re: Loudest earbuds corded or wireless?

Gone through 3 pairs of expensive earbuds that crapped out after about 8 months. Just stopped working, no sign of damage. The cheap ones don’t sound as good but they last I guess just as long. My newest ones are 11 months in so I’m crossing my fingers. They claim the earbuds are water resistant but I think sweat gets in there eventually and they short out.
