I agree. Have a pair of the Ankers myself and think they’re the perfect price/quality

You messed up lol...galaxy buds plus were built to compete with airpod pros and they cost $150...many reviews say they sound a lot better than the pros...they have volume control on them along with a few other controls, you can even assign different controls for the different taps.

Do they pair as easy as the AirPods? That’s one thing I love about them. The instant I put them in my ears, I’m paired and listening or talking on phone.

Yep, they connect instantly and turn on and off as soon as you put them in or take them out of your ear. There is an app you download to customize the functions of the touch areas, change equalizer settings, check battery level for both buds, and various other things. I have an iPhone and they work flawlessly. You should seriously consider them...buy some, try them out in the parking lot then bring them back if they're not your thing.

Nvmd, I saw you put plus. I will do a little research and may give them a shot. The noise reduction works well?

I've been saying the Sony WF-1000XM3 are probably the best all around for months, and I think that's still true if you need noise cancelling.

For non noise cancelling, the new Master Dynamic MW07 Go are the best all around earbuds IMO. They're the most comfortable, waterproof, 10 hour battery life and the MW07 line has the best sound quality of anything under 300 bucks that I've heard. They're also among the lightest and best looking/most minimal earbud out there.

Scams? Or maybe people that hate Apple or don't have iPhones.

I love my AirPod Pros. I easily use them for 1-2hrs at gym plus 2-4 hrs at work. With the case, I EASILY get a full 1 week of battery as well before having to charge everything.
AirPods look a little silly. AirPod Pros look a little less silly but people are just used to seeing them now so meh.

Yeah, but not water-proof/resistant

The MW07 Plus are, but they're 299 and I don't think the ANC is as good as Sony. Obviously there are trade offs depending on what your top priority is.

FWIW I've worked out/ran w/ the Sony's and haven't had any issues.

Yeah, but I think the OP wanted to stay away from $300 price point

I dunno why I'm getting so many down votes on my suggestion. There are real issues with the pros right now. Just look up r/airpodpro

They were sooooooo good on the first firmware but it's been buggy ever since.

When did you get yours? I don't have many problems but I do get buggy connections, static, and the reduced ANC from the firmware.

NEVER buy airpods from any site other than Apple. I've found facebook marketplace pretty much full of fake airpods. Some of the fake ones are pretty spot on but I seriously doubt the call quality and charge is near as good.

Even in the box, all that crap is fake. Around Christmas, I was buying some pros for my teen and found a LOT of people buy the real pros and a set of fake ones. Then take all the real ones out and put the fake ones in the package. So the box and paperwork is legit and that's it.

FWIW, I tried them with my Note10 and they sounded awful. Listened to them with my son's iphone and it was amazing. So I would only use with iproducts. The regular airpods work fine with android but are limited to basically forward the song with the tap and no other taps.
