Do you prefer wired or Bluetooth ear/headphones?
I'm bluetooth all the way these days - I couldn't go back to wires coming out of my phone snagging on things and just generally looking a mess.
I spent a small fortune on a set of Bang & Olufsen headphones - £449 - and I use them every day. You can even change the battery on them. Sound quality is very good. I've got a smaller set of Sennheiser earphones I use in bed or, rarely, when I manage to go out plus some AirPods (over-rated).
I still have 2 sets of wired earphones from years ago and there is no advantage to using them at all. I would sell them but you can't, really, for hygiene reasons even when they've been cleaned properly.
