Can anyone recommend a wireless earbud that has the soft rubber inserts that won't break the bank?
Hate the Airpods as they don't "seal" in the ear canal.
I will only use them to listen to music. Won't use them as a Bluetooth microphone.

I have Skull Candy Sesh earbuds, which sell for around $50 (the link is to Best Buy).
The audio quality and fit and comfort work ok for me. They came with three different sizes of soft ear pieces.
Playback functions (stop, pause, etc.) can be controlled from pressing the outside of the earbud as well as volume adjustment.

I have a set of Jaybird x3 (older models) and I am quite happy with them. They work great as speakers and work incredibly well for talking on the phone. I would highly recommend checking out their offerings.
I have Skullcandy but not the earbugs. I can attest to the quality-price of their product, though. Definitely worth checking out for $50. I have the set that goes around your neck and got those for $40 about 3 years ago. They're still going strong.

My son has a pair of the Tozo bluetooth ones and he really likes them I tried them and they sound decent (I hate earbuds, prefer headphones)

I’ve been using Anker Soundcore Life P2 for about 4 months and they are working well. Comes with 3 sizes of ear pieces. They had good reviews and reasonably priced. You can find them for about $45.

+1 on the Raycon brand.

I bought a set of Senheiser ear buds.
I love the sound, but they only last a few hours before needing to be charged.
My LG ear buds (get the ones that are water resistant) sound good, and the battery lasts a long time, but sometimes the hoop that goes around the neck wants to fall down my back.
I bought a set of Jabra Elite 65t. I like them and a variety of ear inserts will fit on them to individualize your comfort. Jabra now has the 75t, I believe.

I paid $30 over a year ago(Now $15.99 with a 10% coupon on top), might be a different model but they look the same. Wife says the call quality is good and I work in a noisy environment. Sound quality is excellent btw.

I bought a pair of Raycon 25s to use when I didn't want the dongle of an Airpod hanging out of my ear. They're pretty decent.
I realize technology keeps advancing, but I still prefer wired earbuds for two reasons:
(1) If one falls out during strenuous exercise, I don't have to stop and search for it. (2) The wire serves as an FM antenna. I like listening to the radio in my area, and I can't with the wireless earbuds (and don't tell me to carry my brick-that-passes-as-a-phone).
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I have these. Use them when mowing & in the helmet on the motorcycle.
I have the Tozo T10 that were ~$50. They've been ok, but not great. Battery life is good, but they drop with movement & have been having some charging/connecting issues after ~1.5yrs. To be fair, I beat the shit out of them.
I just ordered some $37 Soundcore Liberty Neo. They're reviewed well & are made by Anker, which has been a good brand for chargers in the past. Haven't received them yet to judge, but if they are as good as the Tozo were to begin with, I'd say they're a bargain. Some of the features look to be better, so I might be singing praise in a week or 2. Hope so. I miss my Shures for the sound, not for the cord. (lost one of the earpieces & the bluetooth sucked).

I bought my wife a set of the Raycons but the piece that sticks out at the top hurts my ears after a few minutes.
Skull candy it is. Thanks guys!

My Tozos fried after a few months. The charging case stopped working and smelled of fried electronics.
They were comfortable and worked great when they worked. Only complaint about wireless earbuds is that they don't allow super low volume settings. Always seems so loud.

I've seen reviews for the Raycons that show they look to be overpriced rebranded Chinese generic ear buds from Ali Express. Buyer beware.
