Recommendations: wireless ear buds/pods

Hi,

I need to get up with the times and tired of wired earphones so can anyone recommend any budget wireless ear buds/pods

Generally I use them for podcast listening indoors whilst I'm doing chores or outside for cleaning the car. Currently using JLab wired but find lack of noise cancelling affects podcast listening.

The JBL range has been suggested as some have options in my price range (£40)

Any other recommendations much appreciated.

Thanks 👍🏽

If you can stretch to £100, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 are very well regarded for their sound quality with decent ANC, which is hard to find in cheaper IEMs.

Failing that, for around the £40 mark I'd go for the Anker Sound core P3i that punch above their weight for £30.

Thanks! The latter seem interesting although they don't have noise cancellation which kinda matters to me primarily so I can hear a podcast whilst I've got the hoover in close earshot. Is noise cancellation a really tangible difference or is it a tad hyped?

Someone recommend the JBL Air Flexx https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BHDRW3MK/?coliid=I29OGWOA68XWKG&colid=1FNBTPQFV656X&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_ys_dp_it

The Ankers do have noise cancellation, it's right there in the product title. The ones you've just linked there don't have it, the phrase you want to be looking for is "active noise cancellation".
