If you are looking for earphones that cost less but are way better then the ones that came free with your device that broke down in the first mount here are some that are better then that ,

Sony Ex14Ap #

These earphones are very small and light weight making them very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The cable is thin that includes a mic with a “L” shaped 3.5mm jake . the sound is rich and full and its can be very enjoyable to use these soundstage good but i the loudness is disappointing and is the lowest in this list but not a issue for me and anyone that is not a fan of blasting the volume bar to the max.

MI basics #

A bit bigger then the sony ones but due to there shape are still very comfortable and the cable is very soft feeling . I was introduced by mobile games they love this due to there imaging they can hear enemies of times and this goes to music as well they provide a well balanced sound for the budget and can get loud if you want them to only issue i have is that the 3.5mm jack is straight and can break.

KZ EDX Pro #

edx pro are IEM shaped but there sound is very consumer targeted and this is why they are great. they feel specially made in a V shape meaning the highs and lows are a bit exaggerated but the mids are still there and the music feels grand and more enjoyable in the end . the cable is removable and can come with a mic and without so make sure to buy a mic if if you want it. The green version looks cool . i also tested a black one it was not as eye catching

KZ ZSN Pro #

this the one i use personally its also a bit of a V shape sound but not a lot mostly its flat and have the biggest soundstage of all of these. These are hybrid meaning have to drivers its response to volume changes is very different then the others. it has a tendency to make imperfections in the audio or DAC very visible and can make it a bit uncomfortable in some way . This how a IEM is used for so its a compliment in that way just make sure that this is what you want before buying other wise stick with the EDX pro . it has a metal back plate and a transparent body that looks very understated in this black color it comes in a gold color that look a bit bling.

Apple earpods #

these are so popular that i don’t have to say much about them i will highlight two things about them here . First they don’t fit some people , the ones that they fit this is the most comfortable earphones ever they are a must have . Second they offer no isolation at all bring another earphones if you are going in a loud environment.

a4TECH MK-610/650 #

good solid metal body. NO mic . clear sound (Don’t have on hand to compare with others but have used them and remember being satisfied if the quality)

Conclusion #

Overall all of these are better then most in this price range still If you are not sure what to buy just buy the KZ EDZ pro. beware of counterfeit apple ear pods and MI basics . as far as durability is concerned KZ is the best and in comfort apple ear pods
