Downvotes shall list better headphones.

I myself have not found a better solution.

I like apple headphones and i settled on similar shaped non-apple brand at a fraction af the price, but it is lower in quality compared to apple. Microphone is crap and I stopped trying to use it. Headphones level is good at low level and high level sound reproduction, but it is not as accurate as apple.

In the end the trade off is worth it to me for the price, but i will not claim at is better.

So, bring on your alternative and price of it.

I’ve never bought any Apple stuff so I can’t compare but I find Bose products nowadays to be extremely good quality, if a bit pricey

Didn’t downvote but got cheaper earbuds myself because I was concerned about 1) losing them 2) the planned obsolescence.

I used a lot of sites to look up budget earbuds and YouTube mic tests (Apparently this guy still makes earbud comparison videos- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsMdI_q48ZA). I ended up with Earfun Air S and love them. Got them $50.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 (Pro)? I am not an “audiophile” at all so I cannot judge whether they are going to be satisfactory to all those people that imagine they can hear certain tiny frequency contributions (which they cannot, the “audiophile” community is just delusional), but they’ve served me well for the past two years.

I don’t consider myself an audiophile, but I’m still offended on their behalf.

Having said that, after futzing a bit with the eq I do love my Buds 2 Pro.
