop them in. I mainly use them with a white noise app when my tinnitus gets bad. (Having a ringing sound that you can’t escape from and that gets worse when it’s quiet is torture!)
I’m considering either the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, or Space A40 currently. From what I hear they should be the best bang for the buck ANC earbuds currently.
I would advise you to thoroughly check which earbuds feel comfy enough for long stretches of time. The best noise cancelling is useless if it comes with itching and burning :(
I have some PixelBuds as they came with my phone - but I’m very sensitive with my inner ear and can’t wear most buds for a longer time. I can endure ear-covering headphones for much longer - but those get to warm in the summer and everyone can see them, so there are definitely drawbacks to this type.
