A couple recommendations in no particular order:
1. I have a pair of Etymotic ER4P earphones. They're wired but you can
plug them into a $15 BT dongle that you can pair to your phone, answer
calls, etc. They don't have active noise cancelling. They rely on deep
insertion into your ear canal and some people don't like that. With
memory foam tips, they'll give you a level of isolation that I'd
categorize as "dangerous". You simply won't hear things around you.Â
Even my lawn mower is reduced to a distant hum. Definitely don't wear
these while jogging or riding a bicycle.
2. I have a pair of Sony WF-1000xm4 BT earphones. They pair fine with
my Android phone. Active noise-cancellation but they also have an
"ambient sound" mode where they simply replay the sounds picked up by
the mic so you can hear conversations around you without removing them.Â
With noise-cancellation enabled, I'd still rate them a notch below the
Etymotics in terms of isolation but they're not bad. I use these when
mowing the lawn. Main complaint is the battery in my left earbud lasts
about an hour less than the right earbud and, judging from YouTube
videos, replacing a battery isn't trivial.
