I have never cared about having wireless earbuds. It's one more thing you have to charge (and the batteries will eventually die), the audio quality suffers because the DAC in the earbuds is typically crap, and with these new earbuds that are separate pieces it seems they would be very easy to lose. Imagine you're walking down a busy street, one of them pops out accidentally, lands in the road and immediately gets run over.
Most phones have nixed a headphone jack now, so you're honestly better off getting a decent USB DAC / headphone amp and a pair of in-ear monitors. For example:
Fiio K1 24-bit 96Khz USB DAC / Amplifier - $40
Works great, doesn't really drain your battery any more than you would listening to music normally. It's also tiny, light, and has a clip to attach to your clothing. Note that you'll need a USB-C OTG cable, which is another $5 or so.
KZ ZS10 Pro In-ear Monitors - $48.99
I have these, and they sound quite simply amazing. In-ear monitors of this quality were once very expensive, but now we can get them directly from China without a big brand name attached. They have a nice long cord that is replaceable, and they are very comfortable.
This is far less than the cost of the high end wireless earbuds...we're still under $100 total, and if you've never experienced 24/96 audio you don't know what you're missing. Tidal will stream at that quality level, but you probably only want to do that on Wifi. Alternatively, you can take FLAC files around with you on your phone, which is what I do. The whole setup is easy, lightweight, and cheaper than wireless while giving you amazing sound quality that you can never get with any wireless headphones.
I've been using the Tin Audio T2 for the past couple months, they are good entry level in ear monitors for $50, great build quality and nice sound quality. They have a natural, flat sound so they don't really have a bias towards heavy bass or pronounced treble, just presents the music as is which I prefer (however that's not to say they are lacking in bass, there's plenty there).
If you want something that intentionally exaggerates bass (V Shaped) then maybe look into the KZ ZS10 (I don't actually own these though, just going off what I've read in /r/headphones - which you might want to do some research there too)
Neither of those are actively noise cancelling but just by being in ear monitors they will reduce a lot of noise since they are shoved up in your ear canal, especially if you get some foam tips like New Bee or Comply.
There are hundreds of options out there so this is a deep rabbit hole to fall in but I think you can't really go wrong with the T2s as your first pair, then go from there depending on what kind of sound signature you want.
The KZ ZS10 Pro has great comfort, sound, and noise isolation. Not to mention that they look great while doing it.
