I would like to buy new earbuds (for android), I’ve got 2 before a xiaomi one and the Donner dobuds one, the two broke after 6 months… Does someone has any recommandations? My budget is maximum $50 Thank you
I have JBL vibe ear buds and they are working fine so far.

Are you after wireless or wired earbuds? And what kind of music do you generally listen to?
I will only buy wireless ones, and I think that I just need the best that I could get in most categories, good ANC, good sound…
Jabra elite 3 or 4. They are solid IMO.
See if you can find a friend who owns a particular model and is comfortable letting you try it on. How it fits is the most important thing IMO.
Samsung ones seem reliable, but one big downside is that the app (Galaxy Wearable), has a number of required permissions. The app does not function without them, even if you don’t need those features. I’m not sure what the workarounds are, and maybe you can make do without the app, but here is the list:
- Calendar
- Call logs
- Contacts
- Nearby Devices
- Phone
- SMS

There’s a Dutch weather man who reviews a crazy amount of earbuds as a hobby. They’re all Bluetooth ones though. I found that you get better quality for a similar price if you get a wired one.
Anyway, recommend that you check out https://www.scarbir.com/
He has lists per price range, but also recommendations per usage type. E.g. I bought ones that were less affected by wind noise (during a call).
Thx so much, I will see this website! I know that wired one are better value. But for me wireless is obligatory, cannot go to the gym or do what I want without wireless
I have wireless earbuds because of their practicability too. I’d recommend you the ones I have (Soundcore Liberty 4 NC) but unfortunately they cost almost double your budget 😅
I would prefer to spend only few bucks to get earbuds just because it’s a great thing for me but the 2 that I’ve got broke so I don’t want to waste $100 into this
To each their own, but I prefer wired earbuds run under my shirt, especially at the gym. Then if I need to take one out or they fall out, they’re tethered to me.
So even when doing workout you need to have your phone with you, in your pockets?
In a pocket, an arm-band, or compression shorts, sure! I guess I don’t know where else it’d be.
Jumping jacks aren’t even fun if we have to wear pants.
Do you want wired or wireless? If wireless check out the Moondrop space travel, if wired then Moondrop Aria, linsoul tin t2, there’s plenty of chifi options that’ll outperform any name brand stuff.
Would like a wireless one, the space travel has good sound quality in my tought but I thought it lacks some features and not so good battery
I love my buds pro but they came with me phone. Id probable go for the monies if I have to replace them
Beats fit pro are good but pricy. You can always buy second hand/refurbished from eBay.

Check out RTINGS.com, they’re the most data-driven testing site I know of. They have their own frequency response curves they test audio fidelity with.
