I’m in the market for a new pair of ear buds, after I lost my pair of Jabra Elite 65T’s at the Atlanta airport a year ago. I loved them and would buy another pair, but I figured I would get your suggestions first before I spent the money. To be noted, I’m not the most delicate person, so a super fragile pair is not really what I have in mind. Thanks for any suggestions.

Do they need to be true wireless? Otherwise these are my daily drivers.

https://www.amazon.com/KZ-ZS10-Linsoul-Earphones-Detachable/dp/B07QKYTGH9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=5LLDVV72LXES&dchild=1&keywords=kz+zs10+pro&qid=1593449937&sprefix=kz+z%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-3

 

The normal cable is fine but I purchased a thicker/longer cable as well for these.

 

Paired with https://www.amazon.com/EarStudio-ES100-24bit-High-Resolution-Bluetooth-Unbalanced/dp/B078H4YD2L to make them "wireless", or at least not connected to my phone.

 

Look into "chi-fi" if you haven't. The sound of thousand dollar earbuds with the cost of a chinese knockoff. (Essentially you're buying the same components as the expensive ear buds, you're just not buying the 'name brand' on them.)
