Please help me decide on a pair of TWS wireless Bluetooth earbuds

[LilSweetLin]

I'm planning to upgrade to the S21 Ultra with the S-Pen in the next month, but before I do I'm trying to budget for the accessories I'll need. This S10+ is (sadly) my last phone with a headphone jack, so I'll finally need to keep up with the times and get some wireless earbuds. Ideally, I'd like to spend no more than $40-50.

AptX support would be ideal of course, but not necessarily a must (I guess), unless it makes a marked difference in overall sound and especially call quality. Long battery life is a must (7+ hours on a single charge, 35+ hours from the case), as well. Lastly, I'd prefer an ear hook design in terms of the buds itself. I really hate having to push buds with regular stems too deep into my ears, as my ears really hurt after a while.

So far, I've my narrowed my choices down to:

MPow M30 or M30 Pro (I can't seem to find the latter being sold anywhere?)

The problem I have in choosing is that I don't trust that reviews on Amazon or elsewhere aren't fake or paid for, so I'd like honest opinions from actual people here. Does anyone have experience with one or more of the ones listed here that can share some feedback? Any other suggestions I should check out? Feedback is greatly appreciated. Apologies for the long post. Thanks!

You will have trouble here also as ear buds are personal choices. I have the samsung ear buds pros and thus far are the best sounding ones I've used. The touch controls are great and the ambient sound you can turn on or off is awesome. I can have them in and at a reasonable volume carry a conversation with the buds in. Yes they are a lot more then what your looking at, but in this case you also get what you pay for. Don't be afraid to use the education discount on samsung site, it'll go thru if you check out right away.

IMO, if you want the Spen I would check the note 20 ultra out. The embedded s pen is a huge bonus with a SD card as a bonus. But I get it, the newest is out there.

Good luck

There is an adaptor that you can get so that you can still use wired earphones if that helps you any. I agree that Samsung should not have eliminated the 3.5 mm port.
