Question Noise cancelling IEMs which to buy?

[Al ears]

My son wants a pair of wireless iems with noise cancelling of some description for Christmas.
What's the best,cheap ones, to buy?
Earbuds like this are not my forte as I always use wired and not cheap... 🙂

IMHO Technics AZ-100 are excellent £240 could be above budget AL

Wireless earbuds not my forte either. I think kids are more concern about, do I look cool in these?

Curry has a good deal on Soundcore IEMs, about £30-£40 cheaper than others. These are not bad, they stay on your ear and not those Oral-B ones.

I saw this and I thought it was a sex toy 🤣



There's Cambridge Melomania IEMs over at Amazon 34% off, possibly worth checking out.
These seem to have excellent battery life 39 hrs - is it good?

I use Soundcore bluetooth headphones more often, but I've used Soundcore Space A40 in-ears for a couple of years or so: they are quick-charging and have excellent battery life with the compact charging case, and they sound plenty good with and without ANC engaged. Most-important to me in IEMs, they are smaller than other brands I've used (Sony and Samsung only) and fit my pinnas very well. The Soundcore app is also one of the best available. These are nicer-looking, not just cheaper, than most -sort of like their music-loving owner.

Forgot to note my my most important requirement for wireless music: theses are LDAC-equipped.
