Stop paying for those branded use-and-throw crap, and get yourself one of those modular chi-fi headsets.

Cables broken? Now you don't have to throw the entire thing. Want this, but in USB-C? Just get them cables in the format you prefer. Earbuds uncomfortable? No worries, get them replaced. Want to go wireless? Get yourself one of those Bluetooth module - the neck ones, or the around-the-ear, if that's what you prefer.

I have a pair of 7Hz Salnotes Zero IEMs and I adore them. Sub-$20, sound great, fit my ears and are comfortable for long play sessions - they're the complete package.

Contrasting them to some Etymotic ER3 IEMs buds I received for my birthday years ago the Salnotes sound just as good, but cost four times less. I was terrified of wearing the ER3s out and about in case I broke them somehow, but the Salnotes come with me everywhere.

Both the 7Hz Salnotes Zero and the TruthEar Hola are consider to be almost similar - they both target the Harman neutral, and do so decently well for the money it costs. The Salnotes Zero is a little on the darker side from what I hear, as opposed to the Hola, which is probably just a matter of preference.

The silicon in the Hola are not the best - they're loose and uncomfortable, so I'll probably replace them. And the cable have some minor damage (only physical), so I'll probably get one from Tripowin once it wears down completely.
