Apple Earpods Alternatives

[ddswh1pk0s]

Hi everyone long time no see!
 

I am in the market for replacements earphones since a 12.5kg (25lb) pound dumbbell bent the jack on my apple earpods.

I'm not really in the mood for paying $30-40 for the same ones but am happy to pay up to $50 (!!!AUD!!!)if there is a brand that has better sound quality.

 

My only request is that they don't have the super soft silicon/rubber attachments on them as I can't stand the way they feel in my ears.

 

Thanks in advance

The Amazon premium earbuds are just as good as the apple ones and I think look cooler too, it's just whether or not you can find them that's the problem.

Well, I'm not an earbud kind of guy. I prefer in-ear headphones. So I'm not very knowledgeable that way. 

 

But from reading a lot of forum posts, it looks like the following earbuds are very well received (and much cheaper than Apple earpods):

 

- VE Monk

- Sennheiser MX365

- Edifier H180
