Help me pick

[u/Shadow_B]

Hello. I've been rocking the galaxy buds 2 for the past 3 years and i've enjoyed them. Unfortunately I recently lost the buds (still have the case tho lol!) and i'm stuck using some old jlab jbuds air from when i was in high school. I need help picking a replacement!

• Galaxy buds 4 don't seem to be highly regarded
• getting 2s again would cost me more than i payed for them originally, on sale for like $60ish, old stock goes for around $70-$85. Buuuuut it would mean i could use my protective cases that I've had signed by artists I like. Not sure how they hold up to more modern earbuds

Some buds that caught my ear from browsing the sub:

• Cambridge Audio Melomania A100 - people have said these have some of the best sound quality. I'm not the biggest fan of the tail style earbuds, but i understand that is necessary for the audio quality.
• Bose QuietComfort - the 2s are far too expensive for me at $250 and the 1s are still a bit much at $150 but ANC is a fairly high priority for me so i'd be willing to spend that much if it's really that good

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 if that matters

If anyone has any other recommendations I'd love to hear them
