Wireless earbud recommendations?

I know nothing about them, but it is something I’m considering buying for my adult son. He doesn’t want anything expensive. I see HSN has a Toshiba two pack tsv, but I can’t find reviews anywhere online. Can anyone give me some recommendations? Thanks!

The 2nd generation Apple earbuds are running under $150. This is not the Pro version. No reviews is a no buy for me.

FYI....those Toshiba buds last only 4 hours on a charge. That doesn't seem long enough to me.

 

CNET dot com lists 6 top earbuds under $100. Search for this article to see them:

I have gone thru many earphones/buds

the only kind that fit me are the Apple style. 

I use either the wired or a knock off airpods I got for cheap 

 

if they aren't comfy to wear just super annoying

I  use wired headphones with my Samsung phone and tablet. 

You may want to give your son a gift card.

You should be able to find a YouTube video review of the Air Pods gen 2.
Techmeout has a nice review. She compares the gen2 and the new Air Pods Pros. 

Amazon has a comparison chart on the site. They have a official store.  I was able to find the store with a Google search.

HSN rep said the Tosbiba's last 15 hours, not four. that's a very long time :-)

I don't have good experiences with earbuds, they always seem to fall out especially while jogging.  I would highly recommend Trekz Titanium headphones that sit over the ear.

i am a fan of bose......i really like their wireless earbuds.

however, for the money, the toshiba earbuds are pretty good. i did buy them in a two pack a year or so ago from hsn i believe.
