Hello just looking for some good premiumish wired earbuds any suggestions? Been looking for a little while now want something premium around 50gbp ish.

 

Been using the akg earbuds that come with the samsung galaxy s10 don't want these again.

 

Don't want wireless or bluetooth, would like something with a 3.5mm jack.

Also would like to be comfortable to wear.

 

Did start to look at the senheiser ie4's but would  prefer something a little more pricer no more then 90gbp preferably (great British pound) everything seems to be wireless or Bluetooth did look through the linustechtips audio playlist but best video is only about wireless earbuds.

 

Never tried in ear monitors so may be open for suggestions, however would like something that doesn't need a dac or amp whatsoever.

 

Give as many suggestions as you like.

Cheers.

I'll recommend KZ ZS10 Pro just because I love KZ (no other reason, honestly) but @rice guru is probably the best person ask this question to.

Have you used these? 

I've tried them once from a friend and the quality is pretty high and the audio is pretty neutral.

are a bit over priced for a pair of IEMS with quationable durabilty due to the mildly low quality attached cable.

This is a pretty easy one! Tin T2s! Well known at this point for their extraordinarily good sound performance and features at a low price. Detachable cables specifically are a huge plus because if your cables get damaged you just buy some new ones and keep jamming! They're very neutral, and detailed and also quite lightweight.

The previously mentioned KZ ZS10 Pro are a great option as well. Although have a worse stock cable, don't include foam tips and are a bit bulkier if it matters to you. As for sound they have better bass than the T2s with a bit less soundstage but more detailed overall. Really down to preference and/or availability, you'd be happy with either choice.
