Which wireless earbuds are best for sound quality? (alien.top)

I recently purchased the Sony Linkbuds S and am very disappointed with their sound. The low end is good but the high end sounds almost muffled. Lacking the sound quality i’d expect from an earbud ago this price. I’ve also been having awful connectivity issues where one bud or the other keeps cutting out.

Does anybody know how the Sony C700 compare to the Linkbuds S? If i’m unsatisfied with these will I be unsatisfied with those? Should I bite the bullet and go for the Sony WF XM5? Or does anybody know of any solid earbuds with great sound for $200 USD or less?

I have the XM5s and I'm pretty damn happy with them. They sound really fucking good, much better than my old beats pro 2s, probably better than my old Audio Techanicas, but jt could be because they silence anything coming in with ANC

I haven't tried any of the other recommended buds, but with the Xm5s I can put them in, and I wouldn't be able to hear someone right next to me with ANC on or shouting kids. pretty good when I need to focus in a loud area.
