my last pair of TWS broke and looking for a new pair. I have tried and given away a couple budget TWS buds from Amazon but these seem to be the latest in the budget range.
like the person who posted in forums I prefer semi-open earbuds and I was waiting for Moondrop Block (~$30) to be shipped by Amazon but just found this review comparing to QCY Ailybuds and the Ailybuds look like they have way deeper bass.
I have seen other semi-open graphs before but pretty sure none of them showed this deep in the bass not even the new Nothing Ear (Open).

also the Ailybuds have ANC which probably won’t be that strong because it’s semi-open but better than nothing probably good enough for cancelling fans and AC noise. I mean for semi-open earbuds this is a (new) Airpods 4 feature!
Ailybuds Pro+ also released recently in mid 2024 so I think the discount from $59.99 normal price is acceptable.
also I know there is the one bad faulty battery review.
but in my experience is 5 different $30-$40 TWS from Amazon and reading reviews is the fault can happen to any TWS. if it happens just unlucky get a refund. it is very common even with $300+ Sony TWS if you search the sonyheadphones reddit.
out of the 5 buds only 1 pair had faulty battery issue refunded. 1 I have been using for 2 years without issue, and 3 I gave away to parents and others who needed them they are still working well except for 1 pair which they put in the laundry and broke. 😂
on top of these I have one pair that refuses to break for 3+ years. the brand that got banned on amazon taotronics. their battery life has gone down a lot to like only 30 to 40 mins but it’s still consistent left and right.
the only problem I got about 2 years ago was one side became muffled sounding because of dirt or wax and even after cleaning it doesn’t improve. but I still use them as a spare pair when I don’t put them on for long such as in the morning.
I don’t mention the other brands because ever since taotroncs disappeared they seem to just rotate change brand names. I was happy with one pair then when going to look for it again it’s not available anymore. 💁♀️
QCY seems to be around for awhile now though like Soundpeats which is also popular now.
