True Wireless Earbud Replacement

Hi Forum!

I recently (sadly) must say goodbye to my Jabra Elite 75t's that have lasted me around 4 years. And now, find myself looking for replacements. I loved those earbuds dearly in basically every way. Any good recommendations? I am thinking of jumping back into Jabra's product line but I'm sure a lot has changed since my last purchase and wanted to seek some advice before just buying something. I know Sennheiser (who I like generally, love my HD560S) has some offerings, they stack up well? And any recommendation is great, even if it doesn't quite fit the criteria, throw it out there. I appreciate all input and advice!

Here's my requirements:

  • ANC + Hear through/Transparency
  • Good sound quality 
  • Good microphone / call usability
  • Waterproof (at least IPX5 for rain)
  • Wireless (obviously)
  • Prefer to be more like the shape of Jabra Elite 75t's (rather than say air pod pros)
  • ~200 USD or less

 

A few nice to haves (in order of importance to me)

  • Not master/slave setup where you can use either earbud by itself, and not only if the master earbud is in
  • Fully submersible at least temporarily (IPX7)
  • USB-C Charging for case (if that isn't standard nowadays)

They do look interesting and I have heard about them. But I'm personally not a massive fan of the shape or the case (I like my lids). My experience with moondrop thus far has also been 50/50 for a variety of different factors. I may considering buying them though as a backup, doesn't look like daily-drivers to me however.
