Another suggestion to check WOOT.com (Amazon).

Anker Soundcore makes several models that are less than $60 that sound really good for the money. I got mine on eBay for $35 and they sound as good as my sons $130 ear buds.

Fifty bucks or less, please. I am but a poor forum admin, accessorizing the Devil's smartphone...

I’ve tried a whole bunch of lower cost ear buds and they just don’t work for me. I’m in the gym 3-5 times a week, running 3 times a week. The best ear buds I have used to date are the Beats.

Water resistant, hold a charge for months, sound quality is excellent and most importantly, they stay on your ears when moving.

Best Buy usually has some great deals during holidays. I think I paid 108 for mine out door.

Last time I charged them was 2 months ago. The box is at 78% charge and the earbuds are at 98%.

I have these.
Refurbed but come with a good warranty.

what’s the model? The ones on their site say 9 hours of listening time.

If you're still looking, I came across these I have no direct experience, but have used Skulcandy wired buds for many years (before getting wireless) and they where reasonable for budget priced buds.

Just saw Amazon Echo Buds (2nd gen) are on sale for $49.99.

No experience with them but may be worth some further research.

Jabra Elite 75t Earbuds

I have had a pair of the Jabra Elite Active 65t earbuds for about four years, and they have been great. If I lost them tomorrow, I wouldn't hesitate to replace them with another Jabra set.

I constantly mow grass, and weed eat with them in; and I have never had an issue.. They have lived a rough life.

Thanks for all the kind offers, guys. It's appreciated, very much.

I’m in for $20.

GoFundme?

Oh, heavens, no. First of all, it's not called for, for something like this, and if it were, Go Fund Me should never be used for any purpose related to this forum. The Canadian Trucker event proved beyond any doubt that the people who run GFM are politically-biased crooks, not to be trusted with even one single penny of your money.

I didn’t read all your responses, para, but I’ve got one of those “lightning to 1/8” jack” connectors like Lefty Sig posted that I’d be happy to send you.

I waited until I actually had these in hand before commenting. My hardwired headphones are Sennheiser and if it doesn't sound good I'm out. I had AirPods and was not impressed. But at $38.00 for $150.00 buds from a manufacturer like JBL, I'm interested. Reviews are a mixed bag but tis is what I've found:

They sound great. You have to download the app if you want to use the EQ. A little clunky when I move from the my iPhone to the iPad but not a deal killer. Great battery life which was the biggest drawback of the AirPods for me. I doubt there is a better deal at $38.00.

JBL Earbuds

Para, I have a collection of different headphones. I have a new pair of Aeropex Afershokz. They are yours if you would like them. They were a warranty replacement and are literally sitting on a shelf and will most likely not ever be used. They are a little too big for my tiny pinhead. They have rebranded and renamed them, but these are what I have. They are the red color. Let me know if they will work for you. The sound quality is quite nice, and the situational awareness they offer is outstanding.

Airpods integrate best with an IPhone. I’ve got a brand new extra pair of gen 2 pods. If someone else here has a charging case, I’ll gladly send them to you Parabellum. These are new. Never in a human ear. Just say the word here or privately and they’re yours with my gratitude for 14 years of enjoying this culture on your dime and your time.

I have the Aeropex like Beancooker mentioned above and they are great.
Very comfortable to wear all day, sound is very good, 8 hour talk time and they don’t go into and block your ears.
