Do you have a link to them? I tend to need to replace mine every couple of months and it's infuriating.
Try some sports/exercise focused earbuds, they tend to be more durable.
Could also check /r/headphones. I've been happy with my Letshuoer S12 I got on a recommendation from there. Pricey, but I'm happy with the quality after churning through cheap pairs.
i tried but can't find any. they're Pioneer wired earbuds with ear hooks (sports style), black in color, and were quite inexpensive - about 13€ IIRC. i got them in some local store
i have them for about 7, 8 years and, while i haven't used them daily for all that time, i've done so extensively, a lot of times outside, while running and in different circunstances where i have not always been very careful with handling the wires
i'm quite amazed at their durability - something i am very fond of in the items i use frequently and that often frustrates me
edit: to add that also the sound quality is quite good, and they even cancel a decent chuck of outside noise! this is some good sh*t man
since i'm selling them so well and i can't find a reference in the webs or in the object itself, here's a photo
