Cheap In-Earphones recommendations?

Mr.Stork

I had been using the Sony EX150 from 2017 till now, and it has started causing problems. I wanna buy something close or a little over that price, but maintain the quality of the headphone. I like it mic less, as it keeps the wires smooth and not a bump for mic. I am from India, so you may find anything from Amazon.inEX150 cost me around $10 (700 INR). I don't wanna go above $15.

 

I'd buy the same EX150 if possible, but it's not availabe on Amazon.in as of now. I also don't like weird looking headphones xD.

 

This Sony MDR-EX155 (below) has like a little crater around the wire, I don't know if it'll feel good, it seems weird to me, or else I would have bought it. Idk the quality of it either.

has a mic but if you dont mind that the 1MORE Piston is a common cheap IEM, i have the Triple Drivers which have been very good to me but theyre 60 usd. Build quality is a complaint with a few reviewers on the Piston but it'd be worth a look

Are all 1MORE stuff good? If so I'll look around for 1MORE. Yeah the mic, it may be a bit ticklish when im sleeping or if it touches my neck skin

i dunno if theyre all good products, all i can vouch for is the triple drivers from my own experience. very nice iems and i dont have many complaints. if you like bass-heavy music, i think 1more's sound signature has a more flat response in which case you may wanna stick with more mainstream brands

Qkz vk4 might be up your alley then other wise go for a Sony extra bass I guess. If you havea little bit more  cash to spend the guideray GRI 58 are my favorite iems for bass under $50
