Buying earbuds

[LOST TALE]

Aim: low price, high durability, not bad sound.

Request: To be counseled regarding the sound quality and durability. Background: My earbuds die due to cable being ripped off (not literally but enough to severe the connection). I have to buy new ones about every-two years after 1 year of connection problems (1 side going off or losing most of its signal).
Rational:

Spoiler

 

I previously asked about durability and was informed that the cable/connection durability is an issue across the board. I was shown an option with a replaceable cable but expensive.

I concluded buying more lower-priced ones is better.

 

I shop with CAD$ btw.

 

1. 20$USD, Claims ductile and strain resistant cable.

those are what I had awhile ago, seemed fairly durable but broke after about 6 months. Other than that, great sound for the price. They were on amazon.ca for about $20 CAD a little while ago

I recommend the Panasonic TCM 125, they are quite good.

My friend said he tried mid range 20-40$ ones and that it wasn't worth it. (sound was better but they'd break)

He settled with cheap 1-3$ ones. I'm gonna try them today.
