For over-ear options, I'd recommend the Sony WH-1000XM5. They're not earbuds, but they provide incredible sound quality, top-tier noise cancellation, and work perfectly with any Android phone. Battery life is amazing at 30+ hours.

Honestly its just ridiculous trying to find anything decent these days without getting ripped off. I bought the S23 Ultra thinking it would be easy to find a solid companion for it, but unfortunately, most of what is on the market is not as good as expected.

• The price-to-quality ratio is totally broken right now. You pay hundreds and get flimsy plastic that feels like it will crack in six months.
• Its a total scam how these companies make everything impossible to repair yourself. If the tiny battery dies, you are just supposed to throw the whole thing away and buy more junk.
• Every time there is a firmware update, something else breaks. The mics get worse or the connection drops for no reason.
• Companies honestly dont care about longevity anymore, they just want you on a replacement cycle. It drives me crazy that we have to settle for such mediocre stuff when we are spending this much money. Honestly, I have basically given up on finding a perfect pair because they all seem to have some massive flaw or just stop working right after the warranty ends. Its a massive headache.

I recently picked up the Bose QuietComfort 45, and they've been fantastic with my S23 Ultra. The noise-cancellation is arguably the best in the business, and the sound quality is crisp and well-balanced. They're incredibly comfortable, which is great for long listening sessions. The mic quality for calls is also very good. They're on the pricier side, but if you want top-tier performance, they're worth considering.
