I just got a job doing 3rd shift grocery stocking, usually they don’t allow earbuds but there’s no customers so everyone does it anyway.
I’d like to get something ~$30 or less (I don’t really care about the sound quality so much as long as it doesn’t sound terrible), and battery life lasting at least 8 hours. Wireless because I don’t want the wire getting in the way of anything or feeling weird down my shirt.
I got some noise-canceling JBL ones on sale for $90. Pretty good except I have to suck the earwax out of the little speaker grills and then quick-soak it in alcohol sometimes. Maybe they have a cheaper model of them. Battery life and sound quality are pretty good. If Sony has any in your price range I’d go with those.
if youre comfortable with ebay, they have Galaxy Buds Pro new/open box for $60. Those are the only ones i have used and theyve been good, but they hurt my hears(like they dont fit my ears quite right.)
For $30 or less you might have to search in Amazon reviews for the word “hours” and see if anybody can help.
Soundpeats Air3/Air3 HS. Usually under $50. They look Airpods knockoffs, but they’re pretty good. I’ve had mine for about a year. Also doesn’t completely seal just in case you need to hear your surroundings.
Anker’s Soundcore brand has been putting out some good stuff lately. Got some headphones and buds from them and have really enjoyed them.
Cheapest ones Wal-Mart sells, I’m on board with them cause they work fine and I wreck them about once a year wearing them everyday at work so it’s not worth buying expensive ones lol
A few years ago when my job was more physically demanding this was most definitely the way to go. I would lose and break a few pair every year.
I got excited when I figured out its now safer for me to wear a nice set. I still worry about losing an expensive set of buds , pretty much all day I wear them.
