What is the board consensus on some solid and affordable (<$75) earbuds?

I have some Klipsch ones that were great for a few years but they have recently broken. Didn’t know what the market was like now. I love the rubber tip on the Klipsch. I can barely feel they are in there and they block outside noise extremely well.

Caveat: I'd prefer plug in ones because I'll never remember to charge bluetooth ones

Go cheap on this, I promise. Headphones there are big differences but as long as the earbuds fit snug they can be just as good as a $50 pair. I have these and am more than satisfied.

You can get Shure SE215's for 99 on Amazon. You can buy used from warehouse for 83. LINK

Sennheiser Momentums will be good too. 73 on Amazon LINK

For cheaper. I have some Brainwavz M5's. They are fantastic.

I had Klipsch before and prefer these. They aren't as "bassy" but if you turn up your bass boost on your phone or whatever, it will be cleaner bass than the Klipsch.

You see the end of the cable how the rubber is all connected... that's one thing to look for. Those are perfect. My Sennheiser's got bent all throughout a year and the wires were showing at the end of the cable. I returned them and sold the replacement.

If that makes sense.

Klipsch S4 - still one of the best for the money.

I think these are the upgrades to the S4.

Should've specified I DO need a mic on it though. I like to take conference calls while I pace around

Just bought these. They are the version in this thread, but with a mic. Great reviews and $13

I'm going to probably get some Klipsch when these crap out, but I couldn't turn down $13 earbuds when all I use them for is Spotify when I sit in my cubicle and conference calls when I walk around.

I would've paid $75 if I didn't get convinced I shouldn't by this thread

QY SoundPEATS on Amazon. $23.99.

I've have shown everyone on the Tech Board and many there will sing their praises. Go use the search function there. Thousands of positive reviews, Bluetooth, in line mic, flat, tangle free cord, and the best fit of any in ear wireless headphones I've ever bought.

Sound quality is excellent as well.
