The I paid $25 for these pretty decent ones, they go for $60 retail. Everything was fine and then I remembered the third reason this is trash technology: the screen thingie always comes off, or gets gummed up and has to be taken ‘ off, making it sound like something I wouldn’t even pay $5 for.

If it isn’t that, earbuds will either not stay put, or I’ll lose one, just one.

ZX10 with decent IEMs... Not sure what you do to your buds but mine usually outlive decent battery life or preferences.

IEM you have a marginally better chance of finding something tougher maybe?

I got some of that style because I liked how the wire and speaker part were separate so you can replace broken parts.

I find the shape where they go up over your ear really annoying. Is there a reason they have to be that way? Can't they be normal going straight down? Are there any like that?
