These are the active noise canceling version. Which are $148.99 on the mothership. So a savings of $25 if you don’t mind refurbished.
I don’t think I could ever buy used earbuds, not without knowing how deep the cleaning is before they’re resold
These have ANC - the version for under $100 is without ANC.
The ANC on these are ok only, if I bought mine again I would just buy the one without it. It only blocks off around 20-30% noise for me.
They constantly fall out for me too. Super loose and drop out of my ear all the time.
Same, the 1st airpod gen (no NC) despite not having the silicone tips they, stay tightly yet very comfortable for me. I moved to the pro series and I like the NC on them but it hurts my ears after a while. I thought these are great but overall they are ok only, the software processed NC sometimes make me uncomfortable as I cannot hear any sound for a split of second, then noise appears again. Not a smooth transition imo.
