Recommend me some EarBuds?

[ssmacc]

Hello,

As title I'm going to get some new EarBuds, currently have some old ones with no noise cancelling etc. Most important is the fit, I'll wear these in the gym and whilst cycling in the summer.

I'm tempted by the:
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
Sony LinkBuds S
Sony WF-1000XM5 (not sure I'm prepared to stretch this far for something that I might lose!)
Samsung earbuds pro 2

I've got a Samsung phone...

Any one recommend one?

Thanks,

Thanks both, I'll add Pixel Buds Pro into the mix.

All advice welcome.

I have the WF-1000XM5 and love them, the ANC works really well and LDAC helps with my FLAC files. But I do agree they're on the more expensive side.

I'm going to throw in the Pixel Buds Pro into the mix, a family member who also gyms often uses them and haven't found any issues of them falling out.

Any issue with the WF-1000XM5 fit? (falling out)

Thanks,

Thanks everyone, still no wiser as to which I'll go for but good to have some opinions!

Managed to grab some:

Refurbished: WF-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds,

Form the Sony Refurb shop for £150, hopefully these will be "as new"...

Thanks for all the advice.

At that price the Status Audio 3ANC walk over them.

Hi, I can always send them back if I'm not happy...

Have you used both earbuds or are you going from reviews out of interest, the XM5's review very well but I've obviously not used them.

Cheers,

Thinking of sending these back, as I can't get them to stay in my ears!
and, I might be expecting too much (based on having some "ear cup" noise cancelling headphones, but not impressed by the noise cancelling at all...)

Back to the drawing board! I guess the ability to stay in the ear while moving is my top priority!

I've already got these (but wanted to upgrade), these fit really well and I've never had a issue with them failing out (you can see why from the design)...

I've sent back the Sony's and bought some "Galaxy Buds Pro 2", got these new for ~£120, used a friends for a bit, it was the fit that convinced me to buy, very secure and didn't fall out...I don't think I'd notice a huge difference between these and any others (I'm 51 and have played the drums for years so doubt I have the best hearing!). I'm actually shocked at how bad the Sony fit was (for me), my friend tried them and had the same issues I did...

Thanks again for all the advice, much appreciated.
