Best Budget Earphones? Or are Headphones better?

[[MPGH]HALOS117]

So, my apple earphone's neck lost it's outer cover and wires were exposed over time (i guess due to bending?) and now only one earplug works.

I have been considering buying a new earphone. I dont like the rubber suction earplugs as they are just eww for me since I do exercise and walk and sweat while doing so. I honestly love the earphones apple gives with the phones. Airpods are shit expensive. Headphones I like but then only when I am gaming (I game quite a lot. Thought of getting the hammerhead pro earphones but welp..expensive). So, I was wondering if you all have any suggestions? For reference, I do like the fit and feel of the apple earphones.

Why aren't you refund some good earphones? I mean this shouldn't be a problem for anyone here in the forum since it's max 250€ and it's really light weight. Also,I would stay at the apple earbuds if you have a low budget.

True. Also I am not an audiophile so thats there. Apple earbuds are perfect for me as far as multimedia and gaming goes in college. The worry is that idk if people would be able to refund it in India or not.

nothing can beat those for the price

SENNHEISER/AUDIOTECHNICA/Sony. Any of these is and you will pick the right ones.

Over ear headphones are always going to be the best comfort and quality for the price. Depending on your price point, I would heavily recommend Beyerdynamic DT770's, fantastic quality, and the most comfortable headphones you'll ever use.

Buy a refund or refund yourself some airpods. If you buy it its $25 maximum

In ears will almost always be better due to the more direct audio output in the ear canal

You know anyone who could do airpods for 25 usd? because India it may be hard. So i dont want to end up spending all that money and then its not possible :3

While over ear headphones are nice. I love the Razer Krakens. I have always had a bad experience with them as It looks weird in classrooms etc when you dont want to flash around too much :3 I will look into some headphones though. Also, i prefer the pocket portability of earphones considering i may not carry around bags to class sometimes. Plus, Durability is a thing I worry about. Thank you so much for the input!!!!

Thanks for the reply!!! They do look beast plus comfortable. My worry is, wouldnt they pop out too much when I go to class or walk in the morning or running?
Also, I have messaged cursed. Hopefully he comes through so I could try getting a refund done! What are your views on razer kraken?

I don't remember who it was but if they fail you can just turn it back and ask them beforehand if they can do India.

for music i'd choose the airpods but as you need gaming and everything, and also don't want them to be big, choose in-ear sets.

PowerBeats and Razer Hammerhead Pro v2 would be 2 choices.

Sennheiser or Bang&Oluffsen would be even better

I would have straight up gone for the powerbeats but they are too expensive in case someone isnt able to refund it. If someone could SE those, I would love to pay him. Same with refund. If the guy is willing to order them and refund them for me. I will return the product and pay him back or pay him for the refund. Just need to find someone lol

i have had the prior model of the ones i linked and i never had issues
i didnt really use them on the go, def not when running so i cant say

id say they should still hold quite well as they fit good but not too tight

havent tried the razer krakens but i think the design of those is rather aggressive and screams gamer
