I'm looking for small and light true wireless earbuds and am bewildered by the choice out there! Ideally, I want ones that *don't* work in Mono mode. I bought a pair of the SkullCandy Sesh and the right bud kept dropping out. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I can't see that I'll ever use these in Mono. Don't need a mic or great audio quality. It's mainly for listening to podcasts while pottering about the house, and for workouts. I'd like controls for play/pause and volume up/down. I want as small as possible charging case. Recommendations? Should be available in Dubai. Thanks!
 
I’ve been conned into two pairs of wireless beats, both bricked no fault of mine at about 18 months will never recommend another beats product.

Been on Jaybird and they are great, the Jaybird vistas available in Dubai are really good buds. Check them out.

I like this guys reviews on this topic. He stopped though, but this is still a very good video on this topic.


The sony's is really good if you want noise cancellation. I have the airpod pros, and the noise cancellation is really a very nice feature that I use surprisingly a lot, now that I work from home. The airpods doesn't have the noise control on the side like you want though, but I think the sony's might. Otherwise the Jabra's is probably the go to

Edit: After seeing your new post. He has the best budget earbud in there as well, but it is still $90
 
So I bought the Galaxy buds and am so disappointed. They are nowhere near loud enough when used with podcasts on my iPod. I followed all the advice about changing the touch controls within the Wearables app so that long holding adjusts the volume. I set the buds to the max that I can using this method, but this doesn't seem to have any effect when used with my iPod. And they're super uncomfortable.

Oops.... shoud have mentioned price range.... around $50! I really don't need top-of-the-range sound quality. My worry with spending more is if one of them falls out and breaks - that's what happened to my last pair, which I really liked - brand "Umi" that I picked up for £15 at Gatwick airport.

I got these recently, I used a voucher on banggood so there were even cheaper. I have had no issues listening to podcasts or with calls and would suggest them.
