Looking for higher quality "Classic" style in ear headphones

Hi long time reader first time writer. Ive been using the headphones seen bellow. And ive liked them for the few months ive used them but was wondering if there were anything better to look at for upgrading. Im not the biggest fan of rubber/silicone/what ever those foam things are ear tips. These round designs always felt alot more natural and these are the only higher end headphones i can find that are in this form factor (that arnt airpods) 

 

Anyway! Thanks for reading this and i look forward to the suggestions

EDIT: As Suggestions (hopefully) come in I will post links to the different headphones here to create a resource for the 10 people like me who dont like those rubbery things with out the need for scrolling 

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Adidas-Headband-Sports-Headphones/dp/B0094R4150 (looks cool but the reviews tell a different tale DUN DUN DUNNNNN)

https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Aurvana-Active-Clip-Earphones/dp/B002DTZEXE (the ones i use right now! I really like these but theyre pretty "mid tier")

 

https://www.amazon.com/Koss-Porta-Pro-KTC-Headphone/dp/B006QR8W6K (not really the target form factor. But definitely a alternative)

So over ear and not in ear?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

No I believe i'm after in ear unless there's a weird genre that I dont know about.  Im looking for the form factor of the headphones I had embedded in the original post but higher quality

I'd consider those over the ear, as it has a clip and doesn't stick itself inside your ear

 

Probably want to search for "Sport Earbuds/Headphones"

you could get koss porta-pros, quite similar. they're on ears but quite similar to that style, with the hooks

 

if you are fine without the hooks, they're known as 'earbuds' - something like the Yincrow X6.

idk

Thanks!! Ive been considering the porta pros. Would be good for college (I kinda feel weird wearing big bulky over ears around so that might work) Dont know if my boss at work would tolerate them though Yincrow is alittle under the quality id like but I've used them before and theyre good enough.
