Bluetooth Earbud Recommendation

Can anyone recommend some BT earbuds that sound good (neutral) and are not too terribly expensive?

A quick seach led me to the Sony WFXB700, but then I saw they were advertised as having "EXTRA BASS Sound!"

I´d like to keep it under €100, less would be nice :)

My go-tos are the Jaybird X2s. Not as much of a fan of the X3s. I'd call them generally neutral with a slightly augmented bass. 'Fun' but not bloated.

I have three pairs. Two at work and one at home, though I rarely use the ones at home.

I get about five hours of play time out of them and all three sets are 100% still functional.

I bought the first ones sometime before Jan 2017 and the most recent set were refurbs. I must have charged the original set 1,000 times by now.
 
I have the Sony WF-1000XM3 and would get the newer M4 if I had to get a new pair. I got mine on refurb for cheap and love them.
 
I just bought my first pair - received them Friday so I have very little time with them but I'm pretty impressed with them. Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 @ $41.99US

we've got two of these and can't complain, particularly for the price. they sound better than I expected ,are comfortable and make chemo almost enjoyable.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I´l check some of those out.

These are only going to be for listening to classical music during my lunch break, and maybe watching youtube videos at home on the computer. I am just soooo tired of the cables on my ear buds being so tangled all the time, no matter how carefull I am.
 
The original Samsung Galaxy Buds are getting phased out but you might still be able to find them for less than a hundred dollars. They're Harman tuned but a little bit on the bass light side. The Galaxy Buds+ hover closer to a hundred dollars. Samsung addressed the bass on those and cranked the battery life up to eleven hours per charge. However there have been some complaints with the treble timbre sounding a little metallic.

Harman target tuning is slightly v-shapped and it's seen some successful applications across the industry in more than just Harman/Samsung products. It's not exactly my preference but one advantage of sticking with one of the big tech companies for TWS headphones is that they're going to nail the ergonomic and UI experience.
 
I'm pretty happy with the Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2. I bought them mainly for use while I work outside mowing and using other power equipment.

These don't have any noise cancellation and I wasn't really looking for that. I can still hear the sound of the riding mower but it's muffled enought that I can clearly hear music without trying to play over the noise. Much like road noise while driving.

I listened to a bunch of flac files from my hard drive, wifi to a tablet, Bluetooth to the earbuds while sitting around one evening. They sounded very good for $50 BT earbuds. Pretty low bass but not overpowering, mids/highs are pretty clear. They don't compare to any of my headphones (AKG Q701, HiifiMan HE-4X, Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro 08 ohm) but very satisfying for casual listening while busy with chores and lawn work.

I do wish the volume could be controlled with the earbuds instead of from the phone/tablet but I can live with it.

I've tried lots of wireless buds, mostly for bike riding.
For me, fit is most important. Even a good sounding unit won't sound good if it doesn't seal well and stay sealed.
I also find various sets where each bud is separate can be glitchy. Once in a while, they will fail to sync, one will be connected, the other one not. That does seem to be getting better, maybe Android is improving the pairing process. I like the type where the buds are wireless but connected to each other by a wire.
But I do use both techs at various times.
