Looking for Earbuds

[Calamity1911]

I'm looking for some recommendations for a new set of earbuds. 

My current budget is in the $30 to $50 range, and I do not want bluetooth earbuds. Ideally wired.

Right now, my phone has a headphone jack (2016 Google Pixel non-XL) but looking forward, my next phone will probably be a used OnePlus 6T which doesn't have one.

 

I would be willing to deal with a dongle for aux to USB C, but native USB C would be just as good. 

 

My last earbuds were Razer Hammerhead USB C (non ANC) and they recently got messed up. The left earbud is now easily 2x louder than the right, and it is out of warranty. I've already done a bunch of troubleshooting in regards to those, and nothing I did has fixed them. 

I really liked how they sounded, but I had two main gripes; the earbuds themselves were heavy and didn't seem to fit or stay in my ear, and the flat cable was janky. The rubberized exterior managed to shift around causing ripples in its surface. It also twisted pretty bad (not just wanting to stay curled up in a circle) even though I always tried to keep them nice and orderly in their case. And they were $70. They were technically a gift, though.

 

So again, I'm looking for recommendations for a set of earbuds ranging from $30 to $50 (USD), either aux or USB C, and sound similar to my old Razer earbuds (albeit that isn' t necessary)

 

Ideally they'd be purchasable from Amazon, but some other places would be fine so long as shipping doesn't take more than a week.

those are the only earbuds between 30 and 50, perhaps wait for a new "drop", or request one you like.

Any decently reviewed "sports clip" earbuds from amazon should be fine

I just tried some ones that by dad had on hand

 

Final Audio E2000

I touched them up with an Equalizer in VLC playing a 320kbps MP3 from my favorite album and they sounded awesome

 

If anyone cares, I attached the EQ settings I used
